So are you wiring up a PLC for a controller Fool?

Wish I wasn't busy playing with the grandkid,, I'd come down there and hold the target for ya brother:duck:!!! Sounds like fun Slyvester ! Enjoy the day of play my friend!!

:sign yeah that: IMHO, a bad seal and/or corrosion at the base of the valve stem where it sets in its rubber seal can cause some mysterious slow leaking issues (so can corrosion/ickyness along the bead areas) that can occur while the wheel is spinning up at speed. Perhaps, this is why the following video of all my dorky video's on YouTube has the highest level of viewage??

,, That's odd,, I thought disirement was being properly used as it meant you were looking for something other than tires, in this case = noise adjusters for the headers that were left behind when your scooter lost its engine at MD and @dogman noticed it . If you were looking for tires my frost bit Ice Cream lovin brain would have been expecting the word ditirement (prounced dee-tire-ment).. WOWZY WOW WOW WOW,, you lop eared tail chasing varmints sure nuff got my straight forward thinkin beaner ALL twisted up now..

P.S. = I didnt even know us lop eared varmints had to have a certain number of posts to be able to post pics, guess that makes me a forum geezer of some sort .. I think if I was you, a new member with a new bike to post pics about,, I would probably just starting "I GOT IT!!" over and over and over again until I got to the point I could post up the pics ..

WAYYYYY COOL Hunter!! I'd be more excited than a goose that just laid a golden egg :dancefool::dancefool:!! Congrats and,, about those pics = it's The Code ya know!! on the many many miles of pure CTFW enjoyment between you and your new scoot!!!

They also appear to be rubber mounted (common) for anti-vibes and the Crown Nuts may not allow for tightening. If this is so and they are loose, maybe remove the Crown Nuts and reshim against the rubber using washers or order up new rubber dampners as shown here = part number 19: https://www.yamahapartsnation.com/oemparts/a/yam/500449a9f8700209bc79057d/steering

:sign yeah that: followup on this,, just do it!!

Thats why I suggest getting actual Carb Jet cleaners such as these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/AIFUDA-Set-of-3-Carburetor-Carbon-Jet-Cleaner-13-Wire-Torch-Tip-Cleaner-Tool-2/163408329640?epid=2296693244&hash=item260be53ba8:g:mVgAAOSwgVJcAo6I So you can use a smaller wire cleaner than the actual jet size. By doing so you can run the wire in and monitor what, if anything, is captured in the wires knurled cleaning area and if you pick up any brass you know your to deep. It's takes a little getting use to using them cause you dont want to oblong or oversize the jetting but it is very doable IMHO. Another thing that I have used for years is a ChemDip dip tank like this:https://www.ebay.com/itm/Berryman-New-0996-Chem-Dip-Carburetor-and-Parts-Cleaner-96-oz-Can-with-Basket/332798651243?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item4d7c586b6b:g:EqcAAOSwvoNblLcS&enc=AQADAAAB4KX%2FKt4E1xf3SDqEdBclaYbes89adbLV33TB8MwLD8p4aG97GaVyUYZVZnynYbp3yEjyH5IKjWVnZvOBvlJr5VGpxmJ0ir5m2Q5EYha39n4nEsocDLVP1toADfJ0n2TCmxc5jSUjoZ3mDbzVpCi44rX4BZylEsmU7saxvTJ3IaawJp58swPxhsTbYdkp9AaDjUxJeeaBm448vEoeoa0LpU9zQOCUt9DfKvBCmIi35NadqICllAFp9g6SSI%2BuVEqNhQxxAPkgo%2Bie0cZoXt%2Bu0bdXHwav0DiIcJ16X3vUuqiT7B1iMjAQwR2ie7VzBBIhkaQ6FHnNvi%2FA3%2B%2FUHBF6uu8XIEdUiOXps5%2FZ94wtQ4j1dr%2BeIP%2BkZwd9A4erDe2ae3O95aNMaCK%2Fgw%2B1v3Uqgw%2Fd6FiRLqVnBNZhApsB6DOMLprOAWhZRnHhF3UslHP2RYvbmajzxfFGwPcbJMmfIMWZEDk9SDQ7LWTOof3ZtHEPf342wkYmVfVTPZ%2Feiu0LtlyC3eaI9bEWHzw%2FKLl3vTgBbhSNO%2FV7uyNPD0Z%2Bh0QTmcOlEt%2BrMHIHyIdLAB1KKZVEVg05k7RsDV9aDnN460jcjqflghLDMVfYjT7EFQuRs1xDA6oAMLm4dyFdZSsK1Q%3D%3D&checksum=3327986512435ad17e050f0140a3ae6690e35e9e0347 I have found this to be the only thing out there that will actually loosen stuff in clogged jetting. Spray cleaner does an ok job but no where near as effectively as Chem Dip and I have had no positive results with soaking in pure "in tank" cleaners such as Sea Foam. By the way @Gearhead,, you are more than welcome on the advice.. Glad to help!

TOTALLY !! If there is any form of a law suit involved most attorney's look for deep pockets and lots of em, knowing that - I highly doubt that the DMV and company he was working for at the time that he killed those bikers will come out unscathed either. Sadly though,, the ones who lost their loved ones and the riders who were slain on that dreadful day are the ones who paid the highest price, especially the children who lost their Dads.. Soooo sad.. Scale it any way ya want but I still think this is all a result of the loss of accepting personal responsibilty - something that has gotten mighty thin in the world today IMHO.

WAYYY COOL ROLLER!! A lot of folks don't know this but I love starring in videos, especially ones that involve eating Ice Cream

Now there ya go ya lop eared Ice Cream slayin varmint,,, presenting a challenge that you really do not know whether or not you can win!! I have eaten many many Ice Cream kings under the table so you best be careful Big T. My credentials are known throughout the country including winning a World Championship held at Leatherby's out in Oak Grove California where the challengers were world class varmints. If we are in town during the WNY Rally and there is anything left of me after the Grandkids out west get done working me over (I have a rebuild of a mini-bike out there to perform) Tip and I may very well make the trip and take you up on your challenge ya varmint so you best be careful!!

:thumbsup: IMHO, it almost impossible to completely clear jets with just compressed air and spray carb cleaner cause you really dont know if what your seeing at the end is actual sized correctly jetting. At a minimum a piece of wire trimmed off a wire brush and then carefully scraping the jets wall is prudent IMHO.. I have been using Jet Cleaners for a good while - they are very similar to Torch Tip Cleaners if you are familiar with those? They have a knurled surface on them that allows you to clean at a smaller size and visually see if your removing crud as you work. I would also advise spraying carb cleaner into the low speed jet housing in the carb body and make sure the carb spray is coming out of the tiny delivery hole(s) so you know that the passages thru the body are open. I like to use Propane for testing for vacuum leaks.. Just take a small propane torch, open the valve but dont light it and shoot the gas stream around the intakes with the motor idling.. If she is pulling air - I generally can hear a tone change or idle change. You could be (and probably are) dealing with only one,, maybe two, cylinder's not functioning properly. Start it up from cold using the choke, tempt test each header as it warms up and see if you can find one that is not coming up to temp to isolate the issue. These bikes tend to be fairly cold blooded and dont run well until they warm up normally but, due to Mom Yam's choice of spaconrk plug size ("D" plugs), the plugs will easily blacken and become fouled if the choke is over used = move the choke off as it warms up and your monitoring the header heat. Hesitations/stumbles right off the bottom are not always fuel/air - carb issues.. As a matter of fact, I have encountered exactly what you wrote (see Red above) numerous times thru the years and more times then not - discovered the issue was ignition related. Blackened plugs, carbon tracking on plug caps, the notorious corrosion at the plug cap/wire connection, cap gone to high resistance, corrosion at plug wire/coil pack connection and even corrosion at the pins on the TCI.. Another area to check is the vacuum at the spark advance module and module itself.. IMHO, just because adding fuel to the fuel/air mixture via the enricher circuit causes it to run better does not necessarily mean it is carb related. In that you have already been thru the carbs and know they are up to snuff - I would consider looking elsewhere..

Grab a cheap bore scope off ebay and take a look around - never know what cha might find.. Couple tablespoons of Marvel Mystery down each intake in an attempt to free up the valves that are rusted closed. Then do the same with each pot and leave the plugs out. After sitting for few days, put a socket on the stator rotor nut with a breaker bar on it and rock the crank back and forth. This doesn't always work though,, I have had em so stuck from sitting that I had to drive the pistons out with a hunk of oak wood and beater. Bottom line, even if you do get her broke free you very well may end up with a rebuild project as corroded cylinders with a ridge built up from rust doesn't always fair well with ring faces... All IMHO of course! Good find Snype!!

Pace pace pace,,, couldn't sleep,, couldnt eat,,,, just pace pace pace... Way it worked around here was always - "This is rediculous Tip,, we may as well hit the end of the drive way and toss the coin for a heading cause I can't handle the pacing no more ).. Of course, retirement and having grown and gone kids has it's advantages in that department .. GO FOR IT CHA!! CLEAR SKIES, WIND AT YOUR BACK AND HAPPY CTFW BROTHER:thumbsup:

So sorry to read this Brenda! You and your family have my deepest condolences and prayers as you work thru the grieving process sister. Thank you Snipe for posting this up!!

Anyone interested in those Aquilla 9's for 7.99/50 count that @Sylvester turned us onto, here is a link to them: https://www.ganderoutdoors.com/aguila-pistol-ammunition-1027641G.html#q=9mm&lang=default&start=1! Scroll down when it uploads,, 115 grainers for the price Sly mentioned (THANKS SLY)!! I have bought a LOT of Shotgun shells for my AR12 from this company and had REALLY good luck with em = fast ship right to the front door. I will add though, and I might be wrong in this case, that it appears you do have to purchase over 99 bucks (easy to do) worth to get the free ship - Sly, did you finalize the deal and did your cart bottom line show the free ship activated after purchasing 1000 rounds? Does this sound correct Sly = 99 bucks to get the free ship?

,, my trigger finger is itchin over that price and I dont even have a 9mm . GOOD FIND SLYvester!!

GOOD ONE @BIG TOM @Marcarl,,, practice practice practice

TATERS = CONGRATS TO ALL OF US ON THIS GRANDBABY STUFF = TALK ABOUT A BLAST!!! Marcarl = notice how that Taters liked my post? = .. Now you gotta practice on your discernments as well as your :bighug:techniques..

I always though a fixed fairing designed to open like the hood of a car to make easy access to all the goodies hidden under the fairing would be wayyy cool.. Maybe some sort of a slide out fairing or backwards opening car hood type would be a remarkable advantage for putting a whooping on any Gremlins that get trapped under there while out CTFW.. A carbon fiber hand laid, lighter weight fairing in that configuration would not only be a huge plus to the far rider but would also add MPG's plus,, and probably more important,, make the amazing highway dominating 1st Gen even that much more :checkeredflag:

Heyyyyy,,, look what the kind winds blew in,,, sup Tater?? Things been pretty good around here,, Bossman got himself one of them new 3rd Genners so he thinks his pretty cool but can't keep up with us V-4 riders no more, YamaMama held the Huggin Contest again at MD and Saddlebum won, me and Dogman had a pretty good laugh when Dogman noticed the motor in Carl's spyder was missing, been raining a lot but most of these lop eared varmints got duck blood in em or something cause they just keep on riding although there was an abnormal amount of RV's at Don's MD but I surmised that was more due to age of attenders than being skeered of the rain, got myself 2 baby grandsons now and another on the way = LOTS OF FUN:big-grin-emoticon:,, probably wont see us out east at the NY Rally cause one of those kids is out west... Say HI to all for Tip and I though.. What you been up to? Any inside info on the big news surprize coming for the rally in NY that @Big_Tom keeps about ya wanna leak out,,, or rumors ya wanna start ? Is Mom Yam gonna drop the putzy V-Twin and stick a 1700cc V-4 in that thing like she shoulda done in the first place and Big Tom is gonna announce it:missingtooth:? Is there a new flavor of Ice Cream that Big Tom has discovered ? Good to hear from ya Taters!!! Puc
