Check Throttle cable freeplay and for correct freeplay at actuator. Then perform following cycle test taking 2.5 seconds as shown on page 8-75 of manual and let us know what happens.

Ah Hah!!! Finally! Thanks for letting us know.

The suspense is killin' me.

I am holding my breath. Starting.....NOW!!!!

The short version of what Yamaha recommends can be found in the owners manual, and it typically says to use Yamaha this that and the other. The long technical version of what Yamaha recommends can be found in the service manual where the actual specifications for the items are listed. I am using what Yamaha recommends per specification, just not in Yamaha labeled brands. Once you have hacked into a factory Yamaha filter you will never again buy one. See here... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?96009-Oil-Filter-Comparisons-Hey-I-m-no-Engineer As for Oil... I use a JASO MA rated, API SM rated, CJ-4 rated, oil in the synthetic flavor of 5W-40. As for filter... I use a Purolator PL14459 because it actually exceeds Yamaha's published specs.

Trunk Strut?

I thought the plug was vibrating out of the socket causing my GPS to die as well. Ran fin in the car. Turns out the charging cable was bad and would lose connection with all the vibration on the bike, but would work fine in the car. Replaced the cable and now no more problems with maintaining a constant charge when on the bike.

The damaged area still exists to the tire carcass even with a tube. It's speed rating is no longer valid. The method of retaining air with a tube is just as reliable as installing a patch with protruding plug from inside the tire. In either event the tire must be dismounted, the hole cleaned and deburred. I believe a patch that includes a protruding plug installed from within the tire is much better than running a tube. Either of those options is better then running with a plug just pushed through the exterior of the tire. Many folks have run thousands of miles with exterior plugs. They are just lucky.

@Freebird, this is what my side looks like.

@Freebird, I can't see the video or the link. Just a large white space.

You said, "per month". The quote I got was $173 for a whole year.

No static or anything with the volume turned up? Does the display cycle to am and fm?

100+ degrees here for the past week and going to be that way for the next week or so. Not only can I hear the fan come on at stoplights, I can feel the breath of Satan roasting my right foot as well.

They did not ask, nor is there a query, for any 4 wheeled vehicles. All they have is my bike.

Has anybody gone to the Markel site I posted above and gotten a free quote for your state and bike? If so, was there any difference?

Is the clutch basket 'fingers" where the frictions ride smooth?

Check Shift linkage and lubricate all pivot points. I had a ball joint get outta whack and was replaced under warranty. http://v4biker.tumblr.com/post/137722185652/ball-joint-loose Make sure you have no slop and that your movements actually contribute to changing gears. Do you ever use the heel shifter.

Did you just do an oil change?

Thank you Eagleeye.

You have too many lights when you can no longer power the ignition with all the lights on....

New driveshaft time.
