And a fine grocery list it was. We will be well fed.

Just how expensive is it? They are real careful to not mention price on their website even with the bright red "Order Here" tab, which only tells me that there is not a dealer within 300 miles of me. And how much is the conversion fluid that you have to run thru first?

So Condor is Mr Twinkie......

There is good news and bad news here. The good news is that you have all but eliminated carb issues as the culprit. The bad news is that it is an intermittent electrical issue. The worst thing to find. There are a lot of electrical things that can cause your symptoms. The big clue here is that the tach drops to zero when the engine stumbles. This means that there is no longer a signal being sent to the #2 coil. If it was just the #2 cylinder dropping out you would hardly notice it at all in the running. This means that you have multiple cylinders dropping at the same time. As Frank mentioned the cruise is a indicator of power to the ignition. If the "ON" light flickers dims or goes out while the engine is stumbling then you know that that circuit is the problem. I would start by checking all of the power and grounds to the ignition system and clean the kill switch. They are the easiest things to do.

I love finding those in the woods when the deer flies are buzzing around my head. I just hold my head close to the web and give ol spidy a treat.

Never say never.......

The best parties are always in the ladies room....... Next time pop in and see whats popin.

You are trouble, nuttin but trouble I tell ya....... Hmmmm....... Maybe that thing would let me make the special adapter for Cowpucs snow machine to be able to send some snow down into a Green Valley somewhere.........:stirthepot:

And while doing some maintenance work on one of my machines just this weekend we were talking about SNOW. We have been known to have SNOW starting in September around here. As for color or colour rides........white is a color / colour.....

Just don't try to fit a venture in there He had to have helpers to hold the sides apart so he could fit thru

Dang it, Stop posting toys like that where I can see it.........:mo money:

Great news that they found something fixable. Now follow Dr's directions so you and Olivia can swim over here in a couple of weeks.

Yes the rectifier and regulator are built into the same housing and are replaced as a unit.

I may be able to pop in a few times tonight. I have lots of baking to do. I have to make Rumballs and Apple Pie for 350 people and finish both tonight .... Leaving early tomorrow morning to head north with the incendiaries packed in the truck.

There are many steps involved. 1. Find time and ambition to clean workbench to find the safe location bulbs were put. 2. Find screwdriver in back of truck. (did you ever look in the back of my truck?):whistling: 3. Take apart cruise display. OK this part is quick and easy. 4. Repair cracks in housing as long as it is apart. 5. Install LEDs and hook up to check polarity. 6. Reverse bulbs that are backwards. 7. Put it all back together and put away tools. OK this part is pretty easy too. 8. Go for a test ride (This also can take a long time since I tend to get lost when going for a test ride.....) 9. Go for another test ride (see #7) at night to see if they are to bright. 10. Write up a test report for you to study....... See, not so easy as it sounds.....

When changing to LED you almost always want to match the LED color to the lens color. This might just be the one case where you really do want less light so the white might be better:confused24:. The LED replacements that I bought are color matched but are not very bright either so we will see once I get around to installing them. I was kind of hoping for bright enough to be easy to see in full sunlight, and was thinking of making a dimmer to tone them down at night. When I changed all of the rest of the dash lights to LED, I just plugged in the bulb. If it lit I had the polarity correct, if it did not I just puled the bulb and turned it around. I had a 50/50 chance of having each one right on the first try, and was 100% right on the second try. Much faster and easier than getting out the volt meter to find polarity. If these LEDs last the rated 50,000 hours, I'll be pushin daisies before I have to replace them.

It does but you will end up permanently damaged if you ever do read and understand a womans mind.....

I have a set of the #74 bulbs from Super Bright LED for my cruise lights, but have not got around to installing them yet, so I do not know if they will fit (They look to be physically bigger than the incandescent bulbs) or how well they will work. I suppose I need to get my butt in gear and get that done one of these days...... My "Set" is intermittent, it could be a wiring issue, a loose bulb or a bulb ready to burn out.

I was loosing coolant for a while with no visible source. It turned out to be a leak in the freeze plug behind the side covers and the heat of the engine was evaporating the coolant before it could get to a point of being visible. But that oil water mix in the air cleaner does not sound good. How high on the sight glass do you fill the oil? If it is filled over half it will pump the extra oil into the air cleaner. Did you recently ride in heavy rain? that could account for the water in the air cleaner. Did you try Seafoam? I would try a good dose of Seafoam in the gas and some more in the engine oil (per instruction on the can) to attack the sticky ring from both sides. Maybe you can get lucky and have it loosen up. Have someone follow you to see if you have steam or oil smoke coming out the exhaust on hard acceleration, cruise or hard engine braking. Hopefully someone that knows the difference between steam and smoke out the exhaust.

Sounds like you are ready to hit the road. Now you just need to find enough stuff to fill it up.

I was only a trial member for a couple of days and that was many years ago. Can a trial member use the PM or email systems to contact members?

Have to careful with that statement. I have never seen a LED that will take 12v without a resistor. The lamps you are thinking of are rated at 12v because they have a built in resistor. What you need is a type 74 bulb. It is nothing specific to Yamaha. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/Sylvania-Map-Light-Mini-Bulb/_/N-5yc1s?itemIdentifier=16841

Not hearing them is a benefit. BUT if the phone is in the tour pac and you go down, you may not be able to get to it. I prefer to have the phone with me, There is a better chance I will be able to use it if it is on me. I usually have it in a zippered pocket. Even if it does ring, I can not hear it.

Judging from the website, they can make wider and/or longer. Give them a call. Since you have time, you may be able to find a slightly used flat bed trailer. I am not sure how wide a 2nd gen is, but my 1st gen is 39 inches at the widest point.

I used to live across the street from some outlaw members, I attended many of their parties. Never saw them give issue to anyone in the neighborhood.
