    Here in Wisconsin trailers under 3,000 lbs GVW do not need to get tags. You can get them if you want to, IIRC its $12 / year. I have heard of people with no trailer tags getting hassled in states that do require tags. Not common but if the LEO is having a bad day...... My trailer is not plated and I have pulled it thru states requiring tags with no issues. I would think the first thing to do is to find out if you really want to ship it home.

    As with any chemical, it depends on the plastic. Nail polish is solvent based, different brands have different solvents, ABS is easily melted with many solvents. Test on an inconspicuous spot and dont get carried away with the application.

    The plastic safe Loctite is NOT basically superglue. Superglue will attack most plastics also. When referring to Loctite products you should always refer to the part number. There are dozens of different Loctite thread lockers and only 6 colors. What I normally use is; Red = 263 blue = 243 Green = 290 Most of us use; Red = 262 Blue = 242 Green = ? Many people use one of the 7 different green bearing retainers as a thread locker. The green Loctite 290 is designed to be applied AFTER the parts are assembled. The plastic safe Loctite is # 425 and it is a blue color. I am not sure if it is ABS safe. the Loctite data sheets part of their site is down rite now. I just do not use any thread locker anywhere near ABS.

    If it is late July like it was this year that would give you plenty of time to mosey on over.

    Maybe International Falls got the cold shoulder????? Is the 43.5 parallel close enough to the 45th? Like I said, I would be willing to do what I can to help if it is close to me.
  13. Flyinfool
    I guess a big question is about how many people should one have to plan for for the international? That will determine what kind of facility is needed. There were 23 RSVPs, about how many actually showed up this year?

    I like that idea. It would end up within riding range of my marshmallow butt...... I do not have the time, knowledge, or expertise to spearhead it but I would certainly be willing to help out whomever did take it on.

    I guess I consider taking on a hands free phone the same as talking to a passenger. first it is rare for me to even answer a phone while driving. If I do it is just 1 button push to answer and have it on speaker phone. I then drop the phone in my shirt pocket and can talk hands free as if the person were next to me in the vehicle. I do know some people that can not talk to a passenger and pay attention to the road at the same time. I have different ring tone for those that I might actually want to talk to verses all others, If it ain't the right ring, I don't even look to see who it is. If it is important they will leave a message. If some one died, they will still be dead when I next stop. If they are critically sick, don't call me call 911. I have seen people texting while driving a bike. When on the bike I do not even turn the phone on.

    Food, Ice Cream, friends are all part of the process to deliver the trailer. I see no Hijack here...... We do have to make sure that the trailer actually get transferred.......

    It is the big gear that is the kicker. If Yami discontinues it, then the starter clutch going will soon become terminal. Dano Maybe while you still have a new one on hand, draw it up with all of the critical dimensions so that some day down the road someone can look into making some up. If you want I can help.

    Quick and dirty tests. Start by fully charging the battery. Check the voltage with the engine off and again with the engine at 2,000 or higher. Engine off you should have at least 12.0V withe the engine running, If you have less than 12V, most likely it is a bad battery that is not covered by Yamaha warranty. But since the battery is fairly new its waranty should cover it. Have it load tested. Engine running you should have around 14V, if not, back to dealer. test two, if you have a lighted circuit tester. Disconnect the negative battery terminal. Connect the tester from the neg bat terminal to the neg battery lead. If the light is visible at all, even if very dim in the dark, then you have something on the bike that is pulling power. Take out the fuses one by one till you find the culprit. Don't forget any fuses that you may have added for accessories. Once you determine that it is not something you did, then back to dealer.

    Hmmmmm Kind of warns people that it is a sleeper..........

    Most likely the #2 cylinder. The tach gets its signal from the #2 ignition circuit. Intermittent issues are the worst to find. I would start by cleaning and checking all of the connectors in the ignition circuit. Yes they are a PITA to get to.

    There is an aftermarket replacement available, I think it was Dingy that put one on his bike. I don't remember the maker.

    Be sure to go to the DQ website to find a PARTICIPATING DQ. I will have to drive right past 4 DQs to get to the nearest participating DQ. :essen_018: :essen_018: :essen_018: :essen_018: :essen_018:

    Well then we fixed another problem for you.

    As long as you have the rear wheel off, be sure to clean and grease the pins while you are there. If you are taking it in, most shops will not do the grease unless you ask.
