Prayers out for your brother that someone slips up... Truth got to prevail. I have older neighbor real nice guy.. But he don't play.. Not sure if stand your ground is law in Missouri but know it didn't use to be. Life in danger you dang straight in gonna defend myself anyway I can... Me it involves tire iron or metal pipe under seat in truck... Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk

First video is of what i believe to be baffle rattle at 4000 rpm and only at that rpm. the second video is of the VW bug whistle I have been talking about, you can also hear a slight popping, so thoughts?

Not to be mean or anything but all an Apple is an Overglorified tablet or computer!! But there are the critics

2nd gen trani can fit? So vmax hub assembly is all I would need... I am chasing an annoying oil leak.... And would rather keep my bike with 2nd gear... Where do I find write up? Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk

Good cuz I do know the venture or site has it it's just I can't blow up the pictures big enough to see them Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk

Your talking about the instrument panel connection issue... are you talking about the plug itself or the sodering on the board.... I replaced dash on mine because last one was slightly light. I still have issues that are intermittent where I am out of gas,kickstand is down, low on oil, low on brake fluid.... the other warnings are bipassed but it gets annoying.... I have tried the zip tie trick but don't think I have that right. What area are you from. I know of a torn down 83 that is supposed to be a 1300 not sure if it is a royal or not. I will say the 87 a guy brought down to my house seemed it sat up higher. Well it did I had to TIP TOE with it, my 83 I sit flat footed...

Can you please show me where these dogs are you are talking about, all I see is shiny metal.... Ok I am not advanced enough but what is the dogs you speak of and where would this washer be that needs the replacing on these bikes?

well it was till basically you dont ride it you pilot it

Umm I THOUGHT YAMAHA DID GOOD WIHT DESIGN..... BUT THE ugly duckling just flew way south and dang this bike OMG!!! it is sweet looking

I took mine off for two reasons I like the airflow with them off and my legs don't sit against them. Last winter I had them on and on cooler days it did seem warmer with them on. Thought it was me but I keep thinking I'm right. Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk

The only thing this tought me was

It should be I got 2 laying in a box... Believe it just bolts onto the side of number 2 carb... Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk

Forgot to put in there that I didn't know jack about bikes... And this site laid that to rest also why I went with the Yamaha v4 then the cruiser style ninja in sheep clothing... Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk

I am confident you can do this work Ty. I was mechanically inclined just cause I like to tinker on things. But before joining this forum never resodered computer boards or took a gas gauge sending unit apart.. Thanks @Freebird for that gas gauge works well!! Never thought about replacing my battery cables but that is thanks @yamagrl for that. I paid someone to rebuild my carbs and clean them. But they just wasn't right. So I bought my own set and the CD everyone recommends... I really thought I knew what I was doing but needed a bit of help. So far I have put 24 into this site and 20 dollars into the carb and engine rebuild CD. So 40 Vic all together which has saved me 1000's. Now I have my exhaust pulled waiting on oil pan gasket and filter. Plus I found I had no problems with my exhaust just pipe fitment and a couple of orings. Really not hard to do IMHO. Specially with the guidance found here. I even tackled going all led to lighten load on the charging system plus added pulsing brake light. All of which with confidence from this sight. Shrevk will be hibernating all winter so why not get in there and attempt on your own. Then you will know what and how and gain confidence as you go. Just my 2 pennies worth. But these bikes are trully a labor of love. Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk

@cowpuc I'm getting same thing today I seen it yesterday so don't know what happened.... Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk

This Is from @skydoc_17 to someone else who has had his bike for over 25 yrs!!! In the beginning, I was my own worst enemy, I punished myself for not taking my time and doing a good job. As I have gotten older, I have "slowed my roll"! Now, I take my time, I take a break when I get tired, or mad, I don't skimp on the quality of parts I use, and I have found that most of the time, I fix things ONCE, without breaking anything else, and without beating myself up, and I end up with the results I was looking for. This method works really well for me, perhaps it will work well for you too. Sorry to get so "windy" in my explanation of these vital maintenance projects, but I want you to feel that you can do these jobs yourself, and if you need help, ALL of the members of this forum are here to help you! Who could ask for more than that! Earl

Happy Birthday Sir!!

The 70% rider is low on the Yamaha... I would say 85% rider and 15% mechanical.. I have heard time and time again I rarely get these bikes for parts as they are too reliable... So far my bike has been 90/10 to 98/2 first number rider second is mechanical with that just being maintenance.... But do what suits ya. Just know when this makes me cringe but I understand... Your mechanic is done you should have very solid bike for years to come. Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk
