    Yes, you must own a Yamaha to be the president Chimeing in. Only 1 person went to the last Star days. & he did'nt go to the 2007 chattanooga rally it was voted on, that the national didn't really do anything for the local clubs. they started out wih a bang, when they spoke about National, but dropped the ball, on all the chapters that made it happen. they basically prased them selfs, for doing a great job, of putting the event together. and never said Thank You, to the people for supporting the cause. they mad a big show, with the parade of motorcycle riding down the road behind the food truck. (Which, they unloaded, and gave everyone a box to strap to the bikes, for show and tell. at the end of the parade, I expected to help out hundreds of cars, loading food into there trunks..... THREE car showed up..... what a F******G waist of time:doh:

    I to was a member of star, 48 bucks for NOTHING!!!!!! We went to Star Days In Chattanoogia Tennesseein in 2007. At the awards dinner, they didn't even thank the club(s) for raising the monies, to help the charity "Feed the Children" its was all about the board members only. It was the Biggest bunch of Bull S*** I ever saw. and our chapter should up with the most riders (33 from Ft. lauderdale) and 24 bucks to ride with a group that will not leave home. they would not do anything with other clubs, no poker runs NOTHING...... 2 years was enough:doh: I saw this chapter being dragged down. I just stepped out. We will ride alone for now on.... only thing my wife got out of it were a few nice new friends.

    I have the 07, that happened to me twice, before the Fuel pump went. and Yamaha NO" about it. riding at 65 the first time, and about two weeks later at 35, we had to sit for about 20 minutes, pulled the choke, and laid on the starter, it finally kicked over. rode it home, the next morning rode it over to the shop, and had everything tested, they said the fuel pump is going. something about the pump gets hot, and shuts down. the thing is, Yamaha no's the bikes are doing this. Hence..... our 5 year warranty's I'm starting to think,they have to have a 5 year warranty, or they'd have a major law suit on their hands....

    the wife & I were on our way home from northern florida last week. we throught, the floation feeling we were getting, was from the wind, cutting across the bike, and wet roads, we were pulling the trailer. last night we went for another ride, and on the way home the bike did it again, this time without the trailer. can wind make the front end feel like its floating. weird feeling. talk to me tech. peoples, or should I be looking for something loose?

    1- How many have the loud wine from the drive line? Only when the bike slows down 2- How often is the drive line maintenance done? (grease the pins and remove the rear wheel and what ever else)Every time I change the back tire, I drop the Def oil also 3- Are there any other issues with this bike that need to be addressed as soon as the bike is picked up from the dealer? Make sure there are no metzler tire on the bike, the rear tires always seem to fail, my 1st 2 failed 4- How are the bikes for general overall maintenance? at 12, 300 miles I had the drive shaft changed out, gears were stripping at 23,000 the Fuel Pump replaced. at 34,000, I'm having the Carbs adjusted, out of sink my next bike will be a goldwing

    I don't care how old you feel, It takes time to build up to doing a 500 to 1000 mile day. in 28 years of riding, my longest day was 1076 miles, pulling this thing, one up But with the wife, our longest day was 535 & took just as long

    On windy days, most of the time coming over a bridge, I feel like the front of the bike is off the ground, like a floating feeling, scares, the S*$# out of me.

    just wondering, I also have the 07, and I'm 6'4" 260, just looking at it, does it, make your pants tighter at the groin area? harder to shift? this are real questions. as I also slid forward, on my bike
  25. Brake Pad
    Man, Kiss the center of gravity good buy. that looks like you tug it, not pull it. how much weight does it add to the back of the bike?
