    I think I remember seeing a 1st'er do that buy swapping out the mirrors. Looked pretty good..... if I remember correctly....

    I always wear a helmet when riding, but I also think it should be optional in every state. I also think that a rider should be required to declare his intensions to excerise his right to not wear when applying for insurance coverage... Then the premium can be adjusted accordingly. If he declares that he will be wearing to save on the premium, and then gets into an accident while not wearing, his policy is null and void and the insurance company is only obligated to return all the premiums paid. All liability and medical costs are then the responsibility of the helmetless rider.

    The first digit/letters of a part number designate what model year the part originally appeared or subsequently been modified in anyway... Even color... The last series of numbers are the actual part number and will work with any previous year. If they had modified it where it wouldn't be compatable they would have assigned a new part number.

    Like Bob says it's an easy fix doing a re-bush. But Bob's not next door and another machinest might not be as understanding...?? I'd find another stator cover on Ebay, or?? and replace it. Keep it lubed and it shouldn't go oblong on you again....

    I've never seen cast aluminum 'warp'. Crack...yes, but not warp. Pull the filter cover off and look to see exactely you're dealing with. It might be nothing more than a cracked cover?? The spin-on adaptor is a good idea....

    I'm also #350 and run my rear shock at #72psi, and the front at #17psi. The only year Y made the rotating choke was '84. '83&'85-'93 all had the slider. If I remember correctly I felt an indent when setting the choke on my '84 but it's raining and I'm not going to go find out... . The choke's not worn out, but somewhere in the linkage it may be loose and need to be tightened up....

    You bring up a good point Jeff..... Maybe this will help a little more on the properties of Delrin. I'd be interested in what temp. readings you come up with off your bike. Thermal Heat Deflection Temperature @ 66 psi D648 °F 336 Heat Deflection Temperature @ 264 psi D648 °F 257 Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion D696 in/in/°F 6.8 x 10^-5 Maximum Servicing Temperature, Intermittent °F 300 Maximum Servicing Temperature, Long Term UL746B °F 185 Specific Heat BTU/lb-°F 0.35 Thermal Conductivity – Melting Point D2133 °F 347 Flammability UL94 HB (1.47)

    Glad to hear you made it out alive......

    Yeah, I guess I need to do a little more eyeballin' to see what it'll take and go from there. There may not be an easy way to do it, and I don't really want to get into a big project. It would just end up on a pile with the rest of them..... Especialy since the '99 is more of a priority than the '91....

    If I remember correctly the MAC's have a welded on header extensiion, and from the pics I've seen the Jardines don't look like there's a weld between the body and the header extension.. Maybe??

    Trailer Ball

    Condor replied to Condor's topic in Trailer Talk

    It's very easy to forget it's there on a long piece of slab.... Try not to...

    What would happen if we only replaced the easy2get2 motormounts??? Would there be any improvement in handling, or a waste of time??? Say a set of 4 delrins. 2 fronts and the 2 in the middle??

    Trailer Ball

    Condor replied to Condor's topic in Trailer Talk

    It lays over a bit but it doesn't effect the towing, and I don't feel a thing when running the twisties.... I think you'd have the same situation with a coupler not staying horizontal after running thru a few curves even though the ball is upright.

    This may be what you're looking for Bob....

    Which warning light.....???

    I've only sat threw one of these 'grinder' presentations down in Puerta Vallarta MX. We had a free afternoon and didn't have anything better to do. We had no intention of buying a time share, but it was intertaining, and the rewards were pretty good. Free 'all-u-can-eat' poolside gormet breakfast, and half off any tour the resort offered. So when they finally gave up on us I signed up for the most expensive tour they had. $55 bucks for an all day catamarin dive/cruise, complementry horses duvers, drinks, and swim/lunch at Chi's Chi's a cliff hanging resturant. So I felt we came out the winners. Would I do it again? You bet if the rewards are good enough.... Would I ever buy a time share? He!! no.....

    Dyna Blues

    Condor replied to MikeWa's topic in Watering Hole

    I think the 4 is for the 96-97 Royal Star, and the 5 is for the Venture... The pic below shows for 99-2000 as it's an old doc I ripped off Ebay.... http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Yamaha-Royal-Star-Venture-1300-DYNATEK-DYNA-3000-Digital-Performance-Ignition-/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/$(KGrHqJHJCQE9qvQ6vpoBPgO9HikEw~~60_58.JPG

    Delrin is pretty tough stuff. Harken a marine equipment manufacture uses Delrin ball bearings in their blocks, and some of them are rated up to 5000lbs. You should get the same effect as those made out of aluminum, and galvanic corrosion might not be an issue...

    Isn't it amazing how much bigger they get when laying on their side????

    Clutch Cover

    Condor replied to Stanman's topic in Watering Hole

    The only way to properly fix that side cover is replace it. Weld it and it'll most likely warp and leak. Patch it and eventually the patch will let loose. Clutch covers turn up on Ebay throughout the riding season, and don't bring a whole lot of money because there isn't a big demand for them.... Just be patient... I'd patch for now and plan on doing the replacement ASAP....
