    The Mather kinda throws me... We have a Mather up here near Rancho Cordova, but it's not anywhere near Yosemite. If you're comeing out of Glendale there are a bunch of back roads starting with Hwy65 north of Bakersfield toward Porterville. Then it's a matter of picking your way north on the back roads, or if you're in a hurry take Hwy41 out of Fresno. GLENDALETOYOSEMITE

    I'd adjust the peg lower. On a 1stGen with your feet placed back, the toe will naturally point down, and make it very uncomfortable trying to shift up through the gears with a high peg, and short stroke a shift.. You should be able to rotate your arch on the foot peg and shift. If you have to lift your foot off the foot peg it's way to high. Put the bike on the center stand and sit in the saddle with your foot comfortably on the foot peg. Take note where the shift peg is sitting and adjust it down to where it sits about 1/4"-1/2" above your boot top. I bet you won't be short stroking the shift any longer...

    Before heaving it Jeff, I think I gotta try to see if it'll work. I'm already in this thing more than I care to admit, and blown a big hole in my shopping Ego... Needing another drive isn't the problem, I actually have another RSV and V-Max final sitting on the shelf plus the one on the bike. So my final cup runneth over... If nothing else I'll learn a lot about finals.

    It's gonna be a gamble, but what other option do I have?? Best case it'll be fine, and worse case I'll have a modified V-Max housing I can stuff the other set of V-Max gears in.... and learn all about backlash...

    Thanks for you input Squeeze. Since the ring gear is OK, and Lynn didn't mention finding any metal slag in the residual lube, I guess I'll give it a shot. Cody's on the horizon, but I should have enough local rides to test it. I'm wondering if I could get by with using a good synthetic lube instead of the YAMAHA lube?? Or is the Y lube now synthetic??

    Under the air box are the carburtors... Never heard of a fuel pump in that area. Does it have a V-Max engine??? Maybe a previous owner jury rigged something in there?? We need to see what you're looking at....

    OK I sent my V-Max final I just bought to Pegscraper to have the speed sensor hole installed for the RSV. It was reported to be off a '98 with 16000 miles on it. When he took it apart he found the pinion gear that showed galling on the faces. I've dealt with galling before but not in a situation like this. It almost looks like a bad gear casting. Generally the gall is shiney, gouged and flaky looking. Attached are some pics of what he found. These are the worse, but they are all show signs. The ring gear has none and looks good. I'm at a loss as to what to do. Has anyone here... Squeeze?? seen this before, and is the pinion still usable?? Should I take the chance?? I could salvage a pinion out of another final, but will it work without having to deal with backlash etc.?? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    I have a set of something similar mounted on the '91 with the standard type 'squidley' mount, although they are tungston, and have a high/low beam. They work pretty good.

    The intire right side dash will have to be removed to get to the speaker. Disconnect the wire leads by going through the right turn signal opening. Any quality 4" speaker will do. Lots of opinions as to the best ones, but a good brand will work fine.... Water proof would be a plus...

    Gotta go check that... I remember reading something about this a few years ago, but since I didn't own a 2ndGen at the time, it went in one ear and out the other....

    When I replace an ignition switch I always replace the hex heads with cap screws. Way easier to get them up though all that wiring on the end of a hex socket...
