    Just a thought, but have you run a can of Sea Foam thru it lately?? You might have gotten a bad tank of gas and the idle jets may be clogged??? Also fuel filter?? Plugs??

    Oooop's I opened the chat room.....

    Put your mail box on a seperate post and maintain it. Let the PO discontinue service to the other 3 for not maintaining theirs.....

    Not absolutely sure, but isn't the bottom configuration different between the '87 and the '85 trunk...??

    Sounds like you might have tightened down on the pivot bolt a little too much when putting the heel/toe back on. If the heel gets short stroked and return fully it will not allow you to shift up to the next gear. I had that problem, only it was because of my big feet. I'd have to consciously raise my foot for the heel to work again. I cured the problem by going to a toe/toe shift lever.....

    Sounds like the basket. My '99, although I didn't buy it new, used dino oil all it's life.. 47,000 mi..... and it doesn't whine. It does have a slight singing sound like my '83 1stGen, but nothing obnoxious. I'm wondering if perhaps using a 20-50 dino like GTX might quite things down. I also found that Valvoline MC wet clutch 20-50 really quited things down when I first bought the '83. MOF I couldn't believe new oil could make that much difference. So if you're using a synthetic you might try going to dino. It can't hurt...

    For some reason that I can't explain I have been asked to delete the pic originally posted, and remove it from my family file. Sorry. Still proud of him...

    Probably should have done that, but the member was outnumbered and didn't think of it. Maybe next time....

    Nope... didn't. Maybe I should of, but it's too late now. They're gone..gone..gone.... If this thing acts the way it's been discribed in this thread there's a good chance others have also received the virus email, and perhaps they will send a note. Then again they might not have been infected email at all, and notifying the sender would have set off unnecessary alarms, or... send my email to a fishing POP. I don't need that.... Like I said they looked fishy and not important. Because my business is .com, my email address is available all over the web. I don't need to confirm it with a warning response. Or open that bogus looking imbedded link that the email had..... If the email was important, they'll send it again.....

    I down loaded email this morning and received about 4 from different sources that just looked 'fishy'. One from a board member. Killed them all...... arghhh!!!!

    As long as the basics are covered you should have any problem, i.e. fresh tires and fluids. In '07 I rode my '83VR from Sacramento to Ft Collins Co. and back via Idaho, and she didn't miss a beat. Ended up putting 3,000+ miles on the odo. The first legs were mostly in a group, but the last day from Shoshone ID to the barn was solo, 10 hours in the saddle, 600 miles, and it was a piece of cake.

    Yep, I lucked out and picked up a new set of K&N's off Ebay for $50 bucks. Haven't seen anything that low since.... Most run arond $90, and with shipping will cost a 'C' note....

    I didn't look real close, but I wonder what makes it a mechanics special???

    I agree, but here ya go... read 'm and weep.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-Royal-Star-Venture-Yamaha-Billet-Air-Cleaner-Covers-/400192789073

    I didn't find them listed on the Y site, but I think the MSRP retail was $459. So, yeah about a third of new. But.... probably half that of a discounter. I don't know why they chromed them in the first place. Polished aluminum looks just as good and is easier to maintain.

    Crush washer??

    Picked up a set of covers off Ebay that weren't in the greatest shape. Had the chrome stripped off and professionally polished for $50 bucks, so I'm in them right around $150 total. Lot better price that buying a new set. Whacha think?
  20. Condor
    Sounds like all you'll need is some new discs and a spring.... Let us know what the old discs mic out at when you have the time.

    Check your last oil change to make sure the oil didn't have friction modifiers in it. Also check your expansion hole in the bottom of your reserve. It may be plugged?? Also when's the last time you bled the clutch??

    There's a set of floorboards in the classifieds....

    Ain't that the truth.... :rotf:

    S'posed to possibily snow in Sacramento tonight. So were doing our part trying to give a little relief.
  25. Condor
    Afraid of that. Think I'll pass. This thread did produce some great suggestions. When I needed one I couldn't find anything, and no one had any suggestions outside of the 1/2" bolt trick, so I ended up buying a 17mm hex wrench from Sears and cutting 2" off the end, and welding it into an old beater socket. Looks ugly, but worked great. Wish I knew what I did with it after the fork job was done....
