    I've picked up a couple of really nice complete MKII front ends off Ebay for $65 + Shipping. Total was about $90 bucks. That's everything except the calipers and wheels. Triple tree, axle, air lines.... Used one fork set to do the conversion to the R1 calipers on the '83 MKI before I sold it. The other is destined for the 83/84...

    Dang you're lucky... Mine won't run for days... Lemon Fresh Pledge and micro-towel are the only things that ever touch any of the bikes.

    Just about all the gremlins associated with the head light are the result of cold solder joints in the CMU. The '83 had the problem of an intermitant low beam, and the warning light going on and off, but it had a solid hi-beam. So, since I did so little night time riding I just left it on hi-beam which by-passes the CMU circut and adjusted the beam down. Eventually I found a nice '83 dash on Ebay and swapped them out. Problem solved...

    Same thing happen here locally. Last night a Crotch Rocket, with a 19 year old at the helm, hit another bike and died from the injuries. It was on a stretch of road that was known for a lot of MC street racing. Stupid is as stupid does....

    And.... It doesn't take a lot of fluid to get the paint too bubble up. MOF, very little. It may have happened when the mechanic was replacing the caliper. I've seen a dot the size of a period and the end of a sentence raise a spot the size of a pea. Personally I think the mech beat the cr@p out of the bag when he had it off to service the caliper. He could have set it on the ground wet with fluid. Also bumped and scrapped it while it was sitting there...ergo the scrap.. Also you keep saying the front reserve was full. What do you mean by full?? Half way up the sight glass is all it should be. Same thing for the rear reserve....

    Are you talking about the cable that comes from the AMP to the top of the tank? If so I have one off a '84 that may work... The headset female plug..the one on the tank end... is a 5-pin all on one half. I picked it up off Ebay a couple of years ago, and I don't think I'll need it. LMK.

    2" Velcro strap from the back to the front of the frame. That way you can get to the cooler quickly without having to unhook everything....

    I'd suspect the vacuum booster not giving signals to the TCI for proper timing. The '90 TCI is not like the 86-89, but digital. During the rebuild if you used a TCI from an earlier model VR, it might also be your problem. You might also have choke enrichment plungers that are not releasing all the way. When the choke linkage is all the way off the rod control yoke should 'float' freely in the groove.. These are just guesses, but it's a start...

    Ben, give us a little history of the bike. New2U?? Been around a while?? milage?? Etc.

    Ride-on only takes care of the tread area. If you get a hole in the side wall the plug will get you down the road...maybe not very fast, but at least you'll be rolling instead of pushing....

    George, I've been doing 2.25 to 2.5 turns out on everything..... When we set the '83 in Susanville we used 2.5.....

    Do a search on Ebay for 'yamaha star corbin' and see what pops up. Unless you want to buy new and have lots of

    That chem reaction looks exactly like someone spilled brake fluid on the area. At first I thought it might have been heat related, but then it would have looked like very brown toast.

    I don't want to sound calous, but hafta ask... What are they doing with the wildlife after they're cleaned up? Return them to the same area and release them to get oiled again?? And since their food supply is being whipped out, what are they feeding on if they are released???
  24. Condor
    Maybe running oil with Friction modifiers will take care of the problem.
