    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...

    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....

    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???
  15. Condor
    Maybe running oil with Friction modifiers will take care of the problem.

    Yeah, my wife is an AF Brat. Goose Bay USAF, Labrador. Great bunch of... Ahem... Kids... http://www.goosebrat.net/ Reunions are always a blast....

    That's my thought too. Diaphragms. If they are 'holy' they won't be pulling the needle out of the jet far enough to get fuel at higher RPM's. The engine will idle and run smooth, but not have any response when rolling on the throttle....

    Anti Virus

    Condor replied to Squidley's topic in Watering Hole

    With all these virus/firewalls mentioined I'm surprised that nobody runs TREND. About 15 years ago while runing unprotected I picked up a virus that locked me off the machine. Out of shear luck I back doored the block by doing a HD search, and double clicking on the last file downloaded.... it happened to be a URL that got me back on the web. Once on there was no way I was going to get off. I found Trend's free housecall and ran it. Found not only the one virus, but another 'timebomb' to go off at a later date. Trend found them and gave instructions on how to get rid of them. Nowdays they just squash them. They let me download a 30 day trial, which I did, and then bought the program for about 30 bucks, and they maintained it for 7-8 years free. It was a heck of a deal. Now I'm paying $40 bucks a year for the full Monty, and worth every penny. I guess what it comes down to is you get what you pay for. Don't expect the latest and greatest in a free-be......

    Don (Freebird) used to build center stands for a while, but has ceased production. Now Dave (Ponch) is working on building a new one for my '99. You might contact him to see if he'd like to make another?? You'll need to pick up a 1stGen center stand off Ebay, and Ponch will make the mounting bracket.

    OK... Listen closely.. Go take the wrench and put it in the dumpster....

    Same thing here. I always ran my 1stGens on reserve and tanked up a 150miles. The first trip on the '99.... I didn't know where anything was... the countup tripped, and when it hit 7miles I was nursing a doggy bike on the apron of the freeway. I assumed the thing was turned to reserve.... Nursed and coaxed it a half mile to the next exit and into a gas station. First thing I did when I got back to the barn is find and check that dang reserve pitcock... It was off reserve. Doh!!! It's now set where it should be... on reserve 24/7/365.25.... PS: What ever happened to good old Yankee ingenuity? When it gets to 150miles on the odo, stop and get fuel... If you've only traveled 75 miles and have a long stretch of road ahead, stop and top it off. I guess I just have a hard time dealing with a rider who want to take it to fumes before looking for a station. Believe me when I say you're not going to run out of fuel before 150. If you do you have bigger problems than dealing with a reserve switch...
