    I know for some of you this has been a long time coming, and it's way past due, but better late than never. So for all those 1stGen members who want to sound great as well as look great, here's your chance. Right now we're putting together a list. Details will be posted later. The cost will be $225 including shipping to your door in the US and $235 for Canada. The mufflers will need to be built, so the sooner we get them ordered, the better. It will take a while to get them thru production. Send me a PM if you'd like to hop aboard. Once we get 10 I'll start working on collecting the money and placing the order. The MAC's are being built to order, so it'll take a while before I can ship. The quicker we get 10...or more?? The sooner we can get the ball rolling. LIST CLOSED 1. Saddle_Bag.... Paid 2.

    I've always been a bit confused as to how to figure out the model year from the 1stGens VIN number. I've read all about it, but it didn't make sense. For all those that are in the dark like me, here it is. The last 6 digits are the serial number. The 2 letters before them designate the year. Actually you could drop the 'A' and still be in the know.... DA= 83 EA= 84 FA= 85 GA= 86 HA= 87 I.... skipped. Looks too much like a one JA= 88 KA= 89 LA= 90 MA= 91 NA= 92 O.... skipped. Looks too much like a zero PA= 93

    I think it's the 30mm that I used. Glad to know the magnet worked..... I'll try it the next time around... Remember when you go to put the rods and ball back in, the rods have one end that is slightly flattened. That end goes against the ball.....

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

    What I imagine is the boss sitting in the clutch housing with everything else removed. Is the transmission in neutral? If it is, put it into first and see if the boss still moves. If it does, you'll need to pull the boss and inspect the drive and driven gears on the backside for wear. Hope this helps.

    I just ran shipping and it did run more than expected, but still less, and...... Parcel post was only $27 bucks. For $50 bucks I could wait.... The point I'm trying to make here, without wallowing around in comparisons, is that $85 to ship a 3 pound fairing across the country is way too much.

    Hard to believe that a guitar woiuld cost $90 bucks shipped to the midwest from Sacramento. I ship 25-35 pound sails from here to the east coast for around $65 bucks. I don't think insurance cost is an issue. Some of these sails run $1500-$1800.
  14. Condor
    And mine's showing $80.35 Way more than it should... There are two links. The editor put them together when I posted. Maybe you're looking at the fairing that's bid up to $195...

    I think posting these out of wack Ebay auctions just demonstrate how ignorant a few Ebay buyers and sellers actually are. FAIRING SHIPPING

    I usually get the long rod and the ball out when the slave is removed, but.... I've been thinking.... they make a narrow tipped magnetic nut retreiver about the size of an eraser head that should work at getting the ball and long rod out from basket side. The rod and ball are steel and the engine casing is non-magnetic aluminum. I've never tried it yet, but fishing it out with the retreiver might work.??? On the rotation issue, we could use a little more info. Is everything buttoned up and ready to go or is the pressure plate still off??? Or???

    Firebirdames just pulled his bike out of the microwave defrost cycle up in Calgary, and found that he already has a brace on it, :doh:so... if someone else would like to pick up the one he ordered he'd be very greatfull. Anybody??? My hands are tied as the braces are back from the anodizer and ready to be shipped, and I just fired off the payment this morning.

    To answer your last question, no they're not the same.....but they will interchange. The earlier models have a narrower passenger seat. The later models have a passenger flair that almost matches the configuration of the riders. I don't see why a good apholstery shop would'nt have a type of foam that would bring your present seat up to something you could live with. I think they just don't want to get involved. Most of the seats I've seen on Ebay lately are a mess and would need to be repaired or recovered. I picked up two seats in mint condition off Ebay for around $65 bucks. Be patient and keep looking.

    When it comes to finding an Odyssey, your guess is as good as mine.There was a posts in this thread where someone found a place that had a number of them in stock. And I posted a website that carried a sellection of AGM's that would work in the Venture. http://www.ebatteriestogo.com/landing_pages/powersport/YTX24HL-BS.htm Supply is one of the reasons I decided to close the group buy down.

    The last time I got into the phragms was 2 years ago before VWIII. They were perfect then. I don't think they would have gone bad since then, but I'll check. I think there's a smaller diaphragm that keeps the r's from dropping too quickly and prevents backfiring?? Although I'm not getting the back fire I wonder if one or two of those could be bad?????
  22. Condor
    Because of all the hastles with the Odyssey I've made an administrative descision to cancel the group buy. All who have sent in their paypal will be getting their refunds shortly. Group Buy CANCELED.............

    Lately I've been noticing sort of a glitch in the throttle when slowly cruising in low gears... 1st or 2nd..., without a load on the motor. The throttle is either on or off, and it makes it kinda tuff to maintain a steady speed. As long as I keep a load on the motor in say 3rd or 4th it responds fine, except the R's are way down. When in the lower gears if I let off on the throttle just a bit it's like I've rolled it completely off. It's getting herky jerky in street traffic.... The bike idles fine, and excellerates fine, and seems to have plenty of power, but the H&J is getting to be anoying. Out on the highway it seems to work fine at say 4200 in 5th. I also noticed a big drop in my fuel milage. Got 50+ during the ride to VWIII, but 38mpg to Fort Collins and up to now.. Any thoughts????

    I seriously doubt if Ride-On caused any damage to the valve stem seat surface. Otherwise we'd have a lot of distroyed wheels on our hands. The pit may have been there all along and if the stem were tightened properly, when the tire was installed, it wouldn't have leaked. These rims are a casting and occasionally tiny bubbles... sounds like a song... are formed when the wheel is poured. The pit may have been one of those air pockets that made it through inspection.

    Everyone seems to have decided to call this thing a breather, but after looking at the pics, it looks to be more of Yamaha's attempt at an oil cooler/heat exchanger of some sort. Either to warm the oil up during cold riding, or bringing the oil temp down when engine oil gets hot. More of an equalizer. It just don't breath.....
