It was requested that I add a new award for members of the Christian Motorcycle Association. I was honored to do so and the award is now available for request.

They probably charge a one hour minimum but it takes about 10 to 15 minutes too sync the carbs. 4 hours is crazy.

I do to. Looks fantastic. Somebody did a great job on it.

Sorry, that bike has been painted. Don't know how you will find the codes.

I've heard other reports that are the same as yours. Don't wind them out to redline and just ride them normally and the heat is a non-issue. I don't have that many miles on mine so have been taking it easy. I've had no issues at all. I took about a 150 mile ride on Sunday morning. It wasn't very hot outside but several times I reached down to feel the heat on the left side (where I have heard the complaints) and compared it to the right side and just couldn't feel any difference at all. I think you may be right. Longhaul Paul has over 50,000 miles on his '18 now and reports the same thing. He said that he has actually ridden about 10 or 12 of these bikes and only one time, at a demo day, he felt excessive heat. He talked to the Yamaha who told him he was riding it wrong and shouldn't wind it out like he was. He tried it that way and had no heat issues. It may be a learning curve for those of us coming off the V4 which loved the higher RPMS. After owning a Harley for a couple of years, it was an easy transition for me.

HUH???? That went over my head. That is the correct size. 1024 x 768. Maximum file size 200,000 bytes.

1024 X 768, 200,000 bytes.

I would absolutely put them back in. Run them for many many more miles.

I put the 2 1/2" ROX risers on my SCTC and then are pretty much perfect now.

I don't blame you at all for being upset. If that is indeed all it was, the dealer should have found it. Sad state of affairs when a customer can find a problem that the dealer gives up on. I hope that is all it was, and it sounds likely, and you can now enjoy the bike.

You did good. I assume that is approximately what I paid for mine. Was very pleased with the deal. Hope it brings you miles of smiles.

Very nice. You did good my friend. Beautiful bike.

They are 1". Just looked up my order to be sure.

That is exactly right. The '99 antennas were bad. They were upgraded with the 2000 model. Easy to swap them for Firestiks or something else though. The problem was that they would get slightly loose on the post and could actually be pulled off. That wasn't good but the main issue it caused was was corrosion between the post and the antenna and caused bad reception if any reception at all. Yamaha came out with a kit to reinforce the trunk. You need to pull the rubber pad up in the trunk to find out if it has been installed. Basically it's just a some large washers that help distribute the weight and a thick rubber pad that goes under the trunk, at the very rear, between the chrome trunk support and the bottom of the trunk. I don't know if they kits are still available or not but should be pretty easy to make one. The main thing is to make sure the trunk bottom isn't already cracked.

Sorry to hear this. You are in our prayers my friend. Hang in there. We have a lot more meets to do.

Got it.

Glad you are OK but sorry about it messing up your plans. I hope they get you back on the road soon.

I do have power out there. It gets a little hot this time of the year but I still find some time to sit out there. Love it in the spring and especially in the fall. I'm planning to install a ceiling fan in the Gazebo here pretty soon.

Yea, you did good.

If it's as nice as it looks, might be a decent deal for somebody. https://cleveland.craigslist.org/mcy/d/berea-great-yamaha-sport-cruiser/6918698068.html

Last 4 digits of the serial number need to be after 1413.

That's been my experience as well and I think the width had more to do with it than the height. My stock height is fine. I can look over it when all the way down and through it when all the way up. The extra width is what I'm waiting for.

The 15w/50 doesn't show to be JASO rated either. Probably not important other than the fact that JASO is specified. I Will continue using what I've using to protect my warranty.

I wish you luck but I doubt it is going to be any better. I would recommend that everybody wait just a bit. I've contacted Clearview and they are making a windshield for our bike. I don't want a shorter one, but a wider one. That seems to be what helps the most.

Yea, they have come down. I got a great price even when I bought mine though. I'm not complaining. I paid less than most are asking now.
