    Don't know, but I bet these folks can tell you. http://www.twowheelsound.com/

    Yep, in a nut shell, the relief valve in an oil pump is like a "pop off" or safety valve. It keeps the oil pressure from going over what ever the value is. So, increasing the spring is somewhat similar to putting a bigger fuse in an electrical circuit. Pressure is developed by restricting flow. It is a misconception that pumps create pressure,they do not, pumps only create flow. So when the engine is idling, the flow is low and if the engine has little resistance to that flow, there will be little if any pressure. When the engine speed increases, and the resistance in the engine stays pretty much constant, the pressure will increase, maybe up to the relief valve pressure. When it does, the relief valve opens and "dumps" the excess flow so the pressure in the system does not exceed what the engineers deemed as maximum for the engine.

    Rich, If you lower the rear, you return the bike to the original geometry. This means you lose the better low speed handling that you gained by lowering JUST the front. Also if you chose to lower the entire bike by 1-1/2" you will need to shorten or replace the kickstand with a shorter one.

    If the keyboard you are looking at has a smaller plug it is a PS2. You will need to find a "dinosaur" keyboard to have the 5-pin DIN end. If you cut the end off a keyboard, and splice, don't just assume the color coding is the same as the bike. They are NOT on my 2nd Gen. I cannot find the numbers now, but I went to Radio Shack and bought a MIDI extension cable and cut it. Splicing wires with heat shrink tubing is MUCH easier, for me, than trying to soldering the wires on those tiny, close together, pins on a plug. The MIDI cable was female on both ends, so I had to buy a MIDI (double male) connector. The colors in the MIDI cable don't line up with Yammie either, so you will have to use your Ohm meter to make you a chart of what color on the bike goes to what color in the cable.

    I say Ya done GOOD!!!! :cool10:

    Long ride huh???:stirthepot: Once you get used to that bike, you'll find that 100 miles will be a short ride... :cool10: :rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf:

    Check the connections under the passenger seat...

    As I under stand it, any authorized Yamaha dealer can check the date and transfer the warranty to you.

    Hey, the only stupid question is the one you didn't ask just before you screwed up something! Now that being said, you may get some (good natured) smart a$$ answers!!! :rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf:

    Does the TD have the same 5 year warranty as an RSV? If so depending on the "in service" date you may still be covered by the transferable original factory warranty.

    If it was THAT much over full, your air box under the fuel tank is probably "full" as well.

    And they will "need" a Snickers bar and a Mountain Dew about 30 minutes before Mom is scheduled to pick them up...... :stirthepot: :rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf:

    Just curious, but have you tried it from the passenger plug?
  18. wes0778
    Kinda like when checking out at Wally World, all the stuff that came out of one buggy BEFORE check out takes two buggies after check out....... :rotf::rotf::rotf:

    You gonna love it!!! I'm looking forward to meeting you, probably the 2nd weekend in July!!!

    As has already been said, this part is really no one's business other than the boss. Did you send a similar email to Microsoft, questioning Bill Gates' earnings, if and when you bought a copy of Windows? Don't think so! I'll sit down now......

    the 90s RSTDs and RSTCs are a completely different frame from the 2005 and up RSTDs.

    That looks like the same one I have on my '98 RSTC. I Like it! I bought the mounting bracket from a member here, but I think he is not making them any more. I had to buy the '05 RSTD quick release mounting "ears" to install it.

    The key word, or culprit is TORQUE, aka twisting force! Power to the rear wheel is a function of torque and RPM. In the lower gears the clutch is not having to overcome the "load" by transferring as much torque to the transmission, because the transmission input shaft is turning faster. As you shift into the higher gears, the engine is capable of putting out the same "power" but the rpm of the transmission input shaft is turning slower, so the torque required to turn the transmission has to increase. If for what ever reason the clutch cannot transmit this increased torque (twisting force) it will slip. To answer your question, yes it will slip in every gear if the clutch is exposed to equal torque in every gear, but to do this in say 1st gear, the back tire would probably light up, or something in the drive train might break, as a transmission is in reality a torque multiplier!
