I got my 6 pack and bowl of popcorn... let the slideshow begin.. Thanks Bobby. I remember a bet being placed that mechanic would take 2,000 pictures. It sounds like she was well short of that bet.

Several of us live in north Georgia, not too far from the Dragon. I'm about 14 miles from US 129 in Georgia. Be glad to ride with you some, and could show you the roads near 129 in Georgia. There's some good riding. btw. US 129 into NC was still closed as of TODAY. The detour signs on the TN side were still out as I rode back from MD on TN 68 past Tellico. I spent last night just south of Knoxville in Lenoir City as I was too hot & tired to ride the last 3 hours home on Sunday night.

The one for sale near me is a 99 R1100. http://www.blackmountaincycles.com/cyclelistings/photos/BMW170/thumb_b66550%20bmw%20r1100rt%20(1).jpg http://www.blackmountaincycles.com/ BTw. R series BMW's are the old style air-heads. The K bikes are water cooled. Origonal K bikes were either (all) 3 or 4 cylinders on the left side. There were K75(3), K1000, K1100, K1200 and k1300. The new K1200s are 4 cyl transverse accross the front.

Just rolled in to Dahlonega GA. I stopped last night in Lenoir City, TN and then had a leisurely ride home this morning accross the mountains. The heat made the ride more difficult than it needed to be. And today is just the first day od summer... Had a great time. And plan on riding to Potato creek next month.

Looks like still enough snow for a bit of late spring skiing... how's Alta?

I-95 for the fastest route if you time it to pass thru NY at 3AM Otherwise take one of the bypasses north of the city. I-287 to the Garden State Parkway, to NJ Turnpike, then pick up I-95 again just before crossing into Delaware. Toll roads.

Welcome to life in the slow lane....

My understanding is that the Morgans currently being sold are not liquid column. They have a solid metal rod in them instead of mercury.

Takes about 30 minutes. I just did mine. DOT 4. I took off the left side plate aka fake fins. held on by 3 hex heads. Makes getting at the bleeder a little easier. While a brake bleeder is nice to have, all you really need is a long piece of tubing to drain into a can. Open the bleeder as you start to squeeze the clutch lever, and close it when the lever is fully depressed. Every 5-6 squeezes, check the fluid level. Sounds like I'd clean out the reservoir before bleeding. Use a turkey baster to suck out the fluid, wipe it out clean with a towel . Then fill with fresh fluid to start the bleeding procedure. Clean the rubber expansion gasket under the cover too.

The only gotcha might be if the previous owner changed the carb jetting along with the after market pipes. Some people do that. You might ask the PO if he tweaked the carbs any? I'm thinking about going back to stock pipes on the 2000 RSV I bought 2 months ago for the same reason. too loud for me. Although it is an attention getter which might be useful at times.

way to go .....

Call Yamaha customer service and tell them this should never happen, and isn't a normal wear item, and should be covered by warranty. Or you might just want to call another dealer.

I wonder if this will become a pregnant experience in a few months ??

I'll bet that companies have to report sales figures to US Dept of Transportation. I just sent them an email asking that very question. Lets see what they say... The web page says allow 4 days for an answer.
