    Is the actual outside circumference larger than the normal MT ? if so, then the bike IS going faster per same readout on the speedo.

    Bees are an important part of the ecosystem and even commercial agriculture.They seem to have increasing problems surviving the use of pesticides and interbreeding with non-native strains.

    If you click on search and enter the words "fuel filter", search brings up a previous thread: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=36419&highlight=fuel+filter

    There is 1 page on the fuel filter in the Service Manual, which I downloaded using instructions on this forum.

    Argh !!!! Sorry to see this happen. I got lucky, when my house was new I had several pines fall over in the yard after an ice storm, but they all missed my house.

    Here's a picture of the Yamaha fuel level tool. 90890-01312

    Based on what's been posted, I take it that the LED Dynamic Clusters optional Load Equalizer isn't needed on our 2nd gen machines?

    Goose, There is a possible reason for the failure of the fuel level tube not to be working as expected. I suspect that when you attached the tube to the drain, and fuel started to drain, it stopped when a partial vacuum was created in the float bowl. Air has to be able to enter the float bowl freely for the tube level to be accurate.

    Kenny, Good to hear from you again. Our prayers are with you. Hopefully you'll be home soon.

    My favorite spot is along the Buffalo River. Beautiful country.

    Thanks Kent. Ok. I'm first in line for a carb float adjust at maintenance day 2010. Whats your favorite beer? How long does it take if you supervise and I do the work?

    I wonder about this claim: Offers as much as 50x longer life (10,000 hrs vs 400 hrs) 400hrs seems like too short a lifetime for an incandescent headlight.

    Why do the clearances get tighter please? One would think that as parts wear, they would get looser. thanks in advance

    I installed a Baron's handlebar mount tach at maintenance day. Its ok, but at a slightly wierd angle. I was concerned about the long term effect of having the extra weight of the tach on top of the brake reservoir, ie possible stress on the reservoir eventually leading to a cracked unit. There are other handlebar mounts that have an extra degree of adjustment and I wish I had considered them. Oh, and thanks to v7Goose at MD for installing this for me. http://randyrick.us/motorcycles/Yamaha/2009_0609BaronsTach0003small.JPG

    Road Trip

    RandyR replied to cleanerman's topic in Watering Hole

    I've ridden 160 numerous times (I'm from MO origonally). A few parts of it are quite twisty. Its a scenic ride thru the ozarks and worth doing.

    Looks like I missed out on some (ahem) fun.... by not riding with you. Maybe could have gotten Eddie back on the road faster with the tire patch kit and pump I was carrying? That was one BIG bolt to be stuck in a tire. So, did you go in to work on Monday?
  23. RandyR
    Don thanks to you and the family for your gratious hospitality. It was a great time. Order some more of the same weather for next year.
  24. RandyR
    It was great meeting everyone. lets do it again !!

    Home safe

    RandyR replied to Dano's topic in Watering Hole

    I'll piggy back on this thread too. It was great meeting everyone at MD. Goose, thanks again for working on and training me on how to work on my new bike. I rode over to Ft. Wayne Indiana on backroads Sunday to visit with my brother and get a hot shower. Then rode home to Georgia Monday getting here at 9pm just as the sun was going down. Got caught in the mother of all 10 minute deluges crossing into TN from KY on I75. But the sun was shining in Georgia and I was dried out by the time I got here. My bike clicked the 3 and 4,000 mile mark over the extended weekend. great food and yummy cheesecake !!!!
