If you do not want Blue tooth or satelite radio pick up the Zumo 450. It is cheaper. Brad

Swifty said he left you way behind, and even went as far as saying, any 2nd gen could keep up with your first gen. No that is the nice Beautiful Canadian Skies, you know no smog, pollution and crap. BRad

You got that right Don, Second to the Purple. We are happy to hear this news and all the best. Actually that Black Cherry is the best colour they made. Brad

Shoveled twice today and when we got home there was at least 8" of snow in the driveway. We must have got 12" of snow here. Think it is over now but what a mess. BRad

Your Memory is getting worse every year. The ride was not held up and Swifty made it on time. With a slight technical difficulty with my key thingy, and a Harley repair the 2nd gen did make the ride just a little later than the rest of you. Brad- 41 replies

Yamaha passing/driving lights screws don't fit
BradT replied to dharnie's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
If you took the screws of the bike, would they not be Metric. ? I do know it was a pain to put those screws in. They are on a funny angle, and the threads and the bolt did not seem like a nice fit. Brad -
So it would not be nice to kick you while your down Hope all is well, and tomorrow is another day. Brad PS I highly doubt I would try it, but I read the article with the guy who had over 100 thousand miles, on car tires. I doubt he is just lucky.

To re-torque the heads you have to remove the cam shafts anyway, as I believe the head bolts are under the cams (at least on a first gen) The only difference is that to change the gasket you have to pull the motor. They could tighten the head bolts while the motor is in the bike. But it makes it a lot harder to work on. I think it would be much safer and easier to do while the engine is on a bench. I would prefer a mechanic to do this job when the engine is out of the bike. So insisting on the gasket may be less of a chance of damaging those critical parts, or your paint. Brad

Hey Buddy can you "FIXIT" for him ?? (pun intended) Brad

Carl If you had holes in the head to drain it would end up in the cylinders. See picture below. I know you have the answer but that hole where the chain comes through, is a pretty large hole to miss . Brad- 41 replies

Did you mean "Rubber Ducky" Brad

Agree with SaltyDawg, both are quality products and you will not go wrong, with either choice. Slightly different mounting but both are quite easy to install. Brad

Charlie, here is what the snow looks like around here. Do you think it will thaw out by the time the International Ride starts First Picture is my Neighbors house, makes me laugh as he only cleans it out wide enough to get his car through. Brad

If you use the round end of the ball pean hammer on the end of the CV Shaft then hit it with another hammer works well too. This way you can see it move or not move. Brad
