I changed my pilot to 17.5 because it stopped the backfirng in between shifting gears. I'm running the nasty boy pipes and its running wide open and K&N filters. It also helps with the start up in the morning. You don't have to use the choke as much. Carbon 1 has quite a bit of experience with the jets. He changed the main jets two up inside on every jet and didn't really like the results of that. So he went back to the regular jets for the main and left the 17.5 for the pilots. He is happy with that and so am I. The pop is gone. Gas mileage is about the same. Thats why I changed. The Yamaga dealer has those jets for under $10.00. Good Luck, Hal

I appreciate the offer but right now the warranty is going to take care of it. I hear though that the Stator will most likly go out now. But they won't place under warranty right now becuase it is not bad at the moment. Thanks Man, Hal

Thanks for clairfying this. All in all my bike braking down wasn't all bad. Because I learned a lot about it. Yeah it does suck that it's 7 days from getting the parts. But two bolts and plug it in, hopefully it shouldn't be to much longer after that. Just for grins I am going to call the other Yamaha Dealership in town and see if they have the rectifier. Thanks for all of the help I appreciate it. Hal

Yahma looked @ my bike today and they found out tonight that the rectifier is bad. The parts won't be here for 7 days. Is the rectifier the same as a voltage regulator? The 7 days will be the longest days it has sat without me riding it since I bought it in 09. I ride her everyday. Hal

Thanks for sharing this Condor. Hal

Hi Dave, Hope you and Jamie are doing better. No Dave my problem is totaly different than yours I believe. Yours would discharge the battery while sitting there. Mine goes dead while it is driving and is fine when it just sits there. But, anyway I took it to Yamaha @ 10 this morning and it sat there all day. I went to check on it tonight and it was still in the same spot. This does not surprise me though. Anyway they said they were going to check on it tomorrow. We will see. I bet I will be without a bike for at least 2wks, thats my opion anyway. Hal

I really don't think there is a problem with this site, after all we are all trying to help each other it and whatever it takes it should be allowed. Thanks again, but I give up I am taking her to Yamaha in the morning as she is still under warranty. I appreciate everyones help that has posted to my thread. Hal

I don't see just a DC on my volt meter, so I checked it with OHM meter at 200 and they all read 005. I don't know what this means. Thanks, Hal
-
Ok guys I found the 3 stator wires and the other 2 wires. How do I check the stator with the volt meter. Running or not running? Let me know please. Thanks, Hal
-
I don't know where the voltage regulator is at. Thanks, Hal

I don't know where the voltage regulator is at. Please advise. Thanks, Hal

Nice looking bike Congratulations!! Tell me that you already took the tie down straps off of the bike already. If not good driving! Hal

Took off left side cover where fuse box is located and there is 3 wires and a 2 wires that is a visiable plug in. I put the dielectric grease on those plugs. Then if you take off the passengers running board there is another cover where there is a 4 plug in and I greased that too. There is also 2 bolted on cables I imagine they are coming from the stater to the battery. One side has juice and the other doesn't have any when running. I don't know if I am in the right place where the 5 wire plug in is at because I do not see 5 wires. Which side of the bike is the stater located at? Thanks again, Hal
-
I just got in from checking it with a digital volt meter. I have nothing coming out. It is actually showing a discharge. I do I have a spark when I hook up the cables to the battery, but I think this is due to the memory on the radio and the clock. Do you still think that it could be those 3 wires that you talked about? Hal

Wally World. says battery good Hal

Yes everything is clean and tight. As for these wires to be checked where are they located at? When you are saying left side of the bike is that your left as you are sitting on the bike? I do get a hire voltage when I rev up the motor, but I don't remember what the voltage was as I don't own a voltage meter. I borrowed one when I checked it at 13, and the 13 voltage was at a non running voltage. Thanks, Hal

Two weeks ago my 09 VSR stopped running as battery was dead, and Kreggerdoodle came and saved my wife and I. The battery was original so, it was about 3 years old. So I bought a new battery from Wally World. The bike has been working fine and seemed to be running well and I have been checking with a volt meter so seemed to be charged, because the battery was @ 13 volts. My wife and I went from Katy to Lexington, TX, yesterday about 100 miles and as we got there the battery died on us again. We made it where we needed to be, after being stranded on the road for a short time. A very nice woman gave us a ride to where our friends were @ a bar b q cook off. My buddy took me to the bike where we jumped it and I brought it over to where they were at and I charged the battery for about 4 or 5 hours on a trickle charger. We started going home and made it about 60 miles and shed died on us again. Had to call AAA and had her towed home. So my question to everyone is: Does anyone have any suggestions as to what can be draining the battery or why it won't hold a charge, or not charging. The bike is still under warranty but I am reluctant to take it to the dealer as I like to fix things myself if possible. I would really appeciate any input I can get. Thanks, Hal

A few Prayers please
Santa Hal replied to Yammer Dan's topic in Inspirational, Motivational, Prayer Requests, Etc.
First off I would like to say that me and wifes prayers are sent your way. Also I would like to tell you that my sister was in the hospital and caught a very bad infection that goes around in hospitals and nursing homes that is very much what you have described. It affects the blood and stomach. Have her blood checked out to see if she has C diff. I am not a doctor and I don't know if this is it but, it surly couldn't hurt. Let me know if this is it and I will tell you how they cured it. Again our prayers are with you, Hal n Val:fingers-crossed-emo -
Dave aka Zipcode is from sugar land, tx. Our prayers and thoughts are with you both. We have been in contact with the doodles getting updates. Take Care Godspeed and if you and Jamie need a ride home Dave, I live in Katy, and will be more than happy to come and get you anytime. Just let me know. You can call Kreg for my number. Hal n Val
