Looking for an aftermarket seat for my MM edition if anyone has one they want to sell. Thanks Rick

I promise I'll get something done about him before the rally.

Here are a couple of pictures of #19 campsite and of the mens and womens bath house

I have been dealing with the same issue on mine for a couple of weeks so I am also relocating the main fuse. Stupid place to put it.

Jay.here is what he is looking for http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-Other-1988-YAMAHA-VENTURE-TRIKE-TRAILER-COMBO-very-very-nice-/161047054058?pt=US_motorcycles&vxp=mtr#ht_2184wt_1165

Mine has done the same thing a couple of times over the last 3 weeks. I removed the starter relay and cleaned everything in the fuse box and then used plastic ties to hold the relay in place and I haven't had any issues for about a 1,000 miles. The main fuse was all gummy and such so I used steel wool and cleaned it up and also cleaned up the connections in the fuse box and so far so good. I also found a wire going into the left passing light that was worn through the insulation and I fixed that. Thought maybe it was grounding out and drawing down the battery. I ride a MM Also so good luck on fixing it. I also wondered if maybe the starter was going bad and drawing down the battery.

Don't let the stealer get your money, I have 92,000 miles on mine and the front wheel bearings are oem, swing bearings are oem, i did have to replace a rear wheel bearing at 65,000 or so and that made it feel squirly in the corners before I replaced it. raise the bike and stick a rod in the wheel and see if it moves. I vote tire pressure or worn tires or or maybe even old tires

I can see Big Tom in the window:stickpoke:

idiots

That is enough questions

Dag Gummit, I didn't look at what you were riding. And now I know why you get better mileage The first gens have so much plastic they don't weigh anything:stickpoke:

Those getting 45+ MPG do you take into consideration your speedometer is off by 10%. I saw one post that said he was getting 38-40 2 up pulling a traileron the interstate. WOW that's what I get 1 up driving 60 mph on 2 lanes. 2 up pulling a trailer at 75 on the interstate I get 32 if I am lucky

Just wanted to remind everyone when they send money for the rally via paypal PLEASE PLEASE do not put down any reason please just use one word only and that would be "Galena" I will know what it is for. When you say it is for the rally or put in any details they charge $4.40 when I accept the money. Also for our dear friends from the north Please make sure you send funds in US currency because when paypal converts it it is less money. Also make sure you mark it as a gift. Thank you
