There are marks on the crank thru that tiny window. Page 3-10 of service manual. If you dont have one you can download a copy.

Well there may have been a change in manufactures of pumps, but the same pn fits all second gen. I installed a Mr Gasket and didnt put any kind of additional valves or anything. The fasuet or whatever the name is of aircraft rated pump has a check valve or something in there. But I know several folks using the Mr Gasket pump and no issues. I dont shut the petcock off either.

Thanks fellows. Maybe can figure a way to work around having to buy thru Yamaha.

I would look at fuel pump first probably. Mine was kind of like that. Most times I would have problems was when gas ran out and I swapped to reserve. Almost acted like pump would get hot when it ran out and had no fuel trying to pick up from reserve. Bike would sit a few minutes, pump cool and away I would go and may not have problems for weeks or longer. I swapped to the Mr Gasket m 42 I think it is. Ther is a write up in the 2nd gen tech section.

Well all I did was a quick GOOGLE of Indian chief or something. In the writing it had the price. Chances are I didn't see the actual price of one of them, because I quite honestly thought they were way over $25-28k So that is my mistake I'm sure. Sorry if anyone got excited about the price. LOL

Just not appealing to me. I dont like the tan seat, the frilly thingies I usually see hanging off them. The studded seats are not my style, the wheel pants, and the multi color trunk. If the guys paying $19k for them like them, rock on. I guess they just have to grow on you. I like the Vision and it had to grow on me, but I don't own one as they are out of any price range I have right now. I will say this from the fellows I have met that have them. They ride really nice and run smooth. But nobody I see owning one is under 50 either, so maybe Indian is eventual going to loose their market here as that age group dwindles.

Can you tell me what the model number or manufactures number is on your i-pod simple thingy. Trying to see if a fellow could source one without going thru Yammay

A long time ago like 93 or 94 I bought a 90 f 150 with straight 6 300cid. It had 90k on it. The fellow was a construction engineer and traveld around southwest Oklahoma . You could tell all highway miles mostly and well taken care of. Dip stick clean, trans fluid no smell and red not rust brown looking. I put almost 100k on it befor I sold it and it still ran great except a/c.

Might be a bit of a tripPull Behind Trailer but...

My wife would vote for the apple barn. But a bit far for us to make it this weekend.

Me personally would stay away from high milage 4wd. I dont need it, its more drive train junk to weqr and tear. Transfer case, chains in it, extra differental an axles etc. Plus take more fuel to run all that stuff. At the agew vs milage on the V6 I to would say its highway miles. So why did the guy buy 4wd? Does he plow parking lots on the side? You might ask what maintenance has been performed.

Hmm now it makes sense on how gas got down to $2 bucks a gallon. The cut it down with water.

So how is the light off them?

Hmm seems to be you got taken. I just checked a couple sites and the rate is 1.25 can to 1 usd.

SO hows the lights work? Have you had a chance to try them out? I finally got off the stick and cash to buy some additional "driving" lights. Small little frog eye looking jobs off e-bay. They are supposed to have a low beam, high beam and some sort of flashing/avoidance setting. Dont know if this is something I want to make work or not. I use to have the headlight set up with a modulator which is legal in all 50 states. But really leery of making these light flash in daytime as I think the lawman will not like it. I did see a HD Ultra last week that ha the modulator connected to both passing lights. I think you would get in trouble for that if they want to push the issue. I think I am going to mount these on the crash bars by my highway pegs. If that don't pan out I may put them on the forks about fender mount height.

I was wondering why all of a sudden I was getting 4-5 e-mails a day someone was quoting me. I'm not that smart of a fellow.. I'll let it ride here for a couple days and see if it drops off.

I did my 900 Vulcan and needed one shim. (they are different size than the ones we need) But I called a local indipendant shope and he had what I needed. Cost me like 3-4 bucks. Sometimes you can trade them. These shims are used on a lot of bikes from Honda to Suzuki, Yamaha. Mostly older designed motors I think.

Nitro Funny cars same thing. same chasissis, diffrent bodies. All Hemi powered. They made pretty big stink about John Force moving over to Chevy. LOL Same cars he had last year, different bodies.

I broke a little bugger bone in my wrist called a navicular. That was something like 30+ yrs ago. I still have limited grip and mobility. Cold damp weather with it sucks too. Good luck and work at it as hard as you can stand. It will only help on the other end of theropy. I guess I missed the orginal thread. So refresh what happened. Were you the one that slipped on the ice and up ended?

Winner winner $$

That would be probably the same deal I linked here. The 765 is an older unit. They are getting harder to find. The reason I wanted one because I can build my own routes on my computer and import them on to it. So I just looked around e-bay. It looks like you can still get some decent ones for around $45 and up. I would buy from a place that is an authorized seller and reconditioner and buy the insurance, its pretty cheap. There are some older units like a street pilot for around $20. They have more features, but the screen is a lot smaller. Then on top of not only buying the unit, you will be in another $40-50 for a bracket/holder for it. And if you ever change units you have to buy another one as they are made for each unit. Which got me to thinking. Do you need a GPS for making routes? Or are simply using to go from A to B. In which case you can use a smart phone, and you can load music on your phone or use Pandora. So while I was thinking of that it lead me to think of the mount. I bought a new mount for my cell from RAM mounts. Its sort of a spring loaded X deal. But it will fit lots of things and would work on all most any GPS or smarty phone. So I would look more in this direction instead of the "custom" fit mount. This is the one I used.

OUCH

Hmmm Makes more sense then the Ground Hog thing. Probably more accurate too.

10-4 on the 765 having FM transmitter. I forgot about that. On my 900 Vulcan at first thats how I would listen to the GPS. You tune radio to somewhere between like 80 and 95 on FM that is not being used in your area. then set the GPs to Xmit on that band. what I ran into traveling was you would occasionally run across stations on those bands going down the highway and you would have to retune the GPS and your bike radio. Donvitto in answer to your question, could you just run a splitter and that adapter. Yes You can set the GPS up so it tells you more info or less as far as how often depending on if you get tied of listening to it tell you to "continue". I have a Sgt something or other voice on mine. He calls you all kinds of names and its kind of funny, for about an hour. So I'm back to the British gal voice. That adapter unit if I read it right is like $60 bucks? Thats a bit steep aint it? I am not familiar with the 1st gens so much. Is there no Aux input on them? does your cassette deck still work? If so just use one of these cassette input adapters You could use a Y cable splitter and away you go for under $4.

They all sound like they got a dead hole miss.
