    Look in the piviot point of the forks. The passing light "bundle" of wires is there. Sometimes they will get pin vh1 ed or a bullit connector comes loose. But definatly sounds like a ground problem.

    The Mr Gasket pump does not have a ck valve. There is a write up I did in the 2nd gen tech section. I have had one on my bike for better than a year I think and no problems related to the pump and no ck valve.

    OK so I had to look it up and see what I could find for helmet law in the communist state of Calif. This page is interesting. PUC it says your fine could have been anything from a "fix it fine of $10" to $250. I would post all the boring writing but dont want to take up the space. But it dont say nuttin about color choice. I know I know you paid it rather than haggle. I was the same way last year on one of them dang red light camera scams down here. I could fight it for about $100 or so, but if I lost it would have been way over $300. I dont get why it cost me $130 to prove I was right and then I'm out the cash. The court and lawyer is the only one making out on this deal. It was no points so heck I just paid the $158 and counted my lumps. Hey if you got time this article is interesting to read. Its about the CHP and them going after "illegal" helmets and ticketing folks because the CHP "believed" the helmet to not measure up. So on the flip side, if the communist state of Calif says "XYZ" helmet is OK and you get a bump on the noggin, can you sue them because the helmet they say is good allowed you to get an injury?

    Here is the link for the passing light relay installation. You can use what they are for power to fire the relay, or actually pull power off say the AUX power outlet, which is turned on when the key is. that way it will let you run the light on low beam or high beam headlight operation. You will need to run a fused power wire from battery or some place that will sustain the draw.

    Response #2 tells you where the fuses are located. If its one of the dealer installed passing lights it will have a rubber covered push button switch. they are wired to suck power off the low beam of the headlight. So if you have a standard headlight and then add 2x 35w bulbs on top of that to go thru a 15a fuse what do ya think?? thats why you can find a dozen write ups about running them off a relay and a separate power source.

    I mounted one up lower left by leg fairing. Removed lower filler cosmetic panel and installed it there. I didnt want to put it under the fairing and muffle any sound. Has anybody seen the Denali Sound Bomb horn? Looks like a knock off stebel sort of.

    WOW PUC never heard of that going on before. BUT we are talking about California, where they get $15 an hour for working in McD. SO white helmets are illegal in Calif?? What the hay? Is that stated on say the motorcycle aftermarket places selling helmets? "you can not buy a white helmet to operate a motorcycle in Calif" Whats next? You cant paint your bike black and white? I can understand if your state is non-helmet and theirs has helmets. But as long as its a DOT lid, now you tell me it has to be a certain color? YIKES sumtin fishy there

    OH MAN. Now you done did it. You let the majic smoke out probably. your right on your suspicion of a blown fuse if you were using the aux plug up by the fairing. Although it looks like a "cig lighter" the fuse in there is like 5 amp I think. SO chances are your compressor maxed it out. The headlight I'm not sure, but should be fused separately, provided someone has not been in there previously. The headlight fuse is behind the left side cover by seat. Unfortunately the fuse for the aux power outlet is behind the right leg fairing. So Yamaha didn't do use any favors there. I have in the past, when I found out the fuse for that was in there and they are soooo much fun to get off, putting a 20a fuse in there and adding a fuse under the fairing at the aux plug @ 5a. Should do the same thing.

    For whatever reason the 56 is my favorite of the tri-5 series. Not into the fins on the 57 I guess and everybody when I was in high school wanted a 55. So there ya go. Then in 58 GM killed the body line. that was the most unappealing tank. Way more weight and goofy suspension. Would rather have an 59 Impala I think it was with the flat type fins.

    I'd buy a Can Am first

    I think they have to let you. Its one of those interstate commerce things. I think it would be just like say a licence. Say your state does not require an endorsement for MC and Conn does. They cant not allow you to operate or passage as long as you are in compliance in your state. If your state does not require vehicle inspections, they cant make you get one before entering.

    Oh no! More tires to buy.

    I dont think we really have a "tradition" for christmas meal anymore. Since the first grand baby the kids are sometimes at his wifes family, sometimes our place. Last year they went north to NC. And every couple years we go to my bro-in law to eat. So I guess our tradition is to mix it up. Lol

    You know its kind of funny. When looking for a replacement for my 900 vulcan I had 3 things that were on the pretty important list. Hard bags and trunk, electronic cruise and self canceling signals. Dunno why I think they are all that important. But I know more than a few times I caught myself with a blinker going for what must have been quite sometime after a turn. Dont know which relay is in what. Just though maybe over all instructions would give someone an idea of how they could fix theirs. I have thought about the pull apart solder version a few times. But I think I would like a "back up" incase things go bad.

    Fingernail polish to my knowledge is Lacquer. they do make body filler now that has "flexible" properties. I dont think you want to try to patch a fairing that has a big crack in back together, but some imperfections it should be fine.

    Shooot I thought it was one of them Can Am things converted.

    I have seen them all over. They run them in Savannah GA, Key West, Charleston too I think. Not sure, but I pay to pedal someone else around town. Pay money for drinks at full rate, and they make fun of me while doing it. Hmmm
  18. djh3
    Jeff this is for you. Here is the actual write up I was looking for. I think maybe this is the same flasher used on the self cancel bikes. Pretty sure the second gens anyways. But it may help you all out also.
  19. djh3
    They use some kind of crazy formula also. Once you get to some kind of weird percentage of bike value (I think its 62%) they total it out. Some companies let you remove "personal" items, some dont. I have to imagine the bike is at a wrecker yard or something right?, not your backyard.

    I have thought about if say it was the front fairing and was all nicked up, maybe a wrap?
  21. djh3
    So its a whatcha-ma-cycle? I dont see any a/c vents for the compressor up front of the drive belt, so you figure he is using that as the hydro pump?
  22. djh3
    Would be more fun if he hung onto the plug and the crankcase while he spun it over. Rellay sorry didnt see the part about turns over. This would not be the first bike in the last oh 4 months or so I have heard of ran fine and a fellow worked on it and then would not start. The last ended up troubleshooting like almost a month to figure out it was the electronic box that the sidestand switch feeds into and a coil pac died simultaneously.

    This may seem a little to simple. I will tell you I did not read the entire post. BUT I did similar thing last year. Was working under the fairing on my 2nd gen. Got dont no start. After about an hour looking around, chasing wires etc looking for all this strange stuff that could have went south. The kill switch had got bumped.
  25. djh3
    Yup. Just after thanksgiving. Not my deal I could care less. My job is dig all that junk out, then put away boxs, then in Jan dig boxs all back out then put away again. Reminds me of basic training in USAF. Pick up bags, put them down, pick them up, put them down. 3-4 days of movin all this crap. Grrrrr sorry I just think its a waste of time I guess.
