  1. right click on the page, not the link and select back.
  2. I would give it a shot of penetrating oil a few times and let it soak, then heat and give it some more to let it get in there. After that heat it again if you can turn it ever so slightly give it some more and work it in and out, oil, then walk away for a bit. More penetrating oil and see if you can heat it again and walk it out. Time can be your friend here.
  3. doesn't the kit from yamaha include a star engraved ipod?? When I got mine with the bike it was in one box, cables, isimple, ipod and new owners manual that included the ipod/isimple.
  4. Could help on a weekend or just go for a ride
  5. ? Is it coming on and not wanting to stay on, do the set lights blink, does it indicate it's on and just not set? The lights should blink if it has a problem, if not check the throttle cable and see if it's loose. It won't come on until you are at about 40mph and in 4th or 5th gear. the cruise light should be on and when you set that light should be on also. If the set and res flash it is a dealer issue. I rode to work today and it was 28f out, didn't use it but I have when it's cold and never an issue.
  6. We will have you in our prayers.
  7. My speedometer on my trusty rsv is off by almost 10mph , so when it says 80 I am goin 70. I found this out riding with a group who said I was drivin like a grandpa. I noticed it took extra time going a distance and used a gps to confirm. Just remember that as you increase speed the laws of physics increase exponentially. if you increase your speed 10mph , your stopping distance increases about 1.75% , it takes less steering input to move the same distance at higher speeds and all that equates to less room for error. Not passing judgement but I used to drive fast, now I just drive to get there.
  8. Man, not havin a cassette player is a real bummer, is it around 7000 ??
  9. You gotta love it
  10. doesn't that make you wonder if that's also true of the avons
  11. ignition switch, should be a thread on the bypass and that could be a way to test it.
  12. Very nice, did you make a video of making the gauge pod, it's awesome!!
  13. http://www.advrider.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=174763&d=1214864028 same picture, easy to make a lite trailer to pull
  14. I saw a bike pulling a kayak, not sure it was as long as yours, it was upside down on a box about the width of the kayak, I only assume that was where they kept provisions. It had a low profile, it wasn't any higher than the piggy backer. As for length I added a longer tongue on my hf trailer and it is about 10' long.
  15. My 2011 came with it and I installed it, it was simple. My complaint is that it worked great until apple did an upgrade, now it hangs on some songs. I have found it plays audio ripped from origination cd's fine, does not songs ripped from "best of" K-tel type cd's. You can only have your songs in one of five directory's set up in itunes. It will kill your battery in about three days if you leave your ipod on. I actually like my iphone better on the handlebars plugged into the aux input. I can listen to pandora or itunes and gps at the same time.
  16. My first thought is to try to bypass the kill switch and ride a bit, if the issue doesn't reoccur it's the switch or wiring between where you bypassed it or the switch. I have never pulled a kill switch apart but my guess is not too many moving parts. Could also try to spray contact cleaner in it but my experience is when a switch starts going south you are just prolonging the inevitable and that will happen at the worse possible moment. If it wasn't the kill switch I would peak at the ignition switch or sidestand but with the blinking on the power side I would throw my guess at the ignition switch.
  17. get a few drill bits with left hand twist, you are reversing it out. Go small and then try an easy out, the drill bit will probably grab it as you are drilling. Try a hair dryer on the body of the carb to warm it up first, good luck
  18. scrap the hf hydraulic, go to a farm store and buy the biggest hydraulic jack that will fit that can be repaired. You will need to drill to fit but it's far cheaper than a new jack. You can try a hydraulic oil for leaky jacks but it will leak again, it needs new seals.
  19. Next we need air filter covers, hmmmmmmmm
  20. I was thinkin fuel pump could be going also, try the petcock in reserve position also. . .
  21. Happy bd
  22. Ok, added some mo bling to the bike. Now I gotta add the blue led's. I bought a wireless remote switch, a relay, lights so now where to hide. . .
  23. It was sold by my father in the Edgewood / Ft Mitchell area of Kentucky
  24. safe investments pay little return ie, utilities most anything else is like gambling, the more you can make the highest chance you will loose it. I say it's finally time to pop on a second gen
  25. The reason not to start with a lawyer is that if you hire a lawyer, and the defense is not valid in your state, the lawyer negotiates the payment you could have done with a little leg work and they get a 1/3. Now lets say the damages are 10,000. you end up with 6,000. and are out the difference. I suggest keeping a log, everyone you talk to, date and time, every paper you are sent. . . denial . . . They must prove their claim first, in order to do that they must submit medical documents to you and they can't hide behind hipaa to do that. Most states require where they accept the "defense" is that it is unforeseeable. If they were diagnosed as an epileptic and have had a fit, it would be foreseeable that once they have an episode at some point in the future they will have another. If the physician signed off or they signed at the dmv they were in good health waiver when renewing their DL, they would have misrepresented the truth. Next if your state does not accept this as a defense, you should have that conversation with your agent. Since they must prove it to your agent, ask him for the documents as it's his responsibility to defend the insured's best interest. My next question is what company insures the other party? Car and homeowner? If they are both covered by the same insurance company that would be good to know. Next every state has a department that regulates insurance and they can provide some good information to you including your rights to have the incident reviewed. When all is done you should have a binder with facts and information, if you end up having to take that to a lawyer not only will it help your case but it will reduce their billable hours. Use your tax paid employees first, http://www.insurance.pa.gov/portal/server.pt/community/insurance_department/4679 http://palawblog.stark-stark.com/2010/11/articles/personal-injury/sudden-medical-emergency-doctrine/ know your rights, you may be entitled to have your case reviewed or investigated. I'm not against going to a lawyer, just not up front. If anyone tells you something 1) request it in writing, if they are telling you the truth they have nothing to hide 2) It will at some point prove useful to you in the future because it will lock their position and it will help you and other parties not mis-speak. 3) if they raised this as a defense they must medically prove that a) a condition caused the incident and b) that they did not know the condition existed c) they took an ambulance ride as a result of the accident and were evaluated.
