    glad you got hooked up with the parts you need. look up Snow City Cycle, just down the road from me and usually get the parts in about 2 days. order any part you need and i can post to you next time if needed. cheers, Scott

    if you take the two screws out of the right side rad chrome piece with reflector on it, this will make it easier to see the sensor and the wire that should be plugged onto it. the sensor if i remember is a brass colour, with only one wire that plugs onto it. cheers, Scott

    there is a single sensor wire that most likely slipped off the temp sensor. mine did the same thing. on the right side of the bike, just behind the radiator, there is a sensor that is screwed into the back of the rad. there is a single wire with a connector that should be pushed onto this sensor. i took a pair of pliers and gently closed the connector so it would push onto the sensor a little tighter. it is an easy fix. let us know how you make out. cheers, Scott

    i think Big Tom might still have some of your wrenches and i could have come down to help you with your plumbing problem. oh well, we are too late. maybe i can come over and feed you some Guiness and then you could try and pee like a teenager again. we could water Becky's garden, or maybe the neighbours lawn. get well buddy, we have some more riding to do. Cheers, Scott

    i broke my cable a couple of weeks ago, same as yours. i went to a good Yami dealer and they found another cable slighly longer from another bike. i went out to the parking lot, slid the new inner spring up into my existing cable sheath after lubing and threw away the new cable casing from the some other bike. if you can find a longer inner spring, if you are handy you can cut it shorter with a dremel type tool, and carefully put the square edges on the end just like the old one. hope this helps. cheers, Scott

    thanks guys, i knew i can count on the family here to help me out. i did hit a big bump in the road and that is when the light came on. the level is 3/4 full in the sight glass. usually change oil every 3,000 miles, i am at 5,000 and will do an oil change today or tomorrow. thanks again cheers, Scott

    while riding today, the oil pressure light came on. i pulled over right away and shut the bike off. oil level was fine on the sight glass, so i carried on. the bike runs fine, and the next time i stop and restart the bike the light goes off, all back to normal. any answers would be appreciated. it is time for an oil change, would the filter be plugging and that be the reason the warning light came on? maybe there is a loose connection on the pressure sensor, anyone know where the sensor is located on the engine? cheers, Scott

    i made a pair of brackets for Bongobob to do what you are asking. then he had some other wiring issues. i am sure he will be responding to this post very shortly.

    imagine,hey Bob they tried to use packing tape when duct tape works so much better.

    i had the exact same thing on my 86 vr. it is the fuse clip in the fuse block has weakened or is corroded and not making contact. it is hard to see but the end of the fuse overheated and the fuse even though it looked okay. tested open or blown. thanks to my buddy Carl who made a quick fix got me going, and i wired in a fuseholder the next day. i have ordered a new fuse block and will install it soon. cheers, Scott

  23. mother

    when i left Bobs yesterday, the bike was partially torn apart and the wire harness to be installed was ready to go in. i am sure he has made some good headway on a project that most people would not attempt. thanks again Bob and Becky for your hospitality. cheers, Scott and Sherry
