Same issue with my 86, ended up changing the compressor assembly. About a year later I removed the system and added schrader valves and bought a portable 12v compressor from Harbor Freight for $9.00 and never looked back. and I can air up my tires if needed.

I found one on ebay that wasn't broken. I think I will have it beefed up at a machine shop. Thanks

I was doing some other things on my 86 and noticed the trunk was loose and rocked back and forth a lot. Upon further inspection I found the 2 forward mounts broken. I removed the trunk and found the back of the trunk was cracked from completely across from the rear 2 mount points. I'm guessing the front issue led to the rear issue. Wife never mentioned it was loose. Check your bike it looks like one side had been repaired before.

I thought the voltage from the stator should be around 100vac?

Any electric shop should be able to rebuild it.

Did you use a micrometer and check the thickness. I just changed mine and if I remember correctly 5mm is minimum thickness. BTW ended up getting one from EBC from ebay.

I ended up replacing the carb of the one that was missing on mine.

I just rebuilt my master and slave cylinders 2 days ago. Do your self a favor and get a vacuum bleeder. It took me longer to read the directions than to bleed the clutch. http://www.harborfreight.com/brake-bleeder-and-vacuum-pump-kit-69328.html This is the one I bought, money well spent.

I went through this and finally bought a new fuel pump and no problems since. Ebay had new ones for 75.00 a few weeks ago but for some reason they are $500.00. I used and aftermarket one, it's not a direct fit but works great.

They are the floats inside the resivoirs.

For sale on ebay, new fuel pumps http://www.ebay.com/itm/ELECTRIC-GAS-FUEL-PUMP-Fits-YAMAHA-XVZ1300D-VENTURE-ROYALE-1300D-1986-1993-/291760653742?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276

I have one. Pay the shipping and it's yours.

There isn't anything keeping the fan from spinning? If not maybe a local electrician can repair yours

Anyone got a good rear rotor they are willing to part with?

While doing the back tire I discovered that my rear rotor was at the minimum 4.5mm. I decided to use the one from my parts bike. I got the rotor off and its smaller and not offset from the tire or slotted. The bikes are the same year. Can I use this rotor or should I find another? I doubt if that rotor is not original, parts bike only had 13k miles on it. Also thinking maybe he swapped wheels with a MKI.

I found the little drain screws. The fluid is awful, black as tar.

I am putting in progressive springs in an 86 and have a question. Where is the drain for the fork oil? Also what's the general feeling on the size on the preload spacers? Thanks

Are they still out of stock?

A new day a new prospective, too much force not enough finesse.

I just replaced the starter clutch.

Anyone know the best way or the trick to reinstall the rotor? It came off easy, not as easy going back on. I'm at a stand still. Thanks

So now how do I get it back on?

Do I need thicker or thinner washers to improve gas mileage?

It took about 2 minutes to get the rotor off. All the bolts in the clutch came out with only an allen wrench, looks like there was no loctite on them.

If you have a 2nd Gen there was an Ipod kit from Yamaha. I used to see them on eBay.
