  4. It is not the ignition switch. as stated above, if it were the switch, you would have retained radio and odo memory. 2 things it could be: dirty battery connection "my vote" or the fuse located in the starter relay box= the one located inside the black plastic cover behind the left passenger floorboard kickplate" it gets corroded" because the rear wheel throws water all over it when you ride in the rain.....what a great plan by yamaha.. mike.
  5. the water can wick into the vent when driven in a heavy downpour, however it is more likely to be from condensation being parked or stored in a damp area, or stored under a tarp when the engine is still warm. if you don't see any leaking, or loss from your fluid level, then don't change any seals. just service it often. mike

  23. the big brown truck will be in Vegas on wednesday!!
  24. go to your nearest gm dealership and ask for the "F & I" office and they can sell you a plan. I does not matter where you purchased the car. the major gaurd plan is the best bang for the buck, and you can get a plan with zero deductible if you wish. mike
  25. after 25 years of writing service in auto dealerships, here is my answer. buy your extended coverage from the same company that manufactures the car your purchasing- gm car=gm plan ford car =ford plan toyota car= toyota plan you get the idea, the reason being. that most aftermarket warranty plan companies will fail and fold up and never to be found again after about three years, and will take more effort than most consumers will put forth to find them. most of these aftermarket companies will have a catch in the plan that says you have to take it back to "the selling dealer" for covered repairs, and if your off to see mickey or grandma and 600 miles from your selling dealer......well then your screwed... they only cover up to a 50 dollar towing service---woopty dooo!! most major dealers extended coverage plans like gm, will tow you to the nearest gm dealer, provide you with a rental, and even pay for motels in the event of an overnight repair that is more than 100 miles from your home. my favorite customer statement was "by gawd i had one of them plans once!! paid alotta money for it!! never used the damn thang!" my favorite reply was " do you have life insurance? do you hope you use it ?" or at the end of each year, do you complain to your insurance man if you didn't crash your car?? look very close to any plans that you have, the favorite trick is to put small #s or * signs after a covered item, and if you look hard you will find they apply to a way to screw the owner. there is no plan, for any automobile that has true "bumper to bumper coverage" none! that is a statement that should be outlawed! and none of them cover any bumpers and the dealers make more profit from the in house warranty, so thats the one they will advise you to purchase. ask your service writer or manager. i hope this helps you with your question. mike
