    AE Cornering Suggestions?

    I just had the ECU done 2 weeks ago. I have noticed a improvement. Would be nice though if Yamaha had address the issue directly and fixed it. Instead we get to spend lots of money and try (ie. experiment with our lives) to fix it ourselves.

    packing for a long trip ran out of space

    So I have not taken a long trip on the bike I am planning one for this summer. A few things I know are that you have to shower someplace. Truck stops will sell you a shower for about $10. I shower daily. Most trucks stops have a laundry mat in them. I have spent 15 years as a truck driver and...

It makes the Bike Happy and beings I have no Riding Skills I need to Look good at stop lights. I hope that my admissions will help others who are ashamed to admit or are afraid to wash...

    Guess Someone Up There REALLY Meant For Me To Get The AE

    The AE is nice. I broke my back last year and ended up with some Nerve damage. The Paddle shift and linked braking make it so I can comfortably ride. As long as I don't have to stop there are no worries. I don't know, but I think that if I had to shift constantly it would cause me not to ride.

    SH__26? Not starting

    I asked them if they changed the gear oil and they said they took the arm off as one piece so they didn't have to drain. They may have though because the writer didn't know for sure. I did the change at 600 miles and they say that is good for like 10K. I just need to ride it. As for the...

    SH__26? Not starting

    So I picked up the bike today and all seems right with the world now. Thursday they called and said that it was shifting fine with the Paddle but the Foot shifter was not working. It needed a new sensor that is near the foot at $285 plus .5 hours labor. They ordered the part and then Friday the...

    SH__26? Not starting

    I thought it was the B but you are right. So the question now is when they removed and re installed the Swing arm do they have to drain and replace the Final drive oil?

    SH__26? Not starting

    I double checked this in the service manual. The Clutch Res is under the B panel. But the manual calls for removing the swing arm.

    Sounds like it would do you about as much good as a Ashtray.

    Turns out it just needed the Clutch bled. Problem is you have to remove the Swing Arm to do this. I checked the Service Manual and sure enough you have to remove the Swing Arm. 3 Hrs but at least it's done.

    Jump starting using battery tender cables

    I understand what he is saying about the leads. Because both the one that is installed on you bike and the extra Clamp type were labeled thinking they would be going on your bike they would be opposite on whatever you were going to connect the Clamps to. The way you can always make sure is lay...

    You never know. Maybe he wanted to Secede and go out on his own.

    Well at least they aren't taking stuff apart that isn't needed.

    SH__26? Not starting

    I got a call from the shop today. They opened the covers and removed the clutch plates. They say they look great. They are saying the next step in the trouble shooting is to remove the Swing Arm and expose the Manual Actuator for the Pressure plate. Does this sound right or wrong to anyone...
