From years of working with blow mold plastic and fiberglass with radio control airplanes, I can tell you that drill bits are NOT the way to go. If you have a dremel tool that came with assorted bits, the carbide cutters, which are shaped like a drill bit but are much smoother and don't catch or...

Ray's Yamaha Greenfield, Ma Tim is the head wrench man

Got them for $6.95 here https://www.sparkplugs.com . Price hasn't changed since last year. Cheers :)

My '04 did not wobble with the original bridgestones. Put new Avons on and the wobble was at 45 to 50. Avon nicely sent me a new tire but pointed out that the tire has a zig zag rain tread right at the high point of the tire and this bike may follow the tread. He also told me to check the...

Hey Brutha, I have an '04 with Staintunes in Brattleboro VT. I only get to ride on weekends. If you are in the area you could check out the sweet sound, and it is sweet.................VT

Bounce, you work fast Brudda. VT

You asked for it and here it is. I emailed allballs racing and Kevin replied with the following excellent information for all of us guys and girls Our taper bearing replacement steering bearing kit is 22-1003. Cost for the kit is $31.97. It contains both the upper and lower taper bearing...

The helmet speakers sold by Riders Warehouse of Aerostich fame, are made by chatterbox and are really good and inexpensive (a rare combo) I have them in my Shoei RF800 and use my dell mp3 and the sound is totally fine at any speed (don't get funny now guys, I mean up to 80 anyways). I highly...

This fix has been around for quite awhile (with excellent pics I might add) I have had the foil faced bubble wrap under my tank for over a year and it is holding up perfectly and really really helps on super hot days. I can't believe that some guys think wearing heavier riding pants are going...

Wow, I don't think I have ever seen such grouchy replies to a post on this forum. Is everyone takin' some kind of pill that isn't working or what. I thought this site was supposed to be for sharing info and FUN. Whassup wit dat :P

Hey Bounce, Keith the customer service rep for Avon tires told me over the phone that tapered roller bearings are vastly superior tto the OEM ball bearings that Yamaha and all the other Japanese mfgrs. still employ. He didn't specify where to buy them, but did recomend replacing the stock ones...

Motion Pro told me over the phone that california has banned shipping any mercury, and whatever units are already shipped to mail order stores are the last ones available. He did say most stores ordered very heavily so there will be availability for a while. They are testing alternative liquids...

Competition Accessories, but there are many online stores for similar $. Here's the kicker though. Motion Pro told me on the phone that mercury can no longer be shipped from california, so they filled all their orders with their suppliers and that is the end. They can no longer make and sell...

One long ride in traffic on a 90 degree hot day, and you will feel the inside of your legs and crotch cooking like you won't believe. the tank gets hot to the touch and the body gets very uncomfortable. Now mind you, this ONLY happens when it is really hot outside. the motor does NOT overheat...

Just did plugs and my first throttle body sync at 8000 miles. I bought an economy motion pro mercury tube tool (by the way, they won't be making them anymore, California won't allow any mercury to be shipped anymore, so only those already in warehouses accross the country will be available, when...

If these do become available, I'd be interested also for my ball burning '04 when it gets 90 out. I can be reached at [email protected] thanks, VT

There's another new blue '06 sitting on the floor of Valley Motorsports in Northampton Ma. if anyone is interested. I saw it when I went in to get an oil filter for my other yammy, a '79 SR500F. good luck, VT

New 06 Blue on the floor at valley motorsports in NorthHampton Mass. stopped in for an oil filter and there she was. Hope she finds a nice home................. :yahoo: VT

Hi everyone, when it came time to torque my front axle, I discovered that the drive adaptor that seemed such a nice snug fit into the sparkplug end of the socket, SLIPPED :angry: while applying the recomended amount of torque. Sooooooooooo, I silver soldered the suckers together and there...

Hey Warchild and everyone else. I just ordered a new front Avon for my FJR and printed out the front wheel removal article from FJR Tech (Dales great piece of work). Needless to say no hardware or auto store in my area had a 19mm allen wrench. I could not find a spark plug wrench for a 5/8 plug...
