Bikes first check. I normally try to do them about 60000 miles.

Townsends, Seal was removed in the picture. It fits flush with the housing when installed. Here is a picture showing the length of the bolts and the gear and shaft. One of the inside. It might be possible to do the seal without dropping the engine but it definately needs to move forward...

Did my first valve check at 89000. One exhaust valve was down to .002 otherwise everything was fine. I changed out the CCT at that check. I just completed a second check at 156000 and had an intake that was at .005. I adjusted 5 other valves that were close to the limit and got them back...

I just fixed mine last weekend. It's been leaking for a few years and I finally took the time to fix it. Not sure if you have to go to this extent but it's so much easier to replace the seal with nothing in the way. This also gives me the oppurtunity to take care of a few other things while...

It was nice to see a few familiar faces and also have the chance to meet some new ones. Thanks for coming up Greg. Seems like I really only had a problem with the shivers when I stopped and unplugged. Funny that riding a sled when it's in the 20's you don't need much for staying warm but on a...

Had it happen again last Saturday. Bike had been sitting for 10 days since last being used after the IBR. Hit the starter and it fires for a split second then dies and then just cranks over. Turn the key off - hold in the starter button - turn the key on and it starts to run, although poorly...

Yea, I think it was on the final morning. I'm trying to get to the cool kids club but I'm another who goes between a few bikes. My Venture just rolled 160k.

Atually it turned out to be a pretty tame ride as most of the snow had melted since we put this plan together a few weeks ago. But I can now say I've ridden on the 4th of July. I also want to thank everyone for their kind words. I can't tell you how much they have meant to me. I can only hope...

The only bonus I recall being west of the Mississippi in the 1st BITE rally was near Venice, LA.

Here I thought I had the only bike that would do this. I would say I've had this happen about 10 times since new. Like others it happens after sitting for at least a week or more. Last summer I ended figuring out a little more about the problem (at least with my bike). If I disconnected the fuel...

Denied. If the parts were the same why have two part numbers? RichardS has given you most of it. The 5 numbers in the second set are Yamaha's way to identify what the part is. Example; 13440 is an oil filter. The first three numbers (4SV, 5PU etc) tell you what model it was originally designed...

Going to take me another year or so to make 150 on this one. This one turned last Saturday ^_^

Wouldn't miss it. Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

I'm in again. No FJR this year though, going to be running two up on the grocery getter.

Yep. 4 gallon with a 45* fill adapter.

Matt, That was me that you met. Normally I'd sit and talk bikes all day but I was already late for a prior committment.

Has there been many do this? This is about 60,000 miles worth. The only extras I run are a Gerbing jacket liner with gloves and a set of FF200 HID's. Not very often that the heat is on high with the lights, but even when that does happen I show at least 13.7 volts when driving down the road.

Just wanted to say thanks for everyones help in trying to get me going again. Lance came through in a big way! I got it together again about 10:00 last night and was on the road in the morning. Made it back home with no problems.

They are mounted on top of the headlight housing.
