Actually, you can over tighten the shouldered bolt. If the wave washer is even mostly flattened it will bind enough that the shift drum will not come back to a neutral position all the time. When you go to shift there will be no gear there until you return the shift lever to the neutral...

Per the owners manual, use the Menu Switch to bring up the Windshield Adjust screen on the Function Display then use the Select Switch to move the windshield up and down. The doing of it is a lot easier than the saying of it. It's shown with pictures and arrows in the owners manual. Plus, the...

Cool, with showers that just moved out. It's that time of year in New England. It was a good weekend for a slow train ride through the Franconia Notch area. This morning it was 34 degrees when I rode to work.

^^^^^ Damn, I'm going to have to agree with Fred on this :)

On the Gen I the 4 dash panels need to be removed and the left side faring needs to have at least the top edge and trailing edge screws removed so you can gain access to the R/R which is mounted up on the left side frame behind the radiator fill assembly. The inner left side black panels have a...

GaryF lives in Canada where the traffic laws in some provinces often makes criminals out of people for what would be a mild to middle level traffic law violation in the US. The scale for $fines$, immediate driver's license suspensions and other punishment escalates wildly for small increases in...

Try 2. The first try at answering from a train in North Woodstock NH this afternoon didn't go so well. As I noted in my post, the term Fuel Injection - Synchronization is from the Owners Manual, the FSM may use a different term entirely. It's common for Yamaha Owners Manuals to speak a...

^^^^ ABS is supposed to be fail-safe. If the ABS system fails your normal braking system should work unaltered.

All ABS systems are made to become active upon impending wheel lockup and this is the sole triggering point. Impending lockup is determined by measuring wheel speed, vehicle speed and then the ABS ECU does a lot of math. The vehicle inertia can be determined by an accelerometer, calculated or...

Most headlight relays have coil current ratings of 0.150 to 0.200 amps (150 milliamps to 200 milliamps) to fully energize the coil. Even the glove box plug circuit can easily power a relay coil.

Sometimes Fred W takes words coldly exact. The throttlebodies on the Gen III have adjustable bleeds which you can use to sync the TBs at idle. The TBs do not have adjustable throttle plates which Fred uses to sync the TBs with the throttle partly open. The Owners Manual calls for: Fuel...

Oh ****. You have been warned. Below is the stuff from the sleeping zone. Most electrical devices are voltage based; send the device 12 -15 volts DC and the device will let the current fall wherever it will. Some items like relays need some minimum 'pull-in' voltage to energize the coil...

The '16 lights are LEDs, this is the reason I asked about a schematic. You may have a problem tapping a wire which powers a LED. Edit: Since we haven't heard back from the OP, apparently all went well tapping the little blue wire.

Send me a '16 schematic and I'll show you the wire :)

Copied from what I wrote in another post about ABS, for those that aren't familiar with what triggers ABS application: In motor vehicle ABS applications the trigger point for ABS is typically defined as when a wheel's slip angle becomes greater than 87%. This is the critical point between a...

That wasn't my message. Then there is nothing left to be said.

I was BMW curious at one time. I rented a K1300 and put about 3k miles on it in <10 days. Sure glad I didn't buy one. A couple of years later I rented a K1600GT and put about 3k miles on it in <10 days. Sure glad I didn't buy one. If a person was strongly tempted to make a significant...

Take a look at cutting along the harness wrapping tape and see if it will buy you some extra wire length to work with. When done you can repair the harness tape using self amalgamating/self fusing silicone tape. One type of self fusing tape is shown below. The picture is a clickable link...

You need to contact Dave/WynPro for the passenger floorboards, he is making them in place of knifemaker.
