Welcome! I haven't been to Ireland since '99. when we spent driving around your beautiful country for two weeks on our honeymoon.

I change the gear oil with every tire change, which used to be about 16K miles with the PR2s and PR3s. Road 5s will be lucky to go 10K. My '06 had 129K miles on it when I got rid of it, and still had the original clutch. I put some moly lube on the shaft spline and gear.

So sorry to hear of your situation. From one Nittany Lion to another, I wish you the best. We are.....

Only issue from what I've found is that Yamaha uses propriety codes and you need their info to figure out what is what. Codes I've gotten in the past were not standard. There are some hex conversions to try and figure it out, but they didn't really help me. I could clear the codes, though.

In the States, we have to dodge the deer. From remembering our 2 week honeymoon in Ireland, you have to dodge sheep. We loved our time in Ireland!

I ended up using VPN to watch on the Austrian tv feed.

Anyone know if the sprint races are televised in the US? The sunday races are on CNBC and NBC, but I haven't found anything in the schedules for the sprint races. Am I missing something? No, I don't have the videopass.

Taekwondo - currently a 2nd degree, working on 3rd. Also like camping with the family. Recently got into home brewing and vintage cast iron pans. Approaching geezerdom.

Great story!Always in awe of humble folks with amazing skills.

Also I wanted to mention, WRT Luke's other post on helping Henry's widow sell his bikes, I can vouch for Luke (FWTW), as well as the parts and bike.

I have also known Henry for 20-some years, also back when we both were riding FJ1200s.. I would say I definitely did not know him as well as LukeDagny (also my friend), but well enough to call him my friend. He was a good man. He was a deceptively fast rider in the twisties. He will be missed.

I wonder if Dealership A failed to soak the friction plates in oil prior to installation.

I just used a female spade connector to jump the pins. Fit perfectly.

I wonder if mine got beat up during the 2nd gear recall work. It surfaced after I got it back.

Ah, it was for Gen III.

Yikes. I paid about $109 shipped.

I just replaced mine a couple months ago. Got it from Partzilla. Completely cured the jerky and abrupt throttle response.

Update: Changed out the TPS this morning. Checked the calibration against the original's: lower reading was spot on, higher reading was off by a few tenths of a percent. Took it for a test ride. Throttle is now back its buttery smooth goodness that Ivan's reflash brings. No more herky jerky...

Man, you had my hopes up....there hasn't been a good dog pile in a long time.
