    Engine switch

    A compression test on a flooded engine will give false readings. A true reading is at operating Temp.

    OEM bulbs are a little better design. More vibration resistant than auto bulbs but they will work just fine. Photo of bulb has wire supporting center of top wire, auto bulb will not. Maybe just a Yamaha thing. Much good info. here. Helped me a few times.

    Older motorcyclists most likely to die in crashes

    Some here are living closer to the EDGE than me. Its a risk but worth it. If you are not living close to the EDGE you are taking up to much space.... QUOTE Life is short. Age and time in saddle are good. Age and reaction time are not.
