Cheers mate, novice rider at best but do like the grunt & didn't take long to respect the 3rd gear openess

I run the highest setting...18/38 and that still allows me to spin up the rear and lift the front if i disrespect the bike lol

Pads have arrived... sprocket should be here thursday... fingers crossed

That's what I got fronts n backs had backs 2 Yrs only 1 plug

I just bought a set of GBC XC Masters. Great tires!

They are going on my new ITP Baja rims!

pull out the spindle remove brake calliper then from the brake side pull wheel off the final drive and it should fall out

move brake arm up its a spacer that will give u the space to move eheel off the drive

the center bolt was realy jamed in there but i got it out aventurally! thanks :)

Due to a backache I had to leave my 'Darling' parked at work yesterday. Will try and repatriate her asap and will then post a photo of what I'm talking about, Kostas.

Kostas (and all others that might be interested), here's the photo that I promised. As it is such a dark shot I tried to make it visable by adjusting the camera, so the rest of the photo is WAAAAAY too bright. I was talking about the space between the red hugger and the rear tire. Now (on the photo) I have a 170/60 17 Pirelli Angel, but I was wondering if a 180 would also fit. The screws are not the problem. It's the whidest part of the tire that might touch the hugger on the inside.

Ok sorry mate.indeed we meant another thing.i don't have a hugger on my bike :)

I prefer it without

You're probably looking at a grand

Thanks Nick

Expensive, because they have to be custom made

Thanks guys as Craig Genau said not for everyone and thats were I am it trys sitting itself back up when ur going slow and makes u turn like a tractor trailer lol WIDE!!

I put a set of Kenda Challengers on my 07' classic & I love them. I've got 1500k on them & still look great They're $60 apeice @ Amazon :-)

Amy I highly recommend the Metz 880's if you get a chance to find a nice set.

its already on a .010 bore. from 5 yrs ago. it has a slight smoke. but nothing major.

kyle i do wanna build a engine for it down road or over winter or free time. tha tis just mean. cause i can change out engines in a few hours tops. maybe less.

I can build a mean engine

Keep them on at all times

always on for me

Illegal to run with high beam on, you will get nailed by doing it... Also illegal to run with front or rear fog lights on, you can get fined for that... not that a bike has fogs... At night if you have high beam on you could be responsible for blinding an on coming vehicle and causing an accident, there is a reason for high and low beams, you wouldnt like it if people were doing it to you, so dont do it to others,,

Tuning should be done by what the spark plug looks like and how it runs and not by whether the pipe glows or not.

Check your mixer setting looks like you to lean or exhaust blockage.

I've been an avid gear head for well over 40 year built every thing from go carts to heavy built V8 drag motors. 91 octane is a perfect grade of gas for best performance. In any engine because it burns cleaner, Mitch less carb problems, cooler running engine. My 1989 warrier from after I pick it up had to clean carb because the original owner ran 87. After clean started running 91 or higher and after that quad ran so much better. You might want to check your slide needleay be set to low or main jet is a little plugged.

LG tone. They should work with a full face or you can order a kit on eBay to convert full face helmet to Bluetooth

Thanks everyone! Looks like there's a lot of good options out there!

Cycle Sounds the best!

Really? What's the model number?

Hey Sheila Ambrose I don't know the model number but show them this. They also have one with a six inch wire extension on the smaller end. Works good!

Thanks!

Still think its cool. So it takes a little more to ride it. Isn't that the fun in modification. Like to know what you used for the rear end.

I have think about make A-arm longer and lower suspension same can-am to turn with hight speed .But in Việt Nam! road not so good and traffics jam all the time so very difficult to ride in rush hour.Any way i still love off-road so i keep front original.Picture when i ride to jungle

Donald Dill i use Toyota tire for rear tire with size 175-70-14

2000.00

Hmm that was 24 hours too late. Just paid 2960 with tax for a 2012 model with zero miles.

where can you buy a trailer for two grand in that condition? I did search but they are hard to find.

I have changed all of my bulbs to LED the only fixture i had to change was the taillight on my 1300

I just put a silverstar in my 1100 classic. It made a big difference

sometimes I drive in the AM with just the headlight...i like to save the ub-bright yellows as sort of a surprise the the jack rack in the Prius doing 68 in the far left lane...WOW they jump right the hell on the blinker and almost wreck themselves getting the hell out of the way...then I give them a nice polite wave and the last thing they see of me is my orange and green 3m reflecto suit getting smaller against the horizon.

Where did you get the supplies here, I need to upgrade my boat?

Admittedly Andrew...I am male, I bunched up the 6 ft power cord in the the holder figuring no one would say a thing ;-) The wiring has been routed and isolated against the compartment wall in corrugated slit wire loom tubing and zip tied. Tj I didn't mess with it, I had the dealer install dual batteries and all. Matt I am hearing you, my concern is that it only has to fail once.

I have the same charger. I added a 3/8" nut behind each screw to create some space behind the charger. Had the same setup in my previous boat, I keep it plugged in at home and in the slip and never had any overheating problem.

Thanks man. I think I'm cool now, I think I know what was causing the seizures. I am going to start wearing a lid tho

Thats probably a good idea better safe than sorry. Glad to hear you might know what was causing the seizures.

If you're having seizures i wouldn't recommend being behind the wheel of anything

Not too bad Darryl if they're tame compared to today's bikes. Nonetheless, they were the best during their time that you never missed out grinning from ear-to-ear

For sure grinning ear to ear still

Oh my Michael and Shaun sorry for my English. That should have been "stayed" not "sticker" jeeze!

Been running Honda 10w40 when we run out we will be switching to Schaeffer 10w40.

Granting all is well, inlcuding what Darryl has suggested like checking of your reed petals whether they're seated well, try not to go any leaner Jacob, as i see you are more of a WOT guy and i doubt that your cylinder head runs in tight or corrected squish clearance anyway..... If your squish clearance is "wide" or "not corrected" then you're prone to pre-detonation at loads, hence that tad richness or slightly being rich is your assurance to your engine.

If there is a consolation or comparison i can relate to you is my own jetting - I'm also leaned out to 45 pilot and 172 main from the stock 50 pilot and 178 main. The setting is adopted for 35-deg to 40-deg Celsius and for a not so high altitude trailriding, about 500 to 600 metres or 2000 ft. My plug is still a bit rich but you can already see the brownish burn, just not so rustic brown as idealised. But I'm fine by that a li'l richness for my squish clearance is also "uncorrected". I'm not a WOT guy where most of the time I just lug the engine when going up the hill. Sometimes you also jet for the way you ride your bike.... You may even need to go up 1 size on the main if you're a WOT guy. And if you can manage don't go too lean on your pilot. You can only go leaner up to a point that you don't want re-detonation at loads. Your 1999 YZ does not also have a "power jet" unlike the 1999 to present YZ250's. You need that bit of richness as insurance for your engine Jake!

.... Sorry Jacob, that is pre-detonation not "re-detonation" and your YZ is model 1998 rather. sorry for the typo error

Hey also if you do lean out the pilot and the motor starts to surge it's too lean just fyi

this is my wrz

Dang Cennamo Eric! That's a lot!!!! WOW!

Ok so I changed the main jet to 145 and synced the carbs. The mix screw 2.5 turns. Bike idles awesome now but the right side exhaust is cool and the left side is hot. Same with the cylinder right side cool left hot. Is that a timing issue?

Start from the being here. Have you done any internal work or changed to Pma or changed to elect ignition? These things don't normally just happen overnight something had to have caused this

If the right side is cool its prolly a valve coz it aint fireing had the same with my xs but not saying same for you....just a thought!!

I don't think David is on fb. But all of his work is documented on the c3 riders forum.

I had the seals and snap rings replaced, along with the fluid, for the same reason we used to replace brake linings on a big truck when we had a grease seal go bad (Or, vice versa...) you've got it apart and it makes sense to do it while you're there. And, there's only $12 worth of parts...

is that MPH or KMH?

Which super moto is that?

I told them I'd pay to expedite shipping to guarantee arrival by friday... but no... they said... it would arrive by friday no problem... well guess what fracking idiots... I get to lose another fracking beautiful weekend.... for SHIPPING! *AAARRRGHHH* I HATE UPS- THEY SUK!

Hope you find one. I need the black tank skins.

I had a beautiful fender nos, my wife informed me that my pitbull was out back and decided to chew on my three wheeler due to her dumbass friend not watching the dog. Im super fuckin pissed

Buena idea!

wow what an amazing picture - its like one you see in a brochure :)

I never bother my ass, no matter how many adds they put on tv it will still never make car drivers more aware of bikes, 20 secs after the add has been on tv the people forget about it. Saying that, there are a lot of dicks out there on bikes which often give the general public a false impression of bike riders. The idiots I see riding in shorts, vest tops and trainers in summer is pathetic, also the nut jobs you see splitting lanes at 100K on a freeway, it is no wonder that car drivers often hate bike riders. How many times have you been driving a car etc and suddenly a bike passes you at a great speed coming from nowhere... These are the assholes who give us a bad name and we wonder why some car drivers never give way to us. The min the TAC or vic roads does an add about riders speeding or driving dangerously, we hear bike people shouting about it from the rooftops, "why do they always pick on us? it is the car drivers at fault, they never look" but in reality there are many bikers out there that are idiots and thats why we see adds blaming bike riders. As a community we need to show we are not idiots and that we are actually professional riders,,,, well for most of the time ;)

Very good point dan.

It's amusing though that think rider, think bike style ads were being made by the TAC when the CEO was a motorcyclist.

Then when the new guy who didn't ride took over, the onus was on the rider..

Take for example this ad they made back in 2012 that had the Australian riding community in an uproar & sparked an inquiry into rider safety.

http://youtu.be/yj1Wnis16U4

Also, bear in mind that this ad was actually filmed in a 70kmh zone.

'The ride' series of ads was TAC & Vic roads attempt to appease us with less inflammatory adverts.

This is the closest TAC have come to a 'think biker, think bike' ad it's from the early 2000's

They will only really help at low speed drops, but IMO worth it to save the potential cracks/scratches if we drop. And most people will drop at least once.

I went down last year at about 60 mph. This is the damage I really wish I had frame sliders...

I'm really torn about this. I dropped mine in a parking lot after hitting a gravel patch. Man was I pissed the fuck off but it bent the peg (nice excuse to get aftermarket ones), dinged the front faring, scratched the bar end, scratched the mirror end, and scratched those black intake looking pieces. Frame slider would not have prevented any of that from happening. I just figure in the event of a high speed crash, they won't be saving anything that wouldn't already have been fucked up with the exception of the engine. To be honest, in a high speed crash, I give 2 fucks about the bike. I just want to live. I may get frame sliders one day, but I'll invest in better gear first.

Well with any exhaust change or air intake change u have the re jet the carbs. The problem is that u are getting more air then fuel. The fuel to air mixture will be messed up and the back pressure is greater with no baffles. My advice is put in the stage 1 jet kit and re tune ur carbs. I have cobra straight pipes and the stage 1 jet kit and did not remove the ais system. This is the easiest thing I can tell u to do.

Well thank you all for all the help

Cosmetically it really cleans up the engine. Also supposed to reduce popping with aftermarket or gutted pipes. Super easy project

Tried this with my old 650,but got rid of the snap,crackle,and pop by just having the carbs re adjusted.Who ever done the V&H said they had re jetted which turned out not to be true so had it re jetted and put in a K&N air filter run great.Wish I had kept it.A 1000 mile trip on the 650 versus on my 1100 the 650 kept up with the bigger bikes and I was not tired,of course I am old.

Cleans up the look of the motor. And Slight Performance inhance. Sscustomcycle. Com has a kit to do it correctly

She's a rigid

Say it isn't so man? Did what did you get?

Nothing yet Ryan Juhnke. I'm looking at the V-star 1100's and still the Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic's. Just got done riding my XS650.

Ya. I figured if I went to some bike meets I'll get to hear them and then I can decide

My pipes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=el-obTFeCHI&list=TL VTwPiSqirmlSej9GUqfpM0qcviuwPHz4

I put the baffles back in, as the wife hated how loud it was as passenger.

Hope it helps

Thank you

What you have sounds like a 2 stroke running lean. This will cause a high idle and the bog off of idle. It will also cause damage to the cylinder if you ride it like that.

If it was running ok before, and it has only just started doing it now, you most likely have an air leak in the intake, or a bad base gasket or crankshaft seal. to test if you have an air leak or a bad base gasket, start the bike and let it idle and spray WD-40 on areas you think could be leaking, such as:

The intake boot between the carb and the engine

The base gasket (between the cylinder and the crank case)

the reed block area

When your bike idles down to normal, you are spraying on the leak. Replace or tighten the leaky part and it should get better.

If it doesn't Idle down it could be a dirty carb (something in the jet) or a crankshaft seal.

Nigel is an awesome player! Tell him hello for me. Yeah--I think this situation with the pedal is what this group is about. Anything I can do to help out, I'm glad too. Understand there's a lot of passion and emotion with all of us, so sometimes things can get a little heated. That's ok. In the end we're in it together and will sort it out. Bass on!!

yeah. nigel's playing 6 string for his old band "dare" with darren wharton from thin lizzy

One of my friends, Vinnie Burns, was the guitarist for Dare for a while. Great guitarist.

BBC favourite Prof Brian Cox was also the keyboardist many moons ago.

Our dealer is really going to bat for us on this issue. Highly recommend Boaters Exchange in Rockledge FL. Yamaha knew full well they were discontinued after Clarion USA told them. They purchased them from Clarion Japan anyway.

Nice to hear about a good Dealer experience! Let us know what they come up with!
