    Exactrep

    I have ordered an exhaust and a headlight setup and had no issues at all and rather quick delivery both times being they are in England. They are not a fly by night business. Probably just an abnormal glitch.

    Solinoid rapid clicking but starter not turning over

    Always the 1st thing to check is the battery connections. They do get loose on a lot on most bikes. Have had this happen on a number of different bikes, my own and many others as well.

    Will Smith slaps Chris Rock 20 times, video.

    Would Will Smith have gone up on stage if it had been The Rock and not little Chris Rock? Great example of misplaced aggression. His woman has emasculated him so he goes after the little guy. It is Hollywood and Chris Rock is a comedian, get over it.

    Moore Mafia Flash!

    If Yamaha ran the numbers on a dyno, which numbers do you think they would choose to use in advertising literature? The highs or lows? They will use whatever parameters suit them at the time. Anyone who gets their vehicle uses the high numbers. Then factor in why Yamaha detunes the bike...

    How many straps do you use?

    I use front wheel chock, 2 soft short straps to go around forks, then 1 ratcheting strap on each side of bike attached to the soft straps. Then a ratcheting strap on each side of rear wheel to stop any movement. Bought a winch type loader for my truck but haven't decided if it is better to put...

    FJ1300 Goods / Bads

    I owned 4 FJs and a 2006 FJR. Excellent super reliable bikes. If you want one with all the bells and whistles, get a 2016+. If those are not important to you, a 2006+ is also top notch. They are really quick, handle well and can tour at high speed all day without issue. I also had a uniwheel...

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    I am an underground Heavy Duty Equipment Mechanic and normally use Craftsman or other similar boxes over the years but after being inspired to become a licensed Motorcycle Mechanic in 2014 by Kyle and some friends in Mexico and Panama, I decided to treat myself to a bottom Yamaha blue 40 inch...

    Best customization

    Depends on your preferred riding style. Personally, I like touring so a larger gas tank and bags are my preference although I love to see all of the mods and redesigns that both generations offer to us such as drag bikes, cafe racers, fat tire bikes and wild paint schemes to name a few. I...

    $1000 Harley ad Jacksonville FL

    I have driven a few. They are junk. No power and horribly made. The Harley dealer I worked at couldn't sell them.

    Expert advice needed on Ohlins shocks

    I ran Ohlins on my 2001 and of course you can use them without setting them up; same as if you chose to have a passenger. It is your option to adjust them for specific riding circumstancea such as your own weight, passengers, gear, road conditions, etc. From my own experience, I didn't see...

    fuel tanks

    The only real problems I had was (1)actually fitting the tank and rear sub-frame in but a friend helped (2) customizing the inner plastic rear tire guard and (3) fitting the LH side cover afterwards. I personally think it is a lot for an inexperienced tinkerer. Kind of like a puzzle without...

    1985 vmax main fuse keeps blowing. What should I check first?

    Try narrowing down which system is kicking it out by adding fuses until you have it. Also make sure battery connections/grounds are good and tight.

    IRON WHAT ?IRON ******* MAIDEN THATS WHAT!

    I saw Anvil a few years ago at a heavy metal bar in Sudbury. They are so good still. Awesome metal band.
