I dont think he was implying the driver of the S-10 was poaching but rather he hit it by accident? I've already had two close calls this fall.

I also want a set of wavy style rotors to go with my new wheels. I would love to only have to spend $140.00 on a pair but I have to wonder about the quality of those. Will they warp or wear prematurely compared to a set of Galfers? Wish I knew!

Nothing connects to the smaller one, not even sure what Yamaha had in mind for it to be honest. Lets assume Yamaha actually cleaned and set up your carbs correctly. I would replace the plug wires as they tend to corrode and break down over time and its one of the few things you have left to...

Well it certainly looks like the little guy was enjoying it. How much did you enjoy cleaning up...or was that moms job? :biglaugh:

Not knowing what my insurance rates would be is the primary reason I didn't pull the trigger on one. I did get a quote for $267.00 a year for an '08 Busa though, I figured since they traditionally have high rates it would be a good place to start. I'm sure since the Max is more expensive it...

87 is good.

If I understand which hoses you are referring to they belong up top. I attached a couple pics to show how they are mounted from the factory.

Usually the intake manifold consists of the plenum and intake runners. Some setups use seperate pieces though. On a carb setup you usually see an order such as carb-plenum-intake runners-head. EFI is commonly air intake-plenum-injectors-intake runners-head.

If you've ever looked at an intake manifold with the carb removed it would be the area directly below where the carb bolts on that leads into the intake runners. Of course an EFI equipped vehicle differs a little in design but you get the idea.

Dont sweat the language thing, I have no trouble understanding what you're trying to say. That's more than I can say for some native english speaking people I know! :bang head: As far as the spun bearing, are they going to try tp repair the case or replace it? It looks to me to be in pretty...

Been there done that. You won't realize how much smoother the bike can run until those carbs are truly clean.

Yeah it's a ******* machine that I just paid 17k for! If they want to ride it to make sure everything is functioning thats one thing but were talking about some tech taking it out and nailing it just for kicks. I paid the big bucks for that privilage not the mechanic that assembled it. I wonder...

http://www.brakeawayproducts.com/appguide-5CP02.html Oooh I like the looks of that throttle lock! Clean with no ugly bolts/nuts sticking out...almost cant tell its there. Do you happen to know if it holds well? Hell after watching the video I may have to plop down the 2 bills for one anyway!

Even following the aforementioned instructions you may still find the tank is hard to remove, mine was but it did come out. The worst part was getting it back in without gouging the fresh paint...yes I know it wont be seen but I'm like that. :confused2:

According to starmotorcycles website the 85 & 86 tanks are the same part number. I noticed most online parts stores dont list the 85 so you might just check the numbers on starmotorcycles for reference. I'd imagine most parts will be the same as an 86 though. I do believe there is a plastic...

What I like is the video of the guy lighting up the rear tire exiting corners. The thing must have craploads of power all over the rev range!

I've had nasty carb problems due to tank rust before and can say with confidence that Max carbs are some touchy bastards. Mine was a very fine powder like rust that was actually going through the filter and collecting in the float bowls which was then clumping up and causing havoc. If you have...

Well thats great news but how do you know this? If you've got some real world performance numbers then don't keep us in suspense man! :biglaugh:

After finding dead critters in the airbox I would be checking all the rubber and electrical wiring for gnawing cuz those little bastards love to eat **** they shouldn't! You may want to run the "shotgun" at least initially and of course make sure all the boots aren't splitting. I would do an...

I have an '02 and when I had the original battery it could sit for a few days at most. Replaced it with an Odyssey and now it can sit all winter and it'll fire right up like it was ran the day before. On an older bike I would definately do the simpler electrical "fixes" before anything else. I...
