    Interesting Find

    Thanks for the heads-up on the LEDs, I'll look into that. Although, I don't think I'll ever turn that on other than for entertaining the lads in the garage over beers. Good ideas for the fuse block. BTW... NB - New Brunswick NS - Nova Scotia

    Hindle Swap

    Here is the ECU that came with the bike. Hindle 4 into 2 Exhaust System with Modified Air Box Version 2: https://guruedgear.com/ecu-re-flash-service-hindle-4-into-2-with-mab-ver-2.html I'm waiting to hear back from their crew to see what the impact may be with this flash and the exhaust swap.

    Interesting Find

    I did some poking around a new-to-me 2010 and found this little switch behind the tool kit panel with an associated Fuzeblocks FZ-1. I figured it was a hidden ignition disable switch or another potentially useful addition. Unfortunately, the red glow below the bike suggested otherwise...

    Hindle Swap

    I currently have 2X Titanium Supersports, which I find too loud, and they're annoying my neighbors. I talked to Alison Hindle, and she suggested I swap the cores to the Stealth muffler core and can even add their noise reducer inserts as well. Has anyone gone from the Supersports to the...

    Buying a 1st gen with mods. Need opinions on price.

    Do a search here and elsewhere for the second gear issue. You can't really hide it, as it will become apparent during a drive. Is that the whole ad? I don't see a mention of the mileage. You'll read about some making past 100k miles, so actual mileage is likely less important than care/abuse &...

    Headlight Bulb Replacement

    I went with a cheap LED for now: https://amzn.to/3WawnQ9; pending something with more performance when I have more time to consider some options. For example, Morely sells a high-output halogen bulb that I may get depending on how I like the LED. I'm still not a fan of the look of LEDs coming...

    Headlight Bulb Replacement

    The high beam filament on my headlight has burned out. 8V0-84314-10-00, 8V0-84314-G0-00, and 5V2-84314-00-XX all seem to be the same OEM-like replacement bulb and are available from various sources. There are also many LEDs suggested as alternatives that pop up as well. What is the...

    OEM Keys

    I'm sure this has been discussed to death, but I couldn't find anything specific here. What is the point of this ridiculous key? The manual seems to indicate both the normal size black and the large round black key are identical in function. Is this actually the case? If so, why the...

    After a couple of initial runs, "wonderfully terrifying" is my new expression when people ask me about it. Or perhaps it should be terrifyingly wonderful... 🤔

    Fuel Leak Part II - Completely stumped.

    If you end up buying a new tank, consider getting one of the plus-sized ones available. https://www.v-max-f-maerz.de/vmaxkatalog/750_en.html http://www.exactrep.com/acatalog/touring.html Morely's likely has a clever setup for you as well: https://morleysmuscle.com/

    Fuel Leak Part II - Completely stumped.

    I bet it's leaking from that seam weld between the two halves of the tank.

    They're Reproducing

    I only joined on Dec 18th with a 97 needing some attention, but an opportunity presented itself when one of our circle here moved across the country with a 2010 in tow and decided to sell.

    Yamaha Letter of Certification for Importation to Canada

    Here's what arrived via mail drop today. That should do the trick. Pretty straightforward, as long as you use the term "Letter of Manufacture."
