Bump it up for a clean rider

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/mcy/4933100914.html Bike runs great, no surprises. Has upgraded stainless steel lines, Galfer rotors, Corbin seat. Bike is in pretty good shape. Also has a battery tender hookup. May consider some trades, ls1 vehicles, nice 5.0 foxbody, cash+? Any vehicles...

I could barely read the email exchange. Typically, if someone can't create sentences, they're not someone I want to do business with.

Also wanted to bump this. I bought a set of the tourmasters but cannot for the life of me figure where/how to use the clip straps on them. Also, I have the stock sissy bar on the back, and with my Corbin seat, the bags sit pretty far forward, almost covering the gas cap top.

I guess my question would be, would it get gunked up after having no issues just 2 weeks prior? There was constantly fluid in it, then closed off. I'm tired of dealing with it and would rather replace it, know that it's ready to roll and be able to try to squeeze a few more weeks out of it.

So my front brakes had zero stopping power and a friend of mine helped rebuild the master. MUch much better feel. I had previously attempted to bleed the rear brakes (even though they were in fine working condition, would almost stop the bike, even without the front brake), but after they...

Will do, didn't see anything that would indicate anything really, so I had no idea. Thanks, fellas.

Hmmm, does it matter what position it's set in? I saw in the FAQ for new owners, just wasn't sure if that was what it was.

Looks like a small aftermarket switch, on the left side, just above the left scoop. I haven't messed with it because I have no idea what it is for. I've looked on here to see if on any other bikes, and didn't see any. Any ideas what it could be?

I was actually going to swap this Yamaha dealer seat w/ mine if I could sell my current seat for more, haha.

Hmm. I guess I never looked to see if my currentCorbin seat has the backrest hardware. I was going to pick this one up, mainyl because I like the way it looks more than mine. What would be a decent price to pick it up for?

I was looking through some classifieds and came across a Corbin seat for a first gen Vmax. I currently have a Corbin on my first gen, but this one has a different texture, like a diamond pattern. It had a black tag on the back that read: YAMAHA Genuine Accessories by Corbin It looks older...

So I was having an issue w/ the amount of travel on the front brakes of my 91 Vmax. The rear brake seemed to be ok. Well, I attempted to bleed the front brakes w/ no success at getting any better "feel" from them. No better, no worse. I then attempted to bleed the rear, which, for some reason...

Talked w/ my dad and brother, both seem to think it just needs to be bled. Is there a how-to video/write-up on the site?

I'd prefer not to upgrade, as this is kind of a cheap option for me as a purchase, trying to keep it in good, running (safe!) condition. Well, the work was completed in march 2012, roughly 2k miles have been put on since then. I'm thinking the dealer will tell me to pound sand, but I"m going...
