For mine I trimmed off the return portion of the bracket that Jim used to anchor his. Then I drilled a small hole in it and drilled and tapped the thick part of the throttle cable housing. I used a screw that was short enough to be flush with the inside of the housing so it doesn’t interfere...

Looks like you have a good list together. Not to stir up the oil debate, but in my personal experience, I have been using the AP yamalube that is recommended. My main reason is because Yamaha offers a 20yr/100,000 mile motor warranty if the regular maintenance is done with the yamalube spec...

Good to know. I was also thinking that the bike parts would be more difficult to handle since they are smaller. I think it would be easier to wrap a car door that is stationary rather than a fender that is off the bike.

I currently have a shinko verge on the rear and the Bridgestone on the front. I have no complaints and have never felt uneasy in the corners. I have about 4K on this setup and they are wearing nicely. I can’t recommend the shinko front tire since I was in the group with the people that had...

Thanks, I figured that a factory paint would be ok, but I didn’t want to mess anything up. I’ll look into the expel.

Has anyone used vinyl wrap on their fenders and top cover? Specifically, the matte finish of the 2020 model. I’m curious if the matte paint causes any issues with removal down the road. I’d like to wrap my fenders and top cover to both protect them and change the color. Anybody have experience...

+1 for the balance beads. They work great.

Thanks, it looks good.

Nice! Where did you get the wheels?

Still trying to eliminate the miss on my bike. I have replaced the plugs, ran seafoam through two tanks of fuel and leak checked the joints on the exhaust. The exhaust gaskets didn’t show any leaks but of course where the pipes slip together did. The bike runs strong but this part throttle miss...

I just retorqued the exhaust bolts from the exhaust swap and everything is to spec. With new plugs and the miss is still there I don’t know where to look next. Does anyone have ideas?

Well, I changed the plugs (that was fun🙄) and put some injector cleaner in the tank but the miss is still there. I have also noticed a slight pop on decel from higher rpm. Any ideas on what to try next?

Thanks for all the replies. Sounds like I can get it done without messing with the hoses. Less is better since I’m working with big hands in small spaces. 😁

I am going to swap my spark plugs tomorrow hopefully and my question is for the ones that removed the upper radiator hose to access the front plug. Is there coolant still in this line or does it drain into the radiator when the motor sits? Just would like a heads up if I’ll need a bucket or not.

I haven’t dealt with the dominator mid pipe, but the exup valve is inside the cat. When I installed my hindle system and removed the cat I just disconnected the cables from the exup motor behind the rear fender and left the motor.

No auto tune. Plugs are cheap enough to replace early, I just didn’t want to tackle that project until absolutely necessary.

I have searched and the only thing I came up with is that I might need to replace my spark plugs. Here’s the story: I recently replaced the factory exhaust with the Hindle dual setup and had my ecu reflashed (Nash flash) from ‘stock performance’ to the correct one for the new exhaust. I didn’t...

I’m in the same boat, I didn’t get any with my first flash but that was when Tim was dealing with health issues. I asked for some black ones when I got a reflash a couple weeks ago but didn’t get them then either.

Wow! Those Vance mesh jackets are identical in design to the Joe Rocket I’ve had for years. I wonder if Joe Rocket sold the design to Vance leathers since I can’t seem to find any of the JR in stock anywhere. This might be an option if they’ve discontinued the JR. Thanks Graham

It looks like Fieldsheer no longer makes motorcycle jackets, according to their website, but I did see some listed on Amazon. Looks like a nice option.
