    This is what I'm talking about. Anyone have a pic of one installed?

    Instrument after market cover

    I've come across what looks to be either a polished aluminum or chrome instrument cover (genuine Yamaha part). It goes over the stock plastic cover. Never seen one before anyone have one? are they rare?

    Throttle play

    Not sure if this is the best place for this question...so if it isn't my apologies. Is it normal to have some negative play on the throttle? What I mean is, I can turn my throttle in reverse slightly with a little effort twisting action. When I do this the rpm's can drop by about 200. When i let...

    Popping at Exhaust when Cold

    Okay, I never had the issue before redoing the carbs and adding the slipons. I'll check the plugs to see if they are set up right and the colour. If they look good I'll then play with the A/F screws a little. I'll sync everything again and see if things change. I don't think it is a big...

    Popping at Exhaust when Cold

    That would make sense! Gas is old. I always run a little sea foam in my gas on a pretty regular basis but like I said the gas is from last year. I'll go shoot some fresh stuff in and see if the popping goes away. Good idea.

    Popping at Exhaust when Cold

    I recently got my bike back on the road after a long winter and after a few mods and have noticed a little popping at the exhaust when I start the bike up. It seems to go away after a minute or two. The carbs have all been gone through, cleaned and worn parts replaced, new battery, plugs...

    Stator?

    Okay. Thanks everyone for all the help. Based on multiple tests of the new battery it clearly shows that it is faulty. Battery will charge up but drops down to 10.5 - 11.0 volts within 5 or so seconds of the ignition switch being turned on. I also checked the paracidic draw and got a reading of...

    Stator?

    I am also wondering now if I have some kind of short in my system that is drawing power from the battery overnight. With my lawn mower battery hooked up to the bike with the ignition turned off of course, I lost 0.05v over a 4 hour period. It went from 12.86v down to 12.81. Is this normal? I...

    Stator?

    Couldn't tell you as the damn balistic battery wont even start the bike now even when it is fully charged. As soon as I turn the key on the volts start to fall quickly and when I hit the start button is turns over maybe two times and then starts clicking. Note: I did put the battery in my...

    Stator?

    Okay, so I went to start the bike this morning to get some reading. I checked the battery before I started the bike and it read 13.69 (Balistic Evo2 battery brand new as of Friday). Turned the key on and the bike turned over a couple of turns but no start. Checked battery voltage...it read...

    Stator?

    Looking for opinions. Bike looks to be draining the battery when it heats up and the fan comes on. When at a light and the fan switches on the idle starts to falter. When I simulate it in the garage ( let the bike run to warm and the fan kicks in) with a multi-meter on the battery it clearly...

    BellyPan vs. Lowering

    Here is a pic of my bike that has been lowered by 1.5 inches front and back and has a belly pan...more of a chin than a pan. I found that when I lowered the bike it was mostly noticeable at the rear wheel (the gap disappeared) and it gave the bike a longer look. By installing the pan it just...
