Just talked to the dealer. They checked the cylinder position sensor and said it wasn't functioning properly. They have ordered a new one at $141 and are HOPING this will fix the problem. Fingers crossed. They said the rear brake pedal was fine. I really don't have a lot of confidence in what...

Hey Ray, hope you are doing well. The pedal has never apart or lubed. Now that I think of it, when I pulled into the gas station I did brake relatively hard, probably the hardest since the brake job. I have sent this info over to the dealer and they are working on it, still. Hopefully good news...

It is locked in the dealers shop right now so I cant get at it as they are closed today. As soon as you turn the key to the on position before pushing the start button, the number 11 shows in the LCD. Not proceeded with an SH at all. I am going to drop by the dealer first thing tomorrow and have...

When I spoke to the dealer on Friday afternoon he said they tried to go in and access the history and could not, nor were they able to delete the code. I tried myself before I took it there and couldn't either, so I thought they knew something I didn't. Apparently not.

Finally took it to the dealership and there it sits for the past 3 days. They are calling me telling me everything I already know and say tomorrow they are going to call Yamaha if they can't diagnose it. Started with bike running fine, gassed up and upon restarting, the check engine light came...

That thing doesn't take long going from 40-80.

My wife and daughter decided they wanted to ride about 4 years ago. I bought a Honda xr80 and taught them them the basics in a quiet area at a local park over the course of a month. My daughter decided it wasn't for her which was a huge relief, and my wife went on to take the training course...

Home safe and sound, was going to take the slow scenic route home, but at 30 plus degrees the highway kept the air moving enough to keep comfortable. Was nice to meet a group of people with similar interests and to put faces to all the forum names. Thanks to all the people who organize these...

My AE will do the same thing. I notice it especially if I am coming to a stop and I am just about to the point where I put my foot down, and the light changes to green and catches me a little off guard. The clunk in mine is a combination of the driveline slack being taken up from the clutch...

Thinking of heading out. Anyone that is heading out best to check on Hwy 6 south that takes you directly into Dover. I was out there on the long weekend and they had Hwy 6 torn up for about 12 km between Dover and Jarvis, and I doubt they are finished. It was brutal, with the road taken right...

I had a dent that compressed the pipe in half where 2 go into 1 ahead of the cat. Replaced the header and it ran noticably better and cooler, and not always second guessing should I do it.

This is my 4th summer with my AE. There is certainly a learning curve with the AE and low speed riding. I remember the day a riding buddy (ST1300 rider) wanted to try my bike as we were headed from Niagara on the Lake to Niagara Falls. We got to Niagara Falls fine, but when riding in heavy...

I really like how he convinced his wife to do that with him. I am sure he will soon be making another video about how to wash the interior of your truck.

Been years since I have had something "follow me home, firmly between my thighs". Have fun with the new ride.

Mine does the same thing especially if you try and pull away slowly when it is cold. I just drive it.
