Show us the connector, not just the boot but I believe that is the obdii connector.  That plug connects to the mama-yamaha computer.  AND, that is where you can connect a dongle that makes the connector a standard obdii connector so you can hook up standard handheld code readers.

Ghostbusters had a show where the  golf ball dimpled car actually moved through the wind more easily and got better mileage than the smooth car.  MATTE blue is the fastest.   :D :D :D

Congrats!  You did indeed get the fastest color ever built!!!

I got a generic code reader with reset function off ebay just a month or so ago.  Resets MIL just fine...

My 2018 still has copious amounts of engine braking.  However, I've had instructors and life lessons that taught the brakes are for stopping and the motor is for giddy-up-and-go.  Have you ever missed a downshift or caught a false neutral?  Doing so whilst going into a high speed turn and...

Ride report! Did the usual after-work route and the bike didn't need to be pushed hard to turn in to the right and it held the corner better too. I just weighed my stock battery and it was 11 lbs. The LI battery just installed weighs 2 lbs. One has to surmise losing 9 lbs way up high and a foot...

Anybody have a set of stock headers laying around they could weigh?   I wanna know if I can have 2 burritos for lunch! With that said, I'm thinking they actually may help with reducing the top-heaviness of the bike by having all that weight as low as it can go.  Removing them may hurt handling!

Dropped the triple clamps to 8mm below the top of the fork tube cap.  Prior to that, the bike was hesitant to lean into the turn.  The leaning motion is now more fluid and more predictable, albeit much faster than stock.  I still can't believe the Yamaha "engineers"  put a 14lb battery way up...

thanks all...   I may go to a LI batt  to get rid of that hunk of lead up in the fairing instead...

Looking at installing the Delkevic full exhaust. Headers + cans to eliminate some weight and get rid of the HOT CC. (Of course, this will be used for closed course, off road racing only) Is this going to be a waste of time and money? The weight savings is just to make the expenditure more...

Don't wait if you can get it done now.  Pain free is so cool...

Sold my 2013 on this board due to shoulder issues.  A very cool Surgeon in the PAC NW sawed off the bad parts and installed some chromoly bits.  Finally found a left-over 2018 and now I'm back!  Just about 125 miles of break-in under my belt.  IMHO, the new trans shifts very smoothly, she is...

I binned it on my e-bike going at a slower pace.  Hit the ground hard with my un-helmeted head and missed a boulder in the sand by about 1".   Becoming a useless, drooling invalid was never on my bucket list so I bought a Bell full face MTB helmet.  Now I can save my one good tooth too!

If you can get there in person, I think you might be able to get a deal done, but not before > $1000 in add-ons.  Being asked to wire a large sum of money with no sales order/sales contract was a big red flag for me.  As always, YMMV.

HAD a deal working with this disaster of a seller.  Would not send me a signed sales contract showing VIN and agreed upon sales price, so no way I'm wiring 12K for something loosely and vaguely documented in an email.  Their extras/add-ons of prep, freight, doc and office fees were over $1000...
