Check the tire pressure recommended by the Tire Manf, not Yamaha. I would also run a little on the higher end of the spectrum, especially on the rear tire, given the total weight you're carrying.

if your battery is bad, it may put out enough juice to turn the dash on, but not kick the starter over. Your battery may have blown. If you try to jump the bike from another bike, will it start?

Hey Ion... you get the prize. I dound a local repair shop. He plugged the bike into his gas analyzer/gizmo box which reported a bad injector. Question: He offered a complete service on the bike for $250 (change all fluids...once over all seals..flush hydraulics..etc) and he would also take the...

LOL... actually, I had another thread way back when the incident happened.. you mean you don't remember? lol The vibes were present before the incident though. Anyway... I got sideswiped on the right side by a car travelling at 10 mph. (we just pulled away at the light and he went left and...

Hey, Thanks...I'm going to check this out. Last night I pulled the plugs to check them again. They're all pretty good I think. The #3 plug was ever so slightly differently colored than the others. But they all had a white tip and the base was black. I touched the TB of #3 and it rode smoother...

ok... entirely possible I just f'd up... I'm sorry if I did. yes... the idea is that the fan pulls fresh air through the radiator. (in fact, didn't the Goldwing have this issue originally? Where they reversed the fan in slow traffic and they were symptomatically overheating?)

Yassou Tikanis The fan should blow the air to the radiator. My readout is normally 3, but goes to 4 in traffic.

Thanks Radman! I'll try this next. Great idea!

Thank you! I didn't gap the plugs, as per mention on the board, but I'll try swapping the injectors. I don't recall anymore for certain, but I believe I had the vibes before the incident. I tried techron, no change also I recently checked the air filter and it was really clean in there. I'll...

I'll try that as well. I was concerned about the plug fouling...? I don't know. Does anyone know a good wrench in the NYC area?

I changed the plugs, but it didn't help. What's next? The wire or is there more to it than that? What parts do I need to order? Thanks

I'm getting a lot of vibration in my handlebars and the #3 plug fouling. A friend said it coulod be the ignition point and suggested test/changing the wire+point. I looked on metricparts and saw a plug cap assy. Is this what he was referring to? Do I need anything else to do this? Your help...

Hey JP, If you find an 03 silver saddlebag in good shape... I'd split the cost with you. I soft landed on the right side and while the bag works, the lid looks ugly. I guess I could have it repainted and all... anyway, let me know.
