    CCT

    What model year did Yamaha bring in the 'new improved CCT'? ... the one with the dot of paint on it (blue/green?). Most of the discussion I've seen vis a vis early replacement has been confined to Gen 1 and early Gen 2 (2007 and prior).

    DIY Air Deflectors

    This is what happens when you have too much time on your hands! Actually turned out OK and surprisingly they work great. Will have to remove in the summer heat, but great for Spring and Fall.

    Why Shipping to "the lower 48" Only?

    I often see stuff for sale stipulating "the lower 48" only? Buyer almost always seems to be on the hook for shipping so why the problem with shipping outside the "lower 48". What am I missing here?

    Spot Mount

    I'm thinking of putting my spot cradle (from Ram) here, but it seems there are so many choices from ram and I'm not sure of the thread diameter. Appreciate any suggestions.

    Saddlebag Screws

    It only took 12 years and 1,000 warnings, but I finally found the time to check the screws on my saddlebag locks. Its true! they were all loose and one had backed out a 1/4". Loctite is your friend.

    Mityvac?

    So, I'm planning to do the clutch and the brakes this week. I was just going to unscrew and replace the old bleeders with a little grease on the threads of the speed bleeders (to keep out air?) . Am I doing this right? Also,does it make any sense to use a mityvac with the speed...

    2014 Western Ride Plans

    One leg of my preliminary plans takes me from Kalispell up to Creston BC. I've noticed what appears to be a very nice route from Libby up the west side of Lake Koocanusa (Nf-228 / Nf-92) up to Yaak River Road and west to 508. I can see from Google earth it's two lane paved and very remote...

    My OEM yuasa is 5 1/2 years old and shows 13.2 volts at rest. When riding it shows up to 13.8 volts. Is it time to replace or do you think it's good for the rest of this season...2-3months?

    This can't be good?

    Today I bled my son's MX brakes using my deluxe Mighty Vac. I emptied the container between each brake and moved on to bleed the FJR clutch. All went well until I emptied the mighty vac container and then I noticed this residue in the bottom? It's not dirt and I'm pretty sure it came from the...
