Just curious, what brand of fork seals did you install? Yamaha, or something else? I used some store brand fork seals on two of my kids dirt bikes a couple years ago and they both leaked like a sieve. Replacing them with factory seals fixed it.

public service announcement... I bought a handful of Purolator L14610 filters a while back. I read a cross reference sheet that said these will fit. There was no leak after the oil change but a week later I took a 500 mile ride and returned to find a puddle of oil under my bike in the garage...

So did the video show anything? That does not look like a key mark to me. It looks like the bag made contact with something, very likely by accident. (either your accident or someone else's).

Let the fun begin!

Well done. The AE sure is a pleasure to ride!

Also, check your brake pedal (right foot). Lube it. These tend to get sticky over time and cause the brake pedal to stick, so the brake light stays on. This confuses the YCCS and will cause an error because the computer thinks, why does this guy want to accelerate when the brake is on?

For real? That's a shame. Plenty of folks on here would happily help him troubleshoot it.

The bike won't shift out of neutral if your RPMs are too high. Make sure your idle RPM is set properly. The sidestand must be up. The brake must be applied. Makes sure your brake light is lighting up when you squeeze the brake handle.

Looks nice! I already have an older toy hauler but I like the separate cargo/living arrangement on this one. Good luck!

Well said. I agree with this. In short, any bubbles in the clutch fluid will cause the computer to become confused. It's extremely important to make sure the system is bled well.

Great update.

Amazing rider! "For sale, low miles, adult ridden" ha ha ha

Thanks for the correction. If I'm understanding his pricing chart correctly, here is the corrected list. I found the Sargent site and included a link for it as well. I wish these links (and more) could be in a comprehensive sticky somewhere. I've wondered about seats and options and prices...

I feel like I'm missing something. Is a cheaper option available for a Russell seat? I looked up web prices for seats and provided the links below. These were the most inexpensive, no-frills options I could find for each seat. Please correct these if I have misstated them. $540 Russell FJR...

Quick tip, don't worry about damaging the clutch or transmission. The YCCS system won't let it happen. It will feather the clutch on downshifts if you're revving too high. Try it on an open road and see what I mean. Upshifts can be made more smooth with higher revs, or with practiced...

That blue fits in nicely with fall colors, don't you think?

Thanks for sharing your work. Those planes stir the heart, and your photography skills are impressive.

Hooray! The 2018 BMR Rally was my first rally ever. It was a lot of fun. I was able to pick and choose where and when I went, on my own time, and got me out on the bike on days that I wouldn't have ridden otherwise. Living in Arizona, the new start and end dates are a bummer but I'm excited...
