    Flickering Nuetral light in other gears

    Looked down while riding and noticed that the nuetral light was flickering. I'm assuming that I just got bit by the ground bug.

    More comfortable ride for me

    Over the Minnesota winter I made some changes to my '07 that have resulted in a vastly more comfortable ride for me. I have arthritis in both knees and subscribe to periodic injections and chronic use of Ibuprofen. Last year if I did 300 miles, I'd pay for it with sore hand, wrists, forearms...

    What to expect when

    The PO removed the center stand and installed a lowering kit. I'm taking off the lowering kit, going back to the stock dog-bones, and putting the center stand back on. I can suspend the bike with an engine hoist. Is it necessary to remove the bottom of the shock in order to get the lowering kit...

    Fork differences 05 versus 07

    My research shows that the Gen II (07) fork has an additional damper compared to the Gen I (05). My question is, will I notice the difference? I don't ride the twistys like I did 30 years ago in fact my nerves give out way before the bike does. The reason I ask is that I found a big dent in one...

    Fluid leak up front - brake fluid or fork oil?

    After a couple of thousand miles on the repaired 07, I'm getting some puddling in the driveway below the front fork / brake area. I first thought it was brake fluild but could not find the source. Yesterday I noticed a drop forming on the compression dampening adjuster on the fork bottom. It...

    Yamaha Top Box mount

    I have discovered that it is important to mount the top box mount to a rack that is tied into the 5 mounting points. Background: I'm the guy that rebuilt the 07 repairable in March. The rear sub-frame was cracked probably when it did its barrel roll and took out the rear rack. I have the cracks...

    Couple of questions for the experts - 07

    This is about the bike that I'm repairing. I discovered that the bike has a lowering kit installed which probably explaines why the center stand is absent. Is a new rear shock and/or spring a part of the lowering kit? If someone could give me a measurement, say center to center of the stock arms...

    No Head Lights - 07

    Just discovered my head lights do not work, neither beam. The dimmer relay sounds like its toggling when hi/lo is selected. All other lights are working and other electrics appear fine. Fuses are intact. Where exactly is the head light relay? Help

    Fasteners - Aftermarket

    Reveived the big order of part for the 07. I certrainly did not realize the extent of spring nut use in the front cowlings. Is there a source for these expensive little devils? $3.00 for the screw and spring nut. Also, what about the plastic push in fasteners that seem to be used a great deal...
