Sounds good. I used it, we'll see if my o-rings start to disintegrate lmao.

Is this the correct stuff? I've never used kerosene, but cans of chain cleaner are getting expensive lol. Thanks in advanced!

This is very good info. I did springs and gve's before this season started but haven't actually done the sag, partially due to laziness and partially due to no helper lol. I will say though, front brake dive is almost non-existent now which is 100x better and the bike seems more planted in the...

I'd just change it now. It's cheap enough to replace even if there's a couple thousand miles left in it. I changed my clutch cable and both throttle cables over this past winter. 40k miles on the bike and idk if the previous owner ever changed them so peace of mind for me at the very least and a...

Ebay most likely is your best bet. I just got one like a month ago. Idk if ebay.ca will have what you want so shipping might suck from the US. I paid $35 USD with free shipping, US to US for reference.

I used the yamalube coolant when I did mine last year. Figured yamaha coolant in a yamaha bike can't be bad lol. Comes pre-mixed.

Bought, thank you @motopete. Can't wait to get my bike back together!

I meant that this is the "for sale" forum, not "looking to buy" forum.

Looking for both sides of the headlight mole. I tried to repair mine which was fine, but then I used bake on paint and they kind of melted. Live and learn. Lots of people have converted to naked so hopefully someone has these as new ones are expensive lol. Spring is coming quick! Link for part...

Part it out, you can probably make more than $500. If you go that route I'd be interested in a couple things.

I bought my 09 with about 30k miles for $2900 last year in the early spring. Sounds like a decent enough deal to me. I put almost 6k miles on it my first season. I live in Vermont so roughly 6 months of decent weather to ride. And I don't ride if i know its going to rain. Mine runs like a top...

Well maybe 1/4 inch . But either way the esthetics of it bothers me a bit so I'll have to do something. I'm more concerned about finding the raven black metallic paint (or something very close) that isn't stupidly expensive to redo the rear grab bars, 1st owner attached bungee cords to them by...

I got one on mine at the start of the season this year as well. Much better than stock. I can easily go twice as long on the shad over the stock seat. Only thing I can complain about the fitment is the rear of the seat sticks up like a 1/2 inch. I never have a passenger but having one for a few...

Right on, I'll double check the slack.

Yup I didn't mention it but I did fill the tank with ethanol free gas and stabilizer, thank you for checking! Yeah I also like the black; I'm not really into some of the neon colors a lot of bikes have lol. I will give the chain slack a check next time I'm at the barn where I have it stored...
