    Hit and run caught on gopro

    Awesome that you got him on video. Hope your injuries aren't too severe. But don't post anything about your injuries until your insurance is all sorted out.

    Front brake light switch install problem

    Okay. I solved my own problem. I removed the master cylinder which was very easy. I must have broken off the tab when I was removing the original switch. I pried it out with a small screwdriver. The switch went in easily. Hole plugged up Broken tab removed

    Dual headlight made simple???

    I've been trying to read all the dual headlight posts but I think I'm missing something. Wouldn't it be easy to to attach a wire from the hot low beam lead on the left bulb to the low beam terminal on the right?

    Front brake light switch install problem

    I checked the serial number and it is the same that is on the Yamaha parts catalog. The old switch seems to have the nub removed. I can't figure out if the nub broke off in the master cylinder and that's the bump I saw. Damn these failing eyes.

    Front brake light switch install problem

    I'm replacing the front brake light switch under the master cylinder. The switch that I received from Yamaha has a little nub on top but the master cylinder doesn't seem to have a matching hole there. It actually looks like there is a little bump on the bottom of the master cylinder at that...

    Sad day with a new bike.

    A brand new factory tank costs under $600 painted. I'm sure that's still too much but it should put your painter's price in perspective.
