So Jealous.. Looks like a great bit of DH. I've always wanted to ride some DH trails but we have nothing around here. Here is my favorite trail: Sidewinder @ Levis Mounds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xm-ICqOSsKU

You can certainly tell there is absolutely no bias here....Blah Other than that yeah, its a great bike, rideable in all rpm's and doesnt complain about it. Comfortable and easy to ride. Over the last year and a half i put shy of 20,000 miles on mine, besides for oil and tire changes, she...

Anyone have an updated Coupon Code?

I obviously wasnt there to analyze the whole situation.. But that does look like a fresh coat of chip-seal on that road. It can be like riding on marbles. The pebble rock often gets kicked off making lines of loose gravel on the edge of the road. Max speed on that stuff: Slow, Dead Slow...

So basically, if you can say Potato-Potato-Potato-Potato faster than the engine can say Potato-Potato-Potato-Potato... You're going too fast Blah

I just did a 3500 mile trip in about 7 1/2 days of riding. I also did a similar trip last year, with a total of 13,000 miles logged last summer, and about 5,000mi logged this summer. All on a stock seat. I dont think its too bad at all! Have you ever ridden a Ducati monster? or worse yet...

FWIW... My '86 FZ 600 did that religiously on decel. Do as much as touch the handlebar with your hand and it quits. Worked through the entire front end, still did it, new tires, old tires, front wheel of my buddie's radian. String aligned the rear wheel. Nothing made a difference. Doesnt...

This might sound dumb.. but one day i kept getting this clunking sound from my bike... checked everything out over and over again. Swore to god it was coming from the forks, but could never pin point it. Couple days later I was trying out my friends Arai helmet.. no more clunking! Turns out...

Whats Shipping to 54451? Thanks!!

Jeez, mine was a peice of crap, the hook that grabs the eyelet in the shock rounded off and it wont grab anything. So I filed on it to square it back up and it just rounds off again. Its like butter-metal, look at it wrong and it might bend, haha Also what is the extension you speak of? I...

The suspension spanner tool that comes with the toolkit is absolute trash anyway. Belive me, Youre not missing it!

Not to be off subject here, But where do you guys get these VS headlight kits?

Hmm. My bets are on a Just simply a broken valve, and alot of bad luck. Cam chain tension wouldnt cause a broken valve for any reason.. at least I dont think so.. Unless of course it came out of time, by skipping a tooth.. but then you'd have damage to valves on all cylinders. And besides...

I changed back to some Honda Pro (showa) 5wt. oil. According to the charts its about the same viscosity as stock yamaha 01 oil. The bike behaves pretty normally now, and handles the bumpy roads quite a bit better. Less nervousness. I went back to 5wt oil just to confirm that it was acting...

Ohh yeah dude, Yamaha makes all kinds cool stuff and sells them in other countries.. and not in the US: Products | India Yamaha Motor Pvt. Ltd. Lots of bikes I'd like to see here!

Bars were straight. I'm no stranger to front wheel in the air action!

Good read!! I had no idea there was so much difference between brands of oil! Turns out the Bel Ray 15wt is HUGELY heavier than even most 10 wt oils. And yamaha 01 oil is actually more comparable to Most 5 wt oils. Looks like I'll pick up some Belray 7wt or some ProHonda/Showa 7.5 wt,

Last summer my GF and I did a bit of 2 up riding. We probably put 2,500 or so miles on over the summer. I'm 180lbs and shes about 135 or so. Once she learned to stay back on the passenger seat and not drift forward too much we were good to go. she usually just rested her hands on my hips or...

If you don't have this; you might order it: Yamaha FJ, FZ, XJ and YX600 Radian Repair Manual covering 598cc air-cooled Fours models for 1984 to 1990 well unless you can find one elsewhere. I have one. Its somewhere in my belongings. Might be a CLYMER, One of those pay it forward...

yeah I figured on lightening the oil up a bit. Maybe go for 7.5 wt. I was told that yamaha "0wt." is actually about the same as most manufacturers 5 wt oil. Belray's website actually calls for 10wt
