    My New Project!

    hmm good point, well unfortunately i already shelled out the $40 so i might as well try them on, and the carb boots that are installed now are at least a few years old (and by few years im being quite modest, they are at least 2-3 years old...) , and theyre holding pretty well (of course i mean...

    My New Project!

    I wish it was as simple as a vacuum tube. Yes i found a service manual online and read through most of it, service, owner and parts manual/catalogue. Yamaha should write a novel... In all seriousness though, they are very helpful manuals, useless if you dont like reading alot :P well my sync...

    My New Project!

    I just tried starting the bike again, and it started for a brief moment then died... so im beginning to get a little irritated because i did not take the carb apart, i just adjusted the synchronization (if anything it should be towards the better, no?). Its actually -1 degrees outside, could the...

    My New Project!

    Ill see what i can muster up :P i just spent about $150 on the trail tech vapor, oil filters, and fork seals... i think keeping up with the bikes repair costs and insurance costs is going to kill me :'( I think im going to repair/replace parts after they are completely broken or just not useable...

    My New Project!

    Front- PAA3801 Rear-PAD1706 so these tires according to their numbers are quite old, however i have also checked for cracks, and could not find anything longer than maybe 1-2mm there are only a handful, nothing major at the moment thank god! The bike only has 22000 km on it so im guessing these...

    My New Project!

    No idea about how old the tires are, im assuming they are still the stock OEM Bridgestone ones straight from Yamaha, but i inspected the tread, and there seems to be a fair amount left, its got about 1.5-2mm of good tread still left on it, no noticeable vibration while driving, and i might add...
