glen webster replied to GMXV535's topic in Yamaha Customs
thy can be a pain to install you have to remove the OEM pegs then remove the pegs from the brackets then install the boards to the OEM brackets then reinstall them on the bike so the brake will not be in the wrong position -
don't know why thy are cheaper but that should not worry you Yamaha is one of if not the bike on the market

the Way i solved that was to put boards on it 148,36 $USD thy can be got at http://www.bikercom.com/shop/index.php?pag...mp;ref=H732-060 -
well it could be as simple as the carbs need to be cleaned and or rebuilt or could have restricted air flow that would be what i would check first
