  1. Can I change mine? Same answer as before but I got to go with alantasmittie84 with texting not only are their minds elsewhere so are there eyes.
  2. Thanks rescue76 took my last pills last night so Im back to posting but on one site at a time. I was bad and take that all that credit can't blame meds for everything. I have to own up to my stupidity.
  3. To tell you the truth I have no idea anymore.I have heard that the ones sold in england are adjusted first at 12,000 miles per the manufacture. In Aust its 20,000 km or 12,000 miles I have no idea why here the first one is at 600 miles.I have already done mine and most likely would do it again if I bought a new one. My bike was in specs on the 600 mile service but doing it yourself does not cost anything. Just the having the piece of mind is worth it to me. I started doing my own when I had a Kaw Concourse and after getting the first 2 services done someone told me the dealer does not even check them where he worked at unless they had a problem or over 8,000 miles. So I started doing it myself so I know its done and all it cost me is a few hours time. I have always gone by factory specs and would never advise anyone any different so even in this situation to me its better safe than sorry. Jerry
  4. Sorry the last message was to be posted on a different board. Kind of new to computers and had surgery last week so I can not get around. Wish I could blam it on the drugs. Just glad I have not posted the georgia peach one by mistake now that one was something that could not be explained. Im going to shut up at least until the drugs are all gone.
  5. Car drivers the really scary ones talk on cell phones cause it is way more important what they have to say and where they go than it is for your right to live. Sorry bad day true but a very bad day.
  6. The boy who cried wolf and laughed when they showed up to help him.
  7. YEA you got me I treated you like a person and you burned me now thats real funny.
  8. No like I said Im bad it is indead a kawasaki parts manufactured in Japan assembled in Omaha. Pre 2004 other than that I cant tell you theres about 20 years in their they did not change anything. Sorry again Jerry
  9. Sorry you have a hugh pic that says Kawasaki on it. Thought you are the joker. Give me a break.
  10. I was lucky and bought the touring model for the same price I would of paid for the base model. I love it and having the same key to start the bike for the bags are great. I know while looking around a couple of dealers had put together thier own touring packages because it was cheaper for them. If you have a dealer in your area like that he might be able to swing you a deal. If anyone knows of a nice tail trunk that matches the stock bags thats what I have been shopping for.Thanks and good luck. Jerry
  11. I'm going to make your day. You and you alone are going to have this one time chance of a lifetime. Many many people have dreamed of it some have tried it. So many have impersonated it. But you my friend just because I like you will have this deal of a lifetime. You can now be the second owner of the all famous Brooklyn Bridge but you must contact me quickly as I said this is a one time offer.
  12. I dont know if this will work or not but a old fart told me he uses a white oven cleaner on the area of the leak. After a short ride he can see where the leak is starting from. Sounded good to me anyway. Jerry
  13. Hi from the states Jerry
  14. Sounds good Im still deceiding on my next adjustment how far I want to tear it down. I think that it will make it till the snow hits so I can take my time. The hex wrench idea sounds good though Im going to do that. Im kind of the extra wood guy myself just 4 2x6 screwed them ontop of each other about 8 inches long. I them put two scrap pieces on top where thiers enough room to trap mty kickstand in the middle. Works great for oil changes and checking the level. No need to get anyones help or worry about dropping her. It works well for me anyway. Jerry
  15. Hi to you too! I can tell you keep looking and riding don't count something out that you like. The more experence and comfy you get you will be making the bike do all the work. A little time with the ctb and that thing will be dancing to you music. Besides even 125's need loving. Jerry
  16. Congrats young lady I always knew you could do it. I have been riding for 15 years 8 of which were pro. and over35k miles a year. But still every day I learn or see something new. Be safe and enjoy what you have worked for.
  17. Sorry but I dont have a pick-up or a trailer so I will ride mine to where I go
  18. I dont know much about your bike butin the past I have had seats that will not open if the forks are locked hey its worth a try

    1300 NOISES

    I can not tell you if its normal or not but mine had the same thing except for the pot hole stuff. It was sugested I adjust the clutch which I did. That took care of about 60 percent of the noise. I have 2200 miles now and either its getting better or Im getting acustomed to the noise. There is still a whine when riding that I hope will go away but it is a whole lot better now than when I first picked it up. You would think Yamaha would train the dealers about this clutch problem. After that how in the world could I trust them to service my bike if they dont know how to adjust the clutch?

    For one thats not the oil wieght recomended and two have you done the valve adjustment?
  22. You truly get the guts award for that. I tried the screw driver thing but did not want to put that much presure on my 600 mile bike. As far as the vent hoses went I have a couple of 4 inch scrap wood wedges that slide under the left side of the tank. I can then get under the tank enough that it goes right on.
  23. Now that you got that off your chest do you feel better about over paying for a outdated bike? A Harley is actually a imitation of a Indian with no improvements. At least some changes were made to allow people to make a choice or dont you agree with free thinking? If everyone had a harley you would not have a thing to whine about or would you?
  24. I had Progressive and hit a eagle over 3 years ago and they have not payed a dime on it. My wife injured her neck and every dr. that treated her said her injuries were caused by the wreck but progressive says it was not. They have not even paid for the ambulance from the scene. If you want to fight for coverage you pay for then go ahead and buy it I never will again.
