Can anyone give me tips on how to R&R the igition switch from an 86 Radian? Thanks

86 Radian. It was running along fine, then after some nice speed runs over a series of speed bumps(a dozen or so) it is now idling really high. Also bogs abit with throttle. It appears that I have some fine cracks on the intake boots that weren't there before. I am assuming that is the problem. Sound correct?

I need a new chain on my 86 Radian, but I don't have a lot of money. I found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1986-1990-YAMAHA-YX600-YX-600-RADIAN-O-RING-CHAIN_W0QQitemZ350075272518QQcmdZViewItem?rvr_id=&itemid=350075272518 It is either this chain or a non-oring heavy duty chain. I haven't been able to find much, good or bad on Race-Driven chains. Anybody use one? Also, I belive my bike came stock with a non-oring. Is it really necessary to upgrade to oring?

I am looking for an inexpensive carbs synch tool and I found: THIS(link). Looks pretty good for the money. Anyone have experience with that tool or another inexpensive tool that works well? JDG

They show it as available here:Yamaha Parts Depot Haven't ordered from them though. JDG

I just bought an 86 Radian. I'm new to bikes, I think I made a good choice in the cruiser. JDG

Try here: Yamaha Parts Depot. I haven't ordered from them yet, but I plan to. JDG
