    Being a native from the PNW.....I can relate oh too well to these symptoms Also owned a coupla XS400's in the past doesn't hurt either. Definitely drain the tank & refill with fresh petrol....then with clean plugs & a charged battery, have another go @ starting it. If the results are still the same....you might need to clean those carbs out.....especially the pilot jets which are notorious for clogging after sitting for a spell. It's not that difficult & only requires a screwdriver & a can of carb cleaner to sort that problem. Hope this helps

    I believe that was the infamous wheelie done @ the Brno round of the 1999 GP's Beyond vertical it looked like to me ....Back when Max was riding well Too bad he can't seem to keep from crashing these days.....such as in last week's WSB race @ Phillip Island

    After getting tagged in the head like that......he @ least still had enough wits left to get himself off the track & outta the way of traffic!

    EBoz has always been 1 of my fav riders from over here.....really glad to see him flying on an R6 these days! Daytona ought to be good this year

    Might just have a look.....FJR's are nice Sport-Tourers Although I wish I could afford 1!

    I'd be happy enough just to say that I've designed parts for it! I'm sure riding it would be a kick......I bet it makes some nice Mechanical Music
  13. YamaHead replied to Cobalt's post in a topic in Naked
    1st of all.... to the forum Cobalt Keeping it below 7k for the 1st 500 miles or so surely can't hurt. After that, varying your Rev's for awhile will probably yield the best results for well balanced performance from that Beast. Just my 2 cents worth

  16. YamaHead replied to cidervisor's post in a topic in Yamaha Workshop
    Just taking a stab @ it here........but could it have to do with the oil you're running in it? Also, sometimes if you shuffle those clutch plates, it can also make a difference. Hope this helps BTW.... to the forum CiderVisor

    Like I always tell people......A birthday is just a measure of time of how long we've been on this planet I try & treat it like any other day..........until after work when I break out the BEER! Mozz!.....May you have @ least 21 more!

    ....A Drafting position to draw parts for this ... MotoCzysz is a local company & this is their MotoGP Bike project. There's some real innovative concepts on this beast.....especially in the front end, such as an Adjustable Trail @ the axle.....& what they call Coaxial Steering @ the triple clamps. here.....Have a look for yourselves...... http://www.motoczysz.com/main.php?area=bike I just read where they are also looking for data aquisition technicians as well......definitely a growing company. This would have to be the Coolest Drafting job I could ever have! Fingers Crossed!
  19. Cool paint scheme! That'd look tight on an '86 FZ

    Great way to start off the season ....... Shame that Haga went down on the last lap though!
  21. Cool little AC racer .....
  22. YamaHead replied to Sir Tom Jones's post in a topic in The Bar
    It pays to dbl check everything.......& with chain adjustments, you'll be able to do 'em in your sleep after you get the feel for it. Until then, take a quick test ride after everytime you turn a spanner on your bike...... If for anything......just some piece of mind. Great to hear you sorted the prob......always feels good when that happens.
  23. YamaHead replied to mervin's post in a topic in Yamabyss
    Too Right there Merv!
  24. A good place to start might be........How many cylinders does it have? That should determine whether it's an FZ or an SRX BTW... to the forum.
