NT you lucky girl!....I sure miss working around bikes like I used to :lovex ......getting to sample a variety of machinery 8) Those MiniMoto's are sure the rage over here too.....They slip right into a loophole in the law right now though......NO license or insurance required :shock: .......YET! :wink:

Truth Be Known......I wouldn't give up being a GranDad for all the money in the world!.....I've always loved that Ear 2 Ear grin on their faces after that 1st ride on my bike.......@ 6 months old! :wink: 8)

....I've got 5 kids also....from 2 marriages......along with 3 GrandKids :shock: .....been a GranDad since I was 38 8) Definitely has to be the Major contributor to the Grey Hair count

That SwingArm is the sh*t, NT :tu 8)

QUALITY Not Quantity! 8)

:wink:

That's one of the Sweeter Kawi triple's I've seen! I like the swing arm & those spannies are trick 8) ....the front wheel looks like it's off a Suzook, I think.

Now that's what I've always thought! :wink: 8)

The Trigger :shock:

...Especially without it going off @ some unintended target :shock:

Yeah....think you're on the right track there J :wink: The heat from the exhaust will always fatigue those type of parts faster.

Good to see ya around again Axl :wink: Myself, I'm still grinding away with the same Old Nail :roll: But you'll have to get Unmutual to enlighten you on his Gay-Assed Alpine Thingy

That's a Helluvan Entrance Mozz! :shock: Just your style....go out with a Bang...Come in with one too! Glad to see ya back mate 8)

The Mozzinator is back in da house! 8) Good to see ya back around mate :wink: Sorry for the slight post hijack :oops:

Nice report there Fazer6 8) Always great to sample different machinery :wink:

If you have the YICS head design (which I think you do).....you'll need that damn YICS shut-off tool to Synch those carbs! :wink: ....My '83 750 Maxim does the very same thing everytime I mess with the carbs :roll: Problem is (@least where I live) is that getting one of those special tools is next to impossible....(the local Yamaha dealer tells me they don't make 'em anymore! :shock: I am fortunate though, as a friend of mine who lives close by, has this tool....which I currently need to borrow :oops: It inserts in a hole on the intake side of the head, right under the carb boots....(bolt there needs to be removed first). There's basically sub-ports between the cylinders that need to be blocked off while synchronizing.....or else you'll never get it right :? I think this design was to equalize the vacuum pressure between the cylindrs, but TBH, it's a pain in the Ass! :x I've dealt with it for quite awhile on 3 different Seca's & now this Maxim. That's why Im keeping my eye's peeled for a good used newer XJ WithOut this type of head, for a daily hack. :wink: Did you also clean the Air Jets in the tops of the carbs?......that too can make a difference sometimes. I'll have to do a search again & try to source one of these tools out from somwhere......Let me know if you possibly find one.....I'd be quite interested in getting one. It sure does make life alot easier when you've got the right tool for the job :wink: Best of Luck with it

.....American & Iraqi motorcycle riders......is rather obvious

Here we go.......hopefully this'll wet your whistle for a minute :wink: ......

Ya know JMW........you're absolutely right! It's my day off, & I'm dying for some liquid refreshment also. I'll be right back :wink:

About the only Yamaha 50, that I know of, that Doesn't have gears...... Is this one....... :roll: which belongs to my little lad :wink:

Standard Issue :wink:

Yamaha's: YZR500 8) M1 YZ450F Others: Bimota V'due MV Agusta F4 Late 60's 100cc GP bike with Mega gears.........Suzi made one with 18 speeds! :shock: .....probably took the 1st 6 just get it off the line

:hi Aboard OGR I thought I'd seen that name before......LC site wasn't it? Always great to have another stroker fan amongst us :wink:

Clutches on Most Yamaha inlines, are a piece of cake to change 8)

You'll do fine Girl......Just treat it as if the camera isn't even there :wink:
