  5. YamaHead replied to Pete's post in a topic in The Bar
    Can't recall his name either Pete....... But an R1 as a 1st bike has got to make ya wonder?
  6. YamaHead replied to Smitty's post in a topic in The Bar
    Not necessarily a new concept, but I DO like the Red ones! Definitely would turn some heads if you pulled up to a traffic light with one of those powered by an R1 or a VMax
  7. YamaHead replied to Trev's post in a topic in Yamaha Workshop
    The steel drive plates might be the same......but I'm not sure about the basket......splined hole in the center could be a different pattern ....assuming that the clutch dimensions are the same. Seems a reasonable alternative, but you'd have to compare parts to be sure

    Mucho Respect for the rider who truly pioneered the Hang Off style of riding & was an Inspiration to King Kenny who brought that style to the forefront of Road Racing, as we know it today. RIP Jarno

  17. YamaHead replied to YamaHead's post in a topic in The Bar
    Yeah......I think he had a little score to settle with Nicky, when he made that pass by him, into the 1st chicane for the holeshot H*nda definitely gave him a raw deal when they handed the Repsol pilot position to Hayden .....especially after Colin had won TWO WSB titles for 'em Oh Well....What goes around, comes around.
  18. YamaHead posted a post in a topic in The Bar
    Especially to see a Bleedin' Yank almost win the MotoGP event @ LeMans..... Great to see Colin back on the box again
  19. YamaHead replied to johnalpi's post in a topic in Yamaha Workshop
    If I recall correctly from this very question being posted before 33f/36r seems to ring a bell......but I'm sure that Alex or Beez will be along soon to confirm this

  22. YamaHead replied to SRXy's post in a topic in Yamaha Workshop
    I've had the best luck with Castrol 10w40 over the years.......run it in everything I've got.....even my lawn-mower I've also ran 20w50 Castrol in the summer months.......which works really well for those clunky gearbox issues. I'm sure Pete will tell you that Silkolene is the way to go.......can't argue too much with that as it is pretty good oil.........but for the money, Castrol does the job for me........I used to be dilagent about running "YamaLube" in my bikes, until I found out that their properties are the same as Castrol.....for twice the money! I guess it really boils down to Personal Preference
  23. YamaHead replied to a post in a topic in The Bar
    Not too bad for a 50! Used to have an early DT125......got it up to 75 with stock gearing I miss that little beast sometimes
  24. YamaHead replied to SRXy's post in a topic in Yamaha Workshop
    Could be an issue with the clutch switch, as far as the neutral thing is concerned. Definitely should go over it with a multi-meter.....maybe while it's running.....to see what the voltages are @ the battery......a bad regulator/rectifier could be the guilty culprit. Having a good manual or @ least a wiring diagram in this instance, makes life alot easier. I've been going through a very similar scenario lately with my XT......so I Can Relate to your dilema. Best of Luck with it
