May the magnet gods be with you!

Did it sound anything like this? https://youtube.com/shorts/yapLpRCrinQ?si=h8mVsFxROgpSt-CE

I think the spec’d torque from the manufacturer on a lot of the stuff is optimistic, I most always discount some amount. Unless IM building an engine or something similar and there is a reliance on bolt stretch.

Ride them both and report back.

Just an fyi and observation. I was curious where the center of gravity was on my bike, so measured distance between front and rear wheel axle. It is located about a third of the way forward from the rear of the tank. Which means most everything put on the bike goes onto the rear suspension...

I’d say the cause would be something you’re picking up off the road since it appears to be on either the leading or trailing edge. If it was in the water it would affect the circumference. Something abrasive like sand. Or maybe it’s in the water you encounter while riding. Also, you know...

I consider the jis a subspecies of the phillips but I guess I need to change that. I’ve got a couple reed prince drivers that I would use by name and not phillips. Then I got curious. There are a lot of different drivers out there. And anything is better than a blade which I still see...

I have a '23 with half the miles yours does. My spokes still look like new and I might have wetted her down once. Didn't know they were a wear item:).

I knew somebody would bring that up. I use JIS.

After all the holes are lined up and everything bolted together I don't think there is much room for adjustment. Since my bike was new and I was anticipating multiple oil changes I took it back off. I don't have the tools to cut into that type or thickness of aluminum to make the adjustment to...

I buy and sell odds and ends, and I have come to the conclusion that it is the owner that has a major factor of whether the product has been taken care of.

You a 747 driver?

I was curious and tried a torque wrench on mine, couldn't keep the phillips head in the screw to bring to spec'd torque. So relied on the tried and true good nuff.

Here you go.

You’d think with all the new introductions there’d be a line forming. Good luck. For me it was more of an issue of location when I purchased mine.

What I was wondering. That goldwing was moving right along.

I was cruising a little over 70 mph in a crosswind today, probably 15-20 kts with some pretty good gusts, especially when the wind came up over the highway from lower ground, the bike was moving around pretty good, though not scary good. Had a chap on a goldwing go by probably 5-10 mph...

Is the one way automatic CCT used on the present models, up to '23? I see there are updates to the manual, maybe 3 in total. Did Yamaha develop something that would not overtighten the chain?

This is a great forum, no advertisements, at the moment. I'd suggest a monetary support. Minimal amount wouldn't hurt anything. There is the cooperative method, new people ante up a set amount which will be returned at the termination of membership. Or a small monthly amount to support the...

How was the exhaust back pressure checked? Could you somehow be able to tell if there was a rich or lean condition during the occurrence?
