I remove the horn(one 10mm nut), and place tie downs above lower triple clamp. If there is still fairing interference, crisscross the straps. you may need to use soft ties. On rear, I use a soft tie to go around swing arm on each side, trying to use slightly forward pull. Stabilizing front wheel...

I am picking mine up tomorrow (Tues,) morning. I am very anxious to try it out. I'll have about a six hour ride home to get aquainted! It is my anniversary present, and NO! you can't have her, either one of them! My '12 has 60,ooo miles and a tired suspension, so I decided to get a new one...

A new twist on the subject! With 57,000 miles,30,000 with the startup noise, I am ready, and armed with info from this forum, to attempt to get a warranty repair for this problem. And now the noise has stopped! What do you think? Maybe the piston has rotated a little and temporarily sealed...

I found a pump in an auto parts catalog that was identical in appearance, but had different pressure. I was researching how it is regulated when Y.E.S. warranty came through, so i never went any farther with it. I now add fuel treatment-water dispersant occasionally. My pump and filters were...

Check the thread, "Stuck in Andalusia, Alabama with a dead ST", I have pics posted there of the assembly. There is nothing serviceable except maybe the fuel level meter. R&R entire assembly otherwise.

I had a set installed in Alaska at a privateer shop that has mounted many sets on Big Trailies and they recommended 34psi f&r. I assume because of stiff sidewalls, and this served me well! I was fully loaded and I weigh about 280lbs. in gear. dirtdigger

Re: valve adjust problem Becoyote, The "tea bag" will come off, just pry gently around it with a screwdriver and flush everything good. I would use something with a tapered tip like an after market mustard dispenser, to put a little pressure on the sealed filter. Fill the pump with fuel, blow...

Re: valve adjust problem I had my fuel pump assembly replaced under YES warranty as stated in the thread "Stuck in Andalusia Alabama with a Dead ST". When trouble shooting, the shop found that when tilting the tank back, the engine would run, upon letting it back down, the engine would die. The...

Yamaha does not show part numbers for the two filters, one of which is inside plastic housing. Must replace whole assembly. There is a thread here with pics. I think it is named "Stuck In Andalusia, Ala." dirtdigger

Fuel pump issues due to bad gas. ST needs more user friendly fuel filters so they can be changed without changing whole fuel pump assembly. Issues appeared at 43,000 miles. Bike quit like turning key switch off. Also:fork seals replaced two headlight wiring harnesses dirtdigger570

I have had a Bill Mayer Saddle for a year and I love it. I did the "ride in" build. They had already done over 80 ST seats at that time, so I think they could do a mail in seat just about as well. They lowered the rear which took out the forward slope of the stock seat, and made the front...

tpak- The dealer said he may have to send the whole unit in for warranty. Don't know if he did. I will ask when I get home. I am currently enjoying your great state of Colorado. I ran into a broken ST in Telluride with a bad clutch. His name on this forum is johnny cinco or something like that...
