Any time we have ever needed touch up paint we have ordered from these guys, not sure if available in your location though

Our Parts Unlimited Rep brought me a sample of "Muc-Off motorcycle cleaner" big bottle with a pink colored liquid inside, can be sprayed as a foam or flip the cap and it sprays as a mist. Seems to take most of the dirt and gunk off bike without any scrubbing, heavy stuff may need a light...

I had my 13 do this to me out of the blue one day, would spin over but no attempt at starting. IIRC the check engine light would blink and when checked the codes it was saying something along the lines of ecu not seeing power from key switch. Discovered i could turn the key off and back on a few...

Put the swap on hold gonna try to find a better place to mount the ballast/ignitor boxes. I like neat and tidy and hate seeing bundles of wires but it seems Yamaha has used alot of the good hiding places so hunting for a empty space. Test fired everything and looks like it will be nice once i...

So as stated in the title above I am getting away from halogen bulbs, I have my kit and I have a basic idea as to where i am gonna put the Ignitor/ballast box thing. was just curious if anyone had some ideas or would share where they mounted the boxes. Contemplated going LED so did not have to...

If you send me your VIN number i can run it on yamaha and tell you if it has been done or not. I have a 13 model and i am pretty sure that i didnt have to mess with those and they were already on the bike. I dont think the recall involves those pretty sure the wires go right by them though...

He is 20 months old and right at 35" tall barefoot i think he gonna be 6'0" or 6'4". If my mom has anything to do with it he will probably be playing for Alabama, My dad on the other had would like to see him go to Ole Miss and play baseball. Only time will tell i suppose, seeing as he is good...

Old saying a friend of mine had. I had the pleasure of working with him at the shop and he taught me alot of what I know now. Whenever you were working on something and got it all the way back together just to realize you forgot something or it didn't run right he would kinda peek over your...

Hopefully i can keep this tenere long enough to hopefully pass it on to my son but he being only 20 months old has got 17 years and 8 months to go lol. His love of motorcycles I think started at about 8 months old, don't worry the beer is not open.

Interesting your from Tupelo seeing as how I have family up there and from there. If the weather will make up its mind I kinda would like to make run up there, swerve into take some pics with Elvis’ birth place, maybe shoot on into Memphis for some bbq then back home to crash in my bed. Just...

It is neat to be able to assemble it from a crate, be the first to clean it up and wipe it down then put it on the floor for someone to buy. A year or so goes by and no one has bought it but you keep em clean and wiped off. Then one day someone comes in and buys it, you pop the acid on the...

We had a guy from the Biloxi area bring one in for some tires before he moved to Alaska it was funny because I remember saying to my co worker “My god they do exist” I will have to keep an eye out for him if I get to cruising around. Most of what is around here are Harley baggers that are...

yea there are days that I question not having a car like a few days ago it was 27F when I left house to go to work, it’s only 30 miles to work but it was pretty frosty. I sold my Miata, xterra, waverunner, and my WR250R to help pay for the Dr appointments for my wife to conceive my son so it was...

Yea sometimes I think "Should I tell em" lol. I enjoy a Puzzle though, Only Bronze level tech, but then again thats the only test i took the others are classroom based and well i didnt have time to travel soooo I may know more than my paperwork says I do. I have only really messed with up to...

For the last year and a half my Tenere has been my sole means of transportation, as in i do not even own a car/truck. I keep my V-Star 650 as a back up and for days I just wanna ride something different. Was just curious if anyone else out there was doing the same.
