As described one should remove also any corrosion from the first frying process, and beware only Iron lead and mercury have a reddish oxide, lots of other metals have a whitish oxide verry which is hard to see, notably alumimium zink nickeletc, a thin layer of it works as an corrosion inhibitor...

Exactly, ive been running Rally lamps on the same gauge (100+60W)

Okay you may help your friendly dealer to some cash in his attick, but in fact it doesn't have to cost any mony to cure this problem. And for all people don't think you'll go look when flickering strats strik pre-emptively with you swiss army file :-) Make the connector look like this and its...

Oh yes there is, and it is actualy so evident that all the melted harnesses show the same heat patterns, wires getting grey from the sub-optimal contact point at the Ground terminal of either or even both lamps, according to the batch of crimpydinky terminalhousings. Its also almost always as...

Bhoehaha, Yamaha has an Offroad able ABS on both wheels, and just one handle to grab them both, aybody complaining about triggering the S10 ABS hasn't got a clue about the use of the front lever offroad, and should take a driving course. ::022::

Whenever did you trigger the ABS offroad then on the frontwheel? The back i easy to trigger downhill, but it doesn't do anything usefull locked but pulling you down, o why did you need it may i ask ?

Well it has a lot to do with tire pressure, you can see the tire is flattened with strong endges, so it will be an high pressure rider, lower PSI gets you more "sideburns", but if you would run higher PSI *and* power up inclinated you could run even longer with your tire, lots of rubber to be...

I removed that silly rack months ago, it just makes the seating for the pillion awkward high, if it had the tools or a lock stash i could understand it. i would love to see a Longseat for it, the grapevine rumoured a real "bobbed" adventure, but instead it became a lardy "Bash More Weight"...

Nonsense, even European bikes use Keihin EFI :-) (Yes even KTM uses Keihin now)

"Danke für die Blumen " :-) But those people are not looking at the trailer it is part of our political campaign, we are giving away little Tomato shaped sponges to clear away all the Banksters out our parliament, the Boy took one, but his sister saw it, and being a Tory blew the wistle on him...

Its 5% here, but there is a big discussion now its become obvious the Ethanol is just a new way for Oilrefiners to make more money, at the cost of Nature :-( In Germany they tried to lobby for the 10%, but the public just wont buy it, so they now are stepping out of the Hoax .

Well not exactly today, but i've really used its TORQUE the last three weeks, using it as a "truck" to tow a political campaign market stall all around our Hilly Country, and 993 km's ith my trailer (made to haul trailbikes and offroad XT500's loaded with almost full dised market stall has...

Nope, vaseline is a pure corrosion inhibitor, and nice thin and creaping, so it gets into the end of the wire preventing it from corroding and tus preventing a build up of a resistance bride (dutch term translated...) and that resistance is producing warmth like the corrosion of the prongs with...

Re: Leave it to me to damage the final drive! It's the Yamaha "porsche design" rear drive, which is a realy different design, look at no.13, its a lock nut... Only accesible if the joint is "opened" as described in my other post. Get a parts manual, and look at the beautiful design at the rear...

Re: Leave it to me to damage the final drive! Keep off those bolts whatever you do ! Its the angledrive wihich is shimmed to speck, loosening and retightening it just a little different will possibly grind itself to pieces... The Joint though is a beautifull made affair, consisting of...

The wire is only feeding one bulb of 55 Watts, i've been running Ralley lights on the same Gauge (100Watt) so that's not the prblem, its just the slit in the plastic is the problem, it prevents the prongs making contact on the sharp sides of the connector,leaving the flat side with no real...

Its a silly easy ting to correct, with a 2$ nailfile, would not call that a risk, so get off your high horse back on your lowly Xt :-) But you are right Yamaha dealers know about customer satisfaction, i just have to mention Termaat anywhere, and Jeroen will read it :-)

Beying the Old-Scool mechanic i am, i really have to pull your ears ! >:-) Never let a bike idle until warm, because the warmth only gets into the head, the complete geartrain stays cold, and all the little debris sticks onto the cold gears, after being pushed through the oil pump onto the cold...

That may be true for teh English/American market, but here Yamaha has even a monitor on the Partssupply, if an item that should only be ordered in a Crash or other weird mishap gets ordered more that X times a year, they get an Notification, there is something coocking... Best way to get a...
