Having a raspberry pi sitting on my desk with no planned project in site... I think your idea rocks!!! I LOVE the RFID ignition idea!!!

Quickly clarify for me - you replaced the richer jets (with what?) or your replaced with richer jets?

Juju - to help you see when people respond: In the GARAGE forum, note that at or near the top, on the right hand side is something that says "Forum Tools". Click the little downward pointing arrow and click "Mark this forum read". Now every time you come back you can see what the new...

Quick and dirty answer: it's the banging of the rotor that pushes them back (sort of). I think it's partly the rotor, partly the deflection of the rubber seals. But you'll need someone smarter than me for the actual inner workings. As long as the cylinders and pads can move freely and the...

Seriously? Just a regular bolt? No left-hand twisty, custom-beveled, thing-a-ma-jig? Shoot... I can do that. I just assumed there was some "mystery" behind the thing judging from the typical online price of $50-70...

6 weeks ago I found the rotor puller online for $2.42. :thumbsup: I paid for it, plus shipping, and have been checking the order status on their website ever since. The website appears to just keep incrementing the expected delivery date by one... :wtf: So far, they won't respond to...

Here is what is typically listed on Craigslist in this area: $800 http://portland.craigslist.org/yam/mcy/4718308428.html I'm more than happy to let Ginger race/ride my bike any time she wants if that'll bring it's value up. I'll even give her the code to the garage door! I'm probably...

Alright, I saw this on Craigslist locally and am thinking it's priced too high: http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/mcy/4717979394.html :wtf: Am I right? Or should I consider putting up my bike for sale too?

PM sent with address.

I'm in need of a working speedometer that includes the turn signal cancelling electronics inside. What's your price shipped to 97225?

How much for the speedometer? Shipped to 97225 (Portland, OR)... although I will be in Moscow, ID this weekend if we could arrange a pick up somehow... Also, do you have the headers/mufflers? How much for those?

Would one of these work? What kind of spray gun? Oh... and what sort of respirator???

Oops. Double post. http://pure-gas.org/

Check this site and see if you can find a station near you that still sells the "good" stuff. http://pure-gas.org/

Quick question: do you have a fuel filter inline between the tank and the carb? It's pretty easy to have a clean carb clog back up if the tank is a mess. I wouldn't suspect the intake boots. While they may cause the bike to run lean, they usually won't stop the bike from running...

I've got to imagine that as long as you were close to the original size springs, you'll be ok. My starter clutch is next on my list. Fortunately, I've found NOS parts just down the road for a reasonable price. Glad you got it fixed!

Guys...I'm not mechanical enough to attempt this, but check out what's been done on another Yamaha that used a similar 3 ball starter clutch: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=908967 This guy modified a more modern sprag clutch, and then drilled and tapped the rotor so it...

Ok... I just found this online. I think I finally get what's going on... Although, in our case I don't think it is back rotation we are worried about. I think what happens is that once the engine starts it is turning more quickly than the starter clutch...

I've not been into my starter clutch yet. Is it the flat end of the larger cylinder that engages against the thin metal disk to start the bike? If so, is there any way to shim behind them to make up for the metal that's worn away? --Nevermind... :doh: I found a great write-up someone did...

I don't have a camera handy, but I'll get some pics up as soon as I can - just in case anyone wants to see what I ended up doing. A 2" fender washer, some nuts, bolts, and an L-bracket. It's enough to keep the exhaust from bellowing directly out the muffler without really changing the...
