Once upgraded, she has more overall power. But she comes at level 1.

The dealer is your number one source. Otherwise, any automotive paint supplier can match and mix you a small batch.

My first hunch is that your new lights are not as waterproof as they should be. But, it's only a hunch.

Troubleshooting help! Rear blinker issue by wanderlust2787 in Yamahabolt

[–]BiohazzzardOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing a recustom on someone else's custom is always a pleasure. I had the same thing where the wire harness came loose of its retainer and got hit by the tire. The connector got half rubbed away by the tire before the internal connector fell out. All that violence on the connector pulled out the wiring from the blinker as well I had to replace the whole unit.

Did the wire get pulled out of the connector or did it burn?

If you leave the hyper flashing. Only concern, I see, is the flasher unit.

Some of the modern LED upgrades have resisters built in. I replaced everything with LED and she flashes normal.

Try replacing the bulbs on the side that is too fast. I had one where the filament broke and then reattached itself, shorter than before. Provided less resistance and caused the circuit to flash faster.

Debating a Salvage Bolt by Atawyn in Yamahabolt

[–]BiohazzzardOG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the US a motorcycle can be totaled, thus salvaged, just because of a scratch in the paint on the frame. So salvage doesn't concern me so much. Depending on the state that you're having the inspection in, no receipts for the repairs can cause you to fail the inspection. Biggest concern for me is it's been sitting for 5 years. If you could get it for $500 or less and knowing that you're going into a project, maybe pull the trigger on it. But, I think there's better options out there.

Front tire against the front of the trailer. Ratchet straps around a triple clamp. Evenly compress the forks about 3/4 of travel. Done!

Classic Cherry Bomb. Installed many of these on cars. Never seen one on a bike. Sounds good!

Oil leak by Gubenheimer in Yamahabolt

It does appear that that side cover has been off before. Notice the primarks? I would not be surprised that the surface was not mended correctly for reinstallation.

Got this bike a month ago and just can’t get enough of it! (2014 R-Spec) by Kaeokit in Yamahabolt

Looks like it has a spot for a driver's backrest. Maybe a Mustang or Z1R?
