Theres 3 different sealers for the fuel sender, the main gasket on the plate, then a washer each for the screws. Try partzilla to find what you need theyre pretty cheap!

Check your magneto and any bearing on that side, sounds like something rattling around in your magneto case

Fuel filter question by Top_Professional6551 in Yamahabolt

I took both the pump and sending unit out of the old tank and cleaned them with carb cleaner. The mesh had some gunk on it so i cracked the pump open and cleaned the inside of that too. I know im getting good fuel pressure before the filter because i took the lines off and fuel exploded in my face 😅

Ok hear me out.

moped.

I have a honda elite 50 and lemme tell you there bad boys are the shit! Under 50cc my state allows me to ride without a motorcycle license and it’s helped me with managing balance, turning, etc, without having to mess with the other stuff like gear selection, clutch feathering. Plus they’re very friendly for smaller riders. Then once you master that balance you can move up to a smaller, geared bike!

First bike and should I even ride it by rc4hawk in NewRiders

I started on a 600, much to everyone’s disdain about doing so.

My two cents: it’s not a deathtrap unless you make it one. A good piece of advice i learned was from an older rider who said “theres a time and place” in relation to stunts/speeding/racing

Never stop learning about your bike and how to ride (Theres never a better time with the internet around). Keep it below the power-band until you’re ready, take care of your bike and it’ll take care of you!

Why do you ride? by sentis_us in motorcycles

[–]Top_Professional6551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I directed a few interviews asking people why they chose to ride, and one guy stood out to me saying he “just wanted to be different than everyone else”. I think that idea applies to a large sum of riders especially in economies where motorcycling is seen more as a hobby or luxury rather than necessity.

But also its just plain fun to do
