Tried the Ultimate seat on my 950. Too much like the OEM seat as far as the sitting position - too close to the tank. Thinking about returning it before the two weeks are out. Saw a photo of the Mustang Day Tripper - one piece seat - looks like it may have more room to get away from the gas tank. Has anyone tried one of these? Any information and or photos with the seat on the bike would be appreciated. Thanks

Odds are it's ground loop. 1 disconnect the battery with the engine turned off. 2) connect an ammeter in series w/ the disconnected terminal. If it's showing a current, doesn't matter how much or how little, you've got a problem. If it's barely moving the meter, you will want to put something like a milli-amp meter in place of the other meter. 3) find your fusebox. One at a time, pull the fuse, and check the reading. If it drops, you have a problem with that circuit. If it goes to 0, it's probably the only problem. Replace, and go to the next one. If you hit one that reduces it but not to zero, don't replace, and continue on. That will let you find any other problems @ the same time. You now know which circuit has the problem...

Ok, I've had the pleasure of riding a couple of bikes in the past but am now looking to buy my first. I would say my experience level is still beginner and am looking for advice on what would fit me best. I am 5'11" and 250lbs. I want a bike that I can learn on but also won't get bored with in a year. Any advice would help. Also not looking to spend more than 3k just in case I drop it.

Where do I start grrrrrr not a Happy camper.................... My new shock turned up to day I gave all the details by email and by phone and then backed up the phone call with an email that read (Just to confirm the phone call just a moment ago I need a rear mono shock and spring for Yamaha XVS 1300A V-Star 2010 model about 80% of my riding is done 2 up, I am around the 90kg mark and my partner is around the 80kg mark and if where tripping to bike rallies we would have about 30kgs of luggage. I would say that our riding style is fairly aggressively (love the corners ect) ) and the comet I bot back was (The shock we are sending is the only one made for your bike...it will be ok for the weight.......and as it is the only one made...it's hobsons choice...if you know what I mean.....I feel sure you will be delighted and have a trouble free and enjoyable ride...... Perhaps you could let us know once you have tried it.....) well got it out of the box all excited went out to the bike and started pulling my beloved bike apart 1 piece at a till I got to the top of the shock carful taking it a part and placing every thing in order so as to remember where every thing goes, I finally got the bolt out of the top and tested it in the new shock yey so far so good by this time it would be about 2 hours of fumbling around then the bottom bolt cool out it came 1 more bolt to get the old one out and then the job of putting it all back together, cool its out that was a bit more trouble than I thought it would be, hey but its out so lets start to put it back together now, hey wait a minuet what's the go here dam the 1 I took out is 50mm longer than the new one not even the bolts will fit through the holes F$%#K its the wrong dam one ( and I have a four day weekend planded away in 4 days ) so rang the supplier he said he thought it was for the Yamaha 1300 and it is but for the M62097 YAMAHA ROYAL STAR VENTURE XVZ13TF 98<(4XY)not the V -STAR XVS 1300A hell I even rang them and told them that the part number they gave me looks like it is for the XVZ 1300 and not the XVS all though the part number that I saw on the net for the XVZ had a M in front of the number, now I have either got to put it all back together or wait for at least 2 weeks min to get the right one I think even the Wilber's Dealer has done the same bloody thing as I had a wilders shock on my XVS 1100A and the 1100 shock and the 1300 looks almost the same. Just don't thing the Ozzie guy at Wilber's could be bothered stuffing around to sort it :-)

I have a 1994 Yamaha XV 750 that I bought in June 2009. Has run great up until 3 months ago when it started idling low when coming to a stop. I turned the idle adjust up and ok for awhile then got worse and started backfiring when you let off the throttle. Seems like it is running on one cylinder at low speeds. If it dies at a stop you can count on it not starting up again for at least 40 minutes. Then it runs on what feels like 1 cylinder but will make it home if I'm lucky if no more than 3 miles away. Next day it will start up like a new bike, idle perfectly and full power for 10 minutes on the road and then a re-run of problems. I have used octane booster and fuel injector cleaner, the latter seems to work the best. But even that doesn't work anymore. The carb bowls are full of gas and my vacuum is working. I only use premium gas, of course. This problem only started after gassing up at a convience store. I have refilled the tank numerous times since it happened, so I can't imagine it being bad gas over and over. Any suggestions? This bike has never sit more than 2 weeks without being ridden. I appreciate any help you can give me.

Carb engines should have the carb bowls drained on a regular basis. check them first. How many miles on it? Sounds like its not getting proper fuel thru one or all carbs.. The air cleaner !, is the filter dirty. Look in the tank fill, is the tank rusted and clogging the fuel filter or fuel screen. Check the spark plugs. Also never get gas at any station that has a fuel truck there filling the station. They stirr up the crap on the bottom of the stations tanks; Gene Kap.
