The best........and the worst 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
After having watched the forums for almost a year and now joining about a month ago and learning a lot from all of you......

YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST........( and as Paul Harvey used to say ) " now for the rest of the story "

OR....the WORST, which is me.

After a nice ride yesterday, I started to hear a new vibration. After thinking, I hope the wheels don't fall off, I dismissed it and enjoyed the ride. Today I started to look and touch everything looking for something important that might have come loose and needed to be corrected.

Wait for it.....wait........ I did find something very interesting. The bike has 4 spark plugs. Yes you may all laugh at my expense and I will hear you and smile. I pride myself in being a pretty good small engine mechanic, and you would have thought when I changed the plugs 2 months ago I would have noticed, the other 2. Nope!

I'm thick skinned so post as you wish.

One of these days I'll run down that way and show you how much I don't know about your bike too!

Indeed it is. In fact the Yamaha dealer I went to with my bike told me that my bike only had 2

I hope ya found the plug for the turn signal fluid? Yamaha really hid that in a strange place. And the antifreeze is stored in the frame. LOL After that, the flux capacitor is a bitch to change as well.
