#238557 scottw (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1608 Re:Lessons learned? 2 Years, 6 Months ago   So for for me being new to the R* my lesson learned is not tu run a dunlop 404 tire on the front of the bike (thats rec by yamaha) which made it unstable at all speeds at all times you were riding it. And yes i checked tire pressure,tried rec 36 lbs then tried all the way to 42bs with same result,ubstable as heck. Also checked steering head bearing preload and front tires bearings too,they were all tight,bike just turned 5k miles & is like new. I also was told the dunlops were an issue on front of R* by a few other people here in RSC too. So i replaced the new downright dangerous handling Dunlop with a bridgstone 703 of same size and WALLA!!!!! problem solved,bike handles great now. I feel the Dunlop 404 is a poor quality tire IMHO.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 4346 Re:Lessons learned? 2 Years, 6 Months ago   Great idea for a thread. The only thing I would undo is the highway pegs I put on my little Yama engine guards. They are useless, but the installation marred the surface of the bars so I leave them on to cover the scratches.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 3789 Re:Lessons learned? 2 Years, 6 Months ago   Using Chrome replacements for the bolts that hold the filter on and tourquing it to specs. They break easy...so don't ever use chrome bolts where you need to torque it down to "HOLD" something down...you'll cry like I did when you see a broken bolt inside that thread!!!!   Logged     My Garage Wind Therapy Riders Patriot Guard Riders May you always be in the Wind and May She Always Smile upon you   The administrator has disabled public write access. #238923 Dealer5d (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 239 Re:Lessons learned? 2 Years, 6 Months ago   I found out the hard way that if a bolt is going in hard and not stripping to just run a tap down it to clean out anything. I found that out after I broke a banjo bolt off in my new forward controls. I got it squared away and it now works dandy.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #238924 03roadie (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 79 Re:Lessons learned? 2 Years, 6 Months ago   Tried syn-oil, my engine sounded more mechanical and noisy. Maybe it was just me. Took it out and went back to dino.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
