What did you do to your Yamaha today?

snow and Ice melted away yesterday on roads hit 55 F and last night some rain.
today is 45 degrees. weather channel said it was going to stop raining for 90 minutes

so I took my 750 out for the first ride of 2020 did 30 miles fill the tank and brought her home for a bath.
expecting 3/4 inch of freezing rain tonight and 2 or 3 snow storms this week back to sub 32 degrees.

 

I will trade. 70F and rain all week here. In January... AC is on! ugh

 

the storms your having are coming my way but its going to be snow may not get to ride again until march.
in my summer time we only have to use an AC about 6 days of the summer

 

Well I can't advise coming to Wilmington to ride unless you want to end up in the ER. I'll probably trailer my bike out of town to ride. Too many accidents from a-hole drivers running red lights, cutting lanes through intersections and just not caring about any traffic laws. You should see traffic circles being used, if people could drift to not have to yield they'd do it in a heartbeat.

 

Whooh watching the Chiefs and Texans ...might be the best start for any team...and biggest comeback...so temp hit 37 degrees had bike on tender had not started bike In couple of weeks ...started up ran for about 15 minutes ...just enough for wife to yell about the exhaust smell..I want to ride it will warm up in March last year it stayed cold and wet till May

 

Next time she does her nails be sure to complain about the smell..

 

i completely disassembled mine... now off to the powder coating and chroming guys

 

Got a ride in today. So good for the mental health after 3 weeks of snow, rain and a bad knee. Probably pretty good for the battery too Started right up after a new fuse box and battery in the fall.

 

i sit with mine in the morning and have a cup of coffee while wondering if they are warm enough under their blankets.

it will be -11F tomorrow morning

 

Mine taunts me everytime I go in the shop...

 

Walked by the two on the work tables and headed for the snow blower. Should warm up a bit next week so I can finish the shims.

 

mine snicker at me when I get the snowblower.

got about 8 inches of fluffy snow sat night through sunday morning

 

Snow? It has been in the 70s here. So much for winter at the beach

 

the lights on my battery tenders finally turned green, 4 days.
time to take one out to the cub cadet

 

Please can I be helped with the user guide to fix my Yamaha Maxim XJ 400 engine, I've had it for six years and had shitty repair men. I wish to do it myself! Even any xj repair manuals I think will do! Please!

 

is your bike the 4 cylinder XJ400?
motor is close to the XJ550 motor.

 

Repaired an about 1" long crack, tear, crevasse, in the frame at the front lower bend of the left downtube. It was wide enough that I had to make a steel plate to weld over it.

 

SQLGuy, we need pics of this.....pls

 

I can post a pic of the "after", but I didn't take any of the "before".
