Coolant leak from under the crankcase of a 2010 XVS1300, which according to Yamaha Australia is normal event, as the plate is apparently the vent point for the mechanical seal on the water pump.

Anybody chat?

QGV79 — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 16:40:23 -0600

I remember some good conversations in the chat room on this site. Now I never find anyone in the place. I see an interactive chapter on here but what better way to interact than right in the chat room. I will continue to check the site when I get on the site, hopefully sometime I will find someone there sometime.

Fork Servicing Modification..

XVSKYM — Fri, 14 May 2010 07:37:19 -0600

I spent 10 minutes modifying my forks so I could install the OHLINS fork springs and service the forks without disassembling the whole front end.

Trim the shrouds covering the lower fork pinch bolts.

Now all you have to do is remove front wheel, front guard and the pinch bolts. Now you just slide out the forks and service them. No removing handlebars and top fork clamp.... :-)

I need to replace my Throttle Cables with 2 to 3 inches longer cables. Anyone have any idea where I can order these cables from? Thank you.

Has anyone ground the floorboard yet?

steelrider — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:23:52 -0600

I was riding today and for the first time I leaned too far and the floorboard and scrubbed the deck! It sent a little tingle up my spine which I can say was kinda thrilling, but at the same time was sort of terrifying!
Also I would like to hear the stories of riders going over hills and the unexpected waiting for them. I did that today and there were three dogs in the road. I hit the brakes(not too hard) (I am gratefull for the great brakes on my 1300t)and I blew the tinny sounding factory horn and they scattered thank God! I will be looking into a louder horn now.

Oiled Foam Air Filters

XVSKYM — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 01:02:27 -0600

Hi Guys,
See the below Email and join me in asking for a good air filter to be made for our bikes. Email them and put your name down...

Hi Kym,
Thanks for your email. At this stage we have not had enough demand for this filter to justify the setup cost to produce them. If the interest increases we will look at making it.

Hi Guys,

I have just bought a 2008 Yamaha XVS1300 V-Star and was wondering if you had a filter in the pipeline?
