How do I remove my motorcycles engine's valve cover?
The hex bolts keeping the valve cover on are too tight, or stripped. I already stripped my hex key trying to get this one difficult one off, which I stripped at the same time. The engine is a yamaha 650 in line 4, and my brother pulled it off his 1982 Seca. I have very few tools, and I need the bolt off.
I don't have an easy out. The block is also aluminum.
buy an impact driver.. $20 will get the bolts out..
or cut the hex key about 1 inch long.. put it in the bolt.. tap the hex key whilst turning it with a spanner.. ( this is very similar to the impact driver )
I just bought a Yamaha V-star 1100. This is my first bike and I love it at 40mph. But when I get up to 55 its WAY too much wind. So, the obvious solution is a windshield. Looking at windshields online I found they come in different heights. Are there any rules for how high a windshield should be? Why go shorter versus going taller? Also, any good websites for parts?
Ok, I'm gonna give you the best advice you can get on this subject.
1) YOU DONT want to be looking through the windshield under normal riding positions. It will distort vision AND when it rains etc it will become a problem.
2) A shorter windshield still deflects wind and rain a few inches above it.
3) To select the right windshield, go to yamaha dealer and sit on a 1100 silverado (Same bike but has windshield already) Then sit on it like you were riding, Your normal line of site looking ahead should be a couple inches above the windshield.
Now these come in 2 positions so the dealer can tell you how tall the one is on the silverado, You can then decide if you need smaller or taller. Buy the one that at its tallest is what you think you need as you can always drop it down 1 click (It has 2 positions apx 1 to 1.5" diff in height"
What can I do to make my Yamaha FJR1300 look more sporty?
Do anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to make my Yamaha FJR1300 look more sporty?
- I would like to change the windshield because it seems to high for a sporty look.
-I would like more of a sporty riding position as well
any ideas? Thank you
the bags are removable so I guess that would be a start. I know they sell longer handle bar extensions for this bike, maybe they also make them shorter than stock. Beyond that it will beat all but the fastest sport bikes out there so I would say it is plenty sporty.
