I just replaced the fron pads at 7300 miles. The old pads were a few thousands from the metal so good timing. I could tell they were gone. It was a bit more of...
This will sound crazy, but I used to wear the old guloshes. You know with the buckles down the front. They can be worn over anything, there warm and will keep...
unless your going to buy some motocross or road race boot your not really going to get much protection from boots. hiking boots and work boots dont really...
... That may be true, but it doesn't negate the fact that boots (particularly "above the ankle boots") *do* offer some more protection than other types of...
i wasnt saying normal boots offered no protection just not enough to put tons of thought into it. they will offer a little padding from bruises and prevent...
The feedback is appreciated. On the subject of tires, there is a guy who parks near me with a new Buddy 125. I noticed the it has the same Cheng Shin tires as...
My 04 came with matching tires, I've changed tires a couple of times and I do know some tires need to to be running opposite front to back (As in my Pirelli...
Rear tires can actually be quite different. Different demands due to increased torque and traction. Some manufacturers make a separate front & rear tire and...

I just had to change the rear tire on my 2006 Vino and when I was finished I noticed a plastic like washer on the floor. Looking at the parts drawing I believe...

So my Vino is very near the 2,000 mile mark, according to the manual I should be taking it in for service. Long story short, I took it into my local Yamaha...
I took it to a local shop that is "certified" by Yamaha, but you'd never know it. Everything is Harley and Buell. They did,however, do a great job, and the...
I don't think it needs anything but an oil change at that mileage. I personally think you got ripped off and seldom do I go to a dealer. ... [Non-text...
Gwen $275 is at least $100 too much for 2K service. Ask dealer exactly what they will be doing. Sometimes that opens their eyes and changes the price. If not...
The oil changes (both engine and rear drive) should be simple. Cleaning the rear drive air cleaner is simple as well. The engine air cleaner is supposed to be...
$275 is a "we don't want your business" price. Tell them you got the message and find another shop. Or pay yourself $275, less the price of a few tools, to...

Brian, Well put...well said. I'm the only adult male I know who works on his own vehicles aside from older classic car club folks. I only take my vehicles -...
So Ive been curious, does this new sparkplug really help the vino? And where do I get one? What specs should I ask for? The guy at auto zone was clueless when...
David I put one in my '07 Vino after reading about it here. I found that, yes, it did raise the idle ever so slightly and the bike did run better with it. I...
My Iridium plug installation back when the bike had less than 3K miles, approaching 20k, no problem and no hick-up - almost consistent 85mpg and on long trips...

That's the same plug I put in, no problems, but no noticable difference. I don't put that many miles on . ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Thanks for the responses everyone, I was pretty certain the guy was full of it but always like to do my research. I've got a friend who is very handy with cars...
We bought a maintenance agreement with our Vinos which means we paid for 5 years of service ahead of time but it dropped the price considerably. I think the...
