I've been doing a lot of searching and I'm trying to figure out what I can do about wiring up a single LED headlight. From what I've read, I just need to find something with a low enough draw for the stock stator in order to avoid putting in a battery. I'm just looking for somethin cheap and rectangular that I can make a bracket for. The previous owner had cut off the brackets for the stock headlights... Any thoughts?

Somethin like that. Maybe some less traditional colors

Probably can't.... and if you can, they'll be big money. Krylon fusion

Just snapped a needle in one of my carbs. They're round slide Mikuni. Problem is, theres a crap ton of different series 6 needles http://jetsrus.com/a_jets_by_carburetor_type/needle_mikuni.html . Anyone know which is correct for stock shee carbs?

Digital camo! Pick some cool colors.

the bore and pistons could look fine, but you have to mic both of them from multiple spots and calculate your clearance between the two. Too much, and you need to get bored out to the next size.

I haven't tried them yet in the snow yet. We're actually very late on getting snow up here in northern illinois. Plus I've got my engine apart for a top end. I ride my buddies' Honda TRX 250, 400, 450 etc. out on the lake with them and they're on their regular dirt tires and it's a blast. I did a ton of searching around the web yesterday and got mixed reviews of what do to in the snow. Some people say banshees just have too much power and spin the wheels. Then others say they're fine. That's why I figured I can't go wrong with those AMS Sidewinders for 20.99 a piece for 22's. I've seen a bad review with pictures of those AMS paddle tires wearing out real fast, but if I stay in pure snow, I couldn't imagine any brand new tires wearing out in a handful of rides. And if they do, I guess I'll just sheet metal screw the crap out of my fast trekkers.

Interested in the haulers on rims. Shipping to 60098? Thanks.

I just want somethin to get me through a handful of rides in the snow out on the lake. As long as the tires won't fall apart, wear out in one ride, etc., I'll take them.

I usually go out on the snowmobile packed lake with my buddies a handful of times over the winter. I'm gonna need a tire that will actually move my shee in the snow. However, it really only has to last for those handful of rides out there. I've seen the Pro Wedge II and I'm going to pursue a pair of those, but I'm not sure they're made for a 10" rim. I've read the AMS paddle tires don't last for s**t. The thing is, I can get a pair of them shipped to my doorstep for $46.98. Think I can make them last for 3-6 rides out on the lake?

Dropped them off at the local Yamaha dealer. 80 bucks a hole. I've done a lot of business there, I just never realized they did their own machine work. Should be ready to go this week some time.

Yeah I'm just going to do the whole top end the next size up. From what I read, the '29L' crank is the stock yamaha crank after all, so the guy I bought it from who said it's a 390 stroker, either didn't know what crank he put in there, or was just fullof it... But either way, this crank gets the 513 pistons (or whichever brand non stroker pisotns I choose)? I'll need to find a shop to bore them out. The only one I've found so far quoted me $320 for the pair. Sounds about twice as much as it should be, right?

Okay heres what I've learned. I checked my compression with my own tester before pulling it apart. I've got 125 in the right, 120 in the left. Not near as bad as I was told, but that explains why it started up first kick every time. Pulled in apart. Pistons are in marked with ".50" on the tops. That's all she wrote. Crankshaft is marked "29L". Then I mic'd my bores and pistons The right side: 2.539 and.534 (clearance of .005). And the left side: 2.537 and .532 (clearance of .005). Those numbers in metric figures are just a hair under 64.5mm, which puzzles me as I thought they would have been exactly 64.5 brand new and probably a hair bigger now. Don't know what I'm gonna do now. The bores and pistons are in spectacular physical shape if it wasn't for the .005 clearance. Any input here would be appreciated.
