Hey Alaskey,

See this tech tip for photos about that bead seal ring indicator!

The gauge seals are still available from Yamaha....but if you want to fix it yourself....see this!

Thanks guys!

Turns out the tire's bead was sitting on a little part of the inner tube, it was a quick and painless fix! Sometimes things work out so nicely.

Hi everyone! Riding season is slowly dying here in Chicago. It looks like it might be time to take care of some of my larger problems. Starting with the oil that weeps from my left hand side muffler. The #1 and #2 plugs always end up a little more fouled.

I'm trading my buddy a compression tester to store his CB500T in my garage. Details to come.

I hope everyone else was busy riding safe!
