  • First Ride punch list

    1. Speedometer is slow to respond needle is steady but I'm in 3rd winding past 5K it still reads about 15 mph it eventually comes up to speed I think (seems about right) anybody got any Ideas. Also what speed should I see at say 4k in 4th and 5th so I can get an idea if it's close after it comes up.

    2. Get a little popping in the exhaust on deceleration it has Harley mufflers on it and I think one of them may be leaking a little where it joins the pipe.

    3. Radio doesn't want to come in on AM can you listen to WFAN at 80 on a motorcycle. LOL

    4. Still haven't put the spring under the oil filter gota find a yamarobber that has it but I'll get it in before I put ant real miles on it.

    My speedo did that too. Lube the cable (graphite lube) or replace the cable (what I did).
