Great observation. I did learn that about the kickstand but not at that point specifically. If you look closer, I didn’t have my gloves and backpack on. I moved the bike first to let it warm up, then got my gear and gps ready lolNice video. At minute 1:12 you discovered the bike won't run if you have the kick stand down. Ha!
I see you went to school in Stockton. Do you live in the area? We have a large group here in the general area of Sacramento. Great video editing BTW. Welcome to the madness!
Your response energizes me. Trails and stopping for a cold one sound ideal. Will def look into itOh yea! Lots of easy stuff to get your feet wet. Don't bother with Prairie City OHV Park, it's way too rocky. Rock Creek OHV area out of Georgetown is much better. Look up the trail maps on line and check into the green trails. They are the easiest. Lots of logging road further up Hwy 50 towards the Crystal Basin area too. Some of the local guys get together for rides out near Clear Lake area too.
I'm in Placerville area, worked in the mountains on hydro electric dams most of my career and now split my time between kayak fishing, trail riding and skiing. When the weather gets a little better, we'll head out to Georgetown for an afternoon of trails and stop in at the Georgetown Hotel for a cold one. Lots of gold rush history abounds in that area worth checking out.
Nope I checked. I have all six of my screws where the air filter is. Two holding the side fender piece then four holding the filter cover. These screws are smallerThose two screws, either air filter cover or the side panel covering the air filter.
First off Welcome to the forum from MississippiHey what’s up tdub community. I recently got a used one, finished revitalizing it, and made a video about it. I have a question about two small screws at the 6:10 mark of the video. Thanks in advance if you can help
Well dayum!! Water was deeper than I thought!! And, here I thought it was only just above the knee!Welcome to the forum from Florida, @q4short !
Perhaps the screws are what holds the little reflector on at the bottom of the rear fender below the tag. As you can tell in the picture, my reflector ain't doing me much good at the present Florida mud riding conditions left over from a ride @SpeedyTide and myself went on yesterday that lasted well into the night.
Here's speedytide ringing out the mud and water from his socks after he poured about 6oz of water out of each boot.

I liked the green one so much and wanted to copy it. When it turned out so ugly, I definitely regretted even painting. I wasn’t fan of the silver on the seat and could’ve lived with the rest but IMO black is a little safe and doesn’t have much character. Happy with my end product and that I’m the only one w the paint (unless someone copies mine)Welcome from Florida!! Congrats on the purchase!!
I dig the new paint job, BUT....I'm with Gully on this one.....can't believe you molested the '05 paint scheme! One the nicest looking IMO, but do understand your reasoning wanting to change it up.
Happy trails!!![]()
If Yamaha takes note of your paint job, you just might receive some stationary from a company with tuning forks as their logo requesting permission to copy. I like they way you finished it off giving it kind of a "patina" finish if you will. I don't think the video does your paint job enough justice, and, would like to see some pictures of it. Different angles and perhaps different light.Happy with my end product and that I’m the only one w the paint (unless someone copies mine)

Glad the screw mystery was solved.
