  1. It's still nonsense.

    Well this guy is on *my* wave length...

    What concerns me mostly is why Yamaha Canada refused to admit my
    Links in Message-ID: <> and opted
    by saying the problem was not in their Dbase....what do U suppose that
    means...another "Garage Tree Mechanic" or Recall shrug off?

    The only good Yamaha Motor is the USA one!...UK....Canada, forget
    it they send us the bottom level of Jap Crap, and don't followup or give
    sufficient warranty grounds.

    The speedo in Canada is all metric, not metric and USA, but metric
    only....although my LCD Display showed the oil change at 3000miles rather
    than 600K, 5,000K....

    Some Canadian ppl feel sort of privileged when something in Canada
    says (Not for Resale Outside of Canada) on products.

    The Kph meter is not an exclusive priviledge, it might just be a
    way of not being able to sell the M/Cycle across the border, it may be the
    other way around, but positive thinking tells me if the Majesty is stolen
    and goes to the USA, it will be found out by the Kph speedo
    markings.....it's so huge, like the Tach.

    Why does a scooter have an analogue Tach for, there is no shifting
    yellow line, and the speedo is another back to analogue redundancy.......so
    many fucking laws...

    Could be???...........what they (Yamaha) said about it was "well
    that's just Internet Stuff"......does that sound familiar with the jaded
    concept of *down to earth* bullshit Corporate attitudes????

    I try to express my point in every media I can in no real
    FIAT.....formal concept.....

    If you do a CEO corporate composite, they still have you as dumb
    clock punching sucker, so they'll try to jerk you around even on the
    *straight* level....

    Today they asked me what Yamaha Dealer I was going to take my Maj to
    so their Territorial Service Rep, could contact them to "set me up for
    something"???........

    I think they are still referring to the 2 recalls I haven't done yet
    because the Maj don't really need it yet...just a waste of time since almost
    99% of the Maj Factory fuel pump recalls were not needed at all.

    My Yamy Dealer has the parts for the 2 recalls, but told me they
    aren't needed for some time yet....as for the ECU, the Dealer hasn't
    contacted me on my queries....

    Take them up on it, if it were me I'd want the territory rep to be
    present, but I probably wouldn't want to go to the smallish dealer I
    think you bought from as they've done things like mount turn-signals
    on a brand-new bike upside down - after a month, they were full of
    water! Longer trip I know, but I'd go to the bigger dealers like the
    one out Langley way.

    Only on cold days...cold being UNDER 35F. Well that's my definition,
    what would I know I've installed AC compressor units when it was 25F.
    Getting the torch lit was the hardest part as the winds were a good
    bit over 25mph that day. 8^(

    IME the butane pencil irons aren't well suited to outdoor automotive work.

    It was cold and windy at the time and by the time I'd turned the gas up high
    enough to make acceptable joints, it overheated when idle and ruined the
    tinning on the tip.

    Also for some unknown reason the catalyser gauze only glows round one side
    of the burner since.

    Electric soldering irons shouldn't be bothered on windy days unless
    it's damn cold.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

    I've had even 60W temperature controlled irons struggle indoors in a bloody
    cold workshop.

    The OP might not find it easy to obtain a TC iron rated at 12V (there were
    the 24V Weller TCP-1 irons - if you can still get them) so the choices are
    along the lines; 12V (not temcont), 2 batteries in series to run a 24V iron
    (if you can still get them) -or- a small mains voltage from 12V inverter
    (probably less than 50% efficient - so much increased current draw for a
    given wattage).

    Another option is a computer backup UPS - but most types have a 'safety
    feature', you can't just activate them and get mains from them - you have to
    simulate a power outage by first plugging it into a wall socket and then
    unplugging it with the load connected and running.

    In my garage there's an old salvaged UPS with faked mains - a blocking
    oscillator/inverter wired to the charging transformer to make the circuit
    board think it had mains.

    When the 'U' lock securing my motorcycle refused its key one morning I was
    able to run the angle grinder away from any mains socket, long enough to cut
    the lock.
