YZF750/1000R - The Fly 5

i went and looked at the instructions for the carb sync and the nozzles in the ends are dampers, they need to be the correct distance from the carb sync to smooth the vacuum pulses out, on mine its 90cm away from the tool. the motion pro may be different. It sounds like you can add some tube in front of that and be fine.
btw that van is awesome.

Thanks Doc. I run a 40 channel cb radio on road trips and a stereo with a 300w powered sub in it. It's my 4th chevy van since I was 17. I love them. This one is the long body and is lined all through the back with duraliner panels on the walls and floor. Nothing better for hauling bikes and camping (to me). I've been driving it out to Alabama for the Barber Vintage Festival for the last few years.

I can vouch ;)
He keeps Free Candy inside too!
Or rather, he said he did. I don't remember seeing any candy.
Actually, I don't remember much of anything after getting in.
But, I still have both my kidneys, sooo... 'silver linings' I guess ;D

Thanks Chris, I shot water out my nose laughing at this. Got to remember not to drink anything before reading posts

How's this for candy? I buttoned her up and took her out for some mountain air.

Heck yeah man! Love that thing!

:) Thanks 1fasgsxr.

recap...

So, since I picked this up last August:

- new tires
- new chain and sprockets
- new/rebuilt rearsets
- fairing repairs
- new rear solo seat cowl
- new front brake rotors
- new stainless brake lines
- new oem clutch and springs
- new stainless clutch line
- rebuilt all calipers + new pads
- new left mirror
- 26,000 mile valve adjustment
- new windscreen bolts
- new frame sliders
- lots of other little things

It's running like a beast but I can tell it still needs some carb tuning. That'll be next but in the meantime it sure felt good to get out on the road today.

:)

Looks killer, finally got one with proper headlights to fill the hole in my heart. This thread I think kept my search going.
