    Ignition coils & water ingress: don’t change them too quickly!!! (Part1)

    A thin metal cylinder that wraps around the coil. It is not a complete cylinder, there is a small gap. You can just slide it off.

    Front Guard - Does it exist

    That was my first thought when I saw this. See the attached picture that has been edited. A green line was added to show about where the top of the fender would be if the forks were completely compressed / bottomed out.

    Steering head bearing replacement

    When I replaced the bearings on mine a few years ago, I also had problems with that lower bearing. I got the job done but it was a real pain to get off. Has anyone used a Bearing Separator for this job? If so, how well did it work? If you could just get a few mm separation, it would be a lot...

    Looking for a power pack car jumper starter like NOCO GB40 to carry in top box

    This is my understanding of how you are thinking about connecting your XP-3 to jump start your bike.

    Stay away from this Air filter

    (reference the attached picture of my new HiFlo filter) Pictured is the bottom side of the filter. You can see the raised ridge along the outer edge of the filter. This ridge fits in a channel in the airbox. It seats against a rubber gasket in the channel to make an airtight seal. Here are some...

    Looking for a power pack car jumper starter like NOCO GB40 to carry in top box

    If you have a pigtail on the bike battery to charge it with the Optimate you do not want to use that to jump start the bike. That probably has an SAE connector and would not fit in the jump start port on the XP-3 anyway. You would need to order the 16″ Clampless Starting Harness (or the 42")...

    Stay away from this Air filter

    Paul466 I just now tried to install the HiFlo filter that I purchased in Oct 2023, and it is not a good fit. Yes, I'm sure you could force it, but it is a rigid plastic and I do not think that would be a smart thing to do. I was thinking I had used the HiFlo filters on this bike before but...

    Stay away from this Air filter

    I've used these before with no problems. I believe thats what I have in there now. I have an unopened box just like that in my garage. Did you purchase yours recently? Checked my order history at Rocky Mountain ATV, I ordered the air filter, spark plugs and rear brake pads on Oct 9, 2023...

    Looking for a power pack car jumper starter like NOCO GB40 to carry in top box

    Very valid concern. I've carried a Antigravity XP-3 for 7 years. Never had to use it on my Tenere until about a year ago when I was on a road trip. I had stopped at a park and left the key on, came back and would not start. Connecting the jump start battery to get a good connection was very...

    Poor starting - electrical

    You have a 2013, is that right? Looking at the wiring diagram in the service manual it looks to me like its the connector on the wiring harness from the Right handlebar switch. Wires from these switches go to that connector: 90. Front brake light switch 91. Engine stop switch 92. Start switch...

    Eastern Beaver PC-8

    If I remember right, there are two black rubber boots in the area just to the right of the top side of the battery and just to the left of the space for the tool bag. In one of these boots there should be 2 connectors (a 3 pin and a 4 pin connector). The PC-8 uses the 3 pin connector. This...

    Headlight Bulb Connector

    Yamaha should install the revised harness for no charge if it has not already been done. With a new harness you would get new connectors at both ends of the wiring harness. The connector at the other end of that harness has been known to do the same thing. The female connector starts to open up...

    Headlight Bulb Connector

    Yes, its part of the headlight harness assembly. (Item 5 in the headlight parts diagram.) In the US, there was a recall on the Gen 1 bikes to replace the headlight harness assembly for this same problem. The new harness had a better connector for the headlight bulbs. How many miles on the...
