Having had one of these beasts, I can tell you they were weird and wonderful, but an absolute PIA to work on. I am convinced that the Yamaha 850 twin was never designed to be worked on by motral hands. This was recently posted on the V-Strom list ....> argue about list.. > Dan /|\

Oh yeah, go do a CBX tune up. Carb sync and valve lash should only take up most of the riding season. That is why I like them. Cause everyone else on this planet HATES them.... Dan /|\> but an absolute PIA to work on. > Yamaha 850 twin was never designed to be worked on by motral hands.

Hey, knock yourself out. I'd rather be riding anyway. Besides, real bikes don't have 6 cylinders> > Oh yeah, go do a CBX tune up. Carb sync and valve lash should only > take up most of the riding season. > That is why I like them. Cause everyone else on this planet HATES > them.... > Dan /|\
