    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Fellas-

I am working on my Yammie right now, and specifically swapping electrical components over from one motor to another due to the seller cutting all of the cables flush to the engine. Anyways, Yamaha has the stator wires screwed tot he bottom of the engine, so, accessibility was a concern. I decided to rely on Walmart and buy these tie-downs for $20 and hoist them up. Works great!

You're holding an engine up with friction straps, then working under it? Did I read that right? :confused:
 
It was only to get to the stator wires. I just have them held up now for storage. The straps have a redundant safety mechanism I put on it with safety wire, etc. Those things are not going anywhere, despite a manufacturing defect!

lift or stand

i use old office chairs remove the seat and use the base. if u want to u can weld adjustable rails so the bike can be bolted on. it also can go up and down
