Yeah, I think I came across them in my searches. I'll take a look or go to a manual cam chain tensioner. Tired of not riding.I'm not familiar with them, but I did stumble upon it a while back. Boats.net oddly seems to carry motorcycle parts. I guess if you're going to carry parts for their marine products, it's not that far a leap to offer parts for everything else.
I ordered from the boat.net place, but they don't have it in Stock either. So all 3 that carry it don't have it in Stock. It is supposed to be ready by 5/19 so it is sooner than the other place. If they delay longer I think I'm going with a manual chain tensioner.Other than that, all I can think is to try and haggle with the dealership. I know the local one here doesn't budge a cent, but the one I bought the bike from in Washington was always keen to make a deal.
Yeah, I also noticed a lot of aftermarket parts referenced in various threads are gone.I've noticed quite a few items for our bike are on back order. I'm wondering if they're winding down production, or if there's really that many people replacing obscure parts.
I'll look when I get home. Only one I've seen that actually says whether it's in Stock is bikebandit.com other ones don't tell you until a while after you order. GrrrrrCheck out Yamaha Parts (OEM) For Sale | Yamaha Parts House It appears that they have it in stock.
Well originally I thought the cam chain tensioner failed so I ordered one which was a project since no one keeps them in stock. Last night after ripping the bike apart and getting to the cams I realized it was far worse. May not be horrible if it's possible to swap the cylinder heads on the bike without removing the engine. I've found some used low mileage cylinder heads on ebay. Really just waiting on Marthy to get his opinion, but he's in Italy at the moment. So yeah this sucks. Riding season is really just getting going and my bike is disassembled in my garage.This is a very hard thread to read, Im sure you love that bike like we all do. s:shakeheadrry to hear about this man!!
You are definitely the man. I really need to check the cam chain to make sure it didn't get f'd up. If I do decide to just swap cylinder heads can it be done on the bike? I will post pics here or text them, which ever is easier. I need a new valve cover gasket, new cam bolts at the least. Piece of the bolt was on top of chain when I opened it up. Chain is still tight and not broken though. Gonna definitely use LOCKTITE!!! Just realized you said email so email it will be. Might give me peace of mine to put a new cylinder head on there, but may tried the weld first. Thanks for peace of mind.I'll call you went I get back to base camp. Nothing to swap... buy some hi-temp JB weld, 2 can of brake clean and a good oil change kit... well I suggest 2. One with cheap oil just to ride for 20-50 miles and dump the oil.
Get some green locktite... bolt should not have back down...
This part of the head fonction is to protect the chain and keep the oil inside. Might need to patch the engine from the outside.
Email me few pics... Ill get back to you next week.
