  • why does that 929 sound like that? lol..i have owned several 929's over the years and none have sounded that horrible!

  • jeyy i have yamaha XJ650 special 1980.. some questions r there can any body help?

  • @dawino6260 I used to have a 1965 305 SuperHawk, Wish I still had it now. Had many good times on that bike. Also had an early model Bridgestone 90, . I think we are giving away our age, lol !!!

  • @surrynet That's allright - your "old ways" are the reason I've got so many classic bikes over the years for next to nothing - i'm doing a 64 305 dream and a 72 Rickmann right now. and a very rare pre-EPA ban V-max (mfd Dec. 1984) that I've had sitting around since the 80's

  • @dawino6260 I stand corrected, guess I was just used to when my jap bikes got alot of miles I just got rid of them. I'll have to think different now. Guess I was just stuck in my old ways, LOL. Once again thanks for the info.

  • @dawino6260 I've learned alot by chatting to you, I appreciate it.

  • @surrynet My V92 is on its 3rd transmission in 12,000 miles - common for all the first year V92's though - the good Victories are from 02 up but avoid the Vision from 08 up (too much stuff to go wrong - the less that can go wrong the less that will go wrong)... I had an 8 ball for a while but I gave it to my daughters ex boyfriend - never had a lick of trouble out of that one other than the fuel injection went out at 14k miles

  • @dawino6260 Another friend of mine has a Victory Vegas Jackpot, it's a really good bike also.

  • @surrynet - By the way - one of my goldwins also made it past 300k - with that kind of longevity I dont mind spending 500 bucks on a set of new cylinder sleeves vs. 400 bucks to have a set of jugs bored out - You CAN rebuild MOST (keyword = most) jap bikes as many times as you like - bit more money but thankfully you dont have to do it as often - I just re-did the victory V92 with a titanium trans and a bigger oil cooler - still overheats pulling my parts getter trailer same problem as my FLH

  • @surrynet That's an unfair statement -- Most folks dont know you can re-sleeve most jap bikes - including Goldwings - My Red CB900 made 315k and just recently got new JUGS, rebuilt head, cam.. etc -- That one you can rebuild as many times as you like - but say a vf700 has to be resleeved as does a VTR1000. CB750-1100 just pop on new jugs - my red cb900 just got punched to 10 over for the first time at 315k miles without buying new jugs first rebuild on that engine
