YAVR - Yet Another Vision Rebuild

[sunburnedaz]

"tuning fork" disk???? care to enlighten me on that one?

[akvision]

The little yamaha disc that is in fact 3 tuning forks and the vintage corporate Yamaha symbol.  It is visible on the tank and not stock for the V??? 
Correct me.

[sunburnedaz]

Oh I guess you are right that is not stock on the V but the tank came that way and I kinda like it better than the YAMAHA emblem spelled out.

[Re-Vision]

I like the decal better also.  Where can I get one, perhaps a wee bit larger.  Anyone know?  BDC

Looking good!  You're doing well.  The clutch cable looks a bit unrestrained.

Guy on e-bay has 50mm ones and says they are for a boat if that helps.

True true. So......... how does it route then. When i took it off I swore it was loose like it is in the pics.

[Night Vision]

it's supposed to go behind the radiator and snake up through the inside of the headlight bracketry..

can't tell, but yours might be a tad long.... can you tell us how many tads long it is? maybe someone has a known 82 clutch cable to compare

[Re-Vision]

The last page of the Yamaha manual and all of my assembled bikes show the cable above the radiator going between the forks and bending back by the odometer reset knob on the way to the clutch lever.  BDC

[sunburnedaz]

Ok so I re routed the clutch cable after I took the pictures.

I found some more parts that were part of the purchase price of the vision but I didn't want to open them till I got the bike running. Now that it is running time for some exploring in more parts.

First I got some OEM Yamaha engine guards. Even still had the instructions with them  :o

Right Side


Left Side


I also got the full fairing kit with braces and mirrors.

Nose Piece




Right Side Faring






The fairings are in rough shape but I am going to start on them as a winter project. Going to repair the fiberglass, sand and paint them here at the house over the next few months so that this old girl can have a new shiny fairing set to match the new shiny tank she has.

[QBS]

You've got some tasty bits.  Hope you got the correct mirrors and low rise risers.  Other mirrors can be fitted but they don't look as good as the correct ones'.  The correct risers look and work much better with the fairing handlebar cut outs than the high risers do.  Also, set back foot pegs were part of the full fairing set up.  They complete the low riser, set back foot peg, ergonomic package.

Do you have a radiator shroud?  BDC

Mirrors - Yes.
Risers - don't know. I have an extra set of them but they are the same size the current ones. How could I tell.
Foot pegs - Dont know, how would I find out?

Do you have a radiator shroud?  BDC

Yes 2 of them. I had it installed before I swapped rads the other day. I was getting over heating issues because the rad was so plugged up even after flushing it and running a high performance fluid. I had already cleaned a spare rad that I had and was all pretty so I swapped that one over to the bike. I need to put the shroud back on.

Before the swap running down the road with the speedo pegged in 40 degree weather I would still have the temp between the 2/3 and HOT mark. If I sat in traffic it would over heat and boil the coolant into the overflow till it puked it onto the street.  After the swap I did the same run and it sat between the 1/4 and 1/2 mark. Sitting in traffic it only gets up to the 7/8ths mark before the fan kicks on and drops it to the 3/4 mark and then turns off.

Nathaniel, 83 risers are a couple of inches shorter than the 82's, steel part of footpegs are built different so as to position  them farther back.  Got your check.  When you install the fairing you will have to remove the engine guard.  BDC

:'( permanently?

LOL you know my real name now. haha

[Lucky]

or Rick can make you a custom top tripple tree like he made me.  (for my birthday, Thanks again Rick!)  Rick welds common bar clamps to our risers so you can use whatever tube bars you choose...

the taller 82 risers will hit the windshield on an 83, but if you angle them just so only the corner of the master cyl will hit (scrape actually) the inside of the windshield for about 3/8ths of an inch.  until i install ricks tripple & find bars for it, i have made a clip that installs over the windshield for the corner of the master cyl to slide over.

:'( permanently? 

:) You have choices here:

1 x Keep the engine guards. Install the upper fairing only.

2 x Remove the engine guards and install the FULL fairing.

3 x As #2.......but cut up the fairing lowers to accommodate the engine guards!!!

8).......TIGER....... 8)

Damn, Well my pretty newly cleaned up rad was cleaned so well that it cleaned out the crud out of the TINY hole in one of the rad tubes. I have cleaned out the original one that was on the bike lets hope it doesn't have the same problem of this old one.

Has anyone tried these emblems, they look pretty good to me even though a little expensive.   BDC
