Yamaha authorized them to tear it down and swap parts to resolve the excessive engine noise issue. They say they've had good results doing this in the past so I'm encouraged. Only problem is, "What am I going to do without my bike for the next two weeks?". Go upgrade shopping Or maybe give some time and attention to things that are neglected when the bike is around, like... everything?

They replaced the rod bearings and the generator shaft. The engine sounds great. I installed my new mustang seat. It came with the offset post for the drivers backrest and the seat fits me and the bike great. They sky is blue and the birds are singing and life is wonderful!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #102585 PapaTom (User) I said 4 quarts.

Gotta say both the wife and I are very pleased with the decision. I'm 6'2" and 210 pounds and was really worried about the seat pushing me forward. The seat did seem to slide me forward and at first I though I would definitely need to purchase the floor board extensions. Funny thing, after riding the bike a while the "new feel" seems natural and I'm perfectly comfortable. Last weekend's 500 plus mile ride in the mountains confirmed I made the right decision.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/07/24 10:07 By Yakman.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #102840 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 7727 Re:Mustang vs. Ultimate Seats 9 Years, 7 Months ago   My .02 worth... I picked up a Corbin off of eBay last Summer. Put it on the day it arrived, and absolutely hated it immediately! The foam was very firm, and it allowed all the normal buzzes and vibrations of the bike to go right through to my posterior... and you know how those buzzes and vibes can change throughout the RPM range. There was a money back satisfaction guarantee. You know what I did.   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #354205 lloydh72 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 27 Re:Mustang vs. Ultimate Seats 6 Years, 11 Months ago   I am 5'8 and 220lbs. I don't do the 600 mile runs or anything. Mostly 300 or less and my stock seat kills me. Would the mustang seat be better off for me since I'm short?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #354209 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget. Platinum Boarder Posts: 8679 Re:Mustang vs. Ultimate Seats 6 Years, 11 Months ago   the mustang seat is nice, but very stiff. The ultimate is made of memory foam and will be softer from the get go, no break in time. (well it took one long ride when it was new).   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
