oldchopperguy Update: All done with the mirror problem. Went ahead and cut off the tabs, loosened the Banjo Bolt (slightly) and the handlebar clamps. Then, gave each one, a little twist and tightened everything up again. This worked out great and only took about 15 minutes. After a short test ride, it was nice to see, the road behind me and the brakes worked fine. Now, there's even room to adjust them downward if needed. I didn't need to bleed the brakes and the handles aren't much lower or even noticeable than before. I will however, keep an eye open for any small leaks just in case, though I don't expect any. As with anything I do on my bikes, there is always that short period of time, to gain 100% trust. Now I can keep my mirrors and actually use them safely. Thanks for the input, Loren, having my cake and eating it too, in Texas.

oldchopperguy As I was going through the Honda Reflex Manual PDF, I found a diagram of the brake handle and "Banjo Bolts", that shows to replace the copper washers with new when changing. This got me to wondering if it would be safe to loosen them and not replace them. I just don't want any leaks. Part of me says, yes it's safe, the other part says get new. EDIT: After posting this, I did some Google'n, and found out that copper washers can be re-used after Annealing with a torch to soften the copper again. Just need to get buy a torch if I do it this way. Thanks in advance for any input. Loren

oldchopperguy rockynv dollartwentyfive I was able to get the Iridium plug in last night with the help of a friend. I have had this new Orange Coil for a while now, bought it for my Red Sicily 150cc, but never installed it. Quick question: Will this coil work if installed on the YY250T ?
If so, then I'll get that done today also. Thanks, Loren

Please DO check possible mirror-adjustment options before moving the brake-line "banjo-bolts"... If you DO, just "crack" them loose the least amount needed to twist the lines. And don't squeeze the brake levers while the banjos are loosened. If air gets in there, you'll need to bleed the brakes and that's somewhat of a pain... LOL! .......... PS: I wouldn't be all that disappointed about having a CARBURETOR... They are easy to comprehend, and work just fine! I think over the long haul, a carb might even be a little less trouble-prone than injection, but I know many would argue THAT with me... Just an old-guy's opinionow itn... LOL!I still need to change out the brake fluid anyway. Already have a new, unopened, bottle and purchased a vacuum bleed kit from HF a couple weeks ago. SO...now it's a matter of Gitten'er Done. A Two-Birds/One Stone kinda thing. No,...I'm not disappointed with having a carb. I even wish this bike was air-cooled. At least there's no Body Control Computers and sensors out the Wha-zoo on these things. Loren

Loren,
My mistake... Your signature shows "Fuelly" by your mpg note. I thought that meant Fuel Injection... Duh... Old age brain-fart...
Anyway, I just perused eBay's offerings for temp-gauges and the selection never ends! There are NUMEROUS 12V gauges from $10 to "way too much". Most register in Celsius but Fahrenheit versions are available for us on this side of the pond...
Oh man!!....I was hoping I had missed something. LOL I'm starting to have eBay withdraws. I haven't had any deliveries since last week. I'll take a look quick and add some stuff to my collection for future reference. Once I can get to the connections and the instrument panel I'll know more. If need be I'll take it apart and check it out too. I want to check the trip odometer also, maybe, adjust and oil it up some. If the gauge is bad, it would be nice, to replace it with one from eBay in the original spot. I have found a new gauge cluster for as low as $50. But then I lose my "TRUE" mileage... Loren

oldchopperguy Thanks for the input on cutting the tabs off. That will probably be the route that I decide to take. But I will check the mount first. I hadn't thought of that. The mirrors in the link, I believe, are the same as mine and don't have a way to adjust them inside the housing. The one's with the signal are the type I have on Yellow, which, do adjust inside. I still need to check all the connections for the water-temp gauge. I'm still waiting on some warmer weather to start removing any major plastics for fear of breaking in the cold weather. I'd like them to be a little more pliable while I'm figuring out how to remove them. Like you say...in the 60's tomorrow. Loren

Hey! I just noticed your "signature"... You got FUEL-INJECTION? Very cool! You got Minnie Mouse one-upped there! She's an old carbureted hoss... DO I?....Where??
As far as I know, it's carb'ed. Unless you see something I'm missing. That would be nice though. Loren (dreaming about be injected) in Dallas.

With the warmer weather today I was able change out the stock plug with an Iridium IX. Was surprised that the RMP's went up and needed to adjust the idle down some. It does "seem to have" more Get-Up & Go now.

Pretty nice looking bike, especially, for the price. You may end up changing your mind and decide to keep it. Great little project bike for the Spring.

rockynv oldchopperguy The airbrush work will have to wait until Spring so there's time to figure it out. Thanks Leo for getting the juices flowing. But, for now, my concerns are with the Temperature Gauge and the Mirrors. I've adjusted the mirrors as high as I can get them without taking a chance of breaking them all together. Right now to use them is just plain dangerous and makes riding a bit unnerving by taking all attention off the road ahead. I can't just glance over and see behind me. I literally have to lean forward, duck down and shoulder check while the traffic is changing constantly ahead. Have also adjusted the master cylinders as much as possible to get a little more upward movement. Problem there, is a TAB, that keeps the brake lines from twisting and coming loose (my best guess anyway) and are wedged between the tab and handlebar. I could cut the tabs off, loosen the brake lines and turn the switch housings forward some more. That would also turn the brake handles down a little more. How far down I don't know unless I cut the tabs off. It's the same situation on both sides. ANY thoughts on doing this...? I really like the look of mine and Parts For Scooters has similar if not the SAME one's in stock. I've emailed them for info, just awaiting a reply. Maybe theirs have more adjustment.(fingers crossed) I know there's a ton of different mirrors available, but, not to my liking. No Skeleton Hands, Dagger Styles or the little one's that belong on a child's Tricycle. Just a nice clean look. Loren (Can't see what's in the rear view) in Dallas.

oldchopperguy spandi Thanks guys, will take those into consideration. Except for Moby. lol But I'm kinda leaning toward "Yin Yang" as in YY250T. Also,I'm a Pieces and the two go well together. Wanting to do some "Ghost Pearl" airbrush work and incorporate it into a design. Loren
