Howdy folks! Sorry to hear about your friend Jay, I will say a prayer for him.

Anyone want the OEM FX4 Rancho shocks from my 07? Otherwise they are going in the dumpster.

I ran fine. Running it at the shop it fouled out a plug. I put new ones in, and pulled the carbs. They were clean as can be and good. Now the leak? I checked hoses as best I can, didn't see anything leaking. But I'll look closer tomorrow...

Just got off the phone with his wife. They got his BP up so they took him in for a procedure to find where the artery is still bleeding and they will cauterize anything they can find. If they don't find anything they will have to give him something to clot the blood. That will be a last resort.

Thanks Chris.

Can't imagine what I would do with the shocks

I wonder if it either has the wrong size main jet or maybe the choke is partially stuck on. How far did you go and how many gallons did you use?

I didn't go far. Like I said, it leaked out everywhere.

Choke seemed free moving and not stuck. I pulled the choke cables out just to make sure too. I'll have to spend some time looking at it. Do you know off the top of your head where the plugs are to drain the block?

Hey Chris!! No need for those shocks here.

Glad to hear they got his BP up! Hopefully they can get the rest taken care of soon!

Hey Chris!

Hopefully they get him all sealed up Jay. I'm sure his wife is frantic...

Was there literally gas leaked into the belly pan?

I do not believe Yamaha puts a block drain in.

Yes there was Jay. It was everywhere.

It was up by the fuel pump, and all the way down from there too.
