Ahhhhh hahahaha! Now you got me wondering how you knew. I don’t remember music playing in the video… Maybe when I started it? I gotta go back and look. :)

@@shaniqua418 all love, much respect, ride free. 🤟🙌

Good call! Actually wondered about this years ago and forgot. Thanks for the call out. Screwing it all the way in will cause you to have a higher oil on the dipstick resulting in a low oil level in actuality.

Also the first bike I ever owned that takes over 5qts of oil! Very pleased with that.

The exhaust note on that bike, especially with Cobra pipes, is wicked. Just don't crack the throttle anywhere near the popo, or you will have their full attention.

Yeah for sure. Everyone I have know that’s owned one had loved it

Bought a 2007 model new off the showroom floor in May of 2014. Not sure how this beauty carried over so long.?.?.? Still have and love it today! Sometimes wish for taller gearing but oh does she pull out of tight curves! Ride safe y'all...

How do you get that bolt out behind the exhaust for transfer case? Cut down a allen wrench? or take exhaust all off? yamaha really screwed up there.

Yeah, not a whole lot to it! Have at it!

Glad to help!

Just ran into that last night. Will be looking for a replacement plug bolt with a deeper head or an allen bolt for ease of removal. That thing is buried in there! 🤣

Those are the stock bags.

Thanks brother! Appreciate it. And yeah, they are stock on the Strat Deluxe

They are stock from Yamaha

Hahahaha. Glad to help.

This is the Vance & Hines. I think it’s discontinued now, but there are still some around.

They were there when I got it. Honestly they aren’t very sturdy. Just uses the plastic to Mount and they have already cracked. I think I am gonna replace and do more speakers. :)

Thanks man. It’s a Vance & Hines

Sorry I missed your comment. This is the stock fairing and stereo that comes with the Deluxe.

Alex, good call bud. I have used the 17 stubby before as well. Good to know about the filter. Did you find that out somewhere? Did your bike call for the 303? Not sure why my listing showed me the 204, but I certainly wouldn’t mind switching out of the rest is same (anti-draw back and all).

@@shaniqua418 I googled kn 204 vs 303 and found that info. I've been using the 303 for years and got that part number from a strat forum a while ago. I think the 204 is the newer part because of certain sport bikes needing more clearance being shorter. Strat has no clearance issue and works great. Also, there is a cover you can buy that will protect your oil filter from rocks and such and I highly recommend that addon.

Came with the bike. So unfortunately I don’t know.

I change mine twice a season minimum no matter the miles. If I happen not to ride much, it would be overkill, but typically I ride at least that much. It’s an investment, so I treat it as such.

It’s the Guardian Bell. Do a Google search for Motorcycle Guardian Bell. It keeps the road demons away. :)

About 35ish mpg, all are fuel injected

Hey Gerald, a Craftsman standard wrench or a stubby 17mm should work. But the wrench length you can use is probably determined on the ride height of your bike. I’ve definitely used a stubby 17mm before and just tapped the wrench with a hammer to loosen up the drain plug. :)

@@shaniqua418 I appreciate it. I swear my craftsman 17mm wouldn’t fit on there all the way. I’m assuming my 06 1900 is the exact same as the 07 and on models?

It’s hard to find any 10w40 unless you use the Yamilube. Unless you are in the great north, I rather use the 20w50. It covers the higher temps better. This is the second Liner I have had over several years and had nothing but good stuff to say about using it.

@@shaniqua418 thank you for answer I’ll follow your advise.Greetings from Anaheim CA

I use 5w40 full synthetic with no issues. I too live in south cali.

I love the Mustang seat and backrest!!!

I have a 2014 Strat with the mustang seat and adjustable back rest. It’s the best seat I’ve owned. So easy to do the long day rides of 500-600 miles.

No scratches. :)

That is what I saw. ha ha oooop's

@@shaniqua418 wow no joke, that’s really cool. I just bought an 06 Yamaha Stratoliner 30k miles where I live in San Antonio, Texas today and it has one on there, I was clueless. Thanks for the info, that’s pretty cool.

@@ryanalvarez1591 its also called a Gremlin bell ....and someone has to gift it to you and your bike for it to be effective...lol....yrs ago in the MC we was told a Brother has to care enough about you to gift you one so nothing happens to you !!!!....Lol

@@basshoh lol….. sooooo….. should I take it off?? Then I’d feel vulnerable 😅😂😂

I hear ya. No damage though. Trying to do stuff at home and I’ll-equipped. Was just trying to put together a video for my auto repair students. Just for technical info. :)

I was wondering the same. I would expect a teacher to do things the right way all the time. It's a created habit. No cardboard, no replacement crush washer. And he said he was all prepared.... hope his students don't catch on on those habits
