Ah, after the 4,400 round trip to Canada, she's now got 191,626.7 mi. Funny, once I left CA, the performance was markedly improved... she ran smoother, and got 50+ mpg (average speed 75mph tank-to-tank). Gee, could it be all that crap in the CA fuel? ;-)
Mind you, I found out I was taking this one four days before leaving for El Paso.... hadn't been on the road since last October... (no I never 'winterized' the fuel... yes, shame on me)... Did a quick tune up: charged the battery, put in Split-fires, fashioned the K&N air filters, replaced the brake/clutch fluids, poured in some Golden Spectro, replaced the chain, sprockets... good to go. Meanwhile, back at the ranch....... the other GTS is still in the shop.... two fuel injectors were definitely failing... also may be a tight valve... should get an update this weekend -- apparently, I was gone, so there was no rush to get it fixed.... Yamaha always seems to be too inundated w/ boats these days.... what's wrong w/ this picture? Just venting... -Thomas =========================== Thomas H.

I believe 2000 was the last year of production.... Here's the 1999 Yamaha Catalog I picked up while in Switzerland a while back: http://www.keyworth.net/gts/ BTW, I was on the Three Flags Classic Rally (http://www.3flagsclassic.org) over Labor Day Weekend... saw a '93 GTS from Colorado... anyone on the list, perhaps? Out of 322 bikes, only three Yamahas... the third was a Seca... where was everyone? ;-) -Thomas 94 GTS =========================== Thomas H.
