Check and top up blinker fluid as needed.

I got a small bottle of blink juice on my work bench. It works well on all my bikes except the Brit stuff. Hummmmm

Welcome, Cooper.
Do keep asking questions.

I recall that Jimmy Martin came from your town of Sneedville, regarded to be "The King of Bluegrass",
singing lead in Bill Monroe's "Bluegrass Boys" in the 50's.

Yes he is from here I know becouse there is a sign on main street just down the road from my shop about him
 
Best source for BS38 floats is 3M at 650Central (original Mikuni, best price). Best source for float needle and seat assemblies is right from Yamaha. Aftermarket ones are hit and miss, many times leaking right out of the box.
