Got some good advice for Yamaha Vision owners on keeping there
generators in tact.

Don't use the recommended 10W30 oil ever. Keep a constant 40 in at all times.

Don't put an aux. driving light on your machine.

It was a combination of these two things that lead to a burnt out
generator. Went to the dealer and he says it happens to Visions --
they get too hot with thin oil, and if you are running more that *100W*
of accessories *in total* you will crisp the coils.

He also says that some Yamaha Venturers have the same problem.
After all, they are just a double vision!
