Marcarl Posted July 1, 2021 Share #1176 Posted July 1, 2021 23 hours ago, sleepy2 said: Just got a call from shop saying my head bearings need to be replaced(they self center) $55 for bearings and around 4hrs labor $99per hr. then called back to agree on replacing bearings and was informed that when removing muffler the pipe fell apart so need a new one. Cost is $1000 + tax and labor and is on BACKORDER. Calling around to see if can find used but no luck so far..Does anyone know if 08 would be the same as 2012 ( I think is the same but recycle shop needs to know) Parts fiche shows the same number, but then it also shows the same number for either side,,, doesn't make sense to me, thought the left side would be opposite the right side. Shows $589 USD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepy2 Posted July 3, 2021 Share #1177 Posted July 3, 2021 @MarcarlNot sure which web site you checked but the 3 that I looked at had the part # 4XY-14730-10-00 right(my side) and 4XY-14730-00-00for left side. Price was from $700U.S. to $850U.S. Bike update: Starting to piss me off(excuse my french) because I asked them to go ahead with replacing rear tire and I figured they would call me to pick up Wednesday BUT NO they didn't contact me at all OR tell me they would be closed until Monday. Thought they might at-least tell me this so I could find exhaust to finish bike for now. Website said they were open Friday and Saturday but not when I phoned! So now have to wait till Monday. Not sure now whether to get both sides of exhaust from Recycle in Florida($400U.S.) and wait for shipping or the guy in Brantford ($500Can.) But still waiting for shop to get back to me about their searches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

videoarizona Posted July 5, 2021 Share #1179 Posted July 5, 2021 Brought the RSV home from Phoenix. Yes, I put it on a trailer! Shame on me...right? Nah...when it's 110 degrees, I'm not riding without air conditioning. And no, 130 degree air blasting back at me at 75mph is not AC! Now that she's in the garage, which is insulated, I can work on her at my leisure. Right now, though, trying to make room for youngest kidlet and boyfriend...coming back into town to get her Master's. Bringing cat and boyfriend. Will stay here until they find a place in Tucson. So won't get much done while I visit with them. But nice to have RSV home! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepy2 Posted July 5, 2021 Share #1180 Posted July 5, 2021 Just picked up right side exhaust from guy in Brantford Ontario for $500can. Waiting for shop to call back so I can drop it off.

Guest divey Posted July 24, 2021 Share #1188 Posted July 24, 2021 Found some OEM exhaust pipes that were in excellent condition and installed them. The pipes that were on there were a tad noisy for my liking and now she sounds like a Venture should. Also did a carb tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncledj Posted August 4, 2021 Share #1189 Posted August 4, 2021 Changed spark plugs, put new air filters in, changed the oil and repaired the two little bottom tabs that hold the bottom of the fairing halves in place. All that's left is a good cleanup to make her shine and I"m ready for the annual ride up to the cabin with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpate4home Posted August 6, 2021 Share #1190 Posted August 6, 2021 Got to ride to work the last couple of days. The ride home was in the rain both days. Now it needs a bath more than ever. Too much other stuff to do it now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDawson Posted August 6, 2021 Share #1192 Posted August 6, 2021 New bike. At least it feels like it. I replaced the front rotors (warped one last time I installed a tire when it shot out of the bead breaker), new whoa pads on both ends, flushed the iced tea out of both brake systems, and the hot chocolate out of the clutch hydraulics. Ashamed I let the fluids go this long. Changed the oil and monkeyed with tire pressure a little, and installed the radiator guard that came from Ky Bigmac’s wife. Now I just need to clean it up before I head out to Vogel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefGunner Posted August 7, 2021 Share #1193 Posted August 7, 2021 Well, finishing up putting in a dual camera system with night IR capabilities and wi-if for live streaming rides. The button for still shots was not waterproof so I put it in the right cubbie. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N3FOL Posted August 9, 2021 Share #1195 Posted August 9, 2021 Gave my '07 RSV an oil change and also changed the gear oil then went for a ride with no destination whatsoever. Along the way, picked up a dozen sweet corn from a farmer and couldn't wait to get home to eat it. Ride Safe All. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncledj Posted August 11, 2021 Share #1196 Posted August 11, 2021 Wasn't on either of my Ventures, but I DID coat the inside of the fuel tank on my 85 Honda CB700sc (Nighthawk S) with POR tank sealer, so I can finally get it back on the road...just in time to go for a quick ride or two before putting it away again. Non ethanol fuel and Seafoam.....I'll run the carbs dry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfrider Posted August 12, 2021 Share #1198 Posted August 12, 2021 Picked this out of her front paw! No air loss, but I believe there's a weak spot so on with the new tires. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videoarizona Posted August 20, 2021 Share #1199 Posted August 20, 2021 Rain finally let up here in Southern Arizona so have been riding the past few days!

uncledj Posted September 5, 2021 Share #1200 Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) Got Black Cherry cleaned up after the recent trip to camp. Road down to cabin is REALLY bad, meaning that I had to do some mud running to get to / from cabin. Washed, waxed, half a can of Sea Foam in the tank, and ran most of the gas out of the carbs, covered, then put into climate controlled storage. (Pump shed has heat and a dehumidifier running) Gonna try to get out a couple of times again this year, but life sometimes gets in the way, so I figured I'd better have her prepared for a long rest.
