Well I believe two of the four carburetors are clogged from sitting for three years after a divorce. Typically, what is the cost to have them torn apart and cleaned up? I live in the St. Louis Missouri area does anybody have any suggestions on where to take it? Thanks so much, David

, Hey everyone, the 2013 RSV has sat for three years as a result of an illness . Two of the four carbs are operating, the other two must be gummed up. It starts,however, she’s not running rough. There is a quarter tank with minimal amount of Seafoom added from before I got ill. Should I just take it to the dealer, or do you have any suggestionsThanks so much, David

I don't understand your point, relative to my post. Ok, he makes them at home, as many people that sell an add-on do for RSV's on this site.

I bet they are done. The market seems to be saturated with touring bikes, and the GW eats allot of the sales. It would have to be one hell of a transition to compete, and very expensive to redesign. Hell, our 13's still have a cassette deck, helloooooo.

With my prior bikes I enjoed the blue-tooth technology in regards to answering my phone. I now own a 2013 RSV and went with the EDSets intercom set-up and am very pleased. However, I wanted blue-tooth and Ed has developed BlueStreak, which undoubtedly is top of the line. I placed my order for a cost of $250 plus s/h. Then received an email that I also needed an $80 mic splitter. So I decided for $330 plus, I can pull over and answer my phone. In-fact I used to have the Sena's and I wonder if there is a way to integrate. I'm not bashing EdSets at all, just to expensive for this set-up.

? Thank you,David

Thanks guys, I think I'll go with the proper torque instead of breaking out the ten foot cheater bar!!!

What do I torque the drain plug down to on the oil pan thanks guys I don't have my book

What is the size of the O-ring for washer for the drain plug on the 2013 RSV thank you

Thanks guys!!

I agree Don. honestly it is my fault. I just can't figure out what part # it is or looking at the diagram which part is the correct reference.

One end nut plate on the bracket is stripped and two of the other holes where the bolt would tighten the shield in just seem that I am twisting rubber and does not snug up. The two large center bolts I was referring to are the ones that hold the bracket to the bike.

I have removed the windshield several times and have either stripped our knocked the mounting nuts that would be attached on the back of the mounting bracket located at the top of the picture. I guess I need to replace this, if anyone knows the part number or any suggestions I would appreciate it. Thanks guys, David

I do have the larger E3 on the front and have the same attributes as he described. I don't think it is the narrow tire, it is just a great fit for my bike.

If you are referring to my last post. I did go with the oem or suggested tire size by Yamaha. Regardless, it made a huge difference in ride, ease of turning and traction. As I said, I spoke with a Mich. engineer, and he stated these were made for heavy long distance touring bikes and tread design was engineered for optimum traction in hot, wet and normal conditions. Their weight capacity and speed rating make them a good fit for my bike.
