That sure is a beautiful color combination.

About 5 minutes to go, good luck!

I have my 1999 RSV with 37,*** miles on it pretty well disassembled for maintenance. I was planning on checking the valve clearances so I called Breyley Yamaha in N. Royalton , OH (they are supposedly well respected) to see if they have a shim exchange program to which the service manager responded that they do, he inquired if my valve cover gaskets are leaking and I responded "no why" he then asked why I was checking lash and I told him that I do not know the maintenance history of the bike and thought it may be a good idea since I was this close. The gentleman wanted to know if the bike was running well or and I said yes but it may need the carbs synced. I will be pulling the carbs out to replace the intake boots anyways and that brings up the thought should I pull the bowl off to measure the floats or should I use the sight gauge method as it seems to me it is the actual tell all of float level? He then said they do not check lash on the bikes unless there is a reason to pull the valve covers off and when they do they rarely find the valves out of spec even on bikes with over 50K miles on them. What is your take on the service managers opinion of not checking the valve lash? I am so close but yet if it isn't broke why brake it? I would be replacing the valve cover gaskets if I pull the covers. http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q654/Pauljewl/20150322_111745_zps5o7v541g.jpg

Happy Easter guys and gals.

That red sure is Purdy!

Looks like you still have time! Its a left hand model anyway look at the radio controller and throttle. (picture is backwards:doh:)

What if those mirrors were off of a V6 (VW or KIA or etc.)?

Annie, we are sending prayers your way! Going through some of that "C" stuff myself. It was a shock but not nearly as dire as Beryl's. Stay strong and positive thoughts. Sincerely! Paul

I was born last Sunday (50 years ago!)

All it needs is a removable matching tour pack and me and my sweetheart riding it.

Boy, I would love to get one of those cross country tours for a 12 grand discount.

It is April fools day you all know, Right?

Better hurry and get the bike reassembled so we can do that! Nice pics!

Looks awesome! When do they go on sale?

Just ordered 4 from partzilla for my 99 rsv, they are under 5 bucks each.

Cool, that make us all legit bad a$$es!

That is Tappan lake in Harrison county off of SR 250 I t is a beautiful lake and there are a lot of good motoring roads around. We have a chalet (read "fixer upper") just up the road from there . We should do a weekend there when the weather gets nice!

So sorry, Prayers are heading your way.

We have enjoyed ours since 1990, it spent a couple years in dry dock here and there but we've had many good times on it.

Now that was some funny sh*t.

Yay!

I have a similar one. Nice!

I did the exact same thing 2 years ago and it's still working fine, mine is a Magnavox what is yours? The only down side from the repair is I was eyeing up a 65 incher.

Nice, did you trade the crossfire in? I like the Murano better than the Juke.

Or if your feeling spunky there is this version.
