    AND use Honda Moly60 for the splines (three places, both ends of the drive shaft and the splines that connect the pumpkin to the rear wheel) and the drive fingers on the "clutch, hub" (Service manul page 7-13 nuber 7 or in the Parts book page F2 refrence number 9) BTW page 7-91 says to use Moly on the drive shaft splines.

    There are four places you need to use Moly60 when you pull the driveshaft. The splines at the front of the drive shaft. The splines at the rear of the drive shaft. The splines that connect the pumpkin to the clutch hub. The "Fingers" that connect the clutch hub to the rear wheel. IIRC the Universal joint at the front of the drive shaft is quite difficult to get at. I did not lubricate it.

    If you use Honda Moly60 on the splines you probably will NEVER have to buy a replacement drive shaft due to wear AND your bike will be much more quiet!!!!!!!!!!! If you use Lithium soap grease you probably will have to buy a drive shaft and the two parts that it hooks into due to wear. There are a few other greases that are 60% Moly or more, but they will cost you a lot more per Oz than the Honda stuff. Wear disposable gloves and do NOT get it on your paint or chrome!!!!!!!!!! It will attach to it!!!!!! Apply with an old tooth brush, a little goes a LONG way!!!!!!!! BTW do NOT put Moly in your engine. It will ruin your clutch!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also put a little moly60 in my motorcycle's rear gear, with the Gear Lube. about the size of a pea. Honda Moly60 is 3 Oz in a 6 Oz tube, so dont be shocked when you find the tube half full.

    In a nut shell, Molybdenum Disulphide will not move out from between two metal surfaces like gears, well after the oil has been pressed out and it has a very low coefficient of friction. Here is an excerpt from the article at Wikipedia HERE. Click HERE for more info

    There is so little Gear Lube in the rear-end of these bikes, I change it every time I change the engine oil. Cheep insurance. I also put a little molybodynyum disphulide grease in wiht the Gear Lube. Read THIS thread for more info on what I did. I buy the aluminum crush washers by the box to get the price down as you don't want to re-use them, or swap them out for Nylon.......if you want.

    I think that Yamaha will produce a 3rd gen RSV. They seem to invest money even when the market is bad. it makes good business sense, in the long run.... BUT the bike may not come out in 2010 model year.

    I used to trad stocks but I too thought it took to long, so now I am trading commodity futures and options. Just like in the stock market you want to Buy long on the way up, sell on the way down. OR: Sell short on the way down and buy on the way up. There is money to be made in any market that is moving, up or down... I don't think they handle Stocks, yet, but I use OpenECry to execute my trades.

    The only harmful effect of carburetor icing is loss of power, or maybe the parts might become frozen in place setting your throttle at one setting, or just one carburetor at one setting..... Your bike might act like it is running out of gas or no spark...... so you might confuse the symptoms with some other problem.... To correct this, pull over into a safe place, and stop the bike. The heat that comes up off of the engine will thaw out the carburetors in a short period of time. or hook up the heaters, and put the bike in gear with the engine off for a short period of time.

    The only issue you will have is reprogramming the presets into the radio. I have to go back and read the instructions in the Owner's Manual every time.......

    Look at Cycletrader.com you can get a 2009 for less than $17k......

    Have you checked the splines for wear? They don't lubricate them well at the factory and they use IMHO, substandard lube. they should be using a grease that contains at least 60% Molybdenum Disulphide. How is the gear lube in the rearend?

    Side note: Carburetor icing is not as detrimental on an on-road vehicle compared to an aircraft. We can pull over to the side of the road......they cant.

    For a good, quick, down and dirty definition on Carburetor Icing, read the article a Wikipedia HERE Then click on the chart at the end of the article, and UNDERSAND that the chart is in degrees C, NOT F. 30C = 85F 20C = 68F It is quite an eyeopener. I will not be disconnecting my carburetor heaters as the Yamaha engineers did a good thing (But they could have added a dew point sensor)

    I have a Compct Truck Horn and it is phyically larger than the Compatct Natulus Horn. I want to hook up both horns on my bike but have yet to install the Compact Truck Horn. It might fit up under the trunk..... maybe....
