    You might check with Mike Eykamp, he has several NOS parts for Royal Stars he bought from shops going under and parts out some bikes. Pinwall was a good source but they sold out last year, not sure to who or what they’re going with it.

    Thanks Carl, that’s what I think he’s looking for. The dealer is a mega store and deals with mostly atv’s and utv’s from several brands. I checked them out when I was looking for a utv and wasn’t impressed with their people. I went elsewhere because of that. He’s wishing he did too.

    He bought it new. Problems from day one.

    Neighbor bought a 2023 Spyder new last year. The dealer has had it more time than he has. It has a bad front end vibration they can’t get out of it (I don’t have much faith in that dealer). Any recommendations here?

    Trying to remember the science but certain tires years ago on cars couldn’t be reversed or belts would break. Bias ply maybe??? Once you started them one direction you only rotated front and back on same side. Any body with input on that or is my rememberer malfunctioning again?

    Many use a rear tire mounted backwards on the front for that reason. Rears are a different compound so they last longer on the front. I can’t say from experience but I can’t see a front tire mounted backwards would last any longer than correct rotation.

    Have we ever been there before???

    It’s a few days of the best riding you could ask for, not to mention the time setting around the fire hearing and telling stories. Some of them even true!!! I’ve made the last 4 years and it’s a ton of fun with some good people. I recommend the trip if you can.

    If we get to go we’ll stay there too. Right now 100 miles is about my limit, we’ll see in a few months.

    While you have it apart you can plug a 3.5mm Y splitter at the cassette and plug in a Bluetooth receiver to stream music from your phone.

    Look at the framework around the cassette player. If I remember correctly I took out the headlight assembly to get to the bolts but the fairing is attached to that framework. I used a rope from the shop ceiling to tie the fairing assembly up and out of the way.
  12. RDawson
    Do you mean moving the inner fairing?

    I hope it’s that simple and an easy fix. We’ve all done similar, except me of course. 🙄🙄🙄 Let us know if it works, if so it’s more info to keep filed away in or heads, if not somebody here will find the answer.

    Dennis Kirk usually has a good selection. I order my fronts there but use a car tire on the rear.

    The “audio” button is also the power button for the system. If it’s been turned off or battery unhooked hit it to turn on. Not trying to be funny but sometimes the obvious escapes us, wait til the kill switch on the bars gets you like it has the rest of us.

    1999-2013 all are interchangeable.

    I’m not familiar with that model but I have a Work Sharp MK2 that I keep the knives razor sharp. Good products. I also have a Yamaha Venture MK2 so maybe I’m addicted to 2nd editions.

    Look in the tech section for articles about the shift segment pins. Clutch discs shouldn’t cause this.

    Still got my 86 (39 y/o) setting in the shop. Keep thinking I’ll get it out and clean the carbs but can’t seem to find the time. Parked it when I bought my 07.

    I talked to Dave last summer at the Asheville rally, he’s shipped his repaired shocks all over the globe. I have the instructions bookmarked but they’re on here somewhere, not sure where. He did a demonstration at one of Freebird’s MD weekends several years ago, great guy to deal with also if you want him to fix it.

    I’ve been on a couple of local rides so far, the longest being around 150 miles. I may ride into town today to run some errands.

    I have a Taurus .357 snub nose for when I carry on my ankle and a Glock 43X for under my shirt. Luckily I live in a low crime area so I don’t feel the need to carry as much as I probably should. But that Kimber is a good looking option, I like Don prefer a hammer.

    That’s the problem it’s says “red” on the box so you can only use it on the rears.

    Here’s the blinker fluid I use.
