I've been running 404's and getting 9 - 10 K out of them (rear tire). I keep a close eye on tire pressure and started running nitrogen in the last set. Keeping your pressure up will increase tire life and handling. I use the " penny" test to check the tire tread, If I can see the whole head I'm gettin new tires:cool10:

Time for new tires. I need some advice.
RSTDRIDER replied to Midnight's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I've been running Dunlops. I don't get outstanding milage out of them but they perform well. I just put a set on last week and decided to try nitrogen. Supposed to improve the life of the tire and the pressure will stay the same no matter what the temp. is. Also holds pressure longer without having to 'top off' with air. Time will tell:smile5: -
I'm going to hafta consider one, I just hope it has the same whine!

I think I likes it! Wont be in the market till '10 so we'll see what star does now that they may have some direct competiton:thumbsup2:

Baron's and a whole lot of popping on decel
RSTDRIDER replied to george_park's topic in General Tech Talk
I have them on my 07 and have the same thing. even synchronized the carbs and plugged the ais. The head wrench at the stealership checked the system for air leaks and all was good. He also said he didn't think it would cause any problems as it's not backfireing. I've had them on for a year and put about 20k on them with no adverse affects. And, yea they do sound good! -
Nice bike! I've been lookin at the 800 or 1200 adventure bikes. Hope you enjoy it!

I have 28k on my 07 and just a slight whine but not all the time. Sometimes it sounds more like a turbo going thru the gears. Other than the lack of greese in the rear wheel (grinding noise) at 1500 mi. there have been no problems. I make sure they greese the splines when I replace the rear tire (about every 8-9 k). So far I've been happy with my rstd.

My Favorite is Taylor. Once I played one it was hard to put down...so hard in fact I took it home. Can't beat the action or sound and they just get better with age. Try one before you get anyting.

Accessory plug on Tour Deluxe
RSTDRIDER replied to chachi's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
I cut mine off also, put a power station (fused) so I could plug in radar detector, GPS or whatever. Kinda nice, turn the key off and whatever you have plugged in turns off and you don't come back to a dead battery. -
Driving lights
RSTDRIDER replied to jjulson's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
They install fairly easy if you not color blind. I read the instrustions and thought this will be easy untill I got into the wiring and couldn't tell for sure what wire was what color. My son came home from work and pointed the right ones and it took about 40 min. Not hard to install at all.- 9 replies

Driving lights
RSTDRIDER replied to jjulson's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
I run with driving lights all the time. I have noticed less cages pulling out in front of me in daylight. I work nights and ride at night quite a bit. They do help at night. Takes a little trial and error to get them aimed just right but when you do it really helps. I wired mine to be on all the time, not just when the high beams are on.- 9 replies
