don't believe a 99 RSV will still have a warranty. I am curious why you only use mid grade gas now after the fuel pump died. I have 135k miles and always use regular on my 02. I didn't know if the Lower grade gas caused the problem, or the 10% mix in the gas. But its happening to alot of 2007's. when I spoke to a Yamaha rep. he said they are aware of the issue Oh buy the way. I have a yamaha rep, in my neighborhood now. he just moved in, two weeks ago, and were already talking -

I used to live up in the great white north ( Nord ). Moved to Florida 16 years ago, and decided, that while laying next to a pool drinking an Ice cold beer, One November afternoon that I was never going back. Had a good job, but it couldn't keep me there. Got here on a Thursday, and started a new job on Monday, and never looked back:parrots: -
Yep fuel pump. Happened twice to me, I was using regular gas. at about 14,000 miles I now have 46, 000 and I ONLY use Middle grade gas. its warranty, so go have it fixed

when I travel, I always, plan in advance. I do my bench reading. places on interests. bike shops If I get into trouble. Ill load the bike and trailer, after checking all the tires, and bike out. But what I hate most. is when the wife over thinks, just as were starting down the road, did I pack, this, did I pack that, can we go back.... Thats the worth question, you can as me, CAN WE GO BACK...I Think I forgot something. I just want to say, get the hell off the bike and walk home. I'm leaving without you...... It just blows my whole trip. and my sate of mind. IF YOU FORGOT IT TUFF DO DO'S!!!!!!!

Capt D and I were asked to leave a store, on the way up to Our Meet & Eat, last Saturday. we had stopped in for a cup of coffee, and to drain the main vain. The young lady said she had to throw us out. we were polite about it. and left Now, I gotta admit, we looked the part of the Bad ass Bikers. I think it was the part about us talking openly about carrying fire arms, over that cup of coffee. that did the trick.

Vaseline cures anything and everything My wife and I scuba dive in the springs of North Florida. we were told by Cvae divers, its the way to insulate your body from the cold water, and when you return to the surface. ask, any maraton runner, during the NY & Boston Maratons. runners will rub it into there bodys to keep warm. we used the some idea when riding in cold weather. just a dab, over you fingers, and face, and neck, and you WILL NOT feel the cold. your insulated cheaper then buy chaps when 34 degrees hit south florida and the water tempeture drops to the low 60's, vacationers, come to dive the warmer water of florida. we grease up, at the car, and put our skins on. Toasty. But when we return to the surfase. all the other people are FREEZING there Butts off. were sitting there in our wet skins, in a comfy 80 degress ( Body heat) like a warm towel around your body:scubadive: Not so wierd after all. well spent

Whats the Closest Encounter, you ever had with wild life. tell your story... Back in 1986 I was riding with a club from Plattsburgh NY, called the Royal Knights. we were touring through the mountains, and came to a stop under some nice cover casting trees. to relax. from the back of the group, you can here, OH SH**!!! a few screams, OH Hell's !!!, and shot it, ring out. I'm standing their eating a half a sandwich, when I finally see it. and I slowly walk to the otherside of the bike. Of course it stops, and puts its paw on my seat. (3 or 4 year old Male Brown Bear) while sniffing my sandwich.. ( I'm thinking no Friggin way I'm giving up my lunch.. so I keep eating. one of the ladies, walks up behind me a sprays it in the face with mace. The bear takes off running, everyone still, running around there bikes, as it darts our across the main road, and into a large field.. so Linda asks, you wheren't giving up your sandwich were you? Noop.

I've hit 107 once, and rode once at 90, for a hundred miles. buy I don't think this bike was made to do this. so she rides at 65 now, and were both happy:biker:
