    Don't mind at all... Just over 50,000 on the odo. And yeah the fuel system was the worst I'd ever dealt with. And I have no one else to blame. I had plans to work under the tank so parked it with very little fuel in it. Then health went all to hell in a hand basket, and it was two years before I was able even look at her again. The entire system was a mess. Even broke the throttle cable trying to get the carbs to move. Other than the problems she's a beautiful bike with lots of bling and upgrades.

    Are you turning off your audio system when parked?? I found that the system caused the battery on my '99 to drain down after sitting for a few days. Turned it off and the problem went away....

    Sounds like you have a loose wire on your sensor....

    Never really gave it much thought. Everything that was screwed up has been replaced with new...'cept the '08 used carbs... Even the tank.. So the only thing left that needs to be done is mount the plenums, and tank... gas'r up and go... Maybe once I get her back together I will think about it??....

    I had the same problem with the '99 after sitting for two years due to health problems. The only way I could stop the leak was putting it on reserve. Any other position and it leaked like a sieve out the side of the petcock. I might also add that the carbs were toast too. Gummed.. corroded??.... up so bad that the butterfly's wouldn't move, and nothing I did would un-stick them. Finally had to pick up another set. Since picking up two more RSV's I haven't been real diligent on getting her back together, so she sits.... with nary a drop of fuel in her. Don't want to go thru that again.... :-) Maybe later on this spring??

    The RSTD's have a 5 gallon tank, and I also think they have one in Black Cherry, only a different year... if I remember correctly. Tried checking the history section, but I didn't see a black cherry listed in TD colors???

    Y'all won't be disappointed. I've had one on the '91VR for years. They are cool.....

    I've had one of the senior life time's since '08, but have only used it going thru and around Yellowstone in '09 and '11. Cost$10 bucks, but don't loose it or they'll get you for another $10....

    I think it all depends on how bad the seller need to get it gone, and what somebodies willing to pony up. I just bought my '04RSMV in mint condition, raised on synthetics, with 65K on the odo for $3000US. What really hurts is after Lone Eagle traded his '05RSTD with all those beautiful graphics in on the Harley the dealer pushed it out the back door for $1900.

    My Grandson is dealing with the same problem. Blown head gasket on my old Suburban that I gave him. 5.7 Vortec with 200K on the odo, and aluminum heads. I haven't wrenched on a 350 Chevy in years and this new headbolt, torque to yield, is new to me. On a bigger engine is this going to be a problem?? He's trying to do it on the cheap. I think we do have him talked into having them surfaced...

    It's a terrible disease that penicillin can't cure. Harbor Freight should be purged from the face of the earth. I still have tools where the price was so good I couldn't pass them up...and they're still sitting in their unopened boxes. I also get bit by old tools... You know, the ones where someone else with the same affliction bought, and never used, and now are in their estate auctions. Boxes of tools that are sitting in dark corners of the garage and forgotten about. Get rid of them??? NEVER!! You never know when you'll need one... if you can find it... and if you can't... it makes perfect sense to go buy a new one...

    Maybe a hairline crack in the on/off cap??? Or a damaged 'new' 'o-ring'???
  18. Condor
    It would be interesting to see what auction company is going to handle it, and follow along...

    Could this be Cowpuc's new traveling buddy??

    If you're talking about the lowers, I've seen pics from a couple of members who have removed them. Doesn't seem to create any problems with airflow, and looks nice. You'll need to McGuiver a few things, but with a little creativity it can be done...

    Doesn't sound normal.... There may be an internal battery that's there to maintain memory and it's dead??? BTW this thread is really old..... Might get more results starting a new thread....

    Why am I having trouble copying and pasting an internet picture to my post?? Instead of a pic I get the web address.... I don't think it's me as I can paste a pic on other boards using this new format without a problem.... http://www.cast-aways.com/CODYPICS/yellowstone_national_park_bison_geyser_lg.jpg

    On 1stGen carbs that are stubborn I usually pry with the wooden handle of a ball peen hammer to get them started. WD40 also helps loosen them up.
