    Before heaving it Jeff, I think I gotta try to see if it'll work. I'm already in this thing more than I care to admit, and blown a big hole in my shopping Ego... Needing another drive isn't the problem, I actually have another RSV and V-Max final sitting on the shelf plus the one on the bike. So my final cup runneth over... If nothing else I'll learn a lot about finals.

    It's gonna be a gamble, but what other option do I have?? Best case it'll be fine, and worse case I'll have a modified V-Max housing I can stuff the other set of V-Max gears in.... and learn all about backlash...

    I become one with the bike... It's a Zen thing.....

    Thanks for you input Squeeze. Since the ring gear is OK, and Lynn didn't mention finding any metal slag in the residual lube, I guess I'll give it a shot. Cody's on the horizon, but I should have enough local rides to test it. I'm wondering if I could get by with using a good synthetic lube instead of the YAMAHA lube?? Or is the Y lube now synthetic??

    Under the air box are the carburtors... Never heard of a fuel pump in that area. Does it have a V-Max engine??? Maybe a previous owner jury rigged something in there?? We need to see what you're looking at....

    OK I sent my V-Max final I just bought to Pegscraper to have the speed sensor hole installed for the RSV. It was reported to be off a '98 with 16000 miles on it. When he took it apart he found the pinion gear that showed galling on the faces. I've dealt with galling before but not in a situation like this. It almost looks like a bad gear casting. Generally the gall is shiney, gouged and flaky looking. Attached are some pics of what he found. These are the worse, but they are all show signs. The ring gear has none and looks good. I'm at a loss as to what to do. Has anyone here... Squeeze?? seen this before, and is the pinion still usable?? Should I take the chance?? I could salvage a pinion out of another final, but will it work without having to deal with backlash etc.?? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    I have a set of something similar mounted on the '91 with the standard type 'squidley' mount, although they are tungston, and have a high/low beam. They work pretty good.

    The intire right side dash will have to be removed to get to the speaker. Disconnect the wire leads by going through the right turn signal opening. Any quality 4" speaker will do. Lots of opinions as to the best ones, but a good brand will work fine.... Water proof would be a plus...

    Gotta go check that... I remember reading something about this a few years ago, but since I didn't own a 2ndGen at the time, it went in one ear and out the other....

    When I replace an ignition switch I always replace the hex heads with cap screws. Way easier to get them up though all that wiring on the end of a hex socket...

    Man that's before the big crash of '06. That guys been gone for five years now... Thanks for the tip Bob. Didn't think of that. I just go to the member list then state and then the letter of the alphabet. And Don.... that just show's you how often I use the Community section....

    With all this talk about amp consumption of the lighting you'all might consider the tape deck. For those that still like to listen to cassettes the tape deck eats amps like a horse eating oats. If you don't have a batt with a bunch of CCa's in reserve, you'll be jump starting your bike after a couple of days. The stator can not keep up.... I doubt even with all LED lighting.....

    Wow!! Just checked the member list to find an old member, and it looks like someone has done some house cleaning?? Not nearly as many members as I remember..... Or am I halucinating again??

    I mentioned that when making reservations, and they almost did take them.... Had to ply them with a 6-pak of Coors.....

    Interesting... The service manual for my California '99RSV just says regular. Not even an octane rating..???

    I bet Freebird can chime in here with some good advice.....

    I don't think I'd take the chance...it's not worth it... Especially when taking a long trip. Turn down tips will force the exhaust under the trailer. Those fins have a tendency to exit right into the face of the trailer, and the vortex will bring them back into the riding bubble behind the windshield. If you find yourself feeling sleepy or disoriented it's time to pull over...

    The bug doesn't read amps like a gas guage reads gallons, but Volts. It probably has a default voltage set or assumes that the battery is at 100% the first time it's hooked up.

    Actually the speed bleeders will solve the trapped air problem Bob. With the Speed's you can pump fluid through the line faster than the air bubble will rise. And... they are available directly from Speed Bleeder, and I've found they are cheaper going direct. Nice folks to deal with.

    Reiny's off the hook. There wasn't a banner at Kitchner. The pic is of a Rally in '08. Now I'm wondering if there was one at the Hub.... or Potato Creek?? Maybe the banner doesn't exist??? I remember signing one at Venture West III in Susanville, but I think that one went to Don....
