    Did you check the trunk and saddle bags?? On the antifreeze. I noticed lately that in their ads Prestone states their coolant is compatable with ALL engines. So the next time around I'll use it instead of the high priced stuff. By a bottle of water wetter and add a couple of cap fulls to the mix before buttoning her up.

    If the diaphragms don't have any holes in them and are just creased, try boiling them in water for 15 mins or so. They should flatten out again. One of the big problems when installing the diaphragms is they don't stay in the groove when the cover is placed back on. One of the members... sorry can't remember who... of VR suggested to block the slide with a screwdriver so it doesn't get pushed in when placing the cover back on.... it works... The rubber lip will stay in the goove. Best suggestion since sliced bread...

    This is happening way too much lately. It's early in the AM when I get online, and I have the local news station playing in the background. It seems like every morning... or afternoon for that matter... during the traffic accident reports they are including a motorcyclist down. Last weekend while riding to and from the Hog Roast all of those electronic traffic signs on the freeway had "share the road- watch for motorcycles'' messages posted on them. It did seem like drivers gave me more space. Wish they'd do it more often. At least the state is trying to do something to build MC awareness.... 'cause we ain't going away...

    Haven't gotten that far on the '99 yet Fred, but the idle adjustment should be the same as the 1stGens... The handy dandy little adjustment tool of yours should fit right in there.... Take 'm out 2.5 turns from bottom and you should be good to go. OK Pegscraper knows, and now I do too....

    Me too... Just wants to work itself back in...very quickly. Mine has the chrome cover... don't know if that has anything to do with it...??

    I'll check just the same, but I suspect they replaced them, or used the old ones, when the dealer replaced the trunk bottom.....

    Might as well put it out for everyone to see. Let's face it...you're preaching to the choir, and everyone already has a robe.... I posted my '83 here and on CL. Never received any interest here, but had 3 CL email requests for more pics the first day, and sold it in 3.

    I like the passenger backrest pad being mounted for the rider. Us'n taller folk need a little higher support.

    I don't have the time to sit and watch an auction unfold for something I need. Been using a snipper tool for a long time. http://www.auctionstealer.com/home.cfm They give you 3 free snipes a week, and that's about all I ever need. I usually go weeks without snipping at all. On a lot of stuff if the starting price is all it's worth, and I really don't need it... not now anyway..., I just go ahead and bid the starting thru Ebay. If someone want's it for more, so be it.

    How much ya wanna bet that job is probably being done by an illegal from south of the boarder. What I don't understand is why Homeland Security is tighter than a frog's a$$ with Canada, and like a sieve with Mexico... They should just rename the southern boarder the 'Santa Ana Freeway'.... Oooop's that might not be politically correct...

    What's a fair eyebrow????????????

    I didn't check but I will.... If they're not availble thru Yamaha, try West Marine. They carry 1/4" flat rubber washers that should fit beneath the trunk ... A lot cheaper than $20 PT Barnum bucks....

    7psi... or less... is pro'bly what the psi ended up at by the time the coupler was unscrewed from the shraeder valve stem. Truth be know it could be anything. The needle bounced from 0psi to 10psi on every stroke. Stop pumping and it sat on zero. Although I really wonder about the 7# max limit?? The 1stGen's will go to 17psi. Same on the rear. 2nd=57psi max, 1st=71psi max. And those 1st's are on the center stand. Pro'bly raises up even higher when set back on the side stand and gets warm. Regardless of what the psi's are, like I said... the pump sucks.... Condor.... who don't need no pigmies.....

    Needed an air shock pump for the '99, and found one on Ebay #360254648832 for about half the price Harley was asking.... for what looked like the same they have except this one was silver... Finally got it, and it's terrible. It was rated 0-60psi, but had to pump like he!! the get the front forks up to 10# and I gave up trying to get the rear shock past 35#. I wouldn't recommend this pump to anyone. I'm going to go visit a bicycle shop to see what they have.... You know what they say...Experience is costly. Hope this keeps another member from making the same mistake....

    I know this thread was started last year, but ran across it a couple of weeks ago. Even though the PO had the trunk bottom replaced under warantee, on the new2me '99RSV, I checked just make sure they had put in the plates etc. A quick peek revealed that they hadn't, so I ordered the parts on the above list while having the tires R&R'd last week. Went out yesterday to install the plates and after closer inspection I found hair line cracks around the screws and washers!! Chem welded the cracks and installed the parts. This board saved my a$$ again.

    I don't believe that they ever made a pillow top in tan for the MM.
