I did the same thing today---Cleaned the air filters (K&N) and sync'd the carbs. I also did a good cleaning of the bike (good way to inspect everything). I use the Morgan Pro Carbtune. What I do is set the RPM's up till the manometer rods settle down (stop fluctuating) and then I do the adjustments. I don't have a tachometer so I don't know the exact RPM's Tonto go to this thread and it will explain the Carb sync pocedures http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?p=72205

So unless the scheduled aircraft don't come in, I won't be able to attend the Mini maint.get together!! I'm hoping they cancel, so I can be there... The bad thing is I won't know till the night before!

Chip, sorry to hear about the bike. I was thinking doing the mod to stiffen the crash bars Check out the link below. Maybe we could possibly have a mini maint day set up, we could help each other work on the bikes. http://www.venturers.org/Tech_Library/index.php?action=article&cat_id=002004&id=373

Finally replaced front tire!
Sling replied to Ferrantelli's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I've only got about 2000 miles on my Elite 3 tires, and I think they are great. I had a problem with my Bridgestones at 6000 miles. So I put a Dunlop 404 on the rear. At 12,000 miles I decided I wanted to replace the front with a Dunlop. I chose to replace both front and rear with the Elite 3's I really like the way they ride! -

Great looking trailer..Hope you enjoy it.. Now when and where is the first trip?
-
It was 23 degrees this morning when I left for work. I used to ride a Honda VTX and I would freeze at this temp.. The RSV with the fairings and such I was pretty comfortable. Ride home will be better (The ride home from work is always better) Why is that? LOL

Just tell the wife it is a family tradition.. "When you marry off a son you have a drink and a cigar!!"

You're Welcome:thumbsup2:

Glad to hear both you and the wife were not hurt too bad. The proper gear is important and it does help.

I got out the old sewing machine, and a piece Naughehyde(sp) cut it out and sewed it up. If you know how to sew it's easy (only took me three tries)

First I'll say not enough!! I bought my 2008 RSV in Nov '07 A thankgiving gift to me. Since then I've put on 12,350 miles and enjoying the heck out of it!!

I mostly lurk on this sight. Yes I read the posts about so many new people on line but not posting Well Here I am..I've been here for almost a year, and have made a few posts Anyway lets talk tires... Last June Peggy and I took two weeks and did the Blueridge and the Skyline drive from start to finish and back again. At that time I had a little over 6000 miles on the Bridgestones and the rear developed a problem. We were stuck on N.C. got a new Dunlop 404 that's all the dealer had at the time. So i bought it. Now I had 12000 miles on it the front tire, still the Bridgestone (started to cup and make a lot of noise) I decided new tires front and rear. I read the forums and decided to get the Dunlop Elite 3 front and rear. The local dealer wanted $550. for the tires, mount, balance and install!! I ordered them from Two Brothers Tires in Lawrenceville, Ga. they shipped them to the house Both tires and shipping $234.00 (Dealer here in Evans,Ga. wanted $225.00 for the rear tire alone) Anyway i took the wheels off the bike took to a local guy here and he mounted and balanced them $40.00 I re-installed them last night , and today I put about 100 miles on them. What a difference in the ride, so much smoother and quieter. I know i've only put on 100 miles but "I LIKE EM" So far!!!
