    Muay, I have a 1997 and the rear seat didn't move at all. I also have the rear backrest and the sissy bar, but that has nothing to do with the seat. However, I recommend you to have them since make their safety much higher. calperin

    I believe so. 8:00 AM for breakfast? May be we can ride together from Southfield or West Bloomfield.
  4. calperin
    Yes, and I live in Southfield which is pretty close to you. send me more details and I'll try to pick your parts. However, Pinwall is much south of Akron... Should said somebody come to MD from south passing close to Akron, Oh??? calperin

    It sounds that your stand quick has a defective switch, and if the OD is on it means that you're not in Neutral. You're in 5th gear, according with the user manual. Do you have the Neutral light on?

    Did somebody has the tool to measure the pressure on the cap? Is the only other thing that can be. Cap not holding the pressure on the coolant circuit. Thanks

    bkhur, I just did that. I found the hose going to the radiator almost empty, also the bottle was under the low level even when last week I filled above the high level. Now, I take of the bottle and cleaned, also the thermostat housing and check the thermostat and it works. However after ensemble everything I left something loose (I believe on the thermostat housing) since I can see the green coolant flushing from the hose coming from the radiator due to the pressure when the engine got temperature. Still with that, I never see the light goes on or the fan start to work. But due the the leak I started to get such vapor on the winshield that I decide to stop the engine, and tomorrow I'll recheck all the bolts and hoses. I filled both the bottle at the high level and the circuit from the cap to the radiator up to the cap level. I don't think that level is overflow and that create too much pressure. Thanks for your tip. calperin :sick:

    Ok, I know I put this here before and no answers. But situation now is different. I did everything except change the coolant liquid. The fact is on neutral, if I left the engine running for more than 20 minutes I never get the temperature light going ON. If I start to ride the bike on street for a couple of miles, sometimes I can see the temperature light starting really low (almost imposible to notice that during the day), and then disappears. If I keep running, it goes ON again a little strong but if I stop the bike, I can feel the fan on and after a couple of seconds the light goes OFF. I was able to see the fan working, and also I already check the level of Coolant. Also, finished to take off the thermostat, and test it on a vessel with water and it opens at 80ºC (177 ºF) and it close with no problem. Tried this at least 10 times, and it allways worked. I have the bike stop during the hole winter, and due to this I didn't ride it but I'm trying to have it ready for next weekend MD. Do you somebody think that I need to change the coolant? Should I mix the coolant 50/50 with water? I refill it with full coolant liquid. May be a 1/4 of the bottle, and it is a 1/2" over the Full Line. I 'll thank any help in order to have this ready during this weekend for test it before my 3 hour trip on Friday. BTW, bike is a 1997 Royal Star Classic, with 11000 miles on it. Thanks in advance for any help. calperin I don't want to do this next Friday!!!

    It never fails. 99.99% of the cases, allways happens problem show up when warranty expires. I remember to pay extended warranty for 4 years on a Toshiba 60" TV proyection back on 2004. Of course in 2009 got a power supply issue were the replacement cost 60% of my new 55" LCD. QC is improving their calculations. :080402gudl_prv:

    Sorry to hear about that. I get minimum 34 and on full highway ride up to 41 mpg. But never 44 as everybody else told me they use to get. About power, I have more than what I need. No complains. The day I'll need more, I think I'll switch to a Valkiry from Honda. :cool10:

    Now I found the guys riding with me, was lying about their mpg!!!

    One thing to check is the starter. If the starter is draining too much (bad rotor, or shortcircuit on the stator) can kill your battery. Only way to know that is to charge the battery, and measure the consumption on the start process. Best way is to use a clamp amperimeter around one of the starter cable. if the battery doesn't take charge, you use a jump cable to your car battery. Regards,

    I don't know about the rear, but the carbs allways were an issue. I almost tune and clean it every year, and never got more than 38 mpg, when with the bigger ones the VR get at least 44 mpg. That is huge difference.
  14. calperin
    Peg, Any idea about how much the cost of carbs change? calperin :stirthepot:

    Do somebody knows if there is a direct replacement of the thermostat of a 1997 RS with a NAPA one? I already order one original, but probably will not be here before the MD, and I don't want to miss that weekend. Thanks

    Hey, does not count that two of the wheels are not even half of the other two??? Almost three wheels.... :rotf::rotf: Then, what about the additional 2 wheels you put on a bicycle to let the kids learn to ride and get balance? :no-no-no::no-no-no::no-no-no:

    Well, if we follow statistics, the best is to sleep on a couch. Most of the deaths happen in a bed!!!! :rotf::rotf::rotf:
