Broke a bolt today!!!
1BigDog replied to hairman's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I replaced mine with the Barnett set-up 5 years ago abd also snapped a bolt. Back then they didnt come with new bolts and I failed to heed others warning about using new bolts. I replaced the factory bolts with allen head bolts. -

Sometimes a heavy duty flasher will slow them down to an acceptable level. Its a trial and error thing though. -

You have the Barons risers and someone modified them and added that bar on the sides. -
My neighbor works as a tech for Acura and he picked up a tube of Moly 60 for me for free.....:dancefool:

OK, so where can I sign up to be a Martian??????

Sheesh, shipping was over 10.00 bucks! Never even thought about a local car dealer. Mine has 10 tubes in stock for 10.00 each. Thanks guys for the input.

Stopped by Honda of Jax today to buy a tube of moly 60 paste. They had only one left and it was resealed sloppily with tape, the cap covering the tube was askew and there was grease marks on the tube. I asked if they had any more in the back as I know this is a standard ploy to only display something they want to get rid of before they put out the good stuff. They said no. One of the mechanics came over and said that sometimes they might run out of their stock in the rear and might open up a tube and take a "dab" from it then reseal it. Told them that i wasnt too comfy paying full retail (15.99) for an open and obviously used package. They just shrugged their sholders and I walked out. Now im pretty sure that there was nothing wrong with the grease itself, but I sure didnt like the way the dealers retail staff handles their product and customers. Sorry guys, but im no idiot.

Honda Moly lube is fine for all of those points. I used black moly (non-honda) when I serviced my rear suspension and shock links as well as wheel bearings and the above 3 items you listed. Sounds like the dealer is just going on what Yamaha recommends in their service manual.

Grill should be here next week sometime, along with a stainless tailpipe extension and red caliper paint. I know its not functional but it sure does break up that wedge look in the back of the car nicely. And it looks cool too...... ask him: thats the leg of the last person who disagreed with him....

I ran the Carbone Lorraine pads already and I wasnt impressed. I went back to the EBC HH pads front and rear and im happy with them. Nothing against the C/L pads, especially the price, just felt the EBC stops better.

I already had a plugged tire lose air after riding it for 3000 miles. Tire still had plenty of tread too. In my opinion a plug is nothing more than a temporary fix. I already used Ride-On to seal a tire that was already punctured by a nail and that lasted 13,000 miles. The nail was pulled and the Ride-On did its job.

Hope things turn around for ya real soon Dan.

neutral Light Illuminating constantly

Take it in for warranty work. That module contains the whole dash assembly and it costs over $800.00. I wouldnt mess with it myself. Thats what you have that 5 year warranty for.
