That's kind of been my thought also. Heck...I bought this thing but every time I get ready to install new tires, I end up taking the rims to the local Honda shop. They charge me $25.00 per wheel to mount and balance and I figure that is reasonable enough and saves me a LOT of time and effort.

I sure like the looks of this thing but don't have $900.00 to spend on it. I do have the cheap Harbor Freight model that I have never used. I think I've bought tires 3 times since getting it and always end up getting lazy and taking the rims to a local shop to have them mounted. Part of the problem is that I haven't take the time to bolt down the changer. I really like this hitch mount setup and may look at building some sort of adapter like that for mine. http://www.webbikeworld.com/Motorcycle-tires/motorcycle-tire-changer/

Jeff pretty much nailed it. I don't know of any fix for the cruise control and I know of no CD player that will fit in that space. Most of us use MP3 players anyway. As for the cassette door, if you push lightly right in the center it usually works well.

Sounds nice to me. I remember when I used to ride a motorcycle to work when I worked nights at a power plant in Texas. In the spring and the fall, it was a nice ride but when you went through those bottoms, the temps would drop as you describe and would be quiet chilly for a few minutes.

As far as I know, there is no actual jet kit for the RSV. You have to buy the individual jets. The one you see is for the Royal Stars.

Do we have to have yet another car tire thread? Some here think it's great, some think it's stupid. No reason to stir the pot at every opportunity.

Here you go and it's very simple. Your dealer is trying to rip you off. It's about a 15 minute job after you've done it the first time. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=258

Mileage shows up wrong in Classifieds?
Freebird replied to a topic in Computer help and tips for using this site.
If you entered the wrong zip code, you have to delete that cookie in your browser and then when you go back to the classifies, it will be blank and you can enter it again. You don't have to clear all your cookies if you don't want to. Just open your cookies and search for zip and it will come up. Delete it and then go back to the classifieds and you can enter it again. Unfortunately, that may not be the case. The zipcode database leaves a lot to be desired. It seems to be wrong fairly often but usually not all that bad. I find that on anything a long ways off, it is usually a couple hundred miles off. I figure they are calculating it by straight/air miles and not by roads. Don -
If you go to your ad, you will see some icons to the right of your name. There are several of them and it says "User Options". The one on the bottom left I think is "edit ad". Hold our mouse pointer over each of them and it will show what each is.

Yes, here is a link to the whole manual. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1828

Also, the one you are looking at will not be correct. You need one for the 1999-whenever Royal Star Venture.

Here you go and for the record, there simply is not a better company to deal with. http://www.diamondraccessories.com/yamaha/yamahaproducts.php

No, unfortunately I never saw it in operation. Here is a link where Webbike World reviewed it though. http://www.webbikeworld.com/heads-up-display/

Just checked, it works for me too. It must not like you Carl.

Yea, I didn't say that right. I'm not talking about the side burner that is used for pots and pans and etc....I read that it has an additional burner in the box area for lighting the charcoal. I've actually seen this on a number of new grills lately but may be mistaken about this one.
-
I agree with most of the comments. I know that many of us, myself included, have done 700-900 miles a day from time to time. Even over a thousand. It starts taking the fun out of it though. I would certainly try to keep it under 500 miles per day.
-
Yep, still works here also.
-
I think Eck gave you a good starting point. I don't think the front is that important. Based upon the weights you stated, I would guess though around 40-45 in the rear.
-
Cindy, My tire sits on the trailer, not on the rails. I personally think that is the way it should be.
-
I don't know for sure, but from what I read online about it, it does have a sideburner that can be used to get the charcoal going.

No, you pull it behind the mower and it vacuums the clippings, leaves, whatever. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_404568_404568

Actually, there is already a Heads Up display unit on the market that can be added to helmets. We gave one away at the Rally in Colorado last year.

Folks...it's OK to debate an issue but this thread is turning into nothing but personal attacks. It is possible to disagree with an idea without taking personal shots at each other. I know that several people feel very strongly about this car tire idea but if the personal attacks can't be controlled, I will have to close and/or delete this thread.

I know that Rick Butler put the tips on his RSV. I think he somehow punched and then tapped some holes. I got lucky when I did mine. Bought a complete set of RSTD muffers off Ebay for $70.00.
