RIP NSA Joe

Praying for Joe's speedy recovery.

I also recently changed the oil on my SVTC as well...then ordered a rear tire for the RSV and hope to receive it this week. For now, the RSV will stay in the garage since I don't feel safe riding it anymore until I get a new rear tire installed.

I am not sure where Hocking Hills is located and I will be coming from York, Pa. I am definitely interested. The sooner we can get a date, the better chance I can manipulate my calendar. I looked up the location and the ride is apx. 6 hours from my location.

So glad to hear that everything is looking good. Your riding sounds like it is speeding up the healing process.

I am 6 hours away from Don, but I am very interested for a ride. Looking forward to meeting most of you once this plan materializes. I'll be following this thread. Weather should improve in a couple of days with cooler daytime temps and lower humidity.

I've seen a similar technology on new cars as well. My aunt was shopping for a new Toyota last weekend and she asked me to help test drive the vehicle with her. This particular 2024 car has a feature that if you are on Drive and it is sort of bumper to bumper...there is a button on the console you can press and it engages the brake strong enough to keep the vehicle stationary and allows the driver to take the foot off the accelerator with the vehicle still of Drive. Once traffic starts moving, simply press 'that' button and it releases the brake and off you go. Happy to hear you were able to enjoy your sweet ride over the weekend.

My prayers for her speedy recovery.

Might be an easy way to get hit by a cooking pan on the head.

In my case, she was perfectly fine with it. The trick is to let her know in advance.

Hello Don. I am ready as well just need to let this heat wave get past us.

Congrats on a new ride. It might be a good time to arrange for a group ride.

Prayers to you Don that you will not loose your eyesight. Injecting the eye to remove some fluid sounds like a very delicate operation. Wishing you the best and hoping that you can find the right bike for you to enjoy.

Congrats on selling the bike. I am sure the new owner will have lots of smiles and miles coming up.

All set here. Just logged in using my email address. Thanks for the heads up.

I've had good luck on my Duracell motorcycle battery installed in my RSV. After a little over 3 years now, the battery is still performing well - no complaints.

lol...some people just like me don't have any choice at this point. I really thought you meant SNOW, but that is hopefully 6 months away. At any rate, I was able to ride my RSV to and from again yesterday and will switch to the SVTC today. Wind therapy for the next 3 days....yay!

No leisure riding for me lately. Simply riding back and forth to work. Busy lately at work, but at least I get to have some riding every now and then.

Congrats on your new ride. I coudn't comment on the two wet carbs on your left side, but hopefully someone can respond with a fix. Try to clean and wipe down the wetness and see if it still persist. As for the choke, I always have to pull it our halfway on an initial start and after sitting for more than 10 minutes. Always warm up your RSV to a good temperature before riding. RSV's need to warm up really good.

I am on the opposite side. I also have the '18 and had all the warranty items replaced by my trusted Yamaha shop. At this time, I think my yamaha warranty had already expired. Ride safe and enjoy the bike.

@labill I just saw this post. Hopefully your original recalled started has already been replaced and your problem resolved.

I am also getting close to replace my front wheel since it is a 2018. Still a lot of rubber left and also inspecting the tire almost every week before any ride. So far so good. Need to shop for that large hex wrench, if I can find the correct size and purchase it individually ... not a set.

I also got the 'Banned' message this morning, but I knew something happened and it is in the works. Thank You, Don for the update. Glad to be able to sign in again.

Glad you are ok after that incident. It could have been a lot worse.
