So Steve, I'm guessing you got home OK with your RSV. How do you like it so far?
-
Thanks again
-
And it really only takes just under 7 oz?
-
Thanks
-
I saw that one at the store but it said it was API GL-5 not API GL-4. I don't know what the difference is.
-
What type and brand of oil is everyone using in their final drive? Can you use a multi viscosity oil? I had a difficult time finding SAE 80 GL-4.
-
I just got a smart phone and noticed that there is an app for the Venture Rides site. What does this app do for browsing VR site? Thanks
-
I stand corrected. I sure thought I read it was suppose to run premium. I'll be saving a little money in the future. Thanks

Where is the best place to see Redwoods in N. California?
uechi kid replied to Midrsv's topic in Watering Hole
I don't think it's a waist of time. It's pretty country. I just rode this route the other day. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Chilpancingo+Pkwy&daddr=38.41096,-122.20309+to:CA-128+E%2FCapell+Valley+Rd+to:38.51621,-122.46133+to:38.57644,-122.53151+to:38.6006469,-122.5853381+to:38.6835209,-122.8415411+to:S+Cloverdale+Blvd+to:CA-128+W+to:S+Main+St&geocode=FYh1QwIdtW25-A%3BFdAaSgIdLlS3-ClZdO8j4gKFgDEQ7A0cNGDFrQ%3BFZVkSwIdu5-2-A%3BFfK1SwIdbmOz-Cl9UwEQplCEgDEs8cwQ2B6RBA%3BFTihTAIdSlGy-Ckd5O2xrlyEgDFEc5ogj-KRww%3BFcb_TAIdBn-x-CnT9I6fV0KEgDFl0r8dWRUzHg%3BFYBDTgIdO5at-Cnn1ro0xhGEgDEbIMO6fzeAZg%3BFd7LTwId2fqq-A%3BFYpAUwIdvoil-A%3BFcvGWQId2N6e-A&hl=en&mra=mrv&via=1,3,4,5,6&sll=38.666212,-122.861137&sspn=0.044633,0.077248&ie=UTF8&ll=38.754083,-122.937012&spn=2.852727,4.943848&z=7&dirflg=d It takes you through the Napa Valley on Hwy 128 and then to the coast just south of Mendocino then to Fort Bragg. From there you could continue north to Oregon. It's a great ride. -
California models must be different. My owners manual says run premium.
-
I use mine all the time. Now if I can just get something like it for my Kawasaki Mean Streak.

OK this is my Final question....

Can't you just swap out the whole unit? -
Here is a "How to Install a Vent" if anyone is interested.
-
Well I never got a renewal notice in my email. I had logged on in the morning to check some tech stuff, then in the evening I was unable to do a search. Renewed and I'm back.

Oil Drip - Normal (see pics)
uechi kid replied to rumboogy's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I also had this same issue. I took the oil filter off and let it drain. In order to lower the oil level to half in the sight glass I had to do it twice. I still get a fair amount of oil dripping on the kickstand while riding. Is there a way to clean this up to stop the dripping? -
So, about the Redlind CV-2. Is that a yes or a no?
-
Has anyone heard of CV2 by Redline? Will it work for lubing the splines on the rear wheel hub? http://www.redlineoil.com/product.aspx?pid=82&pcid=17 Thanks

I'll try to make this short. I'm the new President of our local STAR Touring and Riding Chapter (Chapter 186 Contra Costa Ca). The closest Yamaha dealer is about 40 miles away in another county. There is a Honda/Suzuki dealer in the middle of the county that has asked Yamaha for a dealership but has been denied because Yamaha will only allow new dealers to be a "stand alone" dealership. OK, to the point. I'm starting a mail/email campaign to encourage Yamaha to grant this Honda/Suzuki dealer a Yamaha dealership. Our Chapter is all for writing Yamaha to put pressure on them to allow this shop a dealership. Because the sport bike market is so large I was wondering if there is a national riding organization like STAR Touring And Riding for sport bikes. If so I'd really appreciate any information so I can contact the local chapter to enlist their support. Thanks.

Mine is set up correctly, but why does it make a difference?
-
In our STAR group there are a lot of CBs. We use them all the time, it's great. Although, this last weekend Lone Eagle didn't ride with us and it was a little too quiet. Most of the after market radios in our group are by J&M. They work great paired with the FirestikII antenna.
-
The low here is $3.51 at Costco and the high is #3.75 at Shell. That's for regular. Premium is $3.71 at Costco and $3.95 at Shell. Diesel is $3.99 at Chevron. Ouch!
-
I recently installed Mic-Mutes. They are well worth the time and money. Before Mic-mutes when my wife and I would ride for a whole day, the road, wind and engine noise would wear me out. Now, with the intercom off most of the time, we are sane when we're done for the day.

Replacing Air Filters
uechi kid replied to uechi kid's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
BEER? -
It's time to replace my air filters. I was planning on using the K&N filters then it occurred to me that with the Barron after market mufflers it might run too lean. Do I need to worry about that?
-
Thanks for that explanation.
