    which is why some loaders making special light loads, will fill the case with a wad and then cornmeal to keep the light powder load together and in front of the primer.

    I wouldn't necessarily equate belt drive to quieter than a shaft. Some belt driven MCs have been known to have noisy belts. The 950 is air cooled, and air cooled engines are generally noisier than water cooled, in my experience. So you need to try it for yourself to see if its what you want. You might keep an eye on the Yamaha Demo Days schedule (even in the US) to see if there is one that you could easily get to, to try one if your dealers won't let you ride.

    I believe a motorcycle with shared oil between the engine and transmission will wear out the oil much sooner than an engine alone.

    It would be interesting to get a handling comparison between raked forks and leading links.

    My Yamaha dealer sells Mobil 1 4T synthetic as well as Yamalube. I wouldn't trust the above mechanic to touch my machine.

    Thats a beautiful bike. Too bad the weight has gotten to be too much for you to handle safely. Don't be a stranger though......

    Thats strange. Thats about the mileage where I would expect to have to switch from normal to reserve position...

    A new twist on the designated driver idea...... surprised me when I pulled up alongside on the way back from Steak & lube

    the key really only requires the cuts on one side to be used. So. you could have a key cut for your ignition on one side, and for new helmet locks on the other side. And mark the key so you know which is which. I've had an aftermarket flat key made as a spare which will fit in my wallet. Others hide a spare key on their bike.

    Wondering if Bob / midrsv got his tire?

    I think these numbers are generated by a drunk monkey pounding on a keyboard.

    you didn't say anything about your average speed or road conditions. At 65mph on relatively flat highways with little stop and go and using the cruise control, I get 43+ mpg with either my RSTD or RSV. if riding faster, or doing a lot of accellerating in the twisties or stop and go, then mileage falls off. I've also noticed that sometimes I'll get a bad tank of fuel that won't give the expected mileage.

    I'm about 4 hours south in Georgia. I'm relatively certain I could find a tire and bring it to you to be mounted if you can't find one closer. There is a stocking MC tire shop here in Dahlonega Georgia. http://www.tiretechniciansinc.com/ 706-284-2494 About 15 miles from you is: THOMPSON'S YAMAHA 2915 BAKER HWY HUNTSVILLE, TN 37756-3807 Ph: 423-663-2222 http://www.starmotorcycles.com/assets/common/blank.gif going North up I-75 is: I-75 YAMAHA 171 N KEENELAND DR RICHMOND, KY 40475-8687 Ph: 859-626-0663 http://www.starmotorcycles.com/assets/common/blank.gif LEXINGTON MOTORSPORTS, LLC. 2049 BRYANT RD LEXINGTON, KY 40509-9427 Ph: 859-253-0322 Talk to Honda Dealers also asking for the size you need.

    I have a shim kit and tool in Dahlonega, about an hour away from you.

    I think either Murphy NC or Blairsville GA are well centered for good riding in the 3 state area.
