    I turn mine off when parked. I use on when riding and generally don't switch to reserve until the engine starts to sputter (usually 7-10 miles after the F odo comes on). Then I ride 20 miles or so on reserve and look for a gas station. That way I know everything is working.

    I had a 1997 k1100lt. It was a smooth riding comfortable bike. But.. The maintenance costs were high, I was using a dealer, and I had problems with the service even after the big bucks. After problems with an insurance repair, I walked away from it. They're called the flying brick. Lots of riders love them. If you do your own wrenching like many do on the Yamaha V4, you'll probably be happy. The fairing and adjustable windshield are excellant+ . The seat height is a bit higher than the RSV if thats a concern.

    Bill, You say "I have had to switch to reserve with no light or f trip meter" then I'd look at the fuel sensor which probably triggers both.

    You're supposed to put the SeaFoam in your gas tank, not drink it..

    There's a good Mexican restaurant with a patio if the weather's ok, about 100 yards south of Moto 400. I could meet there at noon for lunch.

    I'll be there from 12-1. I have to be in Norcross by 2. It would be good to meet you and any other members.

    Well, I don't recall there being a low fuel LIGHT. Just the flashing F odo. Maybe thats one of the few differences between a RSV and RSTD.. In which case I just need to back out of this...

    hey hey, the sun came back.... Really looks good Lewis. Nice job.

    Once in a while. Particularly if I have less than a 1/4 tank of fuel. Happened to me today after the bike has sat for over a week. Once I got going, the low fuel indicator was on, but the fuel gauge went up to 2 bars. I reset it back to the ODO position and after riding about 20 miles it clicked on again (for real). I went another 20 miles and then filled it up with 4.2 gals (RSTD 5 gallon tank).

    http://www.leftlanenews.com/honda-v4.html new Honda V4 1200cc sportbike with automatic transmission. I like the way it looks and the engineering.

    A couple members have cut the heel half off the shifter, and just used the toe. The shifter does have an adjustment on it you may also want to play with.

    Yep, sun is out now. I'm going to take the RSTD out for a short spin. However, weather report is for the rain to move back in later this afternoon and continue thru the weekend....

    There's a poll up by Squidley which makes it sound like Potato Creek in Indiana, USA is the choice for the IR (at least eastern IR). Since the IR is only going to be a few hours away from Freebird's, it seems to make sense to me to have the IR the week before or after June 19th (MD). What do you think?

    At 55 mph I get 42 mpg. But it starts to fall off as speed increases above that. At 80mph it starts to get down below 35mpg. I haven't adjusted my carb's floats yet, which I may do as a winter project.

    Its tapered off to only a light rain this morning....

    woe be to the first bug to splat himself on that fresh paint... Looks real good....
  21. RandyR
    so how many $1,000s of damage was that to the bagger at the end...?
  22. RandyR
    Why did I think this would have something to do with a ride around the Arkansas capitol?
  23. RandyR
    let us know how the ride's progressing if you have internet access.
  24. RandyR
    I'd like to see a schematic of how that could happen? Glad you got your bike back finally.

    Sounds like a good trip. Increasing the forward lighting may be counterproductive in some cases. While you want to be able to see the deer, those that get blinded by the light may be even more random in their actions than normal. You didn't say whether or not you have driving lights or fog lights on your RSV. Of course there's a sizable list of lighting upgrades/changes members have done to their 2nd gens. I've bought a set of the driving lamps to add to my RSTD, and am going to try some high intensity yellow LED H3 replacements as combo fog lights/driving lights. That will be my #1 attempt to increase forward lighting and help in the all to frequent fog situations.
