Two problems here the way I see it. 1. Good computer operating system design should not allow unknowns to download and install anything. (in the name of user friendly....) 2. The open design of the internet with very little accountability just invites this kind of behavior when open tothe world. The internet was designed for a limited number of academics and govt people who know each other to work together .

I was no where close to right with my guess.

I bought a new '08 RSTD in 2009 and loved it and rode it for a year before getting the bug to try an RSV. A forum member posted a craigslist link to a low mileage 2000 Millenium RSV and I bought it with the intent of selling one or the other after a trial period.\ I like the RSV slightly better on the road. It seems ever so slightly more comfortable with the old style stock seat. I had Rick Butler mod the seat, and that made just slightly more comfortable still. Slightly better wind & rain protection with the RSV. But, slightly more top heavy which is a negative since its right at the limit of my inseam challenged legs. RSTD is slightly more nimble, particularly since I put a 130 front tire on it. Put the RSTD up for sale and could not get what I thought was a fair price for it, so kept it and now have both. I ride 1 up mostly. I've contemplated selling the RSV which I would lose less money on and keeping the RSTD since its almost as good. There are also fewer things to work on with the RSTD when you take away the electronics and fairing. And its easier to work on the RSTD because of no fairing. I usually take at least 1 long ride without the windshield on the RSTD each summer. Otherwise they are much the same. I've not ridden a first gen, but like the styling of a fixed fairing and windshield. Are you sure the 1st gen is a 1993 1300 engine, or might it really be a 1983 1200 engine.?There are several major problems with the 1983s.

Only 842 miles from Dahlonega, GA. Much the same as it was to Chaffee, NY for me.

I had no trouble with the ME880's that were on my RSV when I bought it, and would be running on a new M880 if it hadn't picked up a nasty nail on the way to Cody last summer. Since all I could buy in Cody was an E3, thats also what I went with when I replaced the front this summer. I think the ME880s handle and wear very well. That said, I ride one-up and like to inflate to just under max pressure per tire manuf spec .

what load does he like with that AR ??
-
26,000 is when the book says to check them. And thats a very conservative interval.

You're probably going to change the overall gear ratio-to-the ground if you put on a larger diameter rear wheel and tire. It will look mechanically like a lower ratio (higher gear) which likely isn't a good thing.

A close call is better than the alternative...

sweet ride !!! Looking forward to seeing it at the 2013 MD

The Carbon One stand works fine on the 05-09 RSTD's if thats what you're suggesting. unless you're asking for a modified version of the 'lever' lift in the orig post?

Introduction and questions about my new (almost) ride RSV Millennium
RandyR replied to 9Grenzen's topic in Watering Hole
so which sequence number Millenium did you get. I have 404. Bought 2 years ago with 16000 miles, now has 33000. I had to flush the brake & clutch fluid twice and wipe out the goo in the bottom of the reservoirs to get the fluid to come clean. The po had put a new yusa battery in it that is still strong. If you can start it 3-4 times after turning it off and it still cranks strong, then the battery is probably ok. The rear hub pins were dry on mine and needed lube, but the drive shaft still had some grease on it. Plan on sending the seats to Rick Butler for softening up during the off-season. The stock seat is relatively comfortable, but Rick will improve it. Picture ????? -
