  1. if by chance your '06 was a new-old-stock purchase origonally, and still under warranty, I'd involve yamaha. There may be a State agency which oversees vehicle maintenance claims where you live.
  2. the elections here are costing 7 billion dollars. The corporations have to do something to offset the costs of contributions to the PACS so that bonuses can keep going up at the expected rate.
  3. yep. it took me 2 days of trying to get it in.
  4. Just head south from Knoxville TN on US129 and you'll find it.... Then at the south end (Deal's gap) take hwy 28 east to US23 and jump on the Blue Ridge Pkwy to Ashville where you'll find all your friends waiting for you next week...
  5. most corporations are always looking at ways they can raise prices. No one's trying to save you money.
  6. Read the service manual. Its online from a link in the tech section ofthis forum. There's also an excellant tech article by v7goose on how to.
  7. The tool is used for removing the shims. It is NOT used when checking the clearance.
  8. So to get tool out you rotate motor backwards? Yes Or the tool turns thru? no
  9. http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y262/venturerider/2012%20WNY%20International%20Aussie/ Aussie the Roo hitched a ride with me at Maintenance Day this year. He rode along to the International so's he could report back on the sights to Aussie Annie and Quickstep.
  10. Got home to Georgia about an hour ago, 3:30pm. Rode interstates much of the way. Rode in the rain on-again-off-again for about 5 hours until I got to Pittsburgh, PA. Took an hour detour to ride WV16 along the Gauley River and then stayed overnight in Beckley,WV. About a 7 hour ride home from there today. The view of the mountains above Asheville from US23 crossing into NC from TN in the morning has to be one of the most beautiful sights.
  11. The RSV doesn't have a pump for the air shock. The older Gen1 VR did. Buy a $30 Harley no loss hand pump and carry it in a saddle bag. Its small and takes 1 minute to give the shock a shot of air.
  12. The 99 and on RSV and 05 forward RSTD should be the same.
  13. To see what a REAL PITA is, wait until yamaha puts the new VMAX engine in the 2014 Venture.... Or buy any bike where you have to remove the cams to adjust the valve clearance.
  14. We all live on in the light we spread in the world. Blessings upon you.
  15. Jack, may the peace of God embrace your family.
  16. eat more venison..... Glad you were there to help. I think I'm throwing away any helmet that isn't a full face.
  17. New York is just a short ride for you. See you at the International for my free carb tune...
  18. You could probably talk to Steve Wagner who makes the painted radiator grills to find out the correct paint, and maybe his source.
  19. I'm in.
  20. I'll bet the UK bike has a transparent overlay on the outside of the glass of the speedo.
  21. Bill, Pm me with your address if you still need the kit. I have shim asst, shim tool, feeler gauges, picks, magnet, etc. in the kit.
  22. Good to hear from you again. Be Well.
  23. Just tie a frozen chicken to the luggage rack. Pour some BBQ sauce on it, and go for a ride. Dinner will be ready when you get home.
  24. donuts, the next best thing to icecream
  25. its a clean jar joke.
