    Looking good Art. I've always liked the Valk more than the Wings

    Do you have one with the RSTD (2005-2009) specifics ?
  10. RandyR
    yes, as long as you understand the differences. same engine, brakes, frame and drivetrain. the wiring harness is somewhat different as are the switches and headlight & fairing/windshield & electronics & trunk. But 98% of maintenance items are the same. The RSV online maint guide that a member has made available works, as does the Clymer manual.

    http://www.tobycreek.org/oil_filters/yamaha.shtml Gives this style of filter an unacceptable rating. admittedly an 8 year old web page. btw. this snowmobile oil filter cross references to the Yamaha filter for the Royal Star xvz1300 engine..... http://www.parkeryamaha.com/yamahaoilfilter5gh134400000.aspx edit. Just read on a snowmobile forum where they believe the construction of the Yamaha filter will stand up to vibration and jarring better than pleated paper filters.

    I'd probably try Meguiars Plastic cleaner on it. http://www.meguiarsdirect.com/imagesEdp/p84826b.jpg

    So whats your goal? to reliably haul around the sidecar at legal speeds and enjoy the ride and scenary? Or to be the first one to the next gas station? Half the sidecars I see (well maybe used to see is more accurate) on the road are attached to BMW airheads. That tells me that the first scenario is likely covered by an R1200 irrespective of the touted engine specs.

    Looks good. see you at Maintenance day

    Many of us here use a frame/lift adapter made by member Carbon1 with a Sears jack. The Carbon1 lift adapter locks into the holes in the frame where the center stand would be on bikes without one. The Carbon1 adapter can optionally be ordered with legs such that you can then afix the legs after raising the bike, and then set it down on sturdy legs and remove the jack. Thats what I do. There are numerous threads here about this. some people use a couple pieces of 2x4 on the jack to keep it away from the pipes.

    would need a new rear tire on my RSV first and an oil change.

    Did you say you were going to be at Cody this summer?
  20. RandyR
    yes. but if you have the covers off and are to the point where you're measuring the clearances, you might as well be prepared to finish the job, if needed. btw, the 2nd gen valve cover gaskets fits a 1st gen, and are better gaskets.
  21. RandyR
    I have a kit with the valve shim tool when you get to that part. PM me when you know you'll need it. Sometimes there's a queue for the kit.

    Good news Randy. Please keep us posted

    I don't think that statement is necessarily true. I have a 30 inch inseam and am finding it increasingly difficult to find a bike that appeals to me with a seat height under 31 inches. many are 33 inches. That said, the seating position on a 2nd gen Venture / RSTD along with the footboards seems to make a very comfortable riding position for riders of various leg lengths. Padding can be added to the seats (ala sofa seat or Rick Butler) to give additional height if needed.
