I also did this up grade , PCW , I did notice the clutch grabbing much better , but it does not start to grab till I have the clutch handle almost all the way out !! Is this normal ???

Looked over the shock real close , it is dry , have put on 800KM since the last oil change , level seems fine , right down the middle of the glass ,, will clean the hoses off and keep an eye on them , and will keep you posted thanks for now Steve

Went out on our normal tues evening ride last night , all went normal , this morning I notice a droplet of oil under my bike . 2002 RSV , 43,000KM , any way I took a quick look and the only place that even looks wet are a couple of the hoses hanging there , Any ideas of where I should start , or is it nothing to worry about , There has never been a spot of oil before this , Any advise would be great , thanks ahead of time Steve

Looking for some one to ride with from Swift Current , Sask. to International Rally , we will be heading out July 26th , do not have a route planned yet (will do that along the way) Could also make plans to meet up along the way

I work in the industry (auto body / painter) and have come across this many times , when a bumper is replaced and is not prepped properly you will have bad orange peel . Most times the new bumper will come primed , most replacement bumpers are remand (recycled) any way the primer always has orange peel and is not sanded properly then the orange peel just gets worse with every coat . It does have to be sanded and repainted . As far as every thing not fitting , he either put on after market parts , that do not fit all the time , OR , there is more damage further in . I deal with this every day , if it is not the way it used to be , or better , then it is not good enough......

thanks for the input , i will be doing this mod this week end and will post the result

There was a thread a long time ago about joining the vacume ports that are used to sink the carbs , but I can not seem to find it Any help would be great

thanks for the input , i ordered a new flasher and will let you all know how it works out

i replaces the factory 1157 and 1156 light buls on my 2002 RSMV , with led bulds , i also added some side marker lights on the from forks and under the side of the rear trunk ,all led bulbs,,,,, also added were small led lights into the fairing , for more signal lights only so here is the out come ,,, turning the key on all the new led lights come on , but not the front marker light where i replaced the 1157s , but the 2 i put in the fairing come on as well , and the signal inticaters are on , but quite dim ,, then when i turn the signal light on the lights flash quite fast ????????? any help would realy help me out i hope i expained it right

the clutch boss is not the same , i found that out , i have a couple springs if you are going to double them up , one is new , ,, let me know

It would be a same not to ride that new bike down there to show it off

:whistling:I have a very nice 1987 for sale

In sask. it does not matter about your driving record for the price for the bike , here they charge you more for your driver's licence if you have a bad record , every one pays the same for the same bike . There was a change to the increase , due to every one complaining ,, mine will only go up 15% , so this year it will cost me $1539.00 and then as of aug 2013 it will go up to $1770.00 ,,, did i mention that we also pay $4.50 for a gallon of gas ,,, $1.21per lt.

In sask. we have no choise , we have a gov. insurance here , full coverage with a $700.00 deductable, my 02 RSV is $1545.00 for a year , the 87 VR is $1350.00 a year and there is a big deal going on right now . They are looking into putting all bikes up , the crotch rockets are looking at a 300% increase ,, for me the 02 with go up to $2650.00 a year and the 87 is for sale so I am not going to plate it this year .

Been to Sturgis during the rally and a couple times in the off season , it is a must see either way . We are trying to make plans this year to ride to the internationalrally , then try for Sturgis , ZZ Top is preforming Aug 4th , would like to see them . Then head home from there .

thanks every one ,, i am sure it will be ok as well ,, just wanted to check and see if any one has had a bad results from it ,, the bike runs better everytime i run it , so i am just trying to get away with out taking the carbs off , ,,, will let you all know in 3 weeks i wek in mexica and 2 weeks in hawaii ,, tough life ,,,

Is there such a thing as too much seafoam ,, and is there a time limit to leave it soak . I am leaving my bike behind to go on a 3 week cruise(ship) and was wondering if it would hurt anything to leave seafoam soaking in my carbs?????

I drive a 1990 YJ , wrangler , love it , 290,000km and still going

i have tried the same polish that is used for redoing head lights , worked for me , just take your time
