BURNT! clutch.. wow..
gator06 replied to Seaking's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I put Rotella in my bike this spring, and within one week I new something was wrong. Smelled like burnt oil coming from my crank case breather. I changed to MC oil and all seems well again. When I investigated the oil specs further I found that Rotella has a CI ratting also and Yamma says to stay away from Diesel ratings. I believe the clutch burns up the oil or maybe the oil burns up the clutch. No more smell. All seems well. -
Throttle Position Sensor and Shop Manual Error
gator06 replied to V7Goose's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
My 06 RSV had a TPS that was not in spec either. I had to take the TPS out, remove the metal oblong inserts and file them to obtain a better reading. I set the TPS on the high side and the bike does have more mid range power. My low end is still poor. If you look in the owner’s manual under specs, you will find a statement in the timing area that at 3500 RPM you should be at 45 deg. BTDC. (off the top of my head). The oil flies out of the timing hole above idle so I am going to try and make a plexiglass plug to fit the hole and check the statement. HMMMMMMM!!! ???? Does the TPS and Speed sensor set up the timing curve??????? -

I just completed two grease job's on the drive line. Spray will not get to where it's needed. Next time you lube the drive shaft and final drive fingers, use a Water Proof / Marine - Molly grease. I use Shaffer brand grease, stays where you put it.

I had a 98 RS. Put K&N filters on the carbs, Removed the packing on the baffles in my V&H slip-on's and re-jetted to stage 3. Theirs an article out there covering the procedure. Do a search for the " Big Foot Mod " You will be surprised, no more down shifting to pass!!! -
