Hey Orrin, Glad to see you back on a bike again. How does the shoulder feel? I'm ready--We'll do it on a nice day though. I'm gonna plug the AIS too. The last two things to do. hahaha, Is there ever a LAST thing to do? Steve

Hey Gary, did the same thing myself on sat., not very far, roads still ful of salt, but it sure felt good. As far as the whine goes, I"m hard of hearing, so I'm not worried about hearing the whine. We'll be riding soon enough. Steve

You have a stuck needle/float. I'm going to try to paste a link to a thread that I started yesterday having to do with this. If the link doesn't work, I'll come back and answer you better. Steve BTW, the credit goes to Cougar for his excellent tech article! http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=20738

Front Fork Air Balance Kit
eagleeye replied to a topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
Having an 05 RSTD, I'd want to know why you want one. Steve -
Hey Pete, It was very different, but then again, it was sort of like riding on blacktop, but when you first get on the salt flats, it is very washboard like., then it gets very flat, and you just want to open it up. (so of course you do) They do have a speed limit, which of course I went way over (had to) All in all, a very cool deal. But in getting to your thread, me and my brother camped. You've got to go there, Steve

Hey Orrin, That's a beauty! Bring it by. BTW, Orrin is going to help me out by bringing his carb tune over to do my 05 RSTD and my 86 VR Thanks Orrin, PICK UP YOUR RSTD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Steve

Hard to know exactly where to put this, but after taking my carbs off for the second time, I think that I could do it at the side of the road, which brings me to my point. I'm planning on comming out to Don's maintanence days for the comorodorie, (sp) if nothing else, but I was wondering what I could do to add to the maintanence part of this? Well, now I know: If anyone is having (or had) problems with their floats sticking and running out the overflow, I've got this one figured out. You can use seafoam or tap on the float bowls, but this does not solve the problem, it's a very temprorary fix at best. This is my theory: the ethenol creates moisture, which in turn creates a buld up of tiny, and I mean tiny white crystals on the four points of the needle which contact the ID of the seat and DO NOT slide up and down in the seat lilke they should. I was going to post some pics that I took using my macro but they were all blurry. I took some 1500 grit wet paper and removed the grit on all four needles, (my front left was my cluprit) using magnification, and I'd love to help any of you out with this. Or, I'll take my carbs off and show you what to do. What do you thilnk? BTW, this is on a 05 RSTD. Steve

Some years back, while deer hunting, I'd shot a nice buck and he kept running, so shot from the hip. He was too close to aim. Dropped him like a rock.-------Good memory. Steve

I have mine in my tool chest. GREAT TOOL! Steve

Well, I'll tell you what Pete, My last wife was very good at a camping list. It was very inclusive. Nothing left behind. And then when I was in my forties, you know, old---I started thilnking that the ground was way too hard. Now, I'm in my sixties and all I need is my self inflating air mattress, sleeping bag, tent, some sort of light and a place to crash. Last summer on a trip out west, at the end of the day, about the time I figured that it woudl be good to stop, I would look for a camp grounds. I'd pull into the first one I saw at that point. Always worked out. Really didn't matter what it was as long I could put up my tent. BTW, did stay at KOA's, For sure not my first choice. Just do it. Steve
