This is normal. It does not mute the radio.

We have enough chiefs running around this place or what? welcome to VR Chief. MMCSSW

According to the map, Skydoc is in the Altoona area. Maybe you could ride over to his place. I'd do it, but That would be a weekend trip.

Idle adjustment is a small black knob on right side behind rear carb tucked up under the tank. Looks like a big Phillips head screw. If you have chrome carb covers it is at the rear of the right over.

What's a 3 day weekend? Heck, what's a weekend?

A very sad day for Venture Riders. Enough said.

Don't forget Thunderbird. Smoooooth

Glad you got them.

Found them on ebay, $38.99 Just google the part #

I have an original Yamaha accessories catalog from around 2002. What your looking for was available through Yamaha, but I don't think you can get them any more. Except maybe on EBAY. part # is STR-4nk26-20-00

And for all my fellow squids....Bilge wine anyone? For those long weeks or months at sea.

You do not have a separate reserve tank. It is all one tank. the petcock valve has a high suction and a low suction. When it is in the on position it is taking a suction on the high suction tube. When the engine starts to sputter the fuel level is below the high tube. When you shift the petcock to reserve, you are taking suction on the low tube near the bottom of the tank. this will give you about 1 gal. of gas to get you to a gas station.

Cut my teeth on MD 20-20 and BOONES FARM!

From one retired Chief to another... on the Gentleman Jack, best darn sippin whisky money can buy. However, any port in a storm, as they say.

I will say this again as I have in another post. If you run it in the on position all the time and stop for gas when you get down to about a 1/4 tank like I use too. Then that one time when you do need the reserve you may be in for a big surprise, like I was. Water and other gunk will settle in the bottom of the tanks and guess what happens when you shift over to reserve for the fist time in like a year. You will be wishing you used that reserve more often. We were lucky there was a gas station just down the road. When we got home I drained a large amount of water out of the bottom of the tank. Now I'm on reserve all the time and stop when I hit the 1/4 mark. I always have a fresh tank of gas on board. I mean what the heck, my truck doesn't have a reserve petcock valve. And I've never run out of gas in the truck or the car....at least not yet:whistling: So what's the difference with the bike.

At Max's drive in, in Waterloo NY. He owns a "01" rsv, red on red. bought it new in 01. Ask him if he was a member, said he never heard of Venture riders. Well, he has now. Hope he checks us out.

they had to pull the trunk and cb off the bike to build the trike. Probably a loose connection. check the antenna connection. make sure they hooked them to the right antenna.

There is no perfect place to hold the rally. If you want to host the IR, put a plan together, set up your committee, present it to Don for approval and make it happen. Post it on the calendar and wait for the sign ups. It will happen, but not if someone doesn't take ownership of this thing. Stop talking about it and DO IT! They will come.

Bagger Shield, Low for cruising and high for long distance riding.
