    Not sure why this bothers people so much. it isn't harley riders, it isn't gold wing riders, or sport bike rides or people with helmets or people with out helmets. It''s every type pf person that waves and ever type that doesn't. Sometimes they don't see you, sometimes there are so many bikes they get tired of waving. Man you are on you motorcycle enjoying the ride don't let something as little as a person not waving spoil your day. Smile when they don't and enjoy the wind.

    IN Case anyone cares I LOVe my Royal Star Venture. I love that you can see the motor, I love the forward controls verses my feet going straight down. I can ride it for hours and hours. I guess the chirp is a pain but I really don't pay to much attention. I read on here where people keep trying to change something and figure out things but I don't have the time. I bought mine to ride and we rode 39,000 miles last year living in Illinois so you can see we don't have time to complain or try and change the bike. Again I love my bike. Oh yea and by the way I have a goldwing in the garage.

    WOW I was just through there and could have used a carb sync or at least a check. I put new diaphrams in the carbs and I should really check the sync I suppose. Maybe I will get lucky at Scooter Bob's MD next weekend and somebody will mhave the tool and know how.

    The E3's are still available according to the dunlap tire rep I just talked to. Try looking for a MV 85/15 size for the rear which is the number for the goldwing. I think you will find it that way. I wear out about 2 sets of them a year and just ordered a set last week. I get about 14,000 miles out of them on the back and could go about 18,000 on the front but change both when the rear gets thin. If you can't dind them the guy I order from could probably get you a set and have them shipped to you instead of him.

    I'd love tp ride with you but it's about 300 miles from my house to yours. Now if you wanted to meet someplace between Madison and Janesville that would be doable

    All I did was apply bees wax. My tank bra is just like the air covers and I have had it on a month and the water doesn't spot it or anything. It will show some spots till it drys but looks like new then. I apply the bees wax about every 2 weeks. But I also ride about 1500-2000 in two weeks

    Really mine worked fine. In fact I bought a couple for the plastic deal that goes around the gas cap also.

    NO buy it at auto zone or advance auto but buy the 50/50 mix with no silicants and it says safe for alumiinum motors. If you are not sure get it at a motorcycle dealer. A little more money but better of than to get the wrong kind

    Well, I put new diaphrams in the carbs and man did it make a world of difference. I only rode it about 20 miles but it is so much smoother. I am not sure but I believe it is better than when I bought it last july. So now I know what it was and next time I'll replace them first. By the way, replacing the diaphrams was one of the easiest things I have ever done to a bike. It tokk me about 45 minutes from start to finish. I believe I need to resync the carbs but my friend EUSA1 said he would do that for me. I will be ready for riding now.

    What did you find when you opened them up? I just put new air filters in. I ordered 4 new diaphrams today. I got a pretty good price from my loacl dealer $99.23 including sales tax. The bike is 11 years old so can't hurt to change them. As for the seafoam I have run plenty through the tank, I run a few ounces threw it ever 8-10 tanks which is every 2-3 weeks. I checked the plug wires but will check them again. Hopefully the new diaphrams solve the issue.

    Well they are easy to change and not very expensive so wouldn't hurt I guess to change them.
