My 07 TD is exactly the same calibration as yours. Go figure. I don't get as to why Yamaha purposely calibrates the speedo's as such. No rhyme or reason to me. -
This is what I ended up doing George. Thx for advice & replys to all the brothers on my post. I did go with Rotella T6.

I too was having a "getintoneutral" issue, however once I swapped my clutch plates & frictions out due to 5th & 4th slipping, the shifting into neutral went away. Just my 2c. Bobby

Clutch Cover bolt orientation
Bobby replied to Bobby's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
Thx anyway Don, however between the parts list, service manual, or owners manual, nobody indicates where they go. Grrrrrrr... -
Woops! I'm bad. I'm about to do a clutch job & forgot there's a difference with two cover bolts. I don't remember the location to the two longer cover bolts. Can someone help me out? Bobby

Thx much for your reply. I did swap out my plates over the winter with Barnetts plates, however I stayed with OEM spring. I think I'm going to eventually switch over to the Barnett pressure plate with all the good reviews I've read. Thx again.

Thx for all the feedback. Great info & options. You guys rock!

Thx Jeff. The oil stated it was Mobil1 engineered for European technology. Living in Canada (Windsor, Ont.) I don't recall ever seeing a "Mobil1" specific for motorcycle or wet clutch application. I suppose I'll have to shop around for an alternative oil, opposed to only sticking with Amsoil, which can get rather pricey ($15. Cdn per liter) but all in all it's the performance that's the overall priority here.

I'm 1/3rd up the sight glass with the bike straight & level. By using Mobil1 would this cause clutch slippage. It doesn't specify whether or not it's for wet clutches so I changed back to Amsoil. I'll take it out tonight for a scoot & we'll see what happens.

My 07 TD is for some unknown reason to me, dripping oil from the vent tube exiting underneath behind the oil pan. Not a lot, but enough to raise concern. I've recently done an oil change with Mobil1 0-40 & had trouble shifting into neutral when idle, along with a little slippage in 4th & 5th, so I switched back to Amsoil 10-40. Over the winter I swapped out my clutch to Barnett clutch. Looking for opinions. Bobby

I recently ordered a new pair of throttle cables from my dealer. No luck. Then my dealer calls Yamaha only to hear that they discontinued one of the cables. I have an 07 Tour Deluxe & can't believe Yamaha would simply discontinue this replacement part. It's a "have to have" part. I can get one of the cables part number 4XY-26311-00-00. The other cable part number 4XY-26312-00-00 is the one I can no longer get from Yamaha. Any suggestions???

battery, or charge system
Bobby replied to Bobby's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
Also found out that the battery cable to the charge system was loose which would explain the radical readings. So now I picked up a new battery along with tightening the cable, I believe I finally got the issue resolved. A HUGE Thx. goes out to you guys here @ VentureRider. Bob -

battery, or charge system
Bobby replied to Bobby's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
Well, the results are in. When I read the battery after charging again: Without starting, it reads 12.5 With it running @ about 2000 rpm, I get 13.1 to 13.8 I disconnect the negative while running, it keeps on running. Now the question is, do I get a new gel battery, or regular battery? Thank you to all my "gearhead friends",...that replied. You guys are awesome . Bobby -
