I looked at a similiar one and the same things were said and after just puliing it around the dealers parking lot I decided it was too much.

Prayers Sent.

I did a very stupid thing yesterday, I bought a Tach Multimeter and wanted to check it out, I turned the fuel on and hit the starter button but it would not start and about the time I rememberd I had the fuel pump out is the same time I smelled the gas. . About half a gallon of gas was on the pad beneath the bike and my garage still smells like gas. Lesson learned, when you take out a part of the fuel system put a tag or something on the valve to remind you not to turn it on.

I am going to replace the connector nice to actually find something definitely wrong.

Eck, I just looked at it and it sure does. Thanks

Ok I am about to push my bike over a cliff, first I thought I had carb issues so I went through the carbs cleaned and adjusted everything very little change. Changed fuel filter and checked out the fuel pump it seems to work well on the bench with good pressure and good suction. One day out riding I turned the key on and nothing happened turned the key on and off a couple times and everything lit up, this has happened a couple of times then last week I turned on the bike and everything lit up and it cranked but would not start turned the key on and off a couple times and then it started. I figure my switch is going bad but Is it causing all the other symptoms too ? Will a ignition switch going bad effect performance or is it all or nothing?

I used one of these last time and it worked great. http://www.motionpro.com/motorcycle/partno/08-0482/

J&M has the handle bar mount ones. You know a good RM could just build one

Not a bad deal make sure they check for dry rot since it sat up awhile.

Talk about night owls, I had been in bed three hours by the time you posted.

Yeah my reply was sort of redundant I am glad it worked for you.

Sounds interesting but I don't think I would do it unless it was a last resort.

Thanks for the post, I have bought two of their batteries one is 3 years old and the other is a year with no problems. Oreily's gives military discount too.

Is the snow going to be gone by Maintenance Day

Both RSV's I have are make alot of racket compared to other models, if you can make a recording of the noise and post it. You may also want to get up with someone else to see if theirs is making the same noise.

Just think only 274 more days till Christmas. :sleigh:

Praying all goes well and a speedy recovery.

Dress nice shirt tie slacks don't really need a suit, be prompt and polite.

I can't afford to buy novelty clothes and things after all the LED's and safety Chrome.

Cool

It's all them fancy gadgets you have Glad it was not worse. I have heard of people pulling the jack out without the kick stand down too:whistling:.

Congrats !!!1

Saw alot of that this weekend with more people breaking out the bikes since the weather has been so nice.

The first drawing was one I did back before the Venturers came into being for Don using MS Paint of all things sure brings back memories.

The whole thing : Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream: 'Tis the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion A home and a country should leave us no more? Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand, Between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation; Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust" And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
