EZ fix. Wrap a piece of chewing gum wraper around the blown fuse and your good to go.

I used a block of wood under the side stand on my second gen. Was a bit thicker than a 2x4 maybe 2.5 or 3 inch thick. That holds the bike just about level. Then no higher than about half way. If you get it to full it will push oil out and end up with oil in the air box. Then it makes a mess dripping. Dont feel bad about not finding the sight glass, I had to look to find it every time I checked level. Almost like the thing moved around on me.

Barry hope we can maybe do a couple meets this summer. The jig is up now man. Steve took the wife and I to THE Mexican joint and oh man!

The 1700 Voyagers are kind of know for being nut cookers. I personally have not rode one, but it was on y list when I was shopping for the RSV.

Mike, gonna hate to see you go man. who else is going to be able to get this lazy Fla bunch to meet and eats? LOL Wish you the best of luck man.

Dang..... So Puc who ya gonna pick on now? Don I am a pretty firm believer in what happen is for a reason. If you get back to riding great, if its a break in action thats cool too. What about one of the wingy thingy. Plenty of info on them and parts to boot.

I am with you my friend. I mount hem inside on the cage. TOO much work keeping clean. I would black out all the chrome if I could too. I would rather ride than polish. This black bike is about to drive me krazy.

shinko has them in the white walls. http://www.shinkotireusa.com/tire/777

First 2 places to look. Battery and ALL the connections. The ones at the battery , then down on block the ground there and check you connections on the starter relay left side low under side cover. If you have a multi meter check you battery voltage too. Has the bike been running lately? Or has it been stored for awhile? Is there water/acid in it? Or capped up and you cant tell. How old is battery?

When I read "trades" I figured I would offer to trade her a couple hundred for it. I had a GS 1100 like that. It was a pretty good touring bike. But it is antique engineering now. I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

And a bit noisier for some of us as gears squeal.

If I remember the story he made a dang good living writing jingles. Enough he didnt have to tour all the time, like most performers, and it also afforded him the opportunity to write many of his hits. Now is he a performer I want to go see? Not on the top of my list for sure, but I do think he is a good musician. Just not my style.

My bet is the points are gone. That is typical onthose type of units. Thats why when mine crapped out I went with the Mr Gasket pump. I did a write up somewhere.

A second vote for the Victory Cross bike. I also have the Cross Country Tour, But the Cross Country is basicly the same bike sans the trunk. I came off a RSV and have to agree, the difference between the RSV and the Vic is only believable if you go ride one. They handle more like a sports bike than a 800lb touring bike.

In my opinion thats to much for a bike wheel. I typically wont even put that much on a car tire. Before even mounting the new tire, they should have stripped off old weights and cleaned the tape residue off wheel. Most motorcycle tires have a "dot" and that should be mounted where the valve stem is. Other wise its a crap shoot where the heavy spot is. Sounds like they dont have things lined up. Mark tire at valve stem, rotate 180 and try again. Or easy fix, peel weights off, put some balance beads in and never worry about it until its taken off.

' LOL I guess that could do it too. Or here in a day or so he will post something about "my side car......

Bleed the front brakes. Just to make sure you dont have a caliper that is retain pressure.

They would probably throw me out being I aint a Yamaha rider no more. LOL I have been looking for a summer ride to do. I am of work from June 17th till middle of August I think.

Saw some pretty tricked out ones @ Daytona this year the day we were up there. Custom paint, complete roof, custom seats lights OH MY lights. Have fun with it. Just on a inquisitive note, how is the storage on those? Thats one thing I have not checked out when I have seen them. I know the motor is up front so how much storage?

I bet I have got at least 3 sale ads in the last week for tires from various bike parts places. LOL do you think I could find one now? The main ones I get ads from are Cycle Gear, Motorcycle Superstore, Jafrum. I had put Shinkos on the RSV prior to selling it. I ran them probably 6-8k and they looked as good as the day I put them on. I never expected the mileage out of them I got with Michelen Commander 2. But so far had been satisfied with them for the money.

Didn't own it per say. I did rid one for a fellow a few times @ races. I think it was a YZ 100 Had a RD 350. Scary fast for me at the time. Expansion chambers, and "slider clutch". You could almost drop the clutch from stand still and it would slip, motor rev and almost pull wheel but GLH !!! 750 virago. I think it had a pillow top seat too. LOL For a small CC bike it rode nice on highway. Oh yea and the 09 RSV I just traded. None of the pics are of my actual bikes. I think thats it for the Yamahas.

When I had Sprint and unlimited data, probably my most used app was Pandora. Long drives to work, and trips I used the heck out of it. Now that I have changed jobs, dont travel hardly at all and have a new service (Verizon) and pay for data I really dont use many apps unless I am on wi-fi. But the raindar sounds interesting. I also recently bought an I phone 4 (mainly for the ipod function) and am thinking about swapping over to it as a phone. I have been android since we got smart phones. Dont know if I want to completely learn phone systems all over.

Help me simplify those major electric bike projects too. I'm calling Steve. All the circuit wizardry, I would have magic smoke everywhere but where it should be.

I had something similar happen to me while on a trip. I was up in Canada, passport in right bag and when I got to hotel I couldnt get in right bag. I was paniced bad. What had happened was when I closed the bag something got in way and made the trip lever not latch around the "loop" instead it latched under it or something. Try to figure out if it is latched or just hung under it. The lids are somewhat plyable so you bend it some to try to push down to get it loose or whatever. I couldnt get my "plunger" to go down far enough to release the lactch. It took some work and probably an hour or so to get it unlached. I would work on it, then walk away and clear my head instead of get frustrated and mess something up. Maybe something in the gap to keep it from pushing down while you mash the button.

What kind of bike? Year etc. Where is your key now? If its a 99-2013 RSV or a Toure Deluxe 05-09 I think it is I might be able to help out.
