Hi Dave! Got a few thousand miles on the repaired shock with wonderful results. Rides like a new bike! Thank you for your knowledge and great work. Mark

Yo! How many miles did you get in your nexen? Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

Nexen rear, Shinko front. Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

Hey divey! Any progress on tracking down that noise? Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

I have a mustang with a backrest on my 2005 tour Deluxe and used to have an ultimate seat. I found both to be very good but preferred the ultimate. I have an 08 RSV too but i prefer the stock seats. There's my 2¢![emoji6] Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

Thanks Puc and Freebird. The manuals helped but in the end i just routed then in the most unbinding way i could get them behind the windshield crossmember support. The throttle cables still contact the windshield but so it goes. I could not get it to not contact. I'm riding the mofo as is! [emoji16] Let's ride! Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

Actually, I was hoping someone would take a picture of theirs and post it. Thanks for verifying the post was in the right place though. Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

Did i post this in the wrong place? Is this the stream where i can ask questions? Are you guys just ignoring me because I'm rich and famous? [emoji41] Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

I can't seem to find how the throttle cables, brake and clutch lines route behind the windshield on an 05 tour deluxe. Anyone got any pics to share? Sure would help. Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

The sound puts me in mind of the sounds a hollow tube and plunger would make. Hmmm, now keep in mind I'm not an engine mechanic, but would a non firing cylinder be capable of making that noise? If so, how could you tell/test? Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

Yes, my 08 venture does that sometimes. I would be very interested to know why. [emoji848] Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

Congrats! You've joined the right place for info on these bikes. Search or ask and you will find what you need. I'm on my second tour deluxe and also have a rsv. My favorite thing about these bikes it that they are designed well and run on regular gas and oil. Low dough is the way to go! Ride safe! Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

Ok, assuming naps are all done now. I have an idea. Like others I do not prefer the clutch handle operation now. I was thinking if the master cylinder plunger or clutch handle itself was modified to move the engagement zone closer to the grip it would be a bit easier to control. Any good ideas on that little piece of modification? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Well, the video explained that the clutch should be assembled in a specific way....or....180 degrees out from that specific way. I had assembled the clutch 180 degree out, which worked of course, but I went ahead and put it back to original spec. Didn't change operation at all. The lever engages as mentioned at the beginning of lever travel, the clutch hooks up nice and tight. The cover didn't leak. I'm back in that tall cotton field! Thanks for chiming in. I appreciate it!

Well, now my ocd checks in and I do have to open that unit and check the assembly like DuRron alluded to when looking at the video he suggested. Dang nab it! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Ahh! Thanks to du-Rron and Flyinfool I'm in tall cotton! Don't have to open that unit. I'm good with the engagement out at the end as long as that is where it's supposed to be. I got a big hand so.... Notta probleemo! Let's ride! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Marcarl, what were the issue that were cleared up? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Now about this: anyone? I did line up the friction plate notches but did not consciously set the plates in the basket as described with the plate notches in the slot with 2 dots/marks. Is this mandatory for proper/safe operation? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Hey Rafterd! Seems I missed anything about bleeding at the banjo connection. I pumped it up and cracked that joint open and it spit like a snake. Air and fluid. Subsequent tries yielded only fluid. Checked the slave bleeder valve which only yielded fluid. Started the engine and tested the friction zone. It seems closer to the handle. It's getting ready to rain here but you can be sure I'll be checking it out asap on the road. Thank you sir! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Hello fellas! Got a few questions I can't find an answer to by searching these forums. As suspected I did the PCW clutch upgrade and replaced the DOT 4 fluid as it was dark. Not too hard of a job as I'm only mechanically inclined with little to no experience. However, once the upgrade was done I discovered the clutch friction zone is now only about 1/2 inch at the end of clutch handle travel when the clutch handle is let out. It hooks up just fine. No slip when applying hard acceleration in higher gears. Is this clutch handle friction zone area correct? I would think the friction zone area should be close to the handle for better/easier control. Also, I did line up the friction plate notches but did not consciously set the plates in the basket as described with the plate notches in the slot with 2 dots/marks. Is this mandatory for proper/safe operation? Hopefully your input will negate the need for another opening of the clutch compartment. Thanks, Mark Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Dang! Pushing uphill on I79 would be a chore. Kudos to ya Yammer! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

As an owner and rider of both, I agree with Kretz! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Hey Fitz! I have a failed shock from a 2005 RSTD. If you want it to try to fix I'll give it to you. I will probably need one as I currently have a 2008 RSV. So maybe a deal can be struck if you are successful? Mark Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
