    Great bike. I have had 4 gold wings and a memeber of GWRRA for over 27 years. Rides better than any GW that I have every had. I have 104k on mine and my longest run was 1240 miles in 20 hr, the next day 600 miles and the next day 600 miles. Just got back from the smokie mts on 1400 mile trip. Was hauling my bike on a trailer and lost my seat. If any one knows where there is a factory seat for my 2002, please let me know. Ride safe, bike is top heavy especially when doing dead stick turns such as in middle of road. But when you get your feet up and roll the throttle, it is a great ride. Ran mine 90 to 110 all day long across the desert out west, not recommended but was riding hard.

    that is what mine is, but that one is in rough shape. I was of hopes someone on this site has up graded to an after market seat and would have one they would sell or let go. thank you for your response. I'm sure someone on here has one or know someone who does. How could I get more members on here to see my post.

    PLEASE NEED HELP ON MUFFLER LEAK. The power sports motorcycle shop in ocla fl changed my tire when I had a blow out on a trip. they messed up the wrap that goes around my pipe to makes muffler fit tight. I never had a problem taking off and putting back on but they crammed it back up in pipe and messed it up, and now I have a leak on right side. What and where can I get some more wrap to put back? Can not stand the sound only from one side.

    I have a 2002 midnight rsv with 85k. Have lowering kit on rear but handles bad at low speeds. I see where you can lower front by sliding tubes. Does this easy fix work? Love my bike but having coolant leak also for 1st time and shock leaking.
  17. maddog2498
    Had similar thing happen to me. Call yamaha dealer, jim martin in fitzgerald ga. and he told me that I probably had moisture in my lines. Mine would pull in but would not dis in gauage the clutch. Changed fluid 2 or 3 times to flush all old out and put in new fluid and had no more trouble. Got moisture in mine coming out of Tosa nm down into Albuquerque nm. I NEED HELP WITH MY REAR SHOCK, it is leaking and I have a lowering kit on it. what schock do I need, where to find, can it be rebuilt, and how much? I do not seem to be able to find anything trying to search on this site.

    I have my 2002 midnight venture down for valve gaskets and doing adjustment while in there. I have app 82k and never been into it. I just bought a tool and was wondering if I could find the shim kit and be able to use it. I have a man doing the work and he said some are running at .03 on intake(should be 4 to 6) and exhaust is .06(should be 6 to 8. what do you suggest to put these back to and do you leave the 6 where it is. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    yes 2002 midnight venture. thanks v1100, for you detailed info. I just made a new windshield and put it on. Just a few more steps to get the fairing off. Do I put the di-electric grease on the pins or just on the housing to seal out moisture? thanks all yall for your input. I see cords for sale on Pinwall cycle that I will order. maddog:cool10:
  20. maddog2498
    Thanks for your replies, where do you start at splitting the fairing? Do you have to pull the gas tank?? thanks again, maddog:fingers-crossed-emo
  21. maddog2498
    My headset cord is bad, the cord that is on the gas tank. How do you and how hard is it to change or maybe have a new end put on by soldering?? I see that I can get a used one at Pinwall. Any help will be appreciated. thanks , maddog:fingers-crossed-emo
