Several years ago my CB antenna snapped off my 06 RSV as I understand has happened to most RSV owners. I understand that the Yamaha antenna has 8m stud and most available antennas have 3/8" stud. I read somewhere that Firestik made a adaptor for this, model K-1A8M. I cannot find any mention of it on their website or anyone that sells it. Sierra Electronics makes an adaptor for Harley, but nothing for Yamaha. Could I buy a standard 3/8" fold over adaptor and rethread the male end to 8m x 1.25 and make this work with a Firestik Firefly antenna?

ACE50, I ordered the pilot jets from my local Yamaha dealer. I also ordered new plugs and scissor clips for carb vacuum ports. Their price was reasonable and they added them to a next day shipment at no cost to me. I only use them for parts and not for service. Here's the info off of the invoice; PILOT JET (#17.5) PART# 4KM-14142-17-00 PRICE 3.99 EACH BLIND PLUG # 16G-13569-00-00 PRICE 2.94 SCISSOR CLIP # 90467-10039-00 PRICE 2.25 Hope this helps.

I just wanted to report that I got the floats adjusted, installed larger pilot jets (4KM-14142-17) and set mixture screws at 2 1/4 turn out. Fired her up today for the first time and she's running like new. I have been battling the pilot circuit for a year now putting up with bogging at take off, having to leave choke on for a while in morning, popping on decel, and rpms not dropping back when shifting. Even had to increase idle adjustment to get it to 1000 for no apparent reason. Today I had to drop idle from 2000 rpms to 1000 rpms, no popping at all (plugged AIS years ago), no bogging when cold, the choke acts right, and running smooth. I have danced around pulling the carbs and tried everything else in the book. I did not find anything plugged or abnormal. Air box over #1 & 2 carbs may not have been seated good from previous work. Saw where someone else had te same problems and went to the larger pilot jets. Not sure what fixed her, but I hope this info helps at least one person. Follow Goose's instructions on removing the carbs and adjusting the floats. I've been afraid to ride much while she was not right, and now I feel like a kid with a new bike. Thanks to all for help. Older than dirt and still learning.

The floats are too high on my 06 Venture. They measure .280" and I want to adjust to .340". I have searched thru a lot of threads, but have not found how to bend the little tab on the float for adjustment. Would someone please tell me how to do this without breaking something? I would also like to thank everyone involved with the super tech articles that have made life a lot easier for me. Great Job!
