Us "older" folks say "they don't make 'em like they used to..." but in Yamaha's case for the RSV it's "we make 'em like we used to.."

I have a Sirius Stratus 5 unit. Got a complete car mount kit. Works great.... rarely have a signal loss except in tunnels, etc. I mounted the antenna on the dash of the bike. Here's some pics

I know there's a number of posts on this but I did mine slightly differently so thought a fresh thread was in order. Firstly tho, thanks to all the others who have posted info about this topic. From it, I was able to complete the wiring very easily and your posts gave me ideas about mounting my horn in a different location, plus retain the stock horn. As you'll see from the pics, I mounted my horn just aft of the passenger footrest. I made a small bracket to fit on the rear footrest mounting point. I put a bend into it to hook underneath the footrest bracket soas to counter the weight of the horn as there's only one bolt holding the bracket. Pics are in order of completed project --> creating the bracket. OH man that sukkah is loud! Question.... there's a small plastic air intake attachment on the bottom of the horn. Looks like a person should connect a tube up to it and route it somewhere. Any suggestions on what the rest of you have done with this??
-
Are you referring to the ones on the bottom edge of the fairing? If so .... I'd suggest that sheet tint will not work very well due to the number of compound curves on them. Unless of course they've made some changes to the sheet tint over the past 10 yrs.

OOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your "narrative" makes me hurt!!! FYI, you're not a "Klutz" ... someone else on this site has already claimed that title ... For pain I have a rule of thumb... (Ibuprofen aka Advil for anything above the shoulders and Tylenol for anything below) ... generall works for me. hope ya get well soon!

Care to share how you went about making this including pics? -

Thanks Don, you're Correct ... but, you CAN get sick from it (just to clarify).
-
OK, so how do you account for so many people getting sick after having a flu shot? From what I've heard, you almost have to get sick in order for the immune system to create the anti-bodies. Now, those who get the flu shot every year may not experience this but those who don't or who have never had a flu shot... well, I know several who got real sick. Urban legend?...I don't believe it. Frankly, it's a documented fact.
-
nope... didn't miss it... but didn't pay a lot of attention to it either. I guess my internal "data filtering system" told me it was out of place to the rest of the thread so I just cruised on past it.
-
Actually you can ... Polanski was an actor and is a big name in the film industry so in essence, they both worked in the same industry and probably crossed paths at least once.
-
sorry Don... but I for one do not see it going this way.

Now here's a "DOG" ... http://www.theprovince.com/life/Muscular+Schwarzenegger+pooches/2044317/story.html

yup!

They do that up here too although I haven't seen that practise for several years. I got caught right in the middle of that one time when I had my '83 Wing. Dust and rocks flying everywhere...we basically had to pull over and let all the cars go by (it was limited to one-way traffic with a pilot vehicle) before we could proceed. Very difficult to manoeuver as it was all fresh.

I haven't heard of any bike accidents caused by road snakes but, just like a lot of other things, they'll prolly not do anything until there's been a number of deaths as a direct result.
-
I don't make plans because I live life "in the moment"; however, I have dreams.... and my dream is and has been for many, many years to spend my retirement touring on my bike for as long as I can. "Follow the Sun" I have at least 5 years yet to work before I figgure I will be able to afford to realize my dream. I'll be 67 at that time... hopefully I'll still have my health and agility that I now have.
-
I wonder if anyone, anywhere has done anything about getting a ban on these things or lobbying to change how they do this. Recent readings in here as well as my own experience ... it's obvious that these things, especially in corners, are a "clear and present danger" to bikers all over.
-
heh ... Boomer... have you ever stated the same quotation more than once? Man, you should write a book of all these quotations!

spark plugs and gap
SilvrT replied to Goofeychuck's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I use NGK and the gap is 35 thou. I've also used the NGK Irridium but can't really state that they make a heck of a lot of difference other than how long they last. -
ok, so he said he checked the tires but did he check the tire pressure and was the gauge he was using accurate? Maybe the brand of tire? put more air in and see what happens. And it could be those other things too...
-
Not necessarilly .. low air pressure will also.
