How do I know if I have a bad rear shock?
Guest posted a topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I'd like to know how do I know if I have a bad rear shock. When I ride with a passenger it seems to bottom out easily. But I'm 300 lbs. & my wife weighs about 140 lbs. So I realize there is some weight on there. I have one of those hand pumps and I give it a few pumps before we both ride, but it se... -
You will notice that I added back the "similar threads" feature that we had before the site upgrade. Let me know if this is a feature that you like or don't like. I can easily remove it if most of you find it more obtrusive than helpful.

Hi All, I was perusing on fleabay and found a couple pairs of RSV passenger grab bars. I have an 06 RSTD. Are these something that are easily added to the RSDT if I don't have an RSV trunk? Thanks in advance Dave

I like to look over the WS, not thru it. Given my height this means the stock WS is about 1-1/2 too high. bike is 2008 star venture was looking at it and seems like I could cut away the bottom to lower it and much more easily mask my cuts. did some searching but didn't find any relevant th...

J Bird did an excellent job and I am surprised at how low he charged. Any other rally could have at least doubled the cost easily.

I have an opportunity to go look at/possibly buy a 92 Venture as a parts bike. Just confirming that parts on a 92 would easily work on an 89 ? They are both still a MKII. Any parts that wouldn't work for any reason ?

A friend of mine, a blue knight, was rushed to the hospital with an inflamed appendix. The doctors operated and advised him that all was well; however, the patrolman kept feeling something pulling at the hairs in his crotch. Worried that it might be a second surgery and the doctors hadn't to...

I am a numbers guy, so I find this way of showing stats so amazing. They show health and income numbers for all countries over the last 200 years and actually made it show something that we can understand easily. http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/2010/12/200_years_in_4_minutes.php/ Bri...

First: I was looking thru the calendar to see what events were planned thru the winter. With dozens of birthdays every month, the events tend to get lost. Any chance the events could be bolded or highlighted or coloured so they stand out? I know there is an icon...but these old eyes don't pic...

Does anyone know if it's possible to deactivate the crusie control "bump" switch? In other words, to keep the cruise control from automatically disengaging when hitting a large bump in the road. I realize this is a safety feature, but after installing a sidecar to my 2005 RSV, the extra moveme...

Hi guys. When I got my bike last year it had brand new front rotors on it and the brakes were not very good. I asked and was told it would take a few hundred miles for the pads to seat nicely. I put on a couple thousand and am still really disappointed with the front brakes. The back will lock up e...

Howdy After being overseas (you do not want to know) I am back to my Royal Star and have been offered a set of Khrome werks with 2000 miles . I have the Harley RK muffs except the bracketts but my friend wants $100 for the Khromes and claims I can remove them for long road trips quite easily. I...

Well, I finally got it on today, and I was very nervous about this whole process. I went very well, got the old one off easily, the new one went on, not quite as easily as the old one came off, but not too bad. It's a Nexen, 165-80/15 that I had Diamond Back vulcanize a 2 1/4" whitewall on each si...

Before I start ripping the dash apart, can someone tell me if the dash components can be easily separated? As it stands, I cannot use the whole dash on my project bike.

I just had my tires replaced by the local Yamaha shop (by a tech service guy who wasn't born when my 1987 Venture Royale was made). After riding it home, I put it on the center stand to work on cleaning the wheels and noticed that even when in neutral the rear wheel does not spin easily. Is this a... -
Sounds like a stupid question I know, but... I've got a spare key & rather than leave it hanging at home while away on 2000 mile trip, thought it might be better to put in on bike somewhere that I can get it if I lose my key while on trip. Just wondering if anyone else does that & if so wher...

Don, would it be possible to make an allowance that we could add tags on threads in the read only technical section? There are a couple in particular that I would like to be able to find more easily.

I need some advice...I have a guy painting my bike (actually repainting the trunk and saddlebag) and he is trying to strip them down, but the paint won't come off. He paints cars (and does good work) but hasn't dealt with plastic much...how can he strip the clear and paint off (quickly and easily) s...

Don - A nice feature might be the ability to export the members list into Excel. That way a member could easily find all members in their area for M&E or group ride. Just a thought!
