Done a few things to the new girl the last few days , one carb #1 was leaking checked it out and the screw for draining the carb was loose so hopfully that will be ok, then i had leak in the radiater so dug into that the fan was rubbing somewhere back a time took the other one off my parts bike my1990 put that on so all is fine for now, then put new plugs in, cold up here with rain so all wait awhile to go for ride to check things out. Who has those washers for sale here for the carbs to get better gas milage ? my other bike is a 1993 same as the 90 even same color.Oh yes put two washer in the fan bolts to have more room, so that wont rub again so you guys with the 1st Gen fix that it will save you in the end. 73 Yooper

Has anyone tried this and in your opinion did it improve performance and milage as claimed. Thanks Richard

For repairs. I've been dealing with bad gas milage for a couple years now. I've had everything fuel related checked, synced, cleaned etc. I've read about these coils going bad on occassion. Namely the number three coil. So this summer I bought a set of coils from a low milage crashed RSV for $40. I'm in the process of replacing the #3 coil. Has anyone done this themselves? If so, how the heck do you get your hands in there to replace it? I've torn up my hands to get the old one out and I almost have the new one in, but I'm having a hard time getting anything in there to tighten the screws. I've pulled the right side rear exhaust off. I moved the two metal tubes out of the way. But there is not much room for my paws. I've gone at it from the top and underneath. Any suggestions?

For the longest time, I have been riding my bike with the petcock in reserve and have had no issues. Well last night on the way home from work on I94 north of Chicago, I ran out of gas with 4.7 miles on the countdown milage indicator. The worst I have ever pushed it is 26 miles (with the petcock in reserve). Never again. From now on I ride in normal and only use reserve when needed. I'm gonna start watching milage a little closer again also and not rely on that IDIOT light. Kevin

Okay, who has the highest milage on their ride

I have been reading about changing to a VMAX gear, just wondering is it worth it? Would like to have a little more acceleration but do not want to loose to much gas milage, is this possible?

I just finished the water temp voltmeter and oil pressure gauge install. I have a 4.1 mile trip to work where most of my milage is put on. I get poor milage usually and I was wondering. My engine doesn't even get to where the fan kicks on by the time I get to work and my oil pressure at idle is 20. when i take a longer trip ;the idle oil pressure is about 10, which is to be expected as the viscosity decreases. I wonder if my short trip mileage is bad because the engine is not warm enough? I remember I think between naps in my thermo classes many(38) years ago that the higher temps are more efficient as a rule. any thoughts?

I have been reading different post on carb adj. sinking of carbs, float adj. ect. Now what I need to know is how to adj. the jets? How do you know if the adj. is right? with out some kind of air/fuel gauge it is imposable to know if all the jets are right threw all 3 ranges. Your idle could be right & mid range ritch & high end right. witch in turn would be lower fuel milage. Or at high speed the first 2 could be right & high range could be ritch. in turn lower fuel milage & maybe lower power? I know about pulling the plugs & checking them but that is not real acc. in all ranges eather.

Got a question to all my fellow 06 RSV owners. What kind of milage do you get out of your rear brakes,cuz it seems like every time I need a rear tire ( about 8,000miles)I'm having to replace the brakes also and I think that's absurd especially since the bike sees more open highway then around town miles and I have always been more of a front brake first kinda rider.

I finally bought me a carb sync tool and I can not wait to get it an see what kind of difference it makes in the gas milage on my ride. My 89 royale runs great but only gets 35 miles per gallon no matter what I do.

Went on a group ride from Mobile to New Orleans on HWY 90 west. We averaged about 50mph and I filled up and put in 1.8 gallons and went 93.7 miles. I think that is 52 mpg. Comming home on I 10 east at indicated 75( I know really 70) I went 198 miles before I put it on reserve. Total milage on that tank was 204. Have not filled up second tank yet. Really happy with first tank milage. tew47

Just ordered my set, can't wait to get them on!! Tried of the brickstones. What kind on milage should i get on them? I'm not an agressive rider(easy on the throttle).

I'm new to the forum, but not to my '83 Venture. It's tire time again, but Metzler dropped the ME-88 that gave me such good milage. The Dunlop I have on the rear now got less than 1/3 the milage of the Metzler. What is a good tire for tire milage? I ride one-up, seldom in rain, and am always careful on takeoff and stopping. Metzler ME-88 = a little over 20,000 on the rear. The Dunlop Arrrow Max GT-501 is nearly bald after 6800 miles. Thanks for any replies.

I'm just wondering if all of your 06rstd's/ventures have a whirring sound like a jet engine when you roll the throttle? I was out Saturday and parked beside a venture that didn't have that sound. Mine has, since it was bought new last August. I thought it was due to the 4 cylinders? Milage and acceleration are both great but definitely doesn't have a V-twin sound. Should I be worried? What can you yama-experts tell me?
