3 inches of snow in New Tazewell Tennessee area

I am ready for Spring. My RSV is begging for be ridden.

An hour west of Steve and we have 5”. Almost a blizzard for this part of the country.

I had my drone out this morning

We measured 3 inches in our back yard this morning. I'm good for the rest of the year

Hello and Good evening. Last Monday, we had about 4 inches of snow on the ground. So far today, we did not have any but our roads are salt covered. We are expecting another bout of snow overnight which may be just a dusting and up to 8 inches according to the weather man. The snow range prediction was so huge that I just laughed it out loud. Temps has been sub freezing and will continue to stay cold for the next 10 days. I guess it is still winter. At any rate, it may a good time for you to pull that snow blower and shovel and start burning calories. Regards.

Hello VentureRiders. It's been snowing in Western Kentucky most of the day. It got pretty heavy after lunch for a few hours, but it's about stopped. We may have 3 inches around my house. What's happening in your town?

Not sure about thevsecond gens but the 1st gens had an oil level sensor. If the level was low the light came on but but sometimes depending on were the level was at the light would come on during certian riding conditions. Also check your wiring condition tomthecsensor.

It probably is too cold for the operator in New Jersey to be flying drones this time of the year.

Nope, Government controlling the information flow.

Check your oil level. Half way up the glass, no more no less, bike standing straight up.

Guess what...I have not heard anything about those unknown drones for a few days now. Did they magically disappeared?

I have a 2006 Yamaha royal star venture and I can putt around all day and the engine light will not come on but if I get on it just once when it's warmed up it comes on. I turn the key off and turn the bike back on ,no light till I get on it abit. Any idea what is going on? How do you check to see if there are codes?

Sure thing. I will paste the links below: Keep in mind that I did some dremel mods to some of this and where the "toothed" pieces join together because I was mating 2 of the same kind (with three teeth and built in nut....on the aluminum ones I drill out one of the nuts so I could use a screw and on the plastic base one I cut off the tooth with the nut. Also because of that they dont mate up perfectly flush so I added a couple thin washers between the mounts so when I screwed it tight they didnt break. If that doesnt make sense I can post a couple more close up pics of those areas if you end up getting similar set up. Another thing, the part that clamps onto the tube or the camera was a slick plastic that was not real grippy so I also added either a real thin piece of rubber or a piece of this 1 sided adhesive grip tape like you put one the floor to help hold a rug in place. This made them clamp on real secure so I should not have to adjust them often since the bike vibration may want to move them over time....figured one I know for sure I like the placement then I also plan to go back and use blue locktight on all the screws that go into the aluminum clamps since I am guessing over time those may also want to back out a little bit. 1x) This is the one I used at the back to connect to the tubing under the luggage pack... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D149HB3J?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 2x) I used 2 of these to hold the cameras... 1 at front and 1 at rear. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D142YW5J?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title 2 pack) Connected one of these to the above mounts that hold the cameras https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CPJ5MDTR?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title On the below link... I already had these but the helmet mounts like this come in slightly curved mount for helmets or the flat mount (the mount is rounded on the sides), the flat is the one I used to stick to the chrome part of the trim: https://www.amazon.com/Sametop-Adhesive-Accessory-Compatible-Insta360/dp/B0CR1FZLDY/ref=sxin_16_sbv_search_btf?content-id=amzn1.sym.7032aefd-3c59-4a1e-aaf4-8d3a944207a4%3Aamzn1.sym.7032aefd-3c59-4a1e-aaf4-8d3a944207a4&crid=22GU68HQJMMLV&cv_ct_cx=go+pro+adhesive+mount+flat&keywords=go+pro+adhesive+mount+flat&pd_rd_i=B0CR1FZLDY&pd_rd_r=ba5cde73-68cd-4501-bb9c-fd74f8fcd50f&pd_rd_w=HksOC&pd_rd_wg=ljJvb&pf_rd_p=7032aefd-3c59-4a1e-aaf4-8d3a944207a4&pf_rd_r=KD2JJ5KMVTRBH4GKMWBG&qid=1736352891&sbo=RZvfv%2F%2FHxDF%2BO5021pAnSA%3D%3D&sprefix=go+pro+adhesive+mount+flat%2Caps%2C111&sr=1-1-5190daf0-67e3-427c-bea6-c72c1df98776

Drew, when you get it on the road again, would you mind doing a recording/video of the bike at idle and also with rpm's raised a bit? When I bought mine in October it sounded a bit puffy/out of sync. Since the valve covers were weeping, I figured it was a good time to check and adjust valves and put on new gaskets. I've adjusted valve clearances (6 intake buckets were just a bit on the tight side at .08 and .09mm - just under the .11mm minimum spec) and am still in the process of cleaning up gasket mating surfaces and gunk prior to reinstalling covers, carbs, etc. Once I get it all assembled I'll sync the carbs. Would be nice to have a right-running engine/exhaust sound to compare to. Thanks!
