SundayRider Posted April 9, 2012 Share #1 Posted April 9, 2012 Just wanted to say hello. Sold my Honda VTX and now have a 2001 RSV. Has about 66,000 miles with no real maintenence done to it so I'll be picking some brains on here. Sure glad to find a friendly group for this bike.

dingy Posted April 9, 2012 Share #4 Posted April 9, 2012 Start looking in the tech forum. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=14 It seems obvious, but there have been some people that weren't aware of this source of a lot of info.

SundayRider Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share #12 Posted April 9, 2012 Thanks everyone. I have been digging thru the tech sections and I know I need to flush coolant and brake fluids. Also need to adjust valves, carb floats, and sync the carbs. About the only thing he did is change oil. I'm no stranger to wrenches so it's just a matter of time and the ever elusive patience when I'd rather be riding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your going to scare the poor guy. Your suppose to wait at least a couple weeks before you pull out the brain eating spoon. Now get back to your rubber room. Who let you out anyway. Anyone know where the straight jacket is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SundayRider Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share #25 Posted April 11, 2012 Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Glad to see no one takes themselves to seriously here. Don't see too many Ventures around this area so I'm glad to find all this knowledge here. I'm just never happy with someone else doing my wrenching.
