    2001 yamaha rsv
  1. I purchased my 2001 rsv in April, it had rear ended a car so I had to replace the front forks, rotor, tire, fender, handlebars, lightbar, and fairing. The bike is rideable but I haven't put a lot of miles on it. But every single time I ride it brings a smile. Today its going to be about 82 degrees, so I'll be on the bike.
  2. Ditto on the road king pipes. Not too loud but when you get on it, it sounds really like a v8. I didn't change the jets but I did install k&n filters. It feels to me like it has more power.
  3. The replacement rubber to rebuild the petcock is under 10 bucks at the dealer. I found out when I turned off the gas to remove the tank and had fuel everywhere. Took a couple of minutes to do after draining the tank.
  4. The kit that I bought came with a can of spray oil and the cleaner. You can probably find the spray at your nearest auto parts store.
  5. The battery charger you are using is a very slow battery charger. Just have to be patient.
  6. Hi, Every vehicle I own has a k&n filter. I will wash the filter, let it dry overnight. I spray it with oil, let it get sticky, then install. Have tried starting the bike without the filters? I have never waited overnight for the oil to set, its usually about an hour. I used these filters for 35 years. Does the bike turn over?
  7. I purchased a wrecked 2001 rsv about three months ago. I have used this forum many many times to figure out the ins and outs of this bike. These guys are great. Brett
  8. I have 01 rsv. I put shinko 230 tourmasters on it shortly after buying the bike. I purchased them at the dealer for $275.00 installed. I've got about a thousand miles on them. I like them, they are smooth on the highway and stick well in the corners. I had them add Ride On to the tires and I have zero vibration. I researched tires a lot before my purchase. I am happy with these tires.
