You have a rock wedged in there keeping the stand from coming down.

It was time to renew my bike insurance. I decided to get a quote from Markel Insurance at http://www.markelinsurance.com/motorcycle I got full coverage insurance for ONE YEAR with an upgrade to liability coverage over Texas minimums and $500 deductible on comp and collision for $173.00 period. I pass this on in the hopes it may save somebody else a buck or two. I have nothing to do with Markel Insurance other than being a new customer of theirs.

As per the tsb available on here, I have grease on the terminals.

Menieres Disease. Buckets of flonaise and decongestant do it for me.

I use T6 5W-40 as well. I would recommend a clutch bleeding with new fluid assuming you don't need a new oil change. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?97279-Baking-Clutch-Fluid-Exhaust-Heat-Shield

Please expand on this. Pictures, a write up with instructions, and DNA samples are what we need. Thanks!!!

Check wires at starter solenoid. Check engine ground. Check battery connections. Check starter connections. Bad connections are the problem and maybe even the ignition switch. Kickstand has no effect on dash board lighting or gauges.

I would reply to this but I am too young to know what the word "COGITATING" means.

Too Cool!!!!

DOT4 has better heat handling ability, is recommended by Yamaha, and just plain tastes better! Check out why your clutch fluid is darker on page 2 of the following thread by the Yamaha bulliten enclosed. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?97279-Baking-Clutch-Fluid-Exhaust-Heat-Shield Ignore the DOT3 usage in the bulliten as it was an old bulliten explaining clutch fluid color. DOT4 has supersceded 3.

Please use DOT 4 Brake fluid... not 3.

Holy C$&^

No, the stock Dunlop D404's that came on mine from the factory were load 74. See here http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?107652-Shinko-777-Tires and look at Mtirecompare.pdf for load ratings.

WOW!!!

I has access way back when to AV-gas. 106 Octane low lead. Ran it in two bikes occasionally. When they were on AV-Gas, I could full-throttle in top gear at 30 mph with absolutely no pinging. (high load-low revs) It did not make them faster. It did not make them use less fuel. It made it safer for the engine under high load on a hot day when my intentions were to bang the redline in as many gears as I could, for the four or five passes I was going to run. Otherwise, I ran regular. See the AV-GAS stickers below.

careful reading the factory manual. use the nm reading for torque specs given. sometimes the ftlb measurements in the book are way wrong. like... 51 ftlbs on a 4mm bolt

Darn.... Must look for another Guinea Pig.....er INTERESTED PERSON.

idle rpm set at 1000?

Here is an idea for the next big project for those RSVowners who want to be able to set their CRUISE SPEED greater than 80mph. Do what VICTORY MOTORCYCLES did and install a ROSTRA CRUISE CONTROL module for less than $200.00. A RSV already has the:On/Off Switch, Set/Resume Switch, Clutch Switch, Cancel Switch, Tach Signalfrom Coils, Speed Sensor Signal from Drive Tube. You could use your FACTORYCONTROLS and no one would be the wiser. This would be the perfect project for @Freebird next project on his brand new – already blinged out – RSV. Notice I am volunteering you. Shown below is the VICTORY MOTORCYCLES parts list. Item #20is the CRUISE CONTROL module and VICTORY MOTORCYCLES is kind enough to tell isthat it is a ROSTRA module. Here is an advertisement on AMAZON where you can get one forless than $200.00 ROSTRA is located at http://www.rostra.com/universal-aftermarket-cruise-control-by-rostra.php
