Have you checked about the Wix #24933 with Napa and other parts houses? There is also an adapter plate available that allows you to use a spin on oil filter. -
Ive never heard on the news where a bus load of kids was killed by a motorcyclist who fell asleep and slammed into them. After 14 years of working on tractor/trailers, I don't think there are enough safety inspections for OTR trucks. Many of those trucks and trailers are dangerous to have on the road.

Are those actually cracks? Can you feel them with your fingernail or could it just be "cracks" in the mold release agent?

I know on the Warrior board, some polished their wheels and they had to keep polishing them. Im sure if you were to polish them, a body shop could shoot a layer of clear coat on them to seal them. You could also just exchange them for a set that have been chrome plated. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/YAMAHA-ROYAL-STAR-VENTURE-XVZ1300-CHROME-WHEELS-RIMS-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5ada020af7QQitemZ390204623607QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

Truck stops are also good places to find LED lighting. Pilot, Petro, T/A, Loves, etc....

Dang, didn't the race start at noon? 5.5hrs?

I kinda wish that we could debate politics in a civil way on this forum without tossing names back and forth. I'd be really interested in hearing other's folks opinions. I'm a member of another motorcycle forum and it usually stays pretty civil and everyone understands that if your post isn't constructive, that it will probably be deleted. There's one political thread on there that's almost 2900 posts long and it's completely civil. Folks are able to express their views without being insulting or throwing around stereotypes. I'm thankful for being a member there as I have learned a lot about politics and the economy from that "motorcycle" forum.

The radiator cap is the same size as many import cars. Any tool truck or parts house could order a test cap and have it in a couple of days. If they ordered one from Yamaha, it very well could be coming from Japan. I believe that all Yamaha radiator caps are the same size, but I very well could be wrong.

Im sure it'll be appreciated! Good on ya.

wow, it's the new kickstandless model!!

17mm for engine oil and a 17mm for drain and fill on final drive.

How did it not fall over? Sorry to here about this though. Maybe if it had fallen over, it would have received more attention.

Damn, you guys are starting to make me think I might be a pound or two overweight.

Is someone on the board a drunk dialer?

I too hope that the cause of failure is determined to be a faulty part and covered under warranty.

Bearing... Did the bearing fail?

BTW, I run the Purolater PL14610 automotive filter or the Super Tech equivalent, but my bike is about as far out of warranty as an RSV can be.

No, you do not need to use a Yammi filter, but if your bike is in warranty, you should use a filter that the filter manufacturer recommends for the application. Then if something were to happen and yamaha blames the filter and can prove it, you could go after the filter manufacturer for a defective product.

What if the oil filter was not approved or specified to be used on that engine by the filter manufacturer? Many of us run a Mazda filter. No where on any cross reference chart does that filter mention the Yamaha V4 engine. In this thread here, none of the recommended filters in the group 5 size are approved by the filter manufacturers to be ran on our engines, yet everyday on this forum, folks tell new people looking for information to run these filters that could very well void any engine warranty. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=523 Purolator has had enough contact about it to list it on their FAQ page. http://www.purolatorautofilters.net/resources/Pages/FAQs.aspx These questions are about size, but Purolator still points out that they'll deny any warranty claims if a filter is used and it's not listed as being a direct replacement. This is listed on their motorcycle page. http://www.purolatorautofilters.net/products/pages/motorcyclefilters.aspx I'm sure that every other filter manufacturer has the same policy.
