    Ive ran Chevron Delo 400, Mobil Delvac 1500, and Rotella T. Im running Rotella T right now because I picked up a 5 gallon bucket for free but they were all equally good oils. I would probably run Rotella T because it can be bought damn near anywhere in case you ever had to top off.

    Naptha is a generic term used for any petrol distillate. Im sure the tank we have at work labeled "Naptha" is very different from the coleman stuff labeled "naptha". Our naptha is a oil based solvent and is not as flammable as coleman fuel. The naptha at work is also a great gun cleaner. [ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naphtha[/ame]

    Try that in Texas and there's a better then average chance you'll end up with a little extra ventilation before it's over with. I'm glad you ended up OK, but I'm assuming that no one here as EVER accidentally cut someone off.

    He's not looking for the bearings, he's looking for parts #2 and #3. http://www.boats.net/parts/search/Yamaha/Motorcycle/2000/XVZ1300TFMC%20ROYAL%20STAR%20VENTURE/REAR%20WHEEL/parts.html

    I have a Clearview XXL and a yammie shorty. I have less buffeting with the shorty then I do the CV. Also get better gas mileage with the shorty. I sold my Clearview.

    Wind Noise

    What style of helmet are you wearing? Full face, open face, 3/4, 1/2, beanie? I wear an open face helmet. I just recently went from a Clearview XXL to a Yammie shorty. I also put a 5 snap shield on my helmet. No more buffeting from the Clearview and no wind noise through the 5 snap shield.

    Ive got a cheetah tank at my house if you wanna drive to Amarillo. Another trick is to set the tire on a 5 gallon bucket, that'll seat the bottom bead, then use the ratchet strap to draw the top bead up.

    Sounds like you've got a miss under a load. Check spark plugs, check spark plugs wires for burn spots or rubbing, try to test your coils.

    Any auto parts place will have one. Harbor freight, autozone, advance auto, napa, ebay... http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=a3n&um=1&sa=1&q=telescoping+mirror&btnG=Search+images&aq=f&oq=

    Damn, I have a complete charging setup for a Roadstar that I'm sure would have worked for parts and pieces.

    I had 1 leak down after it was installed and my buddy Bill in DFW actually had one some out of the tire. I plugged the BFG on the RSV and it held AOK for over 10,000 miles with the $5 kit from ChinaMart. I have no problems using a plug, but it's not a proper repair. Im running on a patched front tire right now as well that was given to me by another forum member. I installed a patch/plug from the inside myself. I don't trust others to work on my bike. http://www.tirestrings.com/Patch%20Plug.gif

    I was there in my underwear playing with my snake.

    Changing from the Clearview XXL to the Yammie shortie netted me 4mpg.

    Looks like batteries for Chinese imported ATV's and scooters.

    No argument from me here. A plug/patch is the best solution. http://www.timgilles.com/photogallery/13.60aplugpatchcombo.jpg

    The only things that have changed between 99 and 09 are the colors, seats, and 09 comes with a factory CD changer.

    pull the screw out and if it leaks, plug the tire. It'd be better if you can get it patched from the inside though. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41xjVQvErTL._SL500_AA280_.jpg
