Bad experience with a dealer in Jackson, TN
royalstarjac replied to mountainhorsega's topic in Watering Hole
Sorry you had a bad experience. However, this is a good reason to keep a good watch on your tires and get them changed before a trip. Than your not at the mercy of people you don't know.-Jack -

oil filter
royalstarjac replied to Sideoftheroad's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
If you over tighten these filters they are a B##ch to remove! I had to tear one completely apart, then use a chisel to get the remaining metal base to unscrew. Never again!-Jack -

It's a good idea to use anti sieze compound on the threads of anything threading into aluminum including spark plugs.-Jack -
front shimmy
royalstarjac replied to sportssonny1968's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Checked your steering head bearings lately? They might need tightening. Also, why are you running 7 psi in the front forks, that is the max recommended. Try running them around 2 psi and see if that helps. How much psi are you running in the rear shock? I usually run 20-25 in the rear and 2-3 in the front. -
Swing arm bearings?
royalstarjac replied to yamahamer's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
At 22k mi I just had the dealer repack the swing arm and steering head bearings. It was pricey but I now have peace of mind that they've been taken care of.-Jack -

Good price for new 2007?
royalstarjac replied to Bobcatpat's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I believe that is right at dealer cost. If your serious about the bike you might want to jump on it. JMO.-Jack -
Hey yall, I've added another bike to the stable. It's a new (to me) '87 Kawasaki Concours with 33k mi I picked up on Ebay. I got it to play in the twisties and commute to work on weekends when I don't ride in the van pool. I live 98 mi from my work. I've already racked up 22k mi on my 07 RSV. The Concours is a nice bike but it sure will make you appreciate the comfort of the RSV!-Jack

Yamaha recommends bias ply tires for the RSV. Personally I stick with their reccomendation.-Jack

Cool! Thanks for the heads up Larry! Our tax dollars at work.-Jack -
You may have to grind some of the weld on the header pipe flush to get the muffler to slide on all the way or cut a small notch in the muffler pipe to clear the raised weld.-Jack

Yes, it's good all the way to 2009 since nothing has changed.-Jack

This is a great deal on some auxillary lights. I just ordered a set for an 87 Concours I bought. You have to phone in your order, they are having problems with their web site. http://www.rallylights.com/Optilux/optilux_1500.asp
