I used to put new plugs in my '83 and '86 every year, but I haven't changed the plugs in my '06 RSV since 2019.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2730016183875736/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks I found this on the FB Marketplace in Memphis. It might be a solid investment for a parts bike for someone in the near vicinity. If I had room to store it I'd be taking it home with me.

Hate to be "that guy" but, I have never shut off the petcock on my '06 RSV and never had a problem with fuel smell or hydro lock. Maybe just lucky? (maybe just stupid 🤪).

Has anyone here installed the Govee permanent out door LED puck lights on their home? I see a multitude of "Reviews" on youtube and some installation tips, but I 'd like to get some first hand perspective before I install them. I've wanted to do something like this since we moved into the "new" (built in 1880) house. The price tag was a bit above my comfort zone. Then I found three sets of the Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 for the price of one set at an unclaimed freight type store, so I snagged them up. I just need to get the eaves scraped and painted before tackling the lights installation. Like I said, any insights?

Looks like a double post. I responded to the other one.

The easiest place to start is looking for vacuum leaks in the intake circuits and inspecting/cleaning the ignition wire connections. Have the carbs ever been synchronized?

Pretty sure the RSV plastics are interchangeable year to year. Not so for the Gen 1 MK1 and MK2. I could be wrong but someone here will correct me if I am.

I also have the WS Mk2(and Mk1) without the tool sharpening kit. It does do a great job quickly on most edges. I like it very much, but the ProPrecAdust is just head and shoulders above it for a hair splitting edge. The MK2 is probably the better choice for longer blades, but for pocket knives and shorter fixed blades, the ProPrecAdjust is quick and easy.

Hi, my name is Rich and I am a knife addict. And a motorcycle addict. And a coffee addict. And a micro brew addict. OK, lets just say I have an addictive personality. While I am, undeniably addicted to all of the above, my downfall is that I cannot afford to fuel all of those addictions as I would like to. I have always wanted a Wicked Edge sharpening system (as well as a Yamaha R1, a Slayer V3 espresso machine, and a lifetime supply of Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA). But that was way out of my price range. Then Work Sharp came out with the Precision Adjust sharpening system at $120.00ish, which is like a Lansky +. I held out on it because it got some mixed reviews. Then they brought out the Professional Precision Adjust system, which is the Precision Adjust on steroids. At $250.00+/-, it was still above my spending limit. I just found one, open box but unused at a "bin" store in Memphis for $80.00. After sharpening all of my working knives with it, I'd have to say it's probably worth the $250.00 price tag. Or close to it any way. YMMV

RR, please take notes and pics of the process. I have a center stand to install on my '06 and have been putting it off 'cause I'm not sure what all is involved.

Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer is a 100% petroleum additive and contains no detergents(which are what muck up our clutches). I have used Lucas Heavy Duty many times in my '83 and '86, though I have not used any in my '06 to date. It was recommended to me by a long time RSTD owner to smooth hard shifting.

I sold my '83 about 3 years ago. Sold the '86 last year. Now I'm down to the '06. The new house had no room for 3.

Quite nice!

Late again! Happy birthday!
