    I searched for this and have not found any answers to this, I would like to change my handle bars to ape hangers and would like to do myself but would like as much info in what to look into, like handle bars sizes how does that work because of the fairing we have, how would i know what size cable i would need for the throttle and for the brakes and clutch, also how and where do i change the clutch hose is that a diffical job. I never changed my handle myself so i would like to make sure i dont miss anything. I would also like to ask if anyone has seen any risers that have a 6" pull back but with no rise at all so i can just use the stock bars. ok thank for all your help and hope to hear from you all soon.

    I got the FJR 1300, I like the way it looks but the RSV old school look is more my still. but the funny part is what it said about me that I plan my Vacation with riding and dam that the truth, if i cant take my bike or if i can rent a bike i dont want to go there. lol my wife said the same thing how it hit that in the head. :thumbsup:

    since we can add a CD changer into out RSV and I assume we then can use our master controller to inter act with it can you hook up our Ipod to do the same with a special wire to the audio controller? I hope this makes sence to you all and some one can answer this question Ill continue looking into the search to see if anyone has asked this question before but so far I haven't come across it. Thank you for everyones patience. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

    which one is better im looking at both and noticed that the only Diffrence is size but wieght capacity is about the same, now I have found throught cyclegiant.com a rack that should fit both GW or the RSV pic quality not the greatest but the price is pretty good for only 73 bucks, for the rack OME through yamaha I can get it for 100 buck give and tack. Now my question for those that have seen both or even had both is, which one in quality is a better product? :bang head:

    I also know of a friend that doesn't go to the HD dealer that he bought his bike, and for everyone to say its only metric or HD i'm tiered of hearing this we all love to ride,a bike is a bike we all are on 2 wheels so to me it doesn't matter what company you love but how lucky you are with the dealer you go to. From HD to Yamaha,Honda,Suzuki or Kawy it doesn't matter all we can do is find the dealer that has good service and mechanics that know what there doing so to all Good Luck Ride Hard and Be Safe. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
  11. jprider4life
    that will be cool ill get one. :thumbsup:
  12. jprider4life
    where did you get that do they make one for the 2nd generation.:thumbsup::thumbsup:
  13. jprider4life
    I hear alot of angry people out there and I can say I'm one of the, Now someone said that as soon as the bike is paid off there going to trade it well my bike is paid off in full I may just pull the tricker and during the off season I may go HD and do what you just said. But the problem is how much do you thing the dealers will give you for this bike with that sound on it or do you think they will even take the trade, I'm just asking because how embarrassing will it be if you go and do to the sound they say that the bike is not worth the trade, so now I ask you all what do I do now, all I can say is we have alot of members in this site and we also have alot of friends that have or are looking to get a Bike and if Yamaha just for some reason or another finds out that let say how they treat there customers how would they like that. Better yet there a show here in Jersey called shame on you I just may have to call them but the main problem is that I dont think my bike is loud enough and I'm the only person that I know that has this bike here in New Jersey, Don't get me wrong I seen others around but I don't know anyone. Ok sorry but we need to get together and try something we have to understand we hold to much power and influance to not do something. Let me know what you all think. This can't go on. :bang head::bang head::bang head::bang head:

    I cant believe my ears, looks like that I may just have to ridoff my bike, I will be telling the dealer how I feel and I will be sending a litter to a Yamaha Headquaters, but most of all I trusted my friend that works at the dealer and when I asked him if there was anything wrong with this bike he told me no. Now the other day when I told him about the chirp he said the samething its the nature of the beast, well that didnt seat well with me and he knows that so what is going to happen between hem and I only time will tell, i feel like he just wainted to make a sale and not care for me as a friend and i beleive he should of let me know about that issue, man I'm realy mad. Ill tell you all that I'm done with Yamaha and I might just get rideoff this bike love the look the ride and everything else but the noise is to much to take, and let me tell you this that I dont think my noise is even that loud but I can hear it like its in side my ear. I can go on all day but it wont help so i wont, Im going for a ride right now hope I wont get mad and just ride the bike into a wall wish me luck, and to make matters worse I ride with 2 buddies with HD.:bang head::bang head:
  15. jprider4life
    to be fully honest I would even pay a reasonable of curse amont of money just to get ridoff this noise even if yamaha said we will cover labor and we have to cover for new part of curse the money issue will have a big part also to under 1000 would be worth it maybe more thats how much i love the bike. THIS NOISE IS DRIVING ME CRAZY :bang head::bang head:

    looks like MCBrush is thinking like i am lets do it then
  17. jprider4life
    so let me ask this if most of you think thats is not worth to let yamaha know how we all feel like if some write a professional letter and we all than print it out we than overwhelm the headquarters they may just maybe hear all of us, will this be worth a shot what do all of you think? I haven't tried to post up a pole but ill try, but if anyone can do it faster and lets see what evryone out thinks of this.:bang head::bang head:
  18. jprider4life
    what we need to do is go after Yamaha, we all need to join together to get intouch with some one and make sure they understand the problem, I will be talking to my lawyer to find out what rights do I have on this, Ill let everyone know what he says, but in the mean time if anyone can start a petition and we all sign it and send it out. I dont know but to me I love the bike but the noise is making think of saleing my bike. so what does everyone think about attacking Yamaha about this?:bang head::bang head::bang head:

    Hello can anyone let me know if I can use this lift on my 06 RSV, when I tried to use it I noticed that under my bike the motor sticks down ward more than the frame its self and I’m afraid that the lift can damage something under there. So if anyone has any info on this situation on what I can get or do I will be grateful to you. Thank you.:bang head::bang head:

    why not the turn by turn I'm also looking to use the unit in my car.
  22. jprider4life
    its between the Garmin streetpolit c530 or c330 or the Magellan 3050T or 6000T
  23. jprider4life
    Ok I may come across a great deal and need some info,I been looking into getting a GPS and been looking for a good unit that will work good in my car and on my bike and the price for these units are more than I want to spend, the only one that has a good price is the Garmin quest at under 350$ but the features are old and to compare what the better ones have I feel like I'm getting cheated. So I have a friend that has a newer style unit that usually goes for about 600$ and he will give it to me for about 300$ but when I look into this unit theres no info on how it will handle the vibration on beening on a motorcycle. so my question to all is does anyone have ever or still doeas use a GPS unit on there bike thats not built for that and did you have a Problem doing so. Thank you for your help and sorry for the long letter.
