Thanks. I’ll reach out to him.

I’m not sure if I’m in the same boat. The shop said I had a “slow air leak” in my rear shock for my 06 RSTD. Does it need a complete replacement with a mono shock like Hagon or is it something that can be rebuilt as well? I considered buying a new one but the prices are really inconsistent. I’ve seen that 2nd gen shock for sale on some Yamaha dealers websites ranging from 500 on the low end to 800 at the top.

Went to transfer the title today on my 06 RSTD and they wanted the engine code. I looked under the engine block, on the right side, and finally found a code stamped into the engine on the left side above the foot shifter. Stamped into the engine is “P603E-014771”. Is that the engine code?

Forward and backward. I was so frustrated trying to man handle them I never though to try it. Works great. Appreciate the help.

Hi everyone. Purchased an ‘06 RSTD and the previous owner quickly showed me how to remove the backrest. Of course I was so excited did I pay attention? Nope. I see there are a couple of clips on either side of the backrest but I’m not sure of the order of operations. Do I press them in and lift? Push them out? I’ve trolled the internet hoping to catch someone performing the removal. If someone could explain it to me in plain language or perhaps link a video I d greatly appreciate it!
