My 07 behaves the same. I start it when it is around 40-50 degrees with a full choke. I run it for about 15-30 seconds and push it in to about half way. After about a 1-2 minutes I push it in about another quarter of the way and then take off. I leave it at that setting for about 15-20 minutes then push it in all the way in and it runs. To me it did not seem odd since my 2006 800 Drifter behaves the same way. I have around 300 miles on my RSV also. Maybe they are just not broken in enough yet. I will mention this to my dealer when I bring it in for the 600 mile checkup. Maybe the idle is not set high enough. Or the carbs are not sync'd. Or it just could be the way it will behaves. And since I do not have any chirping the bike is a keeper. Classicride 2006 800 Drifter 2007 RSV blu/blk

Try RoadBike magazine they are only Metric. Their web site seems to be down today. I also like Motorcycle cruiser magazine.

I looked up West Marine and Kiefer swim supply's in Zion, Il. West Marine sells something called "De Fog" and Kiefer sells "Goggle Bright" other alternatives to Sea Quick if you can not find it.

Hi Jerry Thanks for the reply. In the summer of 2001 when I had a Kawasaki Voyager I stopped at the ice cream shop on the corner of 47 & 173. And while on my way around the picnic table I stepped in worst smelling dog s**t ever and I had no way of getting it off of my waffled sole motorcycle boots . Got some on the pegs, etc. My wife reminds me of this story every time we pass thru Hebron. I use to work in Harvard at the Motorola plant. I went by Hebron every day on my Voyager. Small world. CYA on the road

With the info on this site you all helped me make a decision to buy the Blu/Blk 2007 RSV. I had to go to 3 dealers to find one. I bought it a week ago Saturday and road it home in the rain last Saturday. Just 10 miles on her now but come spring many more will add up. I traded in two Vulcan 1500 Classic Fi's and a SilverWing. But kept my Drifter. Since my wife can not ride anymore it did not make sense having four bikes anymore, two were hers. And I wanted to take advantage of the dealer having a year end low price. I loved the color. I will have many questions as time passes and also pictures once the weather warms up here in northern IL. I have question? I have noticed other Venture sites are they just a well informed and friendly? And if so are any worth joining also? Thanks Again Classicride From Zion, IL

Hi I am Classicride a new member that joined about a week ago. I am a proud owner of a Blu/Blk 2007 RSV with 10 miles on the Odo. I solved the Windows virus issue by running Ubuntu Linux instead of Windows. I had just one to many viruses and the cash I had to hand over to Norton. Classicride
