Hi Earl, are you still offering the clutch upgrade? Does this help the whine? Thanks

I put new plugs in the bike a few days ago, changed to oil yesterday. Just received new air filters and will put them in this weekend. Front brake pads should come in tomorrow. Getting the new to me 2008 RSV all serviced and read for a road trip.

Topped the tank off when I bought it, 3 gallons premium, that tank I got 30 mpg Filled up with premium I changed the plugs and the next day bought Gumout and put the entire can in the tank and topped off with regular. 2.5 gallons at about 32 mph. Got off work one hour early today, 84 miles on this tank and the gas gage is slightly under 3/4 full. It will be interesting to see what this tank does. Bike is like different animal. Lots of power and runs great on the interstate. I am running higher rpms also. So I should use regular gas and how often do the spark plugs need to be changed? Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions. Bike is running alot better with new plugs. Will try some Gumout also and see if that helps and run the rpm's up more. Going to do the full service on it over the winter and check everything out. replace all fluids and filters.

I rode the bike into work today on the interstate (12 miles). The bike is running so much better with the new plugs. The rear right pipe was smoking some, I guess it had not bot bet hot for a while. Will get some Gumout at lunch today and put in the tank. Thanks for the suggestion.

I just purchased for my second bike a 2007 Royal Star Venture with 14 K miles. It looks brand new, keep in a garage its entire life and appears to be in great condition, except Poor MPG. The first time I took the bike out on a long ride, out on the interstate the bike felt like it had no power. I filled the tank up during the interstate run. Got out on some country roads and when I revved the bike up, it had great power. I had to fill up at the end of the ride with only 105 miles on the tank. 30 mpg. Started reading some post about the plugs not getting enough power. Took my digital temperature reader and started the bike, in two minutes left rear was about 320, right rear and fronts were about 120. Ordered new plug. The front plus are a pain to change. After the change, both rear cylinders were reading 320, front is still 120. Going to try some gas treatment. The bike does not run rough, it starts right up, no issues. Any suggestions? I have read where you can check and clean the start plug caps but I cant tell how to get in there to try that. Thanks

On your headlight, did you replace the entire light or just the bulb? I have been wanting to up grade mine. Thanks
