Totally agree, the crest hit a year or so ago and now the decline has begun and will likely continue for the next few years. Kinda like the tatoo fad I suspect Lol...

We use white helmets for travelling, much cooler than any of the darker colors.

Nice rack, I've travelled many thousands of miles with mine and have had no issues at all. It does make the bike feel a little less stable at parking lot speed, but you don't know its there once your speed is up a bit. Nice Job!

Exactaly correct, its an extra step but an important one.

Billy Mays would be impressed.

Thats what we do.

Exactly, I've used mine for a few years and found that about every once in awhile they have to be dissabled and cleaned (very easy to do). They seem to get a black residue on the metal rods that causes them to stick a bit. Once cleaned they operate perfectly. Be careful to put the rods back into the tube they came from, I clean and replace them one at a time to be sure.

Exactly! The mechanical sync of the carbs set at lower RPM should continue to be sync'd through the throttle arc. You would need to put the bike on a dyno under load to "safely" check for accurate sync for anything more than slightly above idle sync.

I put a narrow slice of inner tube around the inside of my brackets, more to protect the chrome than prevent turning, but they do seem to be very stable and I've had no issues with them spinning when I put pressure on them. Good luck with that.

Ausome video! I forwarded it to my kids. Amazing!

It is kinda ugly but at the same time very impressive. Congratulations on your purchase, whats with the gigantic license plate thingy at the back, kinda looks like the snow flap off a snowmachine?? I'm sooo jealous.

I don't own a Zumo but my Street Pilot 3 will lock-up occasionally if I've loaded the maps at "high" detail. If I load the maps at "medium" detail, I get no lock-ups. Must be some kind of memory issue. When it locks, I hold down the power button until it shuts down then a restart and its fine again for a while.

I've had my passenger headset squeal a couple of times on me, both times though, the connection was wet due to rain. Its never happened to me when my connections were dry.

Set the Float Levels on QuickSilver
RPG replied to V7Goose's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Come on Squeeze, don't jump on the poor Canadian just because he doesn't agree with you EH!!! Gossey did a nice article on setting float levels, I'm printing it off and keeping it for reference purposes. I just don't think people should be led to believe or encouraged to delve into a job as involved as that in search of just better gas mileage, thats all. They are more than likely just going to create more problems than they solve. Thats just my opinion though. -

I agree with your first two sentences, the over flow is set for emergencys like a stuck needle valve and I certainly agree that its important to have the float level set correctly in order to prevent fuel starvation or fuel loss through the overflow. Sorry though, your last paragraph is just just nonsense.
