06 RSTD. Need to rebuild calipers.
Marcarl replied to Kinglicious's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Hopefully this will help https://www.yamahasportsplaza.com/oemparts/a/yam/500459bcf8700209bc793b4e/front-brake-caliper -
We have different riders for sure, but I have never seen anybody get upset over somebody leaving the group to ride their own ride. I come from away and going to where it's at.

My experience?: It's good for a couple or three days, some may have organized events or places to go to, others not so much, with VR it usually is not an expected thing to join in whatever may be planned, but it's enjoyable to participate. Mostly things are quite safe, except when Canucks show up, then the table is open.😁. In Oregon you should be fairly safe though. It's a great time to get to know other folks that you only have typing experience with, although there may even be some surprises. Nice thing is, there is always somebody else to talk to when the subject turns to matters of unexpected interest. Sometimes a communal meal is organized, sometimes not. These meals are also a good time and helps you to learn more about others, especially when they buy you too much beer. You can come and go as you please, come as late as you want or leave before you get there. Sometimes there are spontaneous rides or just a ride to get ice-cream. Occasionally there might be a mechanic available and if not there is at least one or two who think that #3 is good choice for messing things up. If it is anywhere near me,,,,,, I'm going.!! VR meets are GREAT!!

Help parts needed
Marcarl replied to Mason_ventorider's topic in Links to Classifieds, Craigslist, Ebay, Sales, Etc.
It might be helpful if you give more of an explanation and more pictures. I don't think any of us are very familiar with how that unit goes together. -
We all do things differently, that doesn't make you or me wrong, just not the same.

Now if it were my bike, in the fall after last ride, I would fill the tank, add stabilizer or SeaFoam, close everything up nice and drain the carbs, then see you in the spring. I'm thinking that by running it, even to the point you said, will only semi-warm up some of the internals or externals just enough to have moisture cling to or migrate to them, and that causes problems.

Some will say things about ethanol being a culprit, drying up and leaving residue, and that might well be the case. If it is then some carb cleaner in the fuel could clean that up for you. Lots of cleaner, little bit of fuel, so a rich mixture. I lean toward having some of those dried up rubber particles ending up in the carbs and to fix that would mean removal and cleaning. You would not be the first one to have that happen.

They leak because the o-ring gets old, so you will need a new o-ring. I believe they just pull out and the cover holds them in place, but somebody else will have a better insight into that.

Lots of us use them and very few if any adverse comments.

That's the kind of guy he is. He has a positive look to his future, knows where he is going to end up, and just faithfully does what is required of him to serve others as his Lord has instructed. Thanks to God for his presence.

seems you are missing out on all the snow fun

If what you mean is the mixture screw, it's not so hard as you might think. 2.5 turns out gets you in the right area. First you need to balance/sync the carbs, then set the mixture screws, back to sync the carbs and then re-set the mixture. For this you will need at least one vacuum gauge, but it's much easier to sync the carbs with a carb sync tool. For setting the sync all carbs need to be drawing the same amount of vacuum so that will ensure that they all are carrying an equal burden of weight when it comes to torque or HP. The idle mixture screws will and can adjust the fuel mixture that goes into each cylinder at idle, and once off of idle that idle circuit in the carb has less and less effect on the whole mixture situation. Fact is that once over 1500 rpm you wouldn't notice any difference in the running of the engine if you did adjust the mixture screws at that speed. Now if the idle circuit is set too lean you might find that response time from idle to running will be slow or it may hesitate, too rich and it may cough a bit to get going, but as long as you have it in the right area mostly you'll be quite happy. When setting the idle mixture with a vacuum gauge you will be looking for the highest possible vacuum at 900 rpm, not any faster or you will be into the running circuit and not much slower either or the vacuum won't be stable. For each carb the idle must be set back to or up to 900rpm. Hope this helps

That sure would, even if we got a camper tied on the back.

He lives in Woodstock, not Kitchener!!

Before going through the CDI routine take off the air boxes and while it running spray some carb cleaner or brake clean or even WD40 into the intakes. If you notice an improvement through this process then you have a fuel issue, not an ignition issue.

Pardon me for asking, but is this a new switch or a used one?
