    Yea, don't take it wrong. We tease a lot here but you are not being bashed for bringing up an old thread. You got the best suggestion when V7Goose told you to bring it by. He is VERY GOOD on these bikes and I'm sure can help you get it resolved. With the low miles, I would be surprised if it is the tire. If it was run at low pressure for those miles though, I supposed it could be. If you have any cupping though, you can usually feel it by running your palm gently around the outer edge of the tread. If there is no cupping and both front and rear tires are at the proper air pressure, I would still suspect that the head bearings are loose.

    Yes, get in touch with Hummingbird, he looked at it earlier this week. Looks like a heck of a deal if it's in OK shape.

    I don't know what you saw on Ebay but probably. I looked at the specs on the one posted and it has a 1/8" output jack. That means you can use a 1/8" patch cord from the output of your Sirius unit, Ipod, whatever and feed it right into that amp and then to your speakers. So if you see one on Ebay and it has the stereo jack, it should work just fine.

    There you go. Something like that is exactly what I had been trying to find. I knew somebody must make something to do what you wanted.

    geeezzzzz......get a room already. Seriously, congrats to you two. You are an amazing couple.

    I agree with Brad that you will need some type of amp. You would think that somebody would make something for just that purpose and they probably do but I did a Google search after seeing your post and didn't find anything.

    Yes, Carbon_one. Check the classifieds under Member Vendors. Larry does GREAT work.

    I agree with Brian....I think they don't know what they are talking about. I don't know of any kind of steering dampers that were added to ANY year model of the RSV. I can also say that my '99 is rock solid at any speed. If the front tire is cupped, that could certainly be the only issue.

    You folks are missing the part where he doesn't have a truck. He is going to pull it with a Tahoe.

    I promised it wasn't directed at anybody in particular. I just know how this discussion typically goes.

    Here is the POI file for Yamaha dealers. The first are the USA dealers and the second is Canada. Unfortunately, both are from 2007 so are very outdated. http://www.poi-factory.com/node/2941 http://www.poi-factory.com/node/2942

    I found a POI list of Yamaha dealers for my GPS. If you have a GPS, I will find and post the URL for it.

    I agree. Very nice indeed.

    I enjoy the pictures. Would like to see them posted in the rally thread here also. As for notifications, if you don't want to get them, all you have to do is go to that facebook page and turn them off.

    Go back and read the first post of this thread folks. It does NOT have to get negative. We are here to discuss things like this. Those considering a change to a car tire deserve to hear opinions from both sides. It is not necessarily geared towards changing anybodies mind. There are those that support car tires on a bike and there are those who don't. Their minds are pretty much made up. Those who are on the fence can benefit from both sides of the equation.

    I have actually never had a problem of any kind with USPS. I've shipped a lot of items all over the USA, Canada and some to other countries. Yes, I would like to see more tracking info but if it gets there in a reasonable amount of time, I can live with not having it. I have no problem with UPS or FedX either but will save the money when I can. The only shipper I ever had a problem with was DHL and i had multiple nightmares with them. I had read a couple of years ago that they were getting out of the USA market but I still see their trucks from time to time. I avoid them at all cost.

    It really tics me off that they will not respond and are still taking orders. Something is not right about that. I just went to their website and send them an inquiry about some liners for my RSV. Will see if they respond.
  18. Freebird
    Yes, that's what it did for me also.

    I don't typically use Chrome but am logged in with it now to test this issue. I guess if these smiley faces show up, it's working OK for me.

    Rick, I don't have a set of Diamond R's. I have a homemade set that I didn't make and know nothing about. They appear to be some type of galvanized steel. Not what you are looking for but you are welcome to them if you want them.
  21. Freebird
    Done. Thanks for the suggestion.
  22. Freebird
    I don't think it hurts anything. At the very least, maybe some new Venture riders will find our site through it.

    I'm not sure what you mean by MPH limit. I didn't know there was one. Unless you are talking about the cruise control and if so, no, I don't think it allows you to change that.

    The only way I know of is to replace the stock ignition module with a Dyna unit. That's what I did. Then you can raise it.
