    Flushing it means basically replacing the oil clutch fluid with new. The way most do it is like you are bleeding the clutch lines. You just open the bleeder and squeeze the clutch lever and force the old out. You don't let the reservoir get too low because you don't want to get air into the system. Just pump out the old and keep adding new to the reservoir until you see fresh new fluid coming out of the bleeder.

    Do you mean to listen to music or talk? Listening to music would be easy. Just a 1/8" stereo patch cord from the Aux jack on the bike to the headphone jack of the phone. If you are talking about using the phone through your headset, it is probably possible but would require some type of adapter.

    I use the DOT 4 synthetic and I know from watching people change the fluid at maintenance day that a of others do also. It works fine.

    I corrected it for you. It was right on the calendar.

    Very interesting. I wonder if they will be able to bring the price down.

    Hey, please report back and let us know if the trap door works for removing the wheels on the RSV.

    Yea, I saw that and just found it again but like I said, it is WAY more than I could spend on a lift. They have a model that is cheaper and looks great too but it doesn't have the panel that drops in the front. I think that is a great feature.

    Since it works sometimes, I doubt the bulb is bad. I know that it gets it's ground from a contact on the neutral switch. I would probably start there.

    Now HERE is one with the features that I like. At over $2,000.00 PLUS the from wheel chock, it is way more that I would spend but it has the front and rear drop panels that I think would be very useful.

    I've got to do some measuring now before I make any kind of decision. I want it long enough so that I can remove the rear plate and the wheel will drop through it. It was reported earlier in this thread that the Harbor Freight lift is too short for that to work with the RSV. What would be even better would be one where the front hinges down or has a removable plate so that you could pull the front wheel also. I realize it would require tie downs to hold it as the front clamp would be useless but I can see where it could easily be done.

    I agree that it is POSSIBLE for the picture to have been taken elsewhere but from seeing many of those scams, that is usually a good first clue.

    ohhhh.........tricky tricky tricky....
  13. Freebird
    That would be a deal killer for me. I guess I need to do some measuring first.

    The first link didn't work. You were probably logged in at Ebay when you copied it. The links don't work if you are logged in.

    I needed some a few years ago and ended up ordering them new. Never did find anybody that had any. Actually, I don't know if I even looked for used.

    HA....Bongobob said: *Where did Mike ever mention it had anything to do with a 2nd gen?????* THEN he thought that he could delete his post and not get made fun of for missing it. NO WAY my friend. You already SAID it. Post 24 of this thread. "Exclusive fit for 1st gens only. BUT......it will involve 2nd gens."

    I just checked Jake Wilson. The rears are $30.99 and the fronts are $33.99 per pair.
  20. Freebird
    I think that most here use and recommend the EBC HH pads. Maybe somebody else will suggest the cheapest place to buy them. I haven't look for a while. You might want to click on the Jake Wilson banner at the top right of the page. Just refresh the page a few times and it will come up. I haven't looked but their prices are typically real competitive.

    Hey...it wouldn't be the first time. I've actually deleted my OWN posts before.
  22. Freebird
    Well, to be serious...ONLY FOR A SECOND...it sounds like something that allows you to use some accessory or part from a second gen on a first gen.
  23. Freebird
    All the reports that I have seen applied only to the first gen. Of course, as the RSV ages, it would be a good idea to check it from time to time also. Mine is a '99 which would make it 12 years old now so I sure think when they start getting that old, things like that should be looked at.
  24. Freebird
    Thanks. I think I'll stop by a store today and look through some of the magazines and see if I can find it.
  25. Freebird
    I saw that one and it is interesting. I think that I would just feel better with mine on a table instead of hanging. That one sure would work better for changing both tires at the same time though.
