    They say that RainX is ok on the Clearview shield. It doesn't have the coating like the stock Lexan shields.

    Mine has been changed once.

    100%...and to be honest...I was really surprised.

    The auto resizing works ok but seems to work best if the picture is a .jpg As for Brads question, to insert a picture within your message, yes, it has to be uploaded somewhere on the internet, not on your computer. You can attach a picture on your computer by using the "Manage Attachments" button and that will add it to the bottom of your post with a thumbnail that you click on to see the larger size. Don

    There is no reason for the acorn nuts to have been removed if all they did was change the tire. The lack of grease is a common problem so it may well have been removed to grease. I would recommend checking it for grease the next time you pull the rear wheel for a tire change or whatever but for now, if you have a lift, I would just put it on the lift and follow the tightening instructions as outlined above.

    LOL....I do believe you are right. Oh well....Will Rogers was also a good guy

    WARNING WILL ROGERS!!!! WARNING WILL ROGERS!!!! OIL THREAD!!! Mobil 1 Motorcycle Specific MX4T I've been using it since 1999 and have always been very pleased with it.

    This is for the 1999 model Royal Star Venture but should be ok for 1999-2007 models. Parts Diagrams

    I agree with Dan agreeing with Squid.... or something like that. I run 87 octane and have never had a problem of any kind.

    I'm sorry that it happened Cougar but I think it's good news for us in general. I would hate to find out that there are problems with these radiators.

    I wouldn't worry about them. They are a poly type speaker and a little moisture doesn't seem to hurt them. I've never covered mine at any time. When I wash the bike, I don't spray water directly into them but otherwise, I don't give them any thought at all.

    The only time I've seen it hard to find neutral was when the oil was getting old. I honestly think that synthetic oil helps a lot. I've run Mobil 1 in my '99 since the second oil change and it's always been easy to find neutral and shifts very well.

    I've taken the basic course and the advance riders course and highly recommend them for everybody, regardless of how long you have been riding. My good friend Rick Butler put it to me the best way I can tell it...I asked him if it was worth taking the advanced course and he told me only if you consider the fact that it could save your life. That is strong enough for me. As for making them mandatory? I'm not a big fan of government mandating things but I do think that it should be mandatory for any rider under the age of 18. In most states..maybe all states...driver's education is mandatory for anybody under the age of 18 getting a driver's license. The same should apply for the motorcycle courses for any rider under the same age.

    Yes...same caps.

    You still have the large hoses connected to the ports on the heads but due to the way they are designed, any condensation would run down and not up and into the heads. I have removed my entire system but that is on my '99 and I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anybody whose bike is still under warranty. Don

    They are connected to the diaphragm side of the AIS valves that you plugged. They cause the valves to open and close.

    They no longer do anything. You can just let them hang. Tape up the ends if you would like to...keeps them from getting any trash in them if you ever want to hook them back up.

    I've seen this happen several times. I've found that a nylon tie will keep the wires out of that area.

    Congrats on your new bike. I hope you love it as most as much of us here do. As for your question, that is perfectly normal. Mine feels HOT to the touch after putting some miles on it. So...just ride and enjoy.

    Sure sounds like the antenna may be grounded. Are you SURE there are no frayed wires in the connector that you installed or that you don't have it grounded on the mount?

    MamaMo's is better. That Betty Boop is HOT HOT HOT.

    There are several ways. Here are a couple. Click on the VR Assistance link in the left menu. It sorts the memberslist by state and only shows those who have signed up for the assistance. Click on the "Members List" link in the upper menu bar and scroll down to the state or province that you want to check. It returns ALL the members in that area. Don

    Yes..I have done it with success. I should add...I did it on an XM radio but I wouldn't think there would be any difference.
  24. Freebird
    I have cut and spliced them but it's not that easy.

    A momentary push of the PTT button, front or rear, turns the mics on. You can then use the CB as usual until you do another momentary push to turn them off again. It really is a nice system.
