just found a three inch long nail in my almost new rear Avon Venon. i pulled it and plugged it. what are your thoughts on plugging tires? the nail when in straight and on the 'leaning' portion of the tire.

"She quit talking to me "............ usually a dozen roses, a nice meal with expensive wine and a sincere apology does it for me

went to wallyworld and bought some beads..... for those who have done the same can you tell me the best way to reshape them to fit the seat (07 RSTD)...i.e. how and where to cut the nylon line(s). i suspect some re-tying of the nylon is called for ?!

i think this picture should clear up " fishing on a bike"........

thanks ksquid but if it poses no risk to the engine then i'm not going to mess with it.

Here's What Happens When You Can't Ride For A While!
naturbar replied to skydoc_17's topic in Watering Hole
very subtle and understated....i like it !!! -
thanks guys, that's why i defer to you all with more knowledge. and now i am breathing a sigh of relief that there is not a problem with my bike !!

the wife and i took a ride from just south of Greensboro NC up north to the blue ridge pkwy. in Va. ending back at Fancy Gap NC. during a hard second gear acceleration i was watch the speedo to shift before i hit the rev limiter and i noticed the oil light flash on and off. i know this is not normal and i have not seen it do that before. i can't remember if i was on an incline, decline or level ground when it did this. i can somewhat reconcile it flashing on if i was either on an incline or decline as the oil could move away from the oil pickup. i ran it hard again in second gear (level ground) and had no issue. any thoughts??

Uncomfortable with heal toe shifter
naturbar replied to ToyOdie's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
i rode my RSTD for a year befor ei even tried the heel shifter...at first i did not like it and also found it seems high to lift heel to reach but after time i will not go back to just the toe shifter----i say give it a little time. -
i am looking for a fairly inexpensive (waterproof) tent which is lightweight and small in the packed dimension.... need your suggestions !

beautiful car ! but are you sure about your hp figure (640 hp)? the ZR1 supercharged ls9 - 6.2 liter has 638 hp and the Z06 - 7.0 liter is rated @ 505 hp. at least that is the published specs for those car?!

Avons Venom X whats the difference between these 2
naturbar replied to E-Fishin-C's topic in Watering Hole
just put on my second Venom X AM42 150/90HB15 last week, mine has 50lbs. max rating. bought it from SW Moto ($142 w/no ship charge) - they are a good place to deal with and give great customer service. -
Stalled and sweaty, why?
naturbar replied to Dave77459's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
"Weirdly, I tested the old fuel pump and it seems to work. I mean I hooked it directly to the battery, and it ran and ran. Odd." quite possibly it ran well off the bike because it was not under a load ??? just a thought... -

gentlemen, my son & i took it all apart again this morning and followed Ruffy's instructions (spot on) - it definitely is a two man job to get that u-joint lined up with the drive shaft. was real happy to pull boot back and see the u-joint turn but i still could not get it into gear -mmmmmm? put the rear tire on to the pumpkin and spun it several time and viola it would now go into gear , yeeeeeh ! took it for a test ride and it is smooth. once again to all who posted, i thank you ! buz
-
Gary thank you very much for the pdf - it helped greatly. i got a call from Ruffy a little while ago and he explained that there was a u-joint that the drive shaft couples to (i did not know this). when i read the instruction on reassembling the drive shaft i apparently misunderstood what was said. i thought the you were supposed to use a piece of wire, antenna or something else to hold up the drive shaft as it was sliding in - when in actuality you are supposed to support the u-joint in order for the shaft to fit in. once Ruffy told me about the u-joint the proverbial light bulb turned on. i now realize i must undo everything and do it right. Gary also asked me if i had removed the axle from the pumpkin and i told him i had not, he said it would be difficult in his opinion to try to hold up pumpkin w/ axle attached and hold up the u-joint and align them both - he suggested for me to remove the shaft completely (watching for the spring). has anyone done the reinstall w/ the pumpkin attached and if so was it really hard to make it work that way. thanks to all you guys and where else can a fella get this kind of support for $12 a year. anyone out there that is a trial member, pay the $12 and belong to the greatest yamaha site. you guys rock... ps - a shout out to Condor for sending me info on the service manual.
-
i found this site for the service manual but every time i tried to download it , it just goes to 3.14 mb and freezes. i just wanted to 'see' the shaft nomenclature to get a better understanding...does anyone have another site where i can get the serv. manual? here is site which locks up..http://labs.trunkful.com/vrmanuals/index.cfm and thanks guys for the inputs - tomorrow i will look to see it u-joint is turning.
