No, I wish. But I got it! I removed the fairing and cleaned and reseated the plug. Works great.

I haven't removed the fairing yet but just had a couple of questions, I don't have the "ball end 6mm wrench" but I do have a 6mm hex allen wrench. I may buy one before I attempt this...The other is, do I disconnect the cables where they plug into each other or just spray the connections? I've had the front fairing off on another bike (without the light bar) so I'm familiar with the inside. Thanks for the pointers! I'll post how it turns out. I do believe that's where the trouble is, the light is flickering on the radio...

Does anyone have or know where I can purchase a radio control (mounts to left handelbar)? This controls AM/FM/CB/Cass. Bike Bandit has it listed as a Remote Control 1 (part #43) for $686. Thanks in advance!

I just bought an '09 RSV from an individual and it has problems with the radio controls. It won't change channels and the buttons stick. I sprayed WD-40 on them and it helped some but still unresponsive when changing channels. I hate to take it to a dealer but I don't think I'll be able to change it out! Has anyone had a similar problem?

Try turning down the IC volume. I have an '07 RSMV and I've heard the same noise. I don't use the IC because my wife doesn't ride but some how the volume got turned up and I heard the ticking noise. I do use a headset for radio & cb. Hope this helps.

I "coasted" into the station because I was OUT OF GAS.....I had filled up (to the top of the tank) and stayed under 65 mph. After I hit reserve, I rode another 30 miles and it started sputtering. I put the choke on a few times to get to the pumps. Then I could only put in 4.5 gallons -- I filled it all the way to the top again. And I know the OM says to only fill to the top of the neck but I go all the way up. All I wanted to know is if anyone else has had this problem and if there was a "fix". I do have a 6 gal tank and can only use 4.5 gallons.................

I'm new to this site but been ridding a RSV for 3 yrs and have 52k miles on it. My question is, with a 6 gal tank why won't it use at least 5.5 before I have to fill up? I coasted into a station (after going on reserve) and it only held 4.5 gal. The most I've gotten out of a tank is 170 miles. I average between 40-46 MPG so I should get 220-250 miles to a tank. I was on a trip with a couple of gold wingers last year and they could go 200 easy & I had to stop at 130-150 (doing 75-80 on hwy) ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRICIATED!! pete_t@bellsouth.net
