Reading this thread gives me the feeling I should stay with the stock setup.

Cool. If they become available, I'll take one.

Then what's the air fitting for? I've been going over this new to me 06 RSV and noticed the air fittings for the rear and front shocks, but saw no mention of it in the owners manual.

The little "M" on the right side of the display typically means Mega- ohms, a "K" would mean Kilo-ohms, and no symbol would be simple Ohms. That appears to be an auto ranging meter. Even looks to be True RMS.

I'm a little surprised that that meter would read mega-ohms. If it does, a 3.4 million ohm reading may well be the resistance through the insulation to ground. Better than I'd expect on a 12 volt system. When I test 460 v motors, 5 million ohms is a barely acceptable minimum to ground. I think a reading of 3.4 M is, in this application, for all intents and purposes an open circuit. I'm just sayin'

Hey....in the movie Wild Hogs, John Travolta cut the gas lines on all the bikes and it had the same effect.

I've never met ya, but the folks around here sure seem to like ya, so you must be a great gal.... Wishing you a Happy Birthday !!!

Hey....I have that same saw. Love it. Maybe I better go out to the equipment shed and make sure it's still there. lol

The important question is ...What's the Horsepower to weight ratio of the first gen / second gen....

Wow, there's a lot of great info there. Thanks:cool10:

I have a blue, 87 standard. I think the blue ones are the fastest. Yeah, there's a bit of heat noticeable when you're sitting in traffic on a 90+ degree day, but it's never been an issue for me. One thing I did is block the side vents, which were designed to allow heat for the rider on cold days. I don't ride much (at all) on cold days, so blocking the vents isn't a problem for me, and pretty much eliminated the hot air that can leak through the louvers, even when closed. In my humble opinion, the Venture is far superior to a Goldwing of that vintage. The Goldwing is probably the smoothest bike I've ever personally ridden, but I remember feeling that it's kinda like a big scooter. The Venture is a better motorcycling experience. The superior performance doesn't hurt either, and if ya ask me, the Venture is a much better looking bike. Looks like a bit of a rake to the front end, which is pretty cool. The Yamaha Venture is the best kept secret of the Touring Bike World. That's my $0.02.

Whatcha switchen?

I must be slow.......I don't get it? Did I miss something???

When ya get down into the Keys, watch your speed. There's places on US1 that get down to 35mph, and they'll be watchin'.

Wow ! I've always wanted a Max. She's a beauty......I'm jealous.

Change is often difficult, but can be a wonderful thing. I'm sure you had a good reason to make this change, and, given a little time your new place will be "Home", and the old place will be a fond memory.

I ordered a set of oversized mirrors on Dennis Kirk on Tuesday afternoon, and they were delivered this afternoon. Now that was a quick turnaround.

There's 30 seconds of my life I'll never get back.

How kind. The thing is that I'm not really sure what I need. I've never used one before. I saw a thread a month or so ago that showed a link to Ram mounts, and they seemed pretty cool. The side grippers were adjustable to fit around any buttons on the phone. I was hoping that someone more knowledgeable could tell me what works best for them, and I'd just do the same. I'm looking to mount my Razor Max, I'd think on the left handlebar, where I can see it and manipulate it well enough to use the gps and the music capabilities of the phone.

I'm looking to order a Ram mount for my Motorola Razor Max HD. I'm planning on using it as a gps and for music as well. I went to the website to order, but one of the questions is for arm length. Any opinions? I'll be using it on my 06 Black Cherry.

Wow That boy's got skills.

Just ordered a set for my 06 Black Cherry. Thanks for the info.

I like the sound of it. Makes for a great excuse to get an organized ride together.

That's a great lookin' Venture for a great price! I forwarded him a link to this thread, so I'm sure he'll see it. Thanks:cool10:

It didn't take long for this to get off topic....... Although it does remind me of Dolly Parton watch I once had..... It didn't keep very good time, but it sure was fun to wind...
