    I stay on the throttle and travel a little faster than normal so I don't feel the wind too much plus hold on the bars all the time.

    Merry Christmas to all Venture Rider members and readers. Be Safe.

    I also had a similar problem on my passing lamps over a year ago. It was a loose connection around the fuse. From what was described, the good news is that it is an easy fix provided you can find where that loose connection is. As suggested earlier, jiggle wire inside the fairing and you shall find the issue. :thumbsup:Good Luck.

    No problems on my '07 so far, but will keep an eye on the gauge if it starts to act up in the Near future.

    I highly recommend SpeedBleeders. For me, time goes by so fast and the next thing I know it is almost about time again to replace brake fluid.

    Wish you all the luck and hope you can resolve all the issues on your bike. I hope Yamaha can help you expedite the repairs and warranty coverage work. Keep in touch.

    Looks like she knew it was going to be a late night ride with the intent to stop by the car dealership. I think the problem was she never told you about it.

    My RSV also did this type of front noise. Lately, I've been using my front brakes a lot more than my rear and the sound seems to lessen over time. There are days that my front brakes will have no noise and there are days my front brakes will do its normal squeel. Still lots of pad left on both left and right / inner and outer.

    What are the possibilities of taking the Venture with you? 12 months without my ride is way too long.

    Same here. Just 3.5 qts and the oil just between the half and full line on the sight glass with the bike standing upright. FWIW, when draining the oil from its side stand, I always stand the bike upright while draining for about 5 minutes. This extra step is worth the 5 minutes. Have fun changing oil.

    I got a coupon booklet and Sale Adds from Advance auto in the mail. If I purchase about $25 bucks worth, I get $5 bucks off the purchase. I am headed down AA this pm.

    FWIW, I've never looked at my cold rpm and not measured. I set my warm rpm on the high side of the recommended idle.

    Earthquake

    I work in Maryland and I felt our building shake...luckily no structural damage here.

    I still have 500miles to go before my next oil change. 15W40 dino Rotella is good to me. Just Sayin....

    Same here, I keep my battery in the bike but if it sits longer than 7 days in the garage I will plug in the battery conditioner for a day or two then go for a ride. Winter riding for me is weather dependent. The original Yuasa is still doing great...I don't know, perhaps it also helps having a whole lot more LEDs instead of regular incandescent bulbs.

    If my battery is going to go weak and fail on me, it would be during the cold weather. Something in the back of my mind is telling me to replace the battery this winter. I do a good amount of cold weather riding, so a replacement is in the works. Nice to know Deke and Od. is not too far away...

    I'm still on my original battery with 25K plus miles on the bike. I figured this season may be the last season that I will keep my battery. Come late Fall early Winter, I am going to replace it with a Yuasa or perhaps one of those motorcycle batteries Advance Auto sells.

    Had to laugh!

    You know those crotch rocket seat are not the most comfortable of all seats. Sometimes we all have to stretch and assume the position.

    All the time I needed Ponch for any advise, he was always there for me. Great guy to talk to on the phone...this news is very sad. I pray that he is alright and recover fast from his injuries. Keep us updated here.

    Thanks for all the input. I am sold for semi metallics ... Shopping on ebay soon.
  22. N3FOL
    Are EBC's semi metallic? I also saw SEmi metallics online at a lesser price. IT is time for me to replace my rear pads. I need your best recommendation.

    Tires

    N3FOL replied to Whistler's topic in Watering Hole

    On my Brickstones, my 1st rear tire lasted me 12K. My 2nd brickstone rear tire still on the bike has about 14K and still has thread to it and good for another 2K miles. My 1st front Brickstone lasted for 18K until I decided it is time to replace...my 2nd front Brickstone still looks like new currently.

    New Tires

    N3FOL replied to Whistler's topic in Watering Hole

    I'm probably the only one that likes the stock Bridgestones on an RSV. I'm on my 2nd set currently and has clocked in over 25K miles. OEM brand tires works for me and they are priced right. I got a couple of rears for 92 bucks each shipped and a front for 88 bucks shipped. Make your choice and be happy with it. Ride Safe.

    After riding all day on a weekend headed home, I wanted to get gas at a specific location so I ended up extending my F counter up to 25 miles ....but I was really getting nervous and kept on looking on my dash instead of concentrating on the road. Being this low on gas, the F counter is a nice reminder but it is all guess work from there and beyond. Once the bike starts to sputter, you will end up on the side of the road. From now on, no more than 25 miles for me on the F counter. On a normal day, once the F counter appears...I fill up as soon as possible. . Ride Safe.
