    :thumbsup2: I have a 05rstd and the more I rie it the more I like it I have put on 50000kilometers. The whine seems to be a yamaha thing. I joined the club here and sure enjoy all the input, and the response is fast. Great bikes.

    Glad to hear everybody alright, and all the best in recovering. It would be interesting the year the tire came off the mould.

    More miles you put on the beter your mileage should get.

    On my 05 rstd once I learned my distance I leave it on reserve all the time , my mechanic where I bought the bike said, the more you draw from the reserve the less trouble you may have with carburater trouble down the road. I keep an eye on where my milage is when my first line disapears. So far I haven't run out of fuel or had any problems. We are in kilometers but at 180 miles you probably should know where the fuel station is, that's if you are trveling at 70 or 75 mph. That't on straight streches in the curvey's you can go along way's.

    I have the 880's on my 05 rstd no problems yet I've got about 11,500 miles on. The ride from original bridgestone's is no comparison. They keep talking about them separating but they my have fixed that by now, hopefully.

    I put a set on my 2005 rstd last year . I put some tape on the lid then set the rail on the lid where you want it to sit, mark where to drill on the tape and drill then attach, it worked good for me. GOOD LUCK
