RSV Gen 2. Need rear tire. Very unhappy w/dunlop D404. Any feedback on Kenda Kruz K673?
-
Take it from someone who spent the $$ on the factory dunlops:thumbdown:. I got a whopping 4000 miles on them and the rear tire is almost bald. I ran spec air pressure. I was asked two questions from other bikers when they looked at my rear tire: No.1-do you burn out alot? No. 2- how much weight do you carry? I'll let you figure out what my answer was. Anyway, I will opt out on the dunlop 404 this time.

Thanks for your input Freebird. I called JCW, they sell aftermarket VW fuel pumps but they want you to buy a fuel regulator also. I took Wizards advice. I spent $6 bucks on fuel line & a filter. Removed the pump & away I went. I wish I would have thought of this idea. I may leave this pump off, well at least for now. I rode to work & back, she runs great not missing a beat. Thanks again you guys I appreciate all the input & special thanks to Wizard:guitarist 2:

Thanks a million! I have spent hours on the phone trying to locate one of these pumps. I even called the Yamaha Warehouse in Wisconsin. Yes they have it in stock but they will only ship to a dealer. Literally I have found this part @ dealerships anywhere from $217-$275 makes you wonder wholesale cost would be???? I have called salvage yards, they want $90-125 for a pump off a 1999. Its true, they have a corner on this market!! I appreciate your info. Thank You!

I checked for continuity I have it. Took off the cap like you said & it looks like a set of pointes inside. They are closed I can work them back & forth but they stay closed. How tough are these things? Is it possible the armiture is burned up from me giving the battery a fast 10 amp boost? Sounds like you've dealt with these pumps before. I just want to make sure its shot before I spend the bucks on a new one. I had a trip planned for this weekend but it looks like its postponed. Bill

I got the relay today. Plugged it in & the engine started briefly & quit. I cranked it & found the pump is not working. Now I need a pump, this thing is like 230 bucks. I checked for used, Pinwall has one but wont guarantee that it works! I just wonder if there is a rebuild kit available.
-
Yes the first thing I did was check the fuses & discovered the fuel pump is not fused it has a relay. I have no power going to the pump. The relay powers the pump. I think I fried the relay & maybe even the pump.
-
My wiring diagram shows this relay powers the fuel pump, side stand & a host of other items. I have no power going to the fuel pump. Here is how it happened. I left my key on, killing the battery. I put it on a charger. waited a while battery not up so I put the charger on boost(BIG MISTAKE)! I cranked it a few times with the 10 amp boost I must have fried this relay & maybe even the fuel pump. The fuel pump will not energize, I tried it with 12v direct. Needless to say this is going to cost me big! Anybody out there parting out a 2001 RSV?:crying:
-
Thanks, CMP was the first place I tried this relay is on National Back Order:crying:

I am looking for a starter/fuel pump relay. Does anyone have an extra or know what dealer might have one in stock? Part number 5EA-81950-00. I need ASAP. If you can help I would appreciate it very much. Bill:thumbsup:

Whirl, Whine noise Gen 2 RSV
wm.butler replied to wm.butler's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I used wheel bearing grease on the rear hub assembly & spines. 80w-90 gear lube in the rear hub. I did not notice abnormal wear on splines. -
2001 RSV with 13000 miles. Whirl, whine @ all speeds even 20mph. Its not in the rear, but I can hear it louder near the front center of the bike. The noise quits when I pull in the clutch. That confirms a driveline issue. Sounds like a bad bearing, maybe the one at the front of the driveshaft. I thought by adding the Samson pipes I wouldn"t hear it but no luck. I replaced both tires & lubed the rear hub. This sound is driving me crazy. Anybody out there have success fixing this problem? Could it be the u-joint worn?

I got a factory pro jet kit for my RSV Gen 2. It is CRB-Y92-1.0 part number. Have any of you guys or ladies installed one of these? Just looking for some feedback and or tips. I know I have to dis-assemble tank and remove carbs. How big of a project is this & is it worth it? Someone told me I may need to do this several times until I get the right jet combination. The bike does have Samson slash cut mufflers. Is it worth doing? Bill
