I gave up windows and its proprietary apps a few years ago and have not looked back. I still have winxp loaded on my laptop to use with co-workers (less and less). I use Ubuntu. It was the easiest to install and recognize my hardware. Bill will not get any more of my money. Jerry

right, cannot do programing in vb in Linux but everything else is good. I do not try to run windows apps in Linux, I run the Linux software and safe it in windows format. and (this is the biggy if your not trying to get to extravagant with the software) this works great. I did not have good luck running wine and then windows apps, too many problems. So far the people I interface with have not made any complaints about my portion of the projects. They are starting to get a little creative in the slide presentation program but so far everything melds. I do keep windows XP on my laptop (just in case) but so far have not had to resort to that.

I left Microsoft over a year ago. Went with Linux (Ubuntu release) and all the shareware (free, you can and should make a small contribution) and have not had one hiccup, freeze, or virus, period. I have convinced some other people (who's computers I was always working on) to switch and have not had to work on their computers either. They go to all the sites that generate lots of problems. All is free!!! Again, you should make a small contribution but do not have to. All the apps are there (free or make small contribution) office programs, graphics programs, games. everything you would want and most are Windows version compatible. I am so happy no more microsoft in my life!!! I do not have to call anybody to do a re-install, can install the software on all my computers without any BS or more charges. it is great!! Jerry

Holy crap, $15,500 out the door for an 09 RSV-S!!! The $13,999 quote, I though was plus all the BS. I feel like I got cheated now. Mine was $17,200 out the door in California. Our sales tax is a ridiculous 8.25% and license fees are high as well but even with that After I bought mine I did find brand new 08s selling around the $15,500 out the door price. that is one of the reasons I try not to look at other deals after I purchase something. Bottom line, I thought I got a good deal so... Love the bike. Jerry

Gregg, that is exactly the information I was looking for. I attempted to take the lower fairing/cowling off and ran into wiring so I stopped at that point. but next summer I will definitely remove the deflectors (fork and fairing)and allow some air movement. I also bought the adjustable lowers that was recommended but have not installed them yet. probably next week. it has cooled off here considerabley so the urgency has diminished. I was in a rain storm the other day and agree with you, the rain did not flow off the windscreen. I have ordered the clearview with vents but has not arrived yet. I knew I needed more air movement. thanks again Jerry

Stockton Honda-Yamaha. the funny thing is i did not even see any paper work. just in and out and on my way. -
I thought I got a good deal, but yours is about a thousand less. you got one heck of a deal. With our temperatures down in the high 30s to mid 40s this bike keeps me warm. between all the deflectors, fairing and the heat it puts out, I am warm with just a summer jacket. great cold weather bike!

I just used the adapter last weekend and it worked as advertised. put the pin through the holes, put the jack under that and lift. Amazingly, it was just that easy. I have a J&S jack and love it. Before I put the legs on I can move the bike easily anywhere I want to, it rolls that easy on the J&S jack. great adapter with a great Jack! makes working on, or cleaning, the bike a pleasure. Jerry

just sent paypal for 2 (two) 2nd gen pins thanks Jerry

Brad, are you talking about the deflectors connected to the bottom of the fairing? if so, when i remove them, what happens to the space in the fairing? do i need to put a shim in there of equal thickness to the deflector. or are you talking about the deflectors connected to the fork? I kind of tried to remove them but I think Yami coated the bolts, because I put quite a bit of torque on the bolts and they would not give. I did not want to break anything so i stopped. if you are talking about these deflectors, I may take it to the dealer who helped me before and see if they will break them loose for me. Jerry

Lilbeaver, thanks for the simple explanation, makes sense. it sure did make a difference. and yes the second dealer will definitely get my business. He did not go blah, blah, blah. he took action, never asked where i purchased it, just when. was a pleasure doing business with them. Jerry
