Am re-posting this link to my photo bucket http://s300.photobucket.com/albums/nn10/sleepy2_2008/

Have you been on the Road-star web sight(roadstarclinic.com)? They have a lot of good answers there. I had similar problems on my 2000 Road-star also and went to the heavier gauge(I think original size was 6gauge and went to 4gauge) for BOTH + & - & solenoid cables. You can get aftermarket ones or you can make your own like I did. I also went with a Odyssey PC545 gel battery. Even with really cold weather(I ride mine till it snows) you can try to start but if it won't just hold starter button and it will. Has a great sort of deep cycle power storage(according to dealer)Haven't really no problems since! Hope this helps

I guess I should have said that the old tire did not have HARLEY on the sidewall but he said it was the size of the HARLEY and not my Road star. The rotor was grooved enough that I planed to change but ran out of time because of all the overtime. Luckily I got a used rotor otherwise it would have cost a couple hundred more for new and would have had to wait to get one.(would have not been able to go to MD this weekend) They recommend replacing both tire and tube.
-
According to write ups I've read it is OK to put tube in tubless but not sure what old tire was just that it was HARLEY and new tire is radial(it had tube in old tire also as have wire spoke rims on bike)

I have(before accident) 87 Venture and had bulbs changed to I think I put in 57bulbs That's what my lights take(have turn and brake lights) in my trailer.I think I had sort of the same problem. So I bought the Led trailer tail-light kit--very bright and show up great(have at least 20-30 lights in there) and had no problems after--worked just fine. I have Road-star now and no problems now with it. Didn't have to put any resistors at all. Hope this helps.

Thanks BIG TOM For your help and I can wait to get my reduction when I get there.

P.M.'d You Thanks!

Sport biker at my work got caught at 160klm/hr in 50klm/hr zone outside work 2 weeks ago.(Ingersoll Ont.) Guy many years ago hit car going into parking lot at that speed and died on impact-landed 400 feet from bike which was in-bedded in car. DUMB! Lessons never seem to be learned.

Canada is the same for importing wooden items.My friend inherited an antique Triumph with sidecar (made of wood) and it was confiscated at customs and he now has to rebuild with Canadian wood. Not sure if the same would happen if traveling thru the country or not.

Had an off and on rainy ride from Woodstock Ont. to Fort Erie this morning.Went to Motorcycle Swap Meet---mostly Harley Davidson stuff(buying parts lost?????) but bought set of 3 leather small bags to fit between bars and windshield on my Road-star for my trip(hopefully to Maintanance Day) and Out Back coats for the Phantom Wife and I.Stopped by Wizard765's place but he wasn't home so had coffee at Tim Hortons and drove to MarCarl's and visited for a while before riding home still in the rain. Luckily I had tonight off or it would have been a lllooonnnnggg night. Was not a bad ride at all very refreshing.

Freebird's Maintenance Day Parts/Accessories Thread
sleepy2 replied to michellea's topic in Watering Hole
Could you give me a quote on clutch-cable/push throttle and pull throttle cables for 2000 Yamaha Road star Silverado? If you could get aftermarket braided covered what would be cost ?Priced ones from Old Bike Barn for Motion Pro Armor Coat SST and Big Bike and they were around roughly $75 --$100.Figured if I could pick up at Maintenance Day I could keep with me as spares. Thanks inadvance -
Kick stand reminder.......again.

Would a grade8 bolt be a better replacement as they are supposed to take a lot bigger side load than grade5.
