    2007 RSMV 24500 miles. Started bike up today and let it warm up. Took off and it felt like the bike was only running on 2 cylinders. Got about 1/4 mile and had to pull into a parking lot. As soon as I pulled in the clutch the bike died. Tried to restart and bike fired but did not start. Pulled out choke all the way and it started and but had to work pretty hard to keep runnning. Shut bike off and turn key back on to check electrical stuff. All appeared to be working. Dash and all lights were normal. Let sit about 10 to 15 minutes turned key on, heard fuel pump running and started up bike. It ran like nothing ever happened. I turned arround and went home. I wonder how long it will be before it happens again?. Guess I'll be calling dealer tomorrow to have them order a pump.

    I have been running 40 lbs in the rear tire. I changed it to 38 lbs to hopefully force a different wear area on the tire. I used to get 24 to 26,000 miles on the E2. I am still running the original 404 on the front with 19,000 miles, it is starting to cup. It will be gone by the end of summer. Was hoping to put a E3 on the front but maybe not.

    Put E3 on back of my 2007 RSV. After about 5000 miles its already squaring off and starting to make a high pitched howling sound. Been riding some twistes to round it up again and it is slowley getting better. I do alot of straight line riding but I didn't expect the tire to do this so quickley. I used to run E2's on my VR with the same type of riding a did not have this problem. Any one else have there rear tire do this?

    One of the calipers is out. The other caliper looks like it is all the way in. May have a stuck caliper.

    Checked steering head bearings already, they feel good. Not the chrome piece in front. I removed that and went for a test ride, still did it. I did not check the wire bundles inside the fairing. That would be a good place to look this weekend. Thanks

    I have a 2007 RSV. When I hit a certain bumps on the road I get a loud bang from inside the fairing. It is not all bumps just ones that seem to have a sharp drop to it. I have changed the air pessure in the front forks anywhere from 0 to 5 psi and it doesn't make a difference. I have removed the front fairing and cannot find anything loose or broken. I did notice that the headlight assembly is spring mounted and does make a little noise but I don't think this is the problem. Does any one else have this problem?
