Cushman, the scooter of my dreams when i turned 14, was my first 2 wheel riding experience.

[How Long??]

Joined when I got the RSV September 10. One of my favorites, although I haven't been around long:happy65:

[Cassette Deck, why do you have a problem with MORE options?]

my 2009 RSV was not a Impulse Buy. I started looking for my next bike when I got my 2006 RSTD. Looked at Victory, Honda, HD. I had already decided that the RSV was not for me. I never considered Kawasaki. Had a couple of those, they just where not good fits for me. I was not going to buy until September 2011 when 2006 hit it's 5 year mark. However, after 4 years of looking at all the others the RSV just would not go away, no FI and cassette seemed to be non-important, just a good solid dependable bike became the issue. Got a terrific deal on the 2009, as the 2011's had been introduced, and a great trade on my 58000 mile RSTD. Most of my extra stuff from the RSTD fit the Venture, which also saved me money. So far I only have about 800 miles on the RSV, but love it, cassette and all.

[Going under the knife]

Hope all goes well.

[Windows 7 - Don't throw your scanner out]

Too late dumped old scanner and got new one when I went to Vista last year:bang head:

[Cassette Deck, why do you have a problem with MORE options?]

I to wanted FI and other up to date items. Then I realized that the combination provided by Yamaha works. If it ain't broke don't fix it. And all those other features cost:mo money:

[Which Venture, or Royal Star?]

I rode a 2006 RSTD for 4 years and 58,000 miles pretty much through all kinds of ridding. Great bike. Traded for a 2009 RSV early September. Ride it every day and love it. I enjoy the fairing and radio with trunk. As you see I put on a lot of miles so the RSV is really the best fit. I am 5'7" at 160lb and 62 years young.

[Rear turn signal mod]

I had this Mod on My 06 RSTD got red lens from kuryakn. However came accross this Manufacture and have used their product for about 3 yrs now. Just put one on my RSV. They are a little pricey however, if you want to be seen, i think this is the way to go. I use the integrated brake signal unit. http://WWW.Kriss.com

 

[Gas shot out my exhaust!]

sounds to me like something got stuck. Same thing happened to me on a 1100 v-star after a long winters nap with e10 in tank.....a good cleaning resolved the problem and it was back to normal.....

[voltage at battery]

My two cents worth. RSTD and RSV have weak electrical systems that require good management. I have Moto lights on mine and after about 20 min of running charging cannot keep up with usage. I usually shut down lights for about ten minutes until sytem recharges. On RSV i have gone to Custom dynamics LEDS and have resolved the problem.

[dumped the "lizard" and Progressive]

Must be our locations, my Geico on new 2009 RSV with $4000.00 extras is $346 a year for full coverage, with a $500 deductible. I looked at progressive and they where higher so i stayed with geico.

[EPA Approves E15 Ethanol]

I use pure gas only while ridding locally, however on the road sometimes e10 is the only gas available. I have had some bad experience with the E10, especially when storing for the winter.

[Zumo 600 and Scala Rider G4]

I have the 550 and only time I have a problem is when sun is over my shoulder. Don't use the voice feature except in cage....After 3 yrs of use I wouldn't travel without it.

[Biker down - need some family help in knoxville!]

Prayers are there....

[Almost a New Venture]

Something tells me you should have passed go:doh: however, Truck will be nice......

[Belt Problem - Avon Venom]

I had 16000 on set of Avon Venom X when they where changed and probably had more i could have put on them, however was going on long trip and didn't want to chance it. next set had 14000 on them when I traded bike. That was on a 2006 RSTD. I had a set of dunlaps with approx same millage. I just like the Avons because they seem to be quieter. I put Avons on my new 2009 venture, scrapped the bridgestones before i even rode it across the street. I'll let you know this summer how the Avon's hold up on the venture, although I'm hoping for the same result as the RSTD.

[Trunk progress update]

I rode an 06 rstd for four years and wanted a hard trunk, but never could find the best fit. Guess I just didn't look hard enough. I think this will look good after paint.
