    without lower cowlings bike will not run right at highway speeds. I bought 2006 RSV that lowers were gone trust me it won't run right unless you put something in front of air cleaners.

    All I ever run for fuel is ethanol blended 15%. I have a 2006 RSV Midnight. 27,000 miles I have put on, PO 5000, 32,000 total. I have not had any fuel related problems. I try to put stabil in when to cold to ride, Oct. - Apr.. I do not have speedo heeler to correct the error with odometer problem. My fuel mileage runs from 42-47. I know that it would be less if I had correct odometer reading. Did an iron butt ride with a Garmin and over the course of 1050 miles difference in odo. reading was 31 miles less on the bike odo. My conclusion 3% less mileage? Still not bad.

    if its still under warranty have them put in an "I basket". My 06 RSV made a terrible noise until the basket was changed. Some who have done this have said that the whine moved in RPMs or came back mine did not and I have a little over 20,000 since the change. I had tried different oils as well without much difference. Yamalube or valvoline 20-50 seemed to be the best for the whine. Currently I am trying Rotela T6 only a couple hundred miles seems ok.

    Looking to buy a set of OEM mirrors. Just installed riser extensions I have aftermarket mirrors and they are not adjustable enough. All I can see is the sky behind........ or if anyone has 1 1/2 inch risers and an aftermarket set of mirrors that function let me know brand so I can get a set thanks. 2007 RSV Midnight

    HID

    did you wire in a relay to shut hid off until bike is running? I looked at feedback for this vendor not sure about them. Your impression of quality? thanks

    This may not be related, when starting my bike sometimes it will die right away, hit the starter again and it will crank along time. have noticed if I turn key to off then back on starts right away when starter button is pushed. Almost like that resets something? I have no other problems with bike. Also am getting 46-50 mpg, only mod is RK mufflers. I get that solo (210lbs) or two up (360). I check almost every tank 9000 mi last year 7000 so far this year. 2006 rsv midnight

    Have you cleaned pivot point, taken kickstand off of bike, use a degreaser and lube? Also is anything bent? Has happened to me. I will check and see if I still have spring, bought a wrecked bike and replaced stand, wire loop was broken in wreck.

  14. cw1263
    I started this post and it has been 8000 miles since I had clutch basket replaced with an I basket. So far so good the whine has not returned.
