Another vote for the 765 here, bought a 550 and other than the screen it wasn't all that great. It stuttered the music if making map changes. The 765 has been working awesome for a less than 200.00 investment including the ram mount, sunshade and power cord. Not waterproof but baggies are cheap!
Good Luck

We rode to Topeka today with friends for the yearly dyno day. Great weather for it. Looking forward to the change of pace to our usual roads we ride. Hope the weather holds out.

1/4-20 nylon wing nuts from lowes or home depot or any hardware store. just cross thread them on. after that they will screw on and off just fine.about 40 cents each.
That's what I did. Cheap and works great...no tools needed.

Yep...it's a new Vmax. I will see it just to drool over the bike. Glad to see I'm not the only one who likes cheese with my movies.

I'm the new guy around here but Ponch has already been a big help for me. I'm not normally one for prayer but I too am praying for a speedy and full recovery.

Just want to confirm before I start investing money in this project. I want to get Vmax gearing in my RSV and the Vmax final drives are too damned costly. Found a few FJR setups that are far more reasonable. Nice thing is they also don't have the shock stud to worry about. Can anyone confirm the FJR final drive will work?
Thanks for any and all info!!

If you can see where it goes you can just run a wire in it's place.

Oh crap...ignore my reply. I really doubt that is the prob with your 09
Prob splines or drive pegs

A freind had that happen to his max in topeka one year. The pinion nut sheared off inside. We just swapped the whole thing. Not safe by any stretch. Sorry bud

I was wondering how that one happened as well. Didn't see any follow up in the news at all. Seems they don't follow up on any of the stuff I want to know about.
Ride safe all.

I have an app called baygenie that does that for you. Works very well.
Cool purchase!

I'm hoping someone has a bit of advice, this is on my list of stuff I would like to do. I have to find the bars first. Please take notes when you tackle this one.
Good luck

The 2 man team stuff where they are leashed together is really impressive too!

Hey MikeWa...that is a sweet setup! Thinking about doing something like this myself with a fold down bunk and AC. Kind of a multi purpose hauler.
Thanks for the pics

Yet another call to Yamaha and they claim that their techs have never seen this sort of issue(missing bolts) on one of these bikes. She also made it a point to say that if there was an issue they would be the first to know about it.
What a joke.

Midrsv... I am still trying to decide what to do. I had to explain to them several times what was actually wrong and then when they finally figured it out they say the bike had to have been wrecked and the bolts were left out. They never even called Yamaha. It cost me 85 bucks and my bike was gone for a week and its still not fixed. All they did was install the bolts.
I called Yamaha and got a brush off.
Not sure what to do next.
Who was your dealer? Thanks for any info

Thanks Shamue!
tx2sturgis Yeah I figured that out by now. The main thing now is I at least want it fixed right ONCE. After that it's anybodies guess. But right now if the outer fairing breaks they have no reason to fix it because they claim it's wrecked. I just want it on the books as an issue that happens and that they have tried to fix. I bought a bike with a warranty and they should honor that warranty.

Eusa1 the problem is the dealer seems to think that the metal cage bracket doesn't fit properly. And because of this he is saying the bike has been wrecked. I have obviously been in there a few times and had zero issue out of this same bracket. I did take pictures to show that the bolts were missing and that it had been zip tied but the dealer thinks the zip tie is part of crash damage. He doesn't realize that this has happened to others. This is what I am trying to prove. I'm just looking for others that have had this repaired due to the missing bolts/zip tie

If anyone reading this thread has had this issue would you please consider sending me as much detail as you can from these repairs? Invoices if you can. You can block personal info. I really want my bike fixed and this warranty issue fixed.
Thanks
Frank

Can you tell me who you dealt with at Bobby J's Yamaha? I really think if I can provide proof to the dealer that this is a repeated issue they will take care of it.
Thanks for the reply!

Ok like others I have found that the bolts were left out of the metal strip at the top on the fairing. I did what I thought was the right thing. I took it to the dealer. Days later the dealer put bolts in the strip and told me the repair was good. They completely ignored the fact that the ends were broken loose at the well nuts. After several calls explaining to the dealer how the bike they sell was put together they finally see what the problem is. They claim the inner support is bent and that the bike must have been wrecked and that's why the bolts weren't there. So they are claiming no warranty on any of these parts. I called the Yamaha number? (800-962-7926) The lady said she called the dealer and said if the dealer said it's not something Yamaha would cover than it isn't...end of story.
I'm beyond upset. I shopped long and hard to find a bike with 1089 miles on it and warranty so I wouldn't have this sort of problem.
Anyone have any help or advice?

Can anyone take a picture of what these look like on a RSV?

There is a group of nerves in your shoulder that can also cause these problems. Some stretching can help with the problem. Keeping the weight off the hands and arms helps too.
Good luck finding your fix.

Another Which GPS question.

The 765 has an fm transmitter as well. But I use the headphone jack to my aux in and my own mic cable so I can make calls using my helmet mic. Works great!!
