    time for a new headset. been using J & M for years, works good for cb and intercomb but my $10.00 pair i wear when walking sounds better for music. anything out there that has quality sound for music. I will admit my J M are about 15 years old. they may have improved much since then. thanks in advanced.

    learned something new today. thanks for all the info. 3.5qts from now on.

    the owners manual says 3.9 qts with filter change. would putting in 4.0 qts make that much difference?

    I checked the oil and it's right in the middle. I've put nearly 10,000 miles on it, changed the oil twice but this is the first time I've seen a little puddle. I usually put in 4qts with a new filter. that is slightly more than required but I wouldn't think it would be too much. but I will keep that in mind. thanks for the info.

    there are four tubes that hang down from the middle of the frame on my 01 rsv. I'm not sure what they are but one of them is dripping oil, the other three are clean. can someone tell me what they are for and why one would drip oil. I tried to trace them down but it's easier to ask the experts. thanks

    I called it a snap but I guess you would call it the upper latch. it's the part of the lid that fastens into the bottom part of the trunk. the one on the right side snapped off not long after i bought it in March. thanks

    the chirping on my 01 is taking the fun out of riding. i've put 9000 miles on it since March and I'm not getting use to it. I'm going to have to do something. It sounds like the I-basked is a gamble. might or might not work. just wondering if the 1st gen. chirpped. why does yamaha ignore this problem?

    one of the snaps on my trunk lid broke off some time ago. i've been riding with just the one but it is wearing thin and won't stay fastened. I guess I'll have to buy a new lid. is there a place to buy one besides yamaha. I'd hate to think what that would cost. any insight on this problem is appreciated. David

    when I had my wing I could listen to the radio on speakers and cb on headsets. It looks like this can't be done on the venture. it's either speakers all the way or headsets. I like my radio on speakers and cb thru headsets. am I missing something or is this just the way it is. thanks

    got the light wired in, wasn't all that difficult. it made a world of difference in visibility. I also got the refund on the shipping charges. I have a few other items I intend to buy from Diamond R when finances allow. they are standup people.
  15. david Taylor
    "Side note, did you pay $22 shipping when the cost on the shipping label was less than $10? " yes, I thought about calling and asking for an explanation how something so small and light could cost so much but didn't. I was also surprised to pay taxes. my $54 item turned into something over $80.

    I recentlyh purchased the Led slimline light from Daimond R. I'm not very elecrically oriented and I can't tell how to wire it. they recommend under the seat but I can't tell what wires are what. it comes with a brown and green wire, do I connect it to the brown and green wire under the seat. I also just installed the 100 led light from custom dynamic. I'm assuming this isn't too much current for the bike. any help to my ignorance would be apprecaited. thanks David.

    this past month 7 motorcyclist were killed within an hour of my house. two couples were taken out at one time by one car. I didn't know any of them but it sure was close to home. Each one was killed because a car driver wasn't paying attention or doing something stupid. the only exception to this was a young man who hit a cow on a sport bike. there is just too many cars out there, be careful.

    just wondering what the most miles you've ever seen on a V4. I know they've been around for a while. i've seen several wings over 250k. I purchased My 01 rsv back in march with 40K on it and I plan on keeping this bike for years to come.
  19. david Taylor
    glad it turned out good for you. just curious but how many miles were on your tire when it blew.
  20. david Taylor
    center stand, reverse, horn that doesn't have to be replaced, fuel injection, cruise control that doesn't quit going up a hill, a better sounding audio system, no chirping and greater visiblity. put all of this on the RSV and you would have the perfect bike. having said all of that I really do love my RSV and with those few exceptions I really don't miss the wing although I haven't been on a long trip yet, hopefull that will be soon.

    just wondering how difficult it is to install I basket. I'm only semi mechanically inclined but can usally figure things out. is this something that a pro should install for me. I would like to do it myself but don't want to get in over my head. thanks

    after 3000 miles on my 01 rsv instead of getting use to it the chirping is driving me nuts. it's taking the fun out of riding. there is no way I could take a long trip with that noise. I've read about changing to the I basket just wondering what the success rate was before i spend the money. if the chirping doesn't go the bike will. thanks

    thanks for the info. what is the height of the OEM.
  24. david Taylor
    my 01 rsv that i bought a month ago came with a short windshield, not usre how tall it is but probably the shortest one they make, too short for me i get a lot of head buffeting. but I don't want one so tall I can't see over it. do they make one 2 or 3 inches shorter than oem. any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I recently purchased an 01 rsv and was wondering if there had been any recalls. Just want to make sure my bike is up todate. thanks
