    Long time member. I am now on my 3rd RSV. Just picked up a 99 for $2K. It shows 116K on the clock but the bike doesn't seem to have travelled that many miles. And even the DMV last reported mileage was ~11,500 in 2015. Thinking that the cluster was changed with a higher mileage unit out of necessity by one of the previous owners. If the cluster stores the mileage and not the ECU then my hypothesis may prove correct.

    Does anyone use DriveCam mounted to their RSV? I think I'd rather that route instead of a helmet cam unless someone has good reason for me to not.

    Yes! I will call him tomorrow! Thank you!

    So while i have both a Venture and a VMax ('89) the rear ends are a simple swap. Not wanting to do machining of either rear end, is there a ready-to-install VMax rear end available? I seem to remember RMSportmax but John seems to be out of business?

    Agreed. But I have so many things on my plate now just giving someone money is a lot easier.

    Looks like the diamondraccessories link is kaput.

    So about 8 years ago I had to sell my '99 RSV and as such left the forum. But a couple days ago I picked up a 2001 RSV for a song! So I'm back! I also have an '03 DL650 V-Strom and an '89 VMax but I am SOOOO glad to have another RSV! Wife and I will be leaving Maui in a few months and will take it with us. Plan is to buy a truck camper and a cargo trailer and travel the US for a bit. Thinking we'll ride to Alaska from Seattle in late August...did I tell you how glad I am to have another RSV? Wife wouldn't even consider it on either of the other ones.

    Sold my RSV Friday. T'was a fantastic scoot but I needed the $$. She had just turned 60K. Didn't get much only about $4400 but these bikes don't command much premium here. Looking for another KLR650 now.

    Old thread. TTT

    JUST what I've been looking for! I think maybe I talked to you about this a year or so ago. I don't want them for the wind but rather the rain. Do you think they would direct the rain away from my knees?

    Bored?

    Guess I'm not too sure what these deflectors are. Can you post a picture?
  13. Monsta
    Can't wait to hear more about the test!
  14. Monsta
    No worries. I won't start a debate here. It's not what the thread is about anyway. Sorry for going off topic.

    And to confound you even more... ... The only TRUE synthetic on the market is Redline...and maybe certain AMSoils. Mobil 1, "Synthetic" Rotella, et al are actually made from good old oil pumped out of the ground. Group III basestocks, IIRC.

    Best post yet!

    Do the cold pressures that seem to be recommended by Avon exceed the tire's max cold pressure on the sidewall?

    I took my gas cap apart and lightly greased everything. If you do, be careful of the springs inside. They can get lost easily.

    Not really for MPG but rather to help avoid icing in cold weather. As the air speeds through the carb it can be cooled sufficiently to create icing due to evaporation of fuel and the cold air temps. This can freeze the butterfly valves.

    I noticed that when I removed the back armor from my riding jacket my seating comfort improved drastically! Seems the armor made me sit too far forward on the seat. Can you believe that I bought a NEW SEAT thinking it was the seat!? It was an accident that the armor wasn't put back into my jacket after washing it. What kind of jacket do you ride with? Does it have armor in the back?

But the Venture's airboxes and lack of standard fog/aux/passing light don't help it much. It still seems to be a better value because who the hell pays anywhere near retail on a bike with an 11 year design.

    Tell me about it! I had to put socks on last night!
  23. Monsta
    So you goin' ridin' or what?
  24. Monsta
    Looks like the black with flames "deletes" the eyebrows.

    How often does one split his fairing versus ride? Strange reason for not wanting them. No self respecting motorcyclist should ever turn down having more lights.
