heh... yep... but this is British Columbia... the province of Government run everything LOL we have a dictatorship here. I used to live in Alberta (several years ago so things may have changed). At that time I had two vehicles and a motorcycle. I moved to BC but before I did, I sold one vehicle and the motorcycle. My insurance for one vehicle in BC was at the very least double what I paid for all 3 in Alberta.

I put storage insurance on mine and if a day is nice enough to go for a ride, I get a one day permit which only cost's $25. Since that doesn't happen too often, it's a lot cheaper than full insurance all year long. My new scoot costs considerably more than my '87 due to the value. My '87 insurance was $91 a month for 6 months. The new scoot is $158/month . Neither included collision... just a million third party and full comprehensive with $300 deductable.

A "clean title" to me means there are no liens or encumberances on it.

heh ... ok.. now I'm getting my right and my left mixed up... was I going UP the stairs or was I going DOWN? LOL This must be another one of those things like the chrome heat shield on top of the rear cam/valve cover... some are on the right and some are on the left..some are upside down... My aux DC outlet is on the clutch lever side of the cowling... go figgure!
-
Is that when sitting facing forward or when sitting facing rearward?? :rotf:
-
When I'm sitting on the bike, mine is on the left side.

In the owner's manual, it lists an Aux DC jack and Aux DC terminal. Is the jack the same on as that used for the audio headset? How do you use the Aux DC terminal? Could someone pls elaborate...thanks

clutch basket question
SilvrT replied to Silver Bullet's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Interesting...verrrrrryyyy interesting... do U happen to have a web link for that? -
you mean the seat belt for strapping down those "rib jabbers" that sits behind you? :rotf:
-
I rarely wear t-shirts but I'll buy some cotton ones for my scoot anyway!
-
good idea which I will do sometime over the winter; however, the whine I'm referring to does not come from the driveline but rather, the engine. It IS the infamous "chirp" ya'll talk about. I do notice tho that the stock tires do produce a bit of a "howl"... no biggie tho..when the time comes I'll be mounting Avon's most likely.

Won't accept Canadian addresses... anyone have a link for the same thing on the Canadian site? I did some looking but couldn't find anything.

I just bought this '06 ... I could have gotten an '08 for $15,900 but this '06 had only 1300 km's on it and I got it for $12,900. I wanted an RSMV and didn't like the grey color of the '08. From all I've read and heard, I'd say your one of the lucky ones that didn't get a "whiner".
-
I've found that if I wear a 3/4 helmet (covers ears), I don't notice the whine so much compared to wearing my usual 1/2 helmet (ears not covered). I don't plan on changing the exhaust for quite a while and I've changed to Amsoil synthetic which seemed to make a bit of difference. As mentioned, I can live with the whine as it now is but it would be nice to eliminate or reduce it. I also have the tunes on most of the time.

I doubt this part is something put on at the dealership when they uncrate it. Yes, I took your pic and added the line & text... (was easier than snapping my own pic).
-
Mine is on the right and it's reversed ... meaning, the "upward" lip is forward and the "downward" lip is towards the seat. And, what are the chromed "U-bracket" for I wonder?
-
Guys, I know there is a lot of info on the site about the infamous "chirp" and the clutch basket changeout. What I wanted to do with this post is get some statistics to determine a percentage of success before I proceed to hassle the local dealer to change mine. Reason is, I can live with it the way it is and if all the I-basket will do for me (based on the odds) is to move the chirp/whine to a different RPM range, I won't bother. So, using the above poll, I hope to arrive at some sort of decision. If you choose Other, would you kindly elaborate. Thanks for your input.
-
thanks Keith... mine is on the right side and appears to be mounted properly. At least access to the seat nuts aren't restricted.
-
Can somene post a pic of what you're talking about? I have no problem accessing the seat nuts (and I'm not talking about the ones sitting on it) ... maybe I don't have these on mine???

Well, the weatherman was nice to us today... clear skies broke through for a little while and the temp got up to 10 celcius so off we went... put on a couple hundred km's and had the chance to get the new scoot up to some serious speed (160km/h +) ... well, it was no trouble getting there and she handled like a dream and now that I've got some proper air pressure in the shocks and tires, the handling is great...even at low speed I was able to do a tight 180 with little effort. Unfortunately I got the "chirp" and it is a bit annoying. Stopped in at a local dealer to talk to them about it and they have replaced the basket on 4 bikes so far this year. According to those owners, all it did was change the chirp to a different rpm range. For now I think I'll just learn to live with it. Cranking up the tunes sure helps...now where was that post explaining how to drill out the pipes??? I LOVE MY NEW RSMV!

Way to go!!! I've tried a couple times... managed 8 months the first time (and that was several years ago) and managed 2 months doing without a year ago... Nina says it's time to try again so, by end of year we're supposed to be off the smokes...
