    I too think it could be caused by driving more aggressively on left turns than on right turns. I know that when I used to race dirt bikes, I allways felt more comfortable on left turns because when you put your left leg out in front of you while cornering (to serve as an outrigger),your right foot was still on the brake pedal so you felt as though you had complete control of braking.However with your right foot out in front of you ,,you only had control of the front brake. Therefore I went faster on left bends. Is it possible for this to carry over to an rsv??on the street?? I would assume if your a peg scaper that it would indeed carry over from dirt to the street. speaking only for myself I still feel more comfortable hammering through left turns as opposed to right. My 2 cents worth.

    Question?... how do you think it runs compared to the rsv?..and handles?. I do like alot of what the wing has to offer,IE:more power,heated seats,better sound,GPS,reverse for towing,and TONS!of aftermarket stuff available. However I do like the RSV's retro styling better. I like being able to see the engine instead of plastic. And the wing seems to be more cramped when it comes to seating position. Anyway enjoy your wing my friend!!.....Traitor.

    The other day b4 I left home my wife and I were pulling out of an ice cream parlor in town. Stupid me thought the bike was in 1st gear but as I pulled out I realized it was in 2nd. This made for a slower start and a wobble. As I looked back and saw a car approaching quickly,I decided to stop. I must have grabbed too much front brake and the bike went over onto the left crash bar only,with my wife still sitting on the bike. She qickly got off so I could pick it up ,and as I did I noticed a puddle of anti-freeze on the ground the size of a 50cent piece. I couldn't see any damage and no idiot light ever came on. I proceeded to drive home aprox.4 mi. with no issues and haven't started it since. Question: Is there sometype of overflow that could have leaked the fluid? Or is there no way this should have leaked any fluid unless I broke or damaged something. Thx in advance for all your input on this. Cap:bang head:

    Dahhh,,Are you guys talkin about the RSV or a Harley???

    Don't really want anything but more power captain! I guess it's allways different strokes for different folks but everything on your list comes with a price. $$$$. ,,wich is one reason why I bought the rsv instead of any other tourer. I like the retro dash too and while I'm at it,I like being able to see my motor when I look at my bike.(unlike the wing and the LT 1200). Not plastic. Also,,I Can fit TWO full face HJC helmets in my trunk! (07 RSMV). Like I said, different strokes for different folks. More choices in aftermarket parts would be nice, and a CD player instead of a antique cassette player that no one uses. My 2 cents.

    It would be nice to know that some of our politicians had that kind of philosofy. Personally I'de would be very interested in learning more about a candidate like that. :clap2:

    Just looked at my manual and it says that the audio system is warranted for 5 yrs from the date the bike was purchased. Found on page 10-7 of my manual under Consumer Information.
