  1. I'd love to but have family obligations this weekend that will prevent me from attending. Next time!
  2. LOL, yep i think that must be right!
  3. Any place in particular you would recommend getting the progressive pump guy from? I found this one on Amazon for $40 [ame=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GZPGCQ/ref=s9_simh_gw_p263_d0_g263_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0FEJ5620KCCZY47XV12Q&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846]Amazon.com: Progressive Suspension GP3-30 '0-30 PSI' Mini Gauge Pump: Automotive@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21q9leIX-IL.@@AMEPARAM@@21q9leIX-IL[/ame] and I have an amazon prime membership, so free shipping (that's good). As for the taillight, is that the one from denniskirk? I know I've seen one on there but didn't pay too much attention to it. One of the guys in my local EAA chapter just got rear ended on his bike. He's got some broken bones and such but will live. Oy.
  4. She's the pearl white one. I think that it's got a real "classic" feel to it. Really do love the bike. I'm still getting used to riding 2-up, but solo I hardly notice the weight difference between this bike and my old Honda 600 even though there is a several hundred pound difference.
  5. Hello fellow riders. I'm a brand new member to the Yamaha family. I've been riding cycles since I was 16. My first bike was a Harley Sprint. That died on me when I was young and didn't get another bike until back in 2003 when I bought a Honda Shadow 600. That kept me happy for the last 9 years but I wanted something bigger that I could ride 2 up with the wife. Was just kind of looking around and fell in love with the 2006 Royal Star Tour Deluxe that a local dealership had for sale, so I pulled the trigger and now I'm the proud owner of said bike. I've got a few questions. 1. The bike itself didn't come with a owners manual. I've got the one off of Yamaha's site, but I'd also like a service manual. There are some things that from the owners manual didn't seem very clear to me and I'm hoping that the service manual will help clear it up. Any suggestions as to what service manual I should get? I've seen a lot of the electronic ones on e-bay for 2. This is the first bike that I've owned that's had adjustable suspension. What kind of tool do I need to adjust the suspension? 2a. I think I've found the suspension adjustment (again, the PDF from yamaha wasn't very clear) for the front forks but can't find where the rear adjustment is. (I have hard bags on if that makes a difference) 3. I'm not afraid of doing some of my own maintenance especially since there really isn't anywhere local I can take the bike to get serviced. (thus question 1 about which service manual I should get) Are there any kind of "specialty tools" that I need to get? It already seems to me like I might need to get a tool to sync the carbs and some kind of low pressure inflator/gauge to check and adjust the suspension? I think that may be it for now. Thanks in advance!
