    ok guys i need some answers, with only 1100 miles on this new bike it seems to a lot hoter then my 06rsv after tracing down the main heat source it appears to be coming from the chrome clutch cover on the right side as sitting on the bike ( rear big cover). today i rode 5 miles and it was hot enough to feel thru my boot and pant leg after returning home i used a contact themp. and had a temp of 162 is this normal. i did check to insure the fan is running,the oil level ok only difference from the 06 is the chrome rad coveing,06 doesnt have one any suggestions thanks steve:confused24:

    ito had trouble gettingthe rad down enough to get the top tab over the tube, i just took tin ships and split the top tab on one sibe at an angle opened the tab enough to slide past the tube then bent the tab back to org.shape works fine. i did find that there was a slight vib so i added two small rubber bumpers between the rad and cover at the top to prevent rattle:080402gudl_prv:

    took a short spin around the block today actually went 354 miles the first ride on the 2010 rsv other then a few 1-2 miles here localy. i ma impressed with this bike there's no "whine" not that the 06 was bad but it has a slight one. the engne roar/rumble is really great on the 2010 one sounds more like a bike should,06 was very quite. but i did/do see what all of you have said about the bridgestones , there is a lot of tire noise. i averaged about 70mph and on 2 filol-ups i averaged 46mpg which is grea i now have a grand total of 804 miles on her i loved the 06 enough to buy another rsv and glad i did steve

    i've been on here for over 2 yrs now and see all the tire questions but havnt seen or missed this one, most tell their dislike for bridgestone but never state why they dislike them, they came on my 2010 rsv and even tho i've only gotten 350 miles thus far they seem to hold the road well anddont follow road smakes as bas as the 404's do just wondered what it as about them we dislike thanks steve

    the question was ask yesterday about buying a 2011 rsv i picked up a cycletrader mag. today and Abernathy's in union city tenn has a 20112011venture s listed for $15994 sounds like a good deal to me steve

    well if mini's 1st gen pulled it then a 2nd gen will never know its behind it so may have to add some weight to it:stirthepot:. dan hope all goes well with you will be adding you to my prayers steve
  20. w.steve wells
    my dealings with cycletrader when i was looking for a 2010 is that some dealers post that they have one but when you get them toactualy selling you the unit they advertize they back pedel and say they are on order and will be in soon. thats why i ask here for a member to find one and Mimi and muffinmn came thru for me their dealer is a great place to buy one if they get one in Anderson brothers yamaha steve

    for all those in eastern N.C. i see where my home town girl Heather French has been named Azalea Queen for the Azalea Festivel in Wilmington N.C. this year in honor of Veterens. She has done a lot for veterens rights here in kentucky and has done lobbing in D.C. for our rights. She is a champion of veterns causes and has created the Heather French Foundation for Veterns Inc. she has supported the group i ride with Task Force of Omaga and PG in many functions so if your in that area chech her out and support all veterns and Pow/Mias thanks steve
