    I use the Rotella T Synthetic. O'Reilly Auto has it on sale now until April 10 for $19.99 per gallon jug.

    Find an independent motorcycle/atv shop. They will normally mount and balance pretty cheap as long as you do the work of taking the wheels off the bike. Local shop by me charged $25 per tire. If he did the labor to remove and install, price would have gone up by shop charge ($65/hour at that time).

    Try this one. http://www.650ccnd.com/

    Might end up doing that anyhow. Told superstore that if it does not ship today, I will cancel the order.

    Yes, they USUALLY are fast. That is what really irritates. Being only 30 miles from the warehouse, in the past, my orders have arrived next day. That and the fact that when I ordered the parts were "Available." That is very misleading. Available to me means they are in the warehouse and available for immediate shipping.

    Order a set of brake pads on Tuesday. When I placed the order it said they were "Available." Having had great luck with them in the past, I expected them to ship out within 24 hours. Now 48 hours later, they still have not shipped. I call customer service and was told that "Available" means that they can get it from the manufacturer NOT that it is in stock at the warehouse. Add to that, the Louisville warehouse is no more than 2 miles out of my way when going to work. They have an outlet store there but no longer allow Will Call, so I am paying $6.99 for them to ship 30 miles to my house. I will admit that even with shipping, the pads are $5 cheaper than the local Yama Dealer, but for $5, I could have had the new brakes on 2 days ago. Just venting.

    Lived in OKLA for 12 years. Never been very close to a tornado there. The one here in southern Indiana missed us by about 3 miles. Pictures (tv and paper) do not do it justice. We did not have damage, but know several people that did.

    My thoughts are that if I have to take it apart, it would be just as well to change the plates.

    Read the how to in the tech section. Is SkyDoc's clutch for RSV? When i looked in member vendor area it only listed 1st gen. Guess the question really is, is it just the plates/disks that get replaced (OEM job?) I will have no problem doing the work, just need a parts list I guess. Little anal that way. LOL Thanks

    Just under 43K miles on 2007 RSV, clutch is starting to slip at high rpms. No trailer towing, mostly solo riding. Is it worth the upgrade or just go with OEM style? Is there a complete kit or do I have to order parts separately? Or do I just need new friction plates? What parts will I need? Never done a clutch before, so not sure what gets replace and what might get reused. Where is the best place to get clutch parts? THANKS

    Cleaning the windshield today, I noticed one side is very loose (broken mount). Warranty is good until Feb 28, 2012. I know there is a "fix" in the tech section, but will Yamaha do anything about it under warranty?

    Thanks Dale (Midnight Rider) and Cindy (Cinderella) for the help getting us moved. If anyone needs a gun safe moved, Dale now has experience.

    Just say "No" to Metz! Too many bad experiences here with them. I my 2nd set of E3s. LOVE THEM!

    Pretty sure my pump is going south. But it is very hard to tell because it is intermittent. Makes it near impossible to get it replaced under warranty. Last time mine died like that, I turned the fuel selector to reserve and it ran. I try not to let the tank get below 1/2 and keep the few tools needed in the side bag to bypass the pump
  15. Jethroish
    That's what I have done. I also have 2 bicycle hangers in the garage ceiling that are anchored into the rafter. Once I get the bike up on the lift, I use some tie down straps on the handlebars and hook to the bicycle hooks. Done it that way twice now.

    Cannot hear my fan. Very quiet, but I have seen it cycling on and off.

    The filter was changed about 3000 miles (or less) ago. I did take it out and drain fuel thru it also. Does not seemed clogged at all. I am to the point it is either an intermittent fuel pump issue or a clogged jet.
  18. Jethroish
    Ok guys, I may have spoke too soon. Nothing like walking out to the parking lot a 2am and the bike won't start. Acted like it was fuel starved. Flipped the fuel valve to "reserve" and it started up and ran the 30 miles home. Drained 2.5 gallons out of the tank this morning then pulled the valve. I did not see anything that may have been blocking the pick-up screen. Since the tank is off, I am changing the plugs too.

    A while back, I had an issue with the bike not running. I was pretty sure it was the fuel pump, but turned out to be bad gas and plugged filter/line. Once again, the bike died on me less than a mile after leaving the house. This time it acted like it was hitting only 2 or 3 cyls. Check the pump, good. Checked the filter, good. Drained 1 qt of fuel from tank with reserve selected, good. My conclusion is it is either something in the tank occasionally blocking the fuel flow thru the petcock or a clogged jet. This last time it died, I could start it back up and it would run very rough. After about 5 minutes, it was like nothing was wrong. Tank and a half of fuel and a can of SeaFoam, it is running well. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

    :sign yeah that:What you said, PLUS 5 year warranty. All I needed. Could not justify spending $8000 more for the HD.
  21. Jethroish
    All you need is a Dremel or similar.
  22. Jethroish
    Cindy, feel free to PM me. Wife, daughter and I might be able to come help. I work evenings, so it may all depend on when you will be rolling in. We are just up the road a few miles.

    I have never personally met Ponch. Regardless, like the rest of the "family" here, I HATE hearing of anyone in this situation. Prayers are on the way.
  24. Jethroish
    Put mine in the same spot.
