You may recall my posts eralier this week regarding my battery on my RSV going dead after only a 160 mile ride, using heated gear & passing lamps. I decided to run 2 tests this weekend -- looks to me like my new RSV is not charging the batt -- TEST ONE - SAT 3 FEB (fully charged batt) TEMP = 30 degrees DISTANCE = 100 miles AVG SPEED = 50mph PASSING LAMPS = YES GERBING GEAR = YES, Jacket & gloves (@50%) Upon return I hooked up the battery tender -- it took 5.5 hrs to get to solid green light, full charge. (( Jacket = 6.4 amps, 77 watts; Gloves = 2.2 amps, 27 watts)) TEST TWO - SUN 4 FEB (fully charged batt) TEMP = 30 degrees DISTANCE = 100 miles AVG SPEED = 52 mph PASSING LAMPS = YES GERBING GEAR = None Upon return I hooked up the battery tender -- it went to flashing green in 30 seconds (80% charge) -- it took 2.5 hrs to get to solid green light, full charge. For certain, there is a bigger drain using heated gear. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY -- this system is not charging the battery. This is my 6th bike and with the exception of the evil HD from hell, none of them came back in the garage from a ride with an un-charged battery. So, I guess it's time to have the dealer put in that new battery? Your opinions appreciated, DREBBIN

Passing Lamps - where is the switch???
Guest posted a topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
Hi All, I just bought a 2000 Royal Star Millenoium Edition with the factory passing lamps, but I do not see how to turn them on. They do not come on with the high-beam or low-beam. Is there a separate switch? Thanks PK -

Has anyone had trouble with the little switch on the Yamaha Passing Lamps for an '05 RSTD. If so, what, and how, was the problem resolved. Thanks in advance. -
