On my '07 RSV the CB and radio antennas are reversed from the sides they were mounted to on my '04 RSV. The CB is on the right and the am/fm is on the left. The CB seems to work about as good on the '07 as the '04. My question is, is there a way to determine if the antenna staffs have been improperly installed or if by chance they are correct and the cables were just routed to the opposite sides? Is there a way to visually check this short of tearing into the radio and tracking down the cables? This has been bugging me for a while and I am about to tear into it. Thanks, Dennis -
Has anyone tried HD radio? If so, what do you think of it? It seems like an easy thing to hook up even on a bike - but is it worth it....

I'm in the trucking business and have been in quite a few states this last few weeks and have watched the warm weather bring out our fellow riders! BUT, has the rules changed over the winter and I didn't get the memo? More and more groups of two or more have the lead bike on the right hand side of the lane (right). I ask someone on the radio and got one of those moronic responses, "I'll ride any damn way I want too". I'm thinking he just wishes he could ride and if he ever gets to he wants to be a Hells Angel and be rebellious. But, seriously, has anyone else noticed this?

I have a strange issue with my bike, the past 2 times I have gone out with my group on a longer ride after a period of time the buttons on the front of the radio will stop working, but if I am just going from home to work or around town the buttons continue to work without any issues, when they stop working sometimes after I get a little slower they will work or when we make a fuel stop when I crank back up they start working again without problems....no matter what the volume knob will always work just not the front buttons....Any suggestions?

I am putting a satelite radio on my bike. I don't know anyone with sat radio so my question is: Is one better than the other for reception/signal strength? I am in Canada and so far the companies aren't merging but that could change. Thanks, John

Anyone else ever have this problem ? Bucky Thompson

I've had it with my radio on my 83 VR.. I screwed with it non stop, cleaned it and and even replaced it with one I picked up that i know works. The brass pin connections are just too tricky. I saw somewhere on here at one time where someone had retrofitted a marine radio into the same location as the original.... but I can't find the post again.. I know lots of people just use MP3's and i pods. those are great, but I still like the plain old radio for around town. Any thoughts ideas or knowledge on how to put a marine radio in that location. thanks Clay

Hi Folks: I need some help with my CB / Headset project. I have it pretty much completed. From a 90 I was able to acquire a complete CB and radio system which I have been wireing and mounting into my 84. Has been an interesting project and I feel fairly successfull. All is now working except for the drivers headset. I only get sound from one side. After much deliberation and head scratching not to mention testing and testing I've narrowed it down to one pin in the cable that comes from the radio inside the fairing to where I plug my headset in isn't working. Cleaning etc fails to get it working sooooo Does anyone have one of those cables they would be willing to part with?? Wayne

i read some where in here where to get longer cords for the 2nd gen something about radio shack maybe?

Through the winter didn't have the problem - but now that it's warming up, the problem is back. When I go over bumps the right channel quits working. Then sometimes it will come back on over other bumps. I've taken the radio out and looked at the connetions - they look clean. I was thinking about putting dielectric grease in the connections to see if it would help.

I had tried to get as much riding as possible in the fall, being my first year with my '05. But I got caught by Mother Nature and I had 3 weeks of no riding before I tried to put her away for the winter. It would not start, I charged the battery and it DID start and I was able to put her away. BUT, the radio would not play. I did notice a small spark when attaching the wires to the negative terminal. I dunno?!? So as I am now able to break through the backyard glacier, and I was wondering were to begin and just what the heck to do. Fuses? and how do you get to the fuse in the barrel shaped plastic tube that sits on top of the battery? Which fuse is for the radio? After reading some other people battery woes, the radio seems to be the first thing that goes? right? So maybe it is a weak battery? Any help would be greatly appreciated. And ..... um..... pretend your explaining it to a total moron, (maybe then I'll get it). Thanks.

I have XM radio and I just had to try Sirius to see if it was any better , But I didn't know it was going to cost me $37K ! Unfortunately it was attacked to a brand new '08 F-150 4x4 crew cab . Well to tell the truth , $37K was sticker price of the truck with 6 months free (cough-cough) Sirius radio . And then again I didn't pay the $37K they wanted fer the truck either . All said and done , I traded in my '04 F-150 4x4 extended cab with zero down and only pay $49.00 more than my previous payment . Couldn't get Black Cheery to match the scoot , but Black with the chrome package will do just fine . Here's some picks . BEER30

I am trying to mount a Yeasu FT 10sr, it's an amateur radio. It consists of a control head and a box that contains the actual radio that is separated by a cable. I can not find a good spot for the box. It is about 4 inches square and 2 deep but needs room in front for the antenna connections. The cable between the two boxes is not quite long enough to go back to the trunk if I have the control head mounted high on the handle bars. I may be able to get it into the trunk by moving the control head further down the bars but was wondering if anyone knows another spot that would accommodate the box? There doesn't appear to be any room under the seat or behind each side cover. Anywhere else where there's some space?

I have a noisy audio system. It's happens on all sources (radio, tape, intercom, CB) and is detectable in the speakers but worse in the headsets. It appears to be a noisy power issue. It changes pitch with RPM, and here is the thing I find strange: it decreases when the bike had additional electrical load. Brakes or driving lights cause it to go quieter, and the blinkers do just what you might expect, the noise gets quieter-then-louder...etc. I figure I'll check the ground on the system, as well as the ground on the factory noise filter. Do noise filters go bad? Any other ideas? Thanks, Jeremy

Figured this would be a little different and might prove to provide some laughs. What song is the absolute worst of all time? Im voting anything by Barry Manilow, Rod Stewart, Neil Sedaka or the Spice Girls. But i said one song.....soooooooo I dunno there are so many that really suck! Achey Breaky Heart? The Macharania? I wanna punch my radio out when I hear them. Im going with.....an old 70's song.....Seasons in the Sun! ACK! No Wait....That stupid song Barney used to sing...I love you you love me. HOLY SMOKE

I've searched but to no avail to find a thread on how to set the cb radio on the first edition. Due to a small mishap ruining mine, I picked up a replacement from Buckeye Performance. I even went out and picked up a SWR meter. But exactly how does not go about matching a new antenna on the first edition, or for that matter any stock m/c cb radio. I am lost. I'm sure there is lots of expertise out there so please help. It won't be long before heading out on about a 1400 miles ride to Big Bend, Texas so I'd really like to be able communicate well. Thanks all.

Well, it appears that either my amp or tuner has coughed its guts. It was working ok. Then, the tuner started throwing feedback noise and not picking up stations. Figured it was the antenna. Installed a new antenna and thought all was great. Then it did it again. Went from great radio to nothing but noise. When the radio and intercom are off I can hear a small bit of white noise from the speakers. Also, I do not hear the CB through the dash speakers when I turn the squelch off. I see RX on the CB screen. I think one unit or the other is getting warmed up then cutting out. I don't have headsets yet. So, don't know if the intercom is working. All buttons except AM/FM work. That one is stuck in FM. I cleaned the upper display by taking it apart and using a good contact cleaner. I have to Ohm out the buttons yet. So, any suggestions would be helpful. Pinwall Cycle has the amp and tuner off of a working bike for $45.00 each and shipping. Figure I have to split the LH fairing to get to the radio. JB

I have noticed that most of you talk about XM radios and how you mounted the ant. etc. Does any one out there have a Sirius radio? or am I the only one? I had one in my vehicle and when I bought a new car it came with Sirius in it. So I moved the other one to my bike. I do have trouble keeping a good station, but I have ordered a "Sirius FM direct adapter/modulator from My Radio Store in hopes that will improve my signal. It should be here sometime this week. The radio and ant. are mounted on the left handle bar. I'm thinking about moving the ant. to the back of the bike. Any suggestions out there. Thanks, Ken

I have been scouring the Internet this morning looking for a 6"-12" XM Radio antenna. Anybody have any leads? Thank you!!

Anyone succesfully repaired 1st Gen radio buttons and how did you go about doing it? I'm not missing any button covers but not all my buttons work.

Installed radio and speakers on bike. They sound really good with the mp3 player and radio both. Here are a few pictures. http://venturerider.org/forum/image.php?u=2000&type=sigpic&dateline=1179298656 -
Can you show me some pics of how you mounted the ant.....Fred

Just put some JM's in mine and wife helmets. My wife's bike does not have a radio. Anyone know of a way (adapter cord) to connect the 5-pin to an MP3 player?

You gotta hear this, brought a tear to my eye, my sister-in-law heard this on the radio in Houston, Tx. A remarkable phone call from a 12-yr old boy to Houston radio station KSBJ FM 89.3. So profound, the station has it posted on their website. Click below to listen to it. It's short. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCdZwitrNoY]YouTube - Logan, the Sky Angel Cowboy[/ame]
