Took my rsv to a bike nite tonight and had it put on a dyno to see what it would do. Its all stock but h-d mufflers. I was the only non harley in the group. It peaked at 76hp and 75 ft pd of trrque at 6000 rpms. Found out the rev limiter is set at 6000 rpms so it would go no farther. I was pleased with was they said. Its amazing how maney people don't know what a Venture is.

Ok....all was good for a while. I finally got her to a state where I can drive her daily to work. Acceleration and take off were great. After a few days, there started to be some lag below 3k. After a few more days of driving, it got to where it lagging below 4500 RPMs, the 5k and now it is at the point to where it will lag until 6k. After I reach 6000 RPMs, she shoots off like a rocked, but of course I have to shift and when I do, the lag or bogging down returns till 6000 RPMs is reached again. I am not sure where to start....I just had the carbs syncd and I cleaned the plugs. I just replaced the air filter and I have new wires on the way. Could it be the fuel filter causing my issues or do you think that I will have to clean my carbs again (3rd time in 6 months)? It seems the more I keep driving it, the higher I have to get the RPMs in order to get normal throttle response. also, Yes, I have been running seafoam. Please help....

I would like to hear from some of you that have ran Commanders on the RSV. I would like to know how many miles I can expect out of a set, how they handle, etc. I have only run D404's and I am not happy with them. Only 6000 miles on my current rear and it needs replacing. I am interested only in the Michelin. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated.

Folks we are one member away from 6000. I think this an amazing achievement. Congratulations to Freebird for starting our group and for what is becoming one of the largest and best motorcycle forums in existence. :ice_congrats-vi6886Yama Mama

Hi everyone, I have a 2006 RSTD and have read several posts (and Freebird's excellent detailed step-by-step picture show - Thanks!) regarding 17.5 pilots and going up one size on all main jets. I have a question about altitude. I am at 3500 feet in Calgary, AB and often travel the Rockies at 6000 ft plus... I have K&Ns, BUB slipons and the Dyna ignition module. Has anyone with similar equipment run for long periods at 3500 - 6000 feet? If so, how did the richer mixture work out? I'm for anything that adds smooth and more HPs but don't want to go the wrong direction and end up too rich.... Oh and I pull an Aspen Classic which is large as trailers go - probably 500 pounds loaded

I'm getting ready to get rid of my bridgstones. They moan and I don't think they handle all that great and I didn't get that good of mileage on them. Question is when should I replace brake pads. I've got close to 6000 miles on the bike and with the new tires I could get at least 6k or more. Any advice here? Thanks, Bob
