beastwood Posted January 16, 2018 Share #8 Posted January 16, 2018 I took the RSV out on Saturday for a ride on some two lane roads in Riverside County, CA. I stopped at a point overlooking Lake Elsinore, CA. For lunch I tried a dry rub smoked rib platter with bbq beans and fries. It was a nice day for ridin'.

mraf Posted January 16, 2018 Share #9 Posted January 16, 2018 Blowing out the wintercobwebs would be nice about now but 14 degree days tend to stop us. It is nice to see someone being able to ride, nice pics guys. Don't take this wrong but "bite me" comes to mind. In a friendly sort of way.

videoarizona Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share #12 Posted January 17, 2018 Hey, nice pics. I'm in Phoenix and don't know much about the area. Been looking at day trip rides. Hoping to have my first Yamaha venture in a week or so. 04 venture pearl white! Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Welcome to the Forum, Don. We try to ride about every 2 weeks...but that depends upon whether my "Boss" wants to go sailing! We do that as well. We also have a house in Southern Arizona so when we aren't sailing or riding in Phoenix, we are riding in the South! For rides...once you get settled...and get your bike...we can meet and go over some rides. We've done day rides, weekend rides all over the state. I've been here since 1969...and have forgotten more than I remember about the roads in Arizona. For now, get a good map and look over the 2 lanes from the Phoenix area going outbound. Again, welcome! david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowrollwv Posted January 17, 2018 Share #13 Posted January 17, 2018 What??? A battery that cant hold a charge for a month? Yep. Has done that since the day I got the bike. As long as I start and ride at least each week it is ok. Leave it set for two weeks and the battery will be low. One thing that I have seen with this is when it gets very low the LED lights will come on with out using the switch or key fob. :think: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would fix that, it is not good for the health and life of the battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowrollwv Posted January 17, 2018 Share #15 Posted January 17, 2018 Jeff it was doing that before I put the LEDs on. Battery is 4 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulled the whole front end off last winter to replace head bearings (damaged before I bought it) and had a small draw ever since. It's fine during the summer with regular use but even on a tender these below freezing days do my battery in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bike does not set all winter here we do get a few days that we can do a little ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
