did they raise the gauges up so you can see them without looking down or are they still too flat?

I stopped in to my dealers today to complain about the carb puking and looked to see if he had his 08 out yet, and still doesnt on the roadstar. Has some others but not the roadie.

Yes the dash is way to low and flat, I have to move my head down to see it. of coarse my eyes are prob. not as good as they used to be. I can't imagine I will ever look at it if I go out of state or when weather gets cold and have on full face helmet.

What happened to the '08?
Sounds like it lost the carb, some fuel capacity, and a little bit of weight.
But the extra cost of buying one will make up for that, as it did NOT get any cheaper!
If ya have a low mileage Roadie, and ya just have to have FI on a Roadie, then a $2000 aftermarket FI system is a heck of a lot cheaper than trading in your older Roadie and forking out $6000 to $7000 more for a new one with FI.
Dealers already been calling to see if I'm interested in trading
in my "in high demand pre-owned Yamaha" Roadie for a "good price and financing rate" on a brand-new 2008. Yeah, ....right...

Re:What happened to the 08? 3 Years, 11 Months ago  
I gottsa ask. What is the issue with the speedo being on the tank? I don't have a problem with it. My eyes aren't constantly locked straight ahead. I look at the scenery to the left and right, I'll look up to watch a hawk or an eagle. I don't spend much time looking at my speedo. A glance once in a while is about it. So what am I missing here

I mean what am I missing on the speedo location. I'm sure you have plenty of suggestions on everything else I'm missing.

I'm with you , never saw an issue with it. Good thing too, as the Liner is very similar. BB
