etcswjoe Posted October 3, 2013 #76 Posted October 3, 2013 Nowhere in the owners Manual does it give what oil filter. Couldn't find Mobile Racing at Wally World. May get a change if I can't get it without hunting everywhere. It only has about 100 miles on oil but I like to be ready. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1849http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1849
Freebird Posted October 3, 2013 Author #77 Posted October 3, 2013 I buy the oil at Advanced Auto. I generally get the filter there too and use the Purolator PL14610. Have also used the Walmart ST7317 but I don't know if they still make it.
Yammer Dan Posted October 4, 2013 #78 Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) Thanks got one of them close. Where are bolts to remove seat? One at rear of seat? What Battery is in it? I'll have a thousand questions. Or at least 100. I did turn it around and point it out of garage. Edited October 4, 2013 by Yammer Dan
Freebird Posted October 4, 2013 Author #79 Posted October 4, 2013 There are two nuts to remove the seat. At the very front. One on the left and one on the right. Then it just slides forward and out of the tab on the rear. Battery is almost new. I replaced it Maintenance Day this year. Don't remember the brand but it is a glass mat type from Advanced Auto. Other thing to know. It has the speedo healer on it so the speedometer does read correctly. It also has the mic mutes so quickly toggling the "push to talk" switch turns the microphone on and off to reduce wind noise.
Yammer Dan Posted October 4, 2013 #80 Posted October 4, 2013 ETX20L Battery. I found seat screws. Thumbscrews. Sweet. Killed batter other day in driveway playing with everything. Left sit about ahr it came right back up but I thought I would put float charger on while I'm taking apart.....
Skid Posted October 4, 2013 #81 Posted October 4, 2013 Sometime when you get a chance I'll have Second Gen 101 training in the garage...
mini-muffin Posted October 4, 2013 #82 Posted October 4, 2013 Might just want to schedule a 2nd gen 101 sooner. Ya know we love ya Dan. Margaret
Yammer Dan Posted October 4, 2013 #83 Posted October 4, 2013 Sometime when you get a chance I'll have Second Gen 101 training in the garage... Mark would have loved the chance to say that!! I got it pointed in that direction!!
Squidley Posted October 4, 2013 #84 Posted October 4, 2013 Dan, I only have 1 thing to say to you my friend, tinker with the 1st gens and ride the 2nd gen. Leave it alone, it doesn't need anything Nice snag, I told Lonna if I had the money I would have flown up to Cleveland Ohio and rode that bike back down to Texas
Yammer Dan Posted October 4, 2013 #85 Posted October 4, 2013 If I can't tinker with it I don't want it!! I think I can remember where all the pieces go back...
mini-muffin Posted October 4, 2013 #86 Posted October 4, 2013 Dan I can call the Warden and tell her to hide your tools. You know Don took excellent care of that bike, just ride the thing. Could get her to hog tie ya too, but you might like that. Margaret
Huggy Posted October 4, 2013 #87 Posted October 4, 2013 If I can't tinker with it I don't want it!! I think I can remember where all the pieces go back... If you have any spare parts after you put it back together you probably didn't need them anyway!
billmac Posted October 4, 2013 #89 Posted October 4, 2013 Hey Don, I This is a SAD day in deed! I hope you didn't sell that trailer with your RSV, you MAY need that puppy as you put a few miles on the HD. (Hardley Ridden) Just Sayin', Boss Earl He's selling that trailer and going with an enclosed one so people won't see him hauling the bike to the dealers all the time.
Yammer Dan Posted October 5, 2013 #90 Posted October 5, 2013 Been in hospital withwarden most of last two days.good thing they finally got a doc that wants toknow why instead of doping herup and sending her home! Have i missed anything???
Guest Posted October 5, 2013 #91 Posted October 5, 2013 If I can't tinker with it I don't want it!! I think I can remember where all the pieces go back... Dont touch it...it took me over 2 years after I began tinkering with it.
Yammer Dan Posted October 6, 2013 #92 Posted October 6, 2013 Stillin hospital. Tests after tests but at least they are finally looking. I went off a little on doc in ER. Called him idiot and it worked this time. They started looking for cause. Be here til at lest tuesday i think and i cant do much with this stupid i pad. Holding up ride on new to me bike!!!
etcswjoe Posted October 6, 2013 #93 Posted October 6, 2013 Sorry to hear about the warden, will keep yall in our prayers.
XV1100SE Posted October 6, 2013 #94 Posted October 6, 2013 Tell the Warden we wish her all the best. Hope they finally figure out what is causing her problems.
bongobobny Posted October 6, 2013 #95 Posted October 6, 2013 Yup! Us too! We met the Warden and in spite of what Dan says she is one sweet lady.
Yammer Dan Posted October 6, 2013 #96 Posted October 6, 2013 Got home to clean up and take nap. Warden got tests for next two days at least. Hoping they get her fixed thois time. She won't admit it but she is feeling guilty about taking me away from new bike when I was getting to know it. Told me to stop on way home and check on oil and filters. It is probally getting a change on the oil. 10 bucks a quart is one of the things I won't do.
Skid Posted October 6, 2013 #97 Posted October 6, 2013 Hopefully they get the Warden under control and find out completely what's going on so she can get better. If you need anything let us know.
Yammer Dan Posted October 6, 2013 #98 Posted October 6, 2013 Got in nap back to hospital. I could stay home but I remember that woman living at that hospital to be with me. I could have planned better and took bike....

Yammer Dan Posted October 7, 2013 #100 Posted October 7, 2013 Gives me a while to think about it. Ive used castrol 20/50 since early 1960s but lately been thinking of changing. You use dot 3 brake fluid? i got plenty of Valveoline synthetic dot 3
