I'll have to see. I'm not sure that it can be removed per member. I'll see what I can do though.

Yes, that is exactly what it means.

I usually use a pint plastic jar with two holes cut into the top, one for the tube from the caliper and the other for a vent. The fluid that I bled out covers the end of the plastic tube preventing air from getting sucked back into the line. I've used this method to gravity bleed my brakes more than once. You can pump the MC if you need to and not worry about air getting back into the lines. When my son left home I lost my pedal pumper for my autos and had to come up with a way to bleed the brakes solo.

And once you get on the right theme, you shouldn't even have to scroll down to see the moon. It should always be at the lower right of your screen.

There is a downloadable one on this web site which I did down load. I also purchased the one from Service-shop-repair manual for $50 but is is now down to $40. I find it easier at times to use the hard copy, but have the electronic version on my iPhone and iPad for convenience for when the hard copy is not readily available. 2018-2020 Yamaha Star Venture / Transcontinental Tourer Part# LIT-11616-31-04 service shop repair manual RRP: $169.99 Your Price: $40.00(You save $129.99) Brand: Yamaha Condition: New Weight: 5.00 LBS Rating: ( 2 product reviews ) Availability: ships within 24 hours Shipping: Calculated at checkout Quantity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30

Did anyone mention speed bleeders? I use these, makes it real easy. Check to make sure you get the right size for your particullar bike. https://www.amazon.com/Motion-Pro-08-0482-Mini-Bleeder/dp/B0077QSGFG/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=Speed+Bleeder+motion+pro&qid=1603981288&sr=8-5

I bled my 2007 RSV just like I bleed my autos which is pumping the pedal or lever and holding while opening the bleed valve. I did use my hand operated mityvac some too to help out.

Maybe there should have been a yellow button between the red and the green. would that have made it easier for you ......MR POOFER

Then you have a Royal Star Venture. Look in the 2nd gen tech library for brake information. 1983-85: Gen 1 MK1 86-93: Gen 1 MKll 99-2013 Gen 2 2018- Gen 3. The gen 2s don’t have linked brakes.

Oh, I definitely voted for the right one, just hope enough others do too.

It's defiantly like a Harley.

Allen, It shows in your profile that you have a 2003 Venture Royale, this is a bit misleading as the year and the model don't coincide. if it's a 2003 it's a Royal Star Venture or a 2nd Gen, if it's prior to 1993 it's a Venture Royale or a 1st Gen. 2 completely different beasts and the braking systems are different. Does your bike look like an 80's Goldwing or a Harley?

I'm curious. I've got a 2003 venture royale. Can I not just bleed the brakes like I do my car. It makes no sense to me to back bleed unless your getting a vapor lock. Gravity bleed works best for me. I'm new to this bike so I don't know about gen 1 or gen 2. Am I missing something. Also I've been told the left brake and rear brake are linked. While bleeding should I open both bleeder attached to hose bottle blocks.

Make sure your coolant is good for -20 if visiting Fools house and I would set it for -40 if he is gonna touch anything connected to the bike. There is a reason that VR club members say he has ice in his veins...

Starting when it is pushed is the weird thing when it won't start when cranked with the starter. Seems like if it was the sensor, it wouldn't matter. But, when it comes to electronic stuff, you never know. Perhaps there is some resistance/corrosion in the sensor connection preventing it from getting enough voltage when the starter motor is drawing down the voltage. wild guessing here?

That appears to be a weird problem. The battery is strong enough to turn the engine over but the engine won't fire??? I think I would check the battery voltage sitting and also when the engine is running to see if the voltages are high as expected. 12.6 sitting and 14 charging. Perhaps load test the battery? I don't know. Weird!

Water was from the carburetor overflow tube I will be starting the tear down after doctor appointment. Anyone got a link for a cheap gasket set. 83 xvz 1200

you know puc i didnt even give those overflows a thought. so that water has to be making its way through the intake passage. If thats the case a head may fix it.
