New tires built after 2000 will have a time stamp in the serial number. Example 1506 means the tire was mfg the 15th week of 2006. Good info to know when buying off the shelf tires.

Most of you know my Dunlop D404 is shot after 4.5-5K on the back of the 84. Last year before our trip to the beach and vogel I installed new Kenda Kruz tires on the 89. after 3000 miles I can say the tires still look like new. Handling and ride is good with no problems. The 89 only gets rode two up while the 84 is my solo machine. I bought the kenda's because the price is right and the rear tire is a 6 ply rating instead of 4 with a load capacity of over 900 lbs. I just ordered a new set for the 84. $145 shipped to the front door.The tread depth on the rear is a very deep design. http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/tire-tyre-guide/Kenda-K673KruzF.jpg Kenda K673 Kruz Front http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/tire-tyre-guide/Kenda-K673Kruz.jpg

Who has the best price. I bought it last year for $5.00 a can. Now I have to pay over $7.00. Got to be a better deal somewhere?

I have Dunlop D404's on my 84 and New Kenda Kruz's on the 89.Both tires were reasonable about $135 a set.

A relay is a high current device which can be activated by a low current switch. This permits one to run high current driving lights from the battery supply instead of through the toggle switch.good relays can pass 20 amps with only .03 amps to pull the coil. I have seen dash switches melt or work for a short time and quit from overload. Make sure to fuse the supply line.

I'm looking for a good set of carbs cheap for my 850 project. Trying to get the scoot running for my brother for spring. He needs a bike to learn on before buying what he wants. He gets his learners permit this week.

Allan so sorry to hear of your loss. Debbie was a wonderful person and Ramona often spoke about her from Vogel.Life is so short. Draw strength from family,friends,and the Lord. Let the good times and precious memories help sustain you from here. I to have treasures layed up in Heaven and long for that reunion where death will be no more. Our prayers are with you.

I'm looking for a set of low dollar suits myself. I've heard the Frog Toggs were good but not sure. Interesting to see what others recommend. I need something to keep one cool in those 95 degree showers in Florida this August.

I'm going to try that Rotella Synthetic in all five Yamaha's this spring. I like the idea of just one oil in the garage. Time will tell.

Randy here is a copy of a link i was using. I have a picture of the carb diagram fuel air flow at home. This piece is for the vmax but i think it is the same for venture. Low speed Carb tuning - Justin Lassy The fuel mixture screws are indeed located behind the brass plugs. The brass plugs must be removed to access the screws. Be *very* careful about drilling out the plugs-use a drill stop. If you hit the screws with the drill bit, even for a moment, you risk running the screw down hard against its seat, destroying the screw and possibly the carb seat. Bad. The fuel mixture screws deal w/ mixture at idle and a little bit above idle. They will determine off idle throttle response and extremely low idle cruising. Turn screws in to lean the mixture out, turn them out to richen the mixture. Here are some rough guidelines to determine if you are running rich or lean at various RPM's. Examining the plugs is really the best way to get accurate results, but these guidelines will help you shoot for a direction (leaner or richer). Idle and off idle: Lean conidition: Poor off idle throttle response, idle that flutters a little after a throttle blip then slowly returns to the idle that you've set, popping back through the carbs when the throttle is blipped. Rich condition: Off idle response may be good unless plugs are fouled from a way too rich mixture. After a throttle blip the motor will dive down below set idle and will either die if way too rich or may return to set idle if it can recover. http://vmaxoutlaw.com/tech/images/vmaxcarb.jpg

Randy glad you got it wooped. My 86 Max was set to lean about 1.5 turns. I opened it up to 2 turns with a big improvement. Now set at 2.5 and just starting to get to rich.

Who builds the best trike kit for the first gen?
FROG MAN replied to FROG MAN's topic in Trike & Sidecar Talk
Hey Bikenut that is a great looking trike. I'm definetly interested in chating sometime about all the details. total expenses,labor etc. I'll keep you in mind. one question for now how smooth is it on the highway? fuel economy? does it have a reverse? Oh my that was three questions. -
PETS Are Very Special Often Closer Then Family. Sometimes The Only Friend One Has. I'm Glad The Lord Created Them For Us. Time Will Heal The Hurt And Another Can Never Take His Place But May Become Just As Special. Cherish The Memories.

Are you saying you can buy Ride-on at Walmart?

Just took a peek at some tri-wing industries stuff. Any others out there? Pros and cons of doing it yourself and what about a reverse?If you have one lets see the pictures?
