  1. Any thought on the ? above Don?
  2. CaptN, do us/you a favor and take a peek at the intake manifold on the #2 jug on your scoot. This would be the front cylinder on the left side of the bike - left side when sitting on the bike. Locate the nipple on the manifold where you would hook the vac line up to if you were syncing the carbs.. The 83's have plugs covering all 4 of those nipples but the 84's have a vac line that goes up to a vacuum control module on that nipple. Does yours for sure have the vac line attached so it is in fact an 84? Also, does anyone know if there is a way of telling the difference between the 84 and 83 TCI by looking at the unit itself?? All of my Ventures except my first one have been 83's and I think I may still have the TCI/coil rack left over from my 84 in a parts tub - was wondering if there is anyway to verify by a visual? @Flyinfool , bongobobny , Freebird , Prairiehammer ,,, need some GURU
  3. Not sure how I missed this brother but sooooooo glad that all worked out the way they did!! Prayers Up = Blessings Down!!!!
  4. Thanks Snipe,,,, needed that!! Missin my friend...
  5. Roller is your dealer doing demo's on the new Wing??? Our local dealership has walk in demo's on the TC but nothing on the new Wing. Maybe you need to visit us and we need to visit you (I have ridden the new TC but REALLY want to ride one of the new Wings too)...
  6. Comparitively speaking,, I have spent some time on the Suzy 109 and found it to be not that far removed from the 1250cc V-Rod or even a the little motored (74 inch/1200cc) Gen 1 V-Max in performance. I have also ridden the 113 inch TC a few times and would suggest that if you really want to experience/compare the larger cubed TC/Eluder engines performance levels with those smaller scoots listed above (M-109 included) that you double check and make sure your in the "Sport Mode" when you test drive it.. I found "Tour Mode" to be exactly what VentureFar mentions here but understand that Sport Mode = one fire breathing, wheelie poppin machine in those lower gears.. It will be interesting to hear/read your take in Sport Mode in comparison to the 109 that you are familiar with K if you do so. I have no clue how you swap over from Tour to Sport but I believe its just a push of a button = might not be a bad idea to slip over to the 3rd Gen section and ask one of the new owners how to do that so you know the in's and out's before you take off on that baby = wish I would have!!
  7. Now THERE is one awesome riding team = right down on the frame/floorboards in the twisties of The Dragon and even the passenger is as relaxed as she would be sitting home in a chair watchin a movie =
  8. Neil is a spoiled rotten lop eared varmint that Mom always did liked best BUT he still writes the most fantastic, accurate and true motorcycle/motorcycle accessory reports out there = 2nd to none IMHO - ANOTHER AWESOME PIECE OF WORK MY BROTHER!!! NEW PIRELLI'S = You lucky lop eared Ironbuttin Cross Country touring varmint @VentureFar ,,,,,, couldn't have happened to a more deserving chap IMHO = Tip says HI NEIL and sends a huge congratulatory :bighug:your way, Tweeks is asking why she dont get treated so special (try explaining to your motorcycle that we dont get to control who lives down the street from us) and I am totally proud of you,,, ,,,, YES,,, but still very very proud of that far riding brother of mine!!!! Keep up the good work Neil!!!!
  9. Yep,,, our kind of lop eared varmint eh Casey,,,,, suckin every drop out of the goodness of life anyway he/she can
  10. ,,, come on Bongo,,, you know that wasnt me cause you KNOW I take much better care of my can of WD40 than leaving it resting between the beads of my spare tire!!! We were close to Canuckian Land a few days ago though,,,, up at Sault St. Marie for a jaunt
  11. Prayers Up for you and your family as you continue in recovery from the fire and from the heart issues Captn'!! Sorry to hear about the double wammy!! THANK YOU for your service and effort in maintaining our very special free way of life brother ,,, just know your efforts havent fallin on deaf ears or hardened hearts = YOU are appreciated!! About those electrical parts needs,,,, perhaps a detailed list of exactly what you are looking for would help.. You just never know around this joint, I have heard of folks even donating parts just to help a friend get his bike back in service - I know,,, sounds crazy but it does happen on occasion. Besides,, how we spose to know what your looking for if ya dont tell us? Concerning the assistance you have found thru the video's.. Due to recent personal developments I have trimmed back some on sharing my untrained opinions out there in cyber world BUT,,, if you find need of something you think I may be able to help with in the way of advice,, I would be more than happy to produce and post up something for you if it is within my range of expertise.. Probably an even much better way to gain real professional advice though would be to just post the questions here first as I know there are some guru's still hanging out here.. Also,, dont forget about VR Facebook.. I am not a Facebooker but I do know that there are numerous VR guru's that hang out there too!! WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOU GOT ER GOING AGAIN AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY OF READING THAT!!! Oh yea,,,, 's please!!!! Puc
  12. This may or may not help Pat but until the real guru's show up it may at least show what a new stem looks like

  18. My bad Cha,, I should have been more specific,, yep,, .22 caliber pellets - if you look at the pics I posted you can see a tin of them laying on the lazy susan on the table.. Funny thing,,, that little chewin tobacco size tin has 500 rounds in it - figure all the pumping a guys gotta do to go thru that many shooters and WOWZY - thats a fair amount of fun LOL
  19. Absolutely positively SPOT ON Sly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am TOTALLY trackin with ya my brother!!
  20. The Code, U.F.R. (unwritten forum rules) and even common decency to your fellow lop eared varmints dictate that,,,,, ohhh,, never mind,, you know the code as well as I do Sly....
  21. GETS MY VOTE!!! IMHO,, THAT is awesome!!!!!
  22. No ya lop eared cross country riding specialist varmint,,,, no fried chicken,, fried chicken cant be free cause some clucky lookin critter gave its life for it,,, nahhhhh,,,,,,, got check out post 12 and you will see that I wasn't referring to fried chicken
  23. pretty cool ol shooter .. Says its been sitting in his closet for years, it doesnt work and tells me it's mine if I want it.. Yep,,,, she'd still pump but she definitely would hold no air... Checked out Ebay,,, found a guy selling (2) sets of seals for 5 bucks,,, figured he must know me and that it would probably take me 2 sets of seals to get the thing back together once I tore it apart so I ordered em.. The seals were in the mail when we got home from touring our west coast last night so I ripped er apart and at 1:16 A.M. today,,, my new little .22 caliber air shooter went "POOF" for the first time in many years!!! Left it over night with 2 pumps in her and NICE = held air all night!! Pumped her up to 10 pumps and WOWZY,, not bad for a freebie!!! Of course,, nutting ever goes exactly as planned (Murph even LOVES playin with BB guns and he and I managed to break the top off the screw that holds the rear site because I didnt know the screw actually threaded into the screw that held the reciever on (drilled and tapped right into the end of that screw).. Wonder if Ace will have something so tiny (pic of screw shank between my fingers) or if the local gun smith will or if I will have to spend hours and hours and hours online trying to find a Crosman dealer who has been in the business since the mid 50's when they started making these little shooters,,,,, could get even more interesting!! My neighbor said he also has a couple old bb revolver shooters he is gonna give me when he finds em.... Think I will go set up my tent at the end of his driveway
  24. I have one those that I have used, on occasion for hauling and can attest that they do work well.. I am still wondering though,,, is the oil level site window on a second gen located in a different location on the engine case than on a 1st Gen??
  25. While being a full fledged supporter of the "nothings free in water world" as yourself Silv,, as shown in the attached vid at 1:18 on the timeline by the biker on the blue Harley bagger - I was actually given yet another free bird:rasberry: and I can tell you that in my latter years I seem to be getting quite a collection of them at NO charge to myself!! Yea but,,,, IMHO,,, neither Kate nor Edith are gonna work for free, at least those Edith's and Kates who are south of your border IMHO.. Oh,, by the way,,,, it's not we who are on the south side of the border who have funny speaks,,, that would rest with those on the northern side of that border,,, eh
