Brother that sounds like a speedo!! These 1st Gens are KNOWN for chirping speedos (and SQUEELING if they get real dry - especially when cold).. Net time it happens watch the needle and see if you pickup and strange movements as its happening..

very hospitable and

Just make sure you store your Dynamite far away for the torch will ya Fool? I finally got all the White Wash cleaned up you managed to scatter all over my yard over here on the other side of the pond and really dont need to now spend the summer cleaning up demolition debris from more of your experimental projects blown easterly:stickpoke::crackup::crackup:

Slag,, if you fast forward thru the nonsense in this video to about 40 seconds and listen carefully you can hear the typical whining of our 83. What your hearing there is normal clutch whine that the 1st Gens are known for. There is also a very distinct water pump "chirp" that I have always experienced in my 1st Gens but usually that is most noticeable at an idle... Both very pleasant sounds to an ol Venture rider like myself...

our kinda folk!!

RATSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS,,, title makes it sound like this could have been a fun thread Trader!!! Deleting this thread was not very,,,,,,,,, ,,, heyyy,, wait a minute here,,,,,,,,,,, now who's not being very nice - eh:rasberry::rotfl:

Colonel Sanders even looks like

I have test ridden (basically spent some days playing on em) those cool scoots at our local Harley demo/free Pizza days a number of times and have always been impressed by em. They are sort of a mini-VRod. GOOD performers HP wise and FUN riders!! Really spunky for a 750.. IMHO though, I have a hunch that HD is experiencing the same thing with them that they experienced with the V-Rod and the Harley Buell, that is low sales due to Harley buyers not really seeing that neat little bike as a real Harley BUT - that is just my opinion based on my very limited exposure to the Harley world. Our local HD dealership has finally worn out the little Buells they used on their rider training courses and are now using the smaller version of the 750 (I think they are 500's) exclusively.. Basically, besides during demo days when all the big inch Harleys are being ridden so us regulars gotta ride the 750's if we wanna go play, I have never actually seen a 750 or a 500 on the street.. On the same token though,, I think the design is a very formidable one.. Lots of motorcycle there for the money!! I know if I had one I would ride the wheels off it!! Concerning the Yamaha Bolt,, sort of the same thing.. It is interesting,, the Bolt started out at around 7 grand for a new one when they were first released. I now have seen em as low as 5 grand for a new left over. Seems to be a tough market for sure.. Shame too cause, IMHO,, that Bolt is also a really neat - well made scoot.. Ya know Wiz ,,, reading all the jibberish I just wrote:scratchchin:,,,, lots of meaningless opinion right there - eh:big-grin-emoticon:... Love me inspite of ways will ya brother?

WOW ZZZZZZZZZZ WOW WOW WOW :178::178:,,,, that does actually appeal HUGELY to my inner soul Tooch!!! After spending a lifetime racing MX, Harescrambling, riding Enduro's (an Enduro race is not really a race by folks who compete because its riding against a clock - not other riders,, kind of hard to explain but thats the way it is) and single tracking across America on a dirtbike I had to give it all up because of health problems. 5 back surgeries after a car accident in 2003 and I had to hang up my MX boots and accept street riding for more motorcycling fix. Now you come along with this option my friend!! An option where,, if I did fall I would be falling in water where, if I didnt drowned, I would probably still be able to walk again!! Oh heck yea,,, LOOKS LIKE A RIOT!! Indeed Dave,, THAT sure looks like fun!! Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap,,, braaaaaaaaaaap!!!

Very very well put MiRider:clap2:... I did notice something missing though so, and I hope you dont mind, I took liberty to make a small correction..

Carl and Marca You have our deepest condolences at the passing of Marca's Mom.. It sounds like she was an amazing women who knew exactly how to live and what our time on earth is all about. God be with you both and all your extended family as you work thru the loss of such a lovely Lady and rejoice in the fact that you will see her again some day!! Marca's Mom,, now that you are officially part of the great cloud of witnesses,, I dedicate this song to you!!

I dont believe in slowing the traffic down when I go around Chicago either Lug = I know officer,, I know,,,,,, but I just cant stand back biters and I have found if I keep this beat up ol Yamaha's tach at 5500 it cuts way down on the potential for those back biting texters to be able to do their thing

WOW thats AMAZING Or = CONGRATS on the new knee and CONGRATS that everything went so well my friend!! IMHO,, it is ALWAYS a pleasure reading success stories like the one you wrote!!! All the best as you continue your therapy!!

Purdy scoot Godlover!! CONGRATS!!

Thanks Sky!!

and Hot Bikes

Fool you dont how :happy65::happy65::beer::beer::cool10::cool10: I would have been to have had a couple lop eared VR engineering Jeff varmints show up and drive off with my Crud ... I was tempted to make some changes and make it happen but a deals a deal... Of course there are ALWAYS those Puc's Meet-Greet and Eat Meat venues coming up,, wonder if an engineer or two from Cheeseland would have a clue what to do with a fresh Michigan outcropping of 1/4 pound, all you can eat, Hot Dog.

Yep,,, I loved Crud,, he was my friend....... Crud - a poem by Puc When it came to those V-Rods ol Crud would just grin, his V-Boosted motor would cut their times thin. If 6 grand came up on his sweet little tach, you'ld better hold on or you'd be on your back. He wasn't real pretty or decked out in bling, but brother those SuperTrapps sure made him sing. In all the encounters of my biking years, selling Crud the ol V-Max has left me in tears..

Well yeaaa Dogman,,,, if Elvis is willing to make the trip back for one of these awesome Hot Dogs I can certainly see why you would drive in from Canada for another round Tip says HI and for me to tell you that regardless of what I am typing, you are always welcome:confused24:!!

:rotfl:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mo3pIV1CLrQ Yep,, :bawling:,,, thats exactly what it means Jeff No more Crud for me either brother...

Mrs. V., my wife, Tippy, and I would like to send our deepest condolences to you and your family at the loss of your husband and our friend.. Thank you for sharing Vicco with us. He will be sorely missed and leaves an unfillable void in the roads ahead. RIP Vicco Scott and Cheryl Barnhard (aka - Puc and Tippy)

grilled to perfection

:scratchchin:Well that was about as easy as going over backwards on a dirtbike:missingtooth:!! Man I love this place,,,,, and our VR management are pretty good varmints too:big-grin-emoticon:

Thanks Boss - headed there now - YOU DA MAN BROTHER!!!

Maybe I am misreading this Fi but maybe not so I thought I oughta say something.. The choke lever is held on by one little screw, you might try just tightening that little phillips screw and see if that tightens the choke lever.. If it doesnt, it is possible that someone got cable lube into the mechanism and that is why its not staying where you put it.. If it still wont stay where you put it you might try removing the screw and pulling the lever out, then clean the back of the lever area and mount with carb cleaner real good. If that doesnt work I wonder if you could shim it with a nylon washer - take a couple quick readings with a set of verniers and shoot down to your local Ace Hardware and pick up the thinnest nylon washer you can find - 10 thou would be nice.. Put that shim between the lever and the base and it should tighten it right up.. Worth a try!!
