Why,,,,,,,, yes Bongo,,,, you would be the first one that the Professor would have brought into question in regard to psychological understanding...

The variety of perception that we possess here on VR is amazing.. I could have formulated a Master's Thesis on a psychological study on just those 4 responses.. :rotf::rotf:

Hi Rick Its very possible, especially if your new to these bikes, that you are hearing the notorious Venture whine.. If its happening in lower R's and then goes away as you run up the R's in all the gears thats probably what your hearing.. Take a look a pic below, thats a bike with well over 200,000. It is my 5th one of these old Ventures that I have taken to over 200k, THEY ARE VERY WORTHY BIKES!! I can hear your bike SCREAMING at you to go chase down that adventure you are talking about.. If it were mine (I have one screaming at me too) I would check some of the following before I headed out.. Put a good battery in it. Look closely at the fuse panel mounted above the battery, make sure that things in there look clean and in good condition.. Bike on center stand, check brake pads for wear, engage the rear brake - release and spin rear tire to make sure its not dragging. Do same on front end. Do air pressures, check tires!! Drop in a new set of plugs. Get a carb sync done. As already mentioned, change oils.. Dont forget to check brake/clutch res's.. Look closely at changing out at least the clutch master fluid.. That fluid tends to take a beating.. Look closely under the carbs for cracking in vacuum lines/hoses.. Check water cooling hoses for same.. Check front fork seals and for sag,, if its sagging,, progressives springs work wonders.. Adjust the bars so they fit YOU.. Apply for xtra vacation time, take along some xtra cash cause once set up that Venture aint gonna be happy about just one trip from Idaho to New York... Have fun out there,, maybe we will cross paths this year!! Puc

Shared this with a good friend recently,, he concurred it was great read!! I am sure that a lot of you gear headed yahoo's have already seen this,, maybe even contributed to it (if so - THANKS).. Lots of really good info!! ENJOY!! Puc http://www.bergall.org/temp/venture/venture%20tips.html

Glad you decided to stay Godlover. I hope/pray that God leading you on that decision becomes one that you actually find this place as an encouragement in your ministry.. Puc

Been gone but still been praying!! Prayers Up, Blessings Down!!

Oh man I wish I could have caught this before you changed your name Money.. I know Yammer Dan and there aint no way you would have infringed.. Yammer Dan doesnt even know who the real Yammer is,,,,,, now that I think about it though,, probably a good thing to change it like you did.. Less chance of getting blamed for something you didnt do.. TO VR!!! See ya on the road! Puc

Heyyyyyy,, wait a minute here,, I thought they closed the Myrtle Rally.. Last time I was down for that one there was a huge up roar about kicking the bikes out and I am almost sure they did,,, what the heck - another old age brain glitch?? I gotta get out more:backinmyday:

Thinking the same thing Pete.. Does look like a BLAST though!! Be a RIOT to coast into a Meet and Great with one of those puppys,,, tent hanging on the back, Tippys hair flappin in the wind,, just flyin with the birds:cool10:

Been busy with work the last couple days,, all I could think about was hoping this thread didnt close yet,, must be my competitive spirit... I guess the nobody made a cash offer big enough to close it:confused24:

Indeed Doodler,, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY~~~

Glad you (and Godlover) decided to stick around Silver, I agree with what others have said about this site being about wayyy more than what type of bikes we ride!!! Concerning air cooled/oil cooled/water cooled bikes.. In the dirt bike world (made my living spinning wrenches on/selling MX bikes back when the sport was hot) the air cooled bikes had to have looser tolerances than those of water cooled bikes.. The closer tolerances possible with water cooling allowed for the faster/higher revving bikes like the new 4 stroke dirtbikes, the crotch rockets and stuff.. It also allowed them to become very efficient compared to the counterparts.. I have a hunch (my opinion) that one of the main reasons that HD is fooling with water cooling their exhaust valves has more to do with being able to pass emissions (run em leaner/more efficient), get more power out of the displacement.. Personally, it amazes how far technology has taken us in motorcycling, I cannot think of one of the modern day bikes that I wouldnt be proud to own and ride.. The main reason that I love and ride these old Yam V-4's is because of their affordabiliy and that allowes me to ride more.. If I could afford it I would be like Jay Leno and have one of everything,, including a Victory Vision Then I would ride a different bike everyday, camping all across the country, going from rally to rally playing with all my good friends and family found on here CAUSE for me,,, THAT is what its all about!!!

Brother I KNOW the feeling!!! I blame it all on the longgggggggggggggg winter we just went thru.. Now we gotta all get saddle broke all over again.. Best wishes with your DR.'s appointment Oldgoat!! If something works,, please let me know!!!

Working my butt off (my busy season), gone for 2 days hauling bikes,, come home BEAT tired and WHY on earth is this first place I check when I jump on line,,, why doctor why???

Probably for the same reason you switched to a 2nd Gen:dancefool: I love being a Why's guy,, it sooo much fun..

WHY?

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: RATTTSSS,,, THOUGHT FOR SURE THAT WOULD DO IT!!! Welll,,, we tried everything else,,, lets see here:scratchchin:,,, how bout a cash offer:bluesbrother:

Just dawned on me,, this thread has a phenomenal reverse psychological spin to it,, let me explain (you dont have to let me,, I gonna anyway - you will understand why I can now be free to do so in after you read this)... We have this thread going that consist of one of us being a "winner" by saying something we are not suppose to be able to say and therebye getting the thread closed by a moderator.. One person wins, that makes the rest of us losers.. Now if I were a moderator I wouldnt want to choose 1 person to be a winner and thereby leaving 99.999 percent of our membership mad at me for not choosing to close the thread on them and thereby making them the winner instead of the guy who won,, in fact,, my choosing the one who won would actually be selecting 99.999 percent of our membership losers. I think thats why this thread hasnt been closed yet... Hey DragonSlayer,, you may not be the greatest thread killer BUT you are the first person in VR history who has,, be it by serendipity - or by sheer advanced intelligence, the first person to figure out a way to get around all applicable VR rules/regulations concerning what/can and cannot be discussed on the board and have singlehandley created a thread wherein we can now discuss anything and everything we want without the thread being closed.. You are amazing Dragonslayer!! Oh yea,,, BUMP Ps, you mentioned me running for President in a past thread,, au contraire monsieur,, YOU should be our next Secretary of State!!! Let er buck guys,, its party time!!!

Mr. Moderators,, please see my thread posted before Syscrushers and close this thread.. Thank you for being kind.. Puc

Prayers Up,, BLESSING DOWN!!! Nite Neverland..

Their all doing their derndest to be the last person to post something and get the thread closed,, who ever succeeds earns the title of Master Thread Killer and wins the championship... Personally I take great offense to people talking about my dear President Obama like that.. My heart is hurt and so are my feelings.. I think this thread should be closed before more people like me are injured by this discussion.. I strongly urge one of the moderators to step in and kill this thread.. Please do so before any more posting are allowed.. Thank you for being respectful to my feelings.. Sincerely Puc

Sure there is,,, why not ice cream..
