How much stopping power?
hipshot replied to mark reed's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
i guess, because i am NOT a "biker", i have learned to love the linked breaks, on a first gen. i don't compete. i don't speed. i don't get upset, when someone turns in front of me, 'cause i "knew that they were going to do that!" i can't get all excited about "front wheel stands, sliding EITHER wheel, or spinning the back one"! so i guess, me and "granpagak", are a "matched pair"! in my humble opinion, all breaking systems, on bikes, are adequate, if you ride them like you "bought them" instead of "ride 'em like ya stole 'em!" lol no offense intended toward anyone!(even the one who "jumps in front of the bus") just jt- 35 replies

speaking from experience! the very WORST gift you can give your wife, is a card with CASH, in it! you get called all kind of ugly names , for not being sensitive enough to "know what she really wanted". yeah! like i have been a practicing physic for my whole life! if a woman wants something specific, why don't they just come right out and tell us??????? oh , and don't go the EXPENSIVE perfume route either!!! don't ask me how i know that! just jt

hipshot replied to kycaveman's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
man! that is a weird one. have you dismantled and cleaned the "proportioning valve"? that would be my next move. it would appear, that you are not getting the fluid release that is required. i.e. pressure is being held in the lines somewhere. just a thought. just jt -
