Carb rebuilding time?
Dragonslayer replied to a1bummer's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I've got a similar problem with #4 flooding. I'm curios about float sinking and checking float level, How do you do that? -
'86 RSV Driving Lights
Dragonslayer replied to mechanic1's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I found a set of lights in the auto department at walmart for about $15.00, I mounted them low on the front chin top side bolts and they work great. I don't know what watt they are but I direct wired them to the battery with an inline fuse and they do not cause a problem. -
which one to keep?
Dragonslayer replied to Kurt827's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
If you could figure a way to mass produce a few hundred sets of these I bet they would sell like hot cakes. I for one would be first in line. -
Evidently I don't know how to do this or I'm computer ignorant or something cause nothing I did made any difference. I still can't upload photos.

Don, I've been trying to upload photos of the N. Ga. Maintenance day M&E and I keep getting this message that says photos can not be uploaded due to missing security token, check with administrator. Am I doing some thing wrong or is this a glitch because of software update?

Dragonslayer replied to Dragonslayer's topic in Watering Hole
I'm glad to hear that you are doing OK. Sounds like your riding the storm out. I was having nighmares of how my life could go on if something were to happen to you. -
The 84 needs new brakes
Dragonslayer replied to Schlepporello's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I have found the EBC motorcycle pads I needed for my 87 VR a LOT cheaper than the dealership. Less than half. In a scrap in Tucumcari, NM I found a HD Sportster set that were the same thing. -

Dragonslayer replied to Kurt827's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Personally, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to sale either one of them. -
Not a 1st gen guy but dang this is nice
Dragonslayer replied to Mikealiasmike's topic in Watering Hole
I want the trailer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
Once upon a time I had a ignition switch failure. So I dissassembled the switch and cleaned the contacts, put it back together and reinstalled it and everything is still ok. I don't remember it as a very hard operation. It might save you some significant bucks. No telling what Yamaha wants for that switch. But then mine is a 1st gen, I don't have any experience with a second gen.

I was woke up this morning by the leading report on Good Morning America about the record rainfall, snow melt runoff and record flooding in your area that's going on. I immediately thought of you and our other members up in the NorthWest corner of the country. Please respond if you can and let us know if your safe and out of harms way. Or if not what I or others of us can do to assist you if your in trouble. Until I know I'll just pray that you and your family are Ok and out harms way. As I'm sure others will be doing that are reading this post.

Anyone have a spare mirror?
Dragonslayer replied to mtman's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I don't know why Yamaha is so proud of thier plastic chrome mirrors but the reason they are in such demand is that the mirrors are the catch point when these bikes fall over and break fairly eaisily. Happened to me several times. I've since resorted to using a set of aftermarket custom mirrors I found on ebay for a little over $20.00 a set that are real metal chrome and work great adapted to the bases of the stock mirrors. I do happen to have a right side stock mirror in good shape I could let go cheap the problem is it's painted blue to match my bike instead of chrome. I bet you could paint it and your other mirror flat black to match and it would not look odd and out of place. If that works for you I would sell it for $25.00 plus shipping. -

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.......Congrats on the Grandson and tell those younguns to keep trying maybe you'll end up with a Grand daughter. I got to spend some time with my grand daughter on New Years day. I finally got her to start calling me G-Daddy instead of Pa-Pa like the rest of the family wants. It was so neet her telling everyone how much she loves her G-Daddy.

Does that mean that no one is bidding on these bikes? There are several in there I'd like to have but, I checked my crystal ball and I don't see a trip to Las Vegas in my immediate future.

'87 1300 left engine cover?
Dragonslayer replied to Ga Dawg's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I've got one that's in good shape but needs cleanup. the smaller round plate is missing the 1300 in the center square. -
Brakes? We don't need no sticking Brakes!!!!!

I've often wondered myself what the attraction was. Since a rear tire change out is usually over two hundred Dollars and I am worried about getting the most possible miles out of a tire, I don't get it either. I will make these observations though, amongst those friends that get into doing burnouts that I know I've noticed this. They always seem to be the the meglamaniace maccho types that get into this wastefull display. They seem to have more money than sense or want people to believe they do. The women that I've seen do it all had large breast in a small bikini top and at sometime during the burnout find an opportunity to flash thier large breast to the surrounding crowd. The men that do it are often the type that thinks head butting is a contest of the fittist instead of an example of the moronic. Both the men and women that do it don't mind smelling like burnt rubber. Go figure. .

Thanks Don for all that you do to make this group possible.

Have 83 VR handlebar options?
Dragonslayer replied to OldBull's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I didn't like the way mine looked either untill I took the risers and had them professionally dipped and polished. It made a big difference by changing them from an oxidized aluminum look to a shinny bright chrome look and only cost about $60.00. -
front fairing parts (looking for)
Dragonslayer replied to a topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I've got a good left front fairing that is good shape except that current owner spray painted black over and it will need to be repainted. I also have some other body parts that you may be able to use. I'll trade the left upper front fairing for some air brush work on tank cover. PM me if you interested in talking.
