Slow Starter - When warm
BlueSky replied to SuamicoBob's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I used to work with a body builder. He was having a pain in his elbow when he worked out and the doctor he went to see told him the same thing. Just don't do that any more. -
The failure of Yamaha!

The Harleys had 75hp and that was what they were trying to copy would be my guess. -
Thanks. I thought I was getting even more senile but I went back and reread the his post and he didn't specify what model he is working on.

Here is the old training video on the subject. Now, heerrees PUC!

91 and up Venture starters or RSTD starters or any other bike that has the V4 from what I understand. -
I was in Walmart a couple of days ago looking for motorcycle oil and noticed that they now have conventional and synthetic motorcycle oil in their house brand for a little less. I bought 4 qts of synthetic for my Kawasaki's oil change.

When hot, my 89 barely turns over. It always started but I don't know how as slow as the starter turned it. I bought a used 4 brush starter off ebay for about $50 from Pinwall Cycle Salvage but I haven't gotten around to installing it. It came from a 96 RSTD. -

You're lucky Patch. As I understand, the 91 and newer Ventures have a 4 brush starter. -
That's why men go fishing and play golf! It doesn't matter if you catch any fish or win at golf.

My son started with the purchase of two turntables and recorder and taught himself how to scratch records. Then, he found out about the school Full Sail and asked me to support him through school. I was doubtful since he wasn't a good student in high school but he worked hard and tied for second in his class at Full Sail. Then, he got a job at a studio in Manhatton, NYC as a non-paid intern and worked his way up. If you want to succeed in that business, you have to give it your all and to do that you have to love what you are doing. If you are interested, you can google Stuart White recording engineer and you should find some videos of him being interviewed and mixing music.

I wish I could help. My son is Beyonce's recording engineer/mixer with 2 grammys but I don't know squat about the business. He went to Full Sail, a school in Orlando, FL for their 12 month course back about the year 2000 to get his start.

rubber grommets
BlueSky replied to gregm's topic in Star Venture and Eluder Tech Talk ( '18 - Present)
I bought a bunch of those several years ago from partzilla. They were not any where near that expensive then. Oops! Sorry! I was thinking about my 1st Gen. -
Way Cool! I read today that Tom Cruise got to pilot a jet in the new Top Gun movie.

Pulsating rear 87 VR
BlueSky replied to Pasta Burner's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Brake rotors should be hot to the touch after a ride. Brakes convert kinetic energy (energy of motion) into heat. That's what they do. If you check the rotors temperatures with an infrared thermometer and one or more is very hot, then it's highly likely that the caliper is sticking. -
Are you Canucks upset over the new trade deal?

Welcome aboard! Yep, the RSV is a very comfortable bike. I suggest you go to the tech section and read about the Gen IIs. The rear brake tends to be overly sensitive so you don't want the grippiest of pads. With age the rear shock tends to develop a leak which is something to inspect. Should be capable of lots of pleasure packed miles!

Reads like a political statement Patch

That's a great idea. She would be so poed when she could only go 55 on I40!

I have Superchips programmers for my 02 F150 5.4L and my 05 Dodge Magnum Hemi. The programmers will allow you to raise the speed limit as much as you like. I set the Magnum on 180mph so it won't be limited if I get a wild hair. The truck is a never mind. I baby it for the most part. But, the program added a bunch of torque/hp to the F150, estimated by my butt-o-meter at about 20hp and increased fuel economy a tad. The program for the Magnum was advertised to add 12 hp and 15 ft lbs torque which seems about right. It was mostly noticeable in the improved throttle response. Don't think I need to worry about the warranty on my old faithfuls! My wife's Infiniti EX37 will outrun my Magnum Hemi in a drag race, so I don't want to increase her car's performance! Ha!

Rear valve cover removal
BlueSky replied to suds's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
It's probably covered in one of these videos. I don't know which one without searching. But there are 12 parts. -
Googled the specs. 652cc single cylinder! I would like to take it for a ride to see how a large single cylinder performs. Should be fun to zip around town.

I found this video very interesting. It gives a better presentation of what the Allies had to do to defeat the Germans in N. Africa. You get some information watching more recent movies but this very old video has a lot of facts that I never knew before.

Yep, Techron is good stuff. Techron has PEA, polyetheramine, as their secret ingredient. I also use Gumout for high mileage engines with PEA. I put a bottle in my vehicles occasionally and in my motorcycles, boat motor, yard tools. It't really noticeable in the motorcycles, and small carbed yard tools. It cleared up a miss in my 150hpV6Yamaha 2 stroke outboard.

USA and Canada got off to a rocky start. Our infamous military leader, Benedict Arnold, led a force in the winter to take Canada but failed miserably. British forces that the colonies fought in the war of 1812 came from Canada. Now, we are best buds.
