Most definately yes on the relay. Stock wiring is not heavy enough to properly fire the compressor motor. Advise it greatly for anyone installing an air horn. Dan

Chrome rotor and caliper covers

Shame that's not an 83-85, I'd take them off your hands and give them a good home! -
Good morning Don, we could never hope to understand how you do all you can, and this case is exactly why you have the moderators helping you. Please be assured they will do their best to help you in this situation. We as members will also step up and police ourselves! You need to take care of Job #1, which is your health. Don't worry about us, we will behave (?!) like the responsible adults we seem to be! Dan

Is the fuel pump running? listen for clicks when you turn the key on. Open up a drain screw on one of the carbs and try it again. Put everything together, including the air box and filter, and try it again. These beasts won't run without these things in place. Others will be on with more! Dan

Be a good reason to change the oil and filter, though!

Anyone in Indy willing to help
Dano replied to CharcoalRSTD's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
Hey Charcoal, I'm just east of you in Shelby county, just outside Acton. I've got a set of Mercury sticks and would be glad to help you.Also have the electrical test equipment and I can get the specs off of here. All we gotta do is to get a clear day, I'll be home this evening, cell is 370-0139. Dan BTW, tell them down there at Flatout that you're now a VR member, and if you get any guff, let me know. I deal with those boys alot, and if you give me a call we can discuss. -
Yes. You have to pull the middle gear cover first, then then flywheel cover. You will still get a small amount of oil dribble out, though, so be prepared. Good luck with the job, and ask more questions if you have them. Dan

Good job on the 83,glad to know another one is kept away from the flea-bay boys and ressurected to new life. Dan

Might try to spray some CRC-26 (Lowes,etc.) around the connector to lubricate the plastic. Probably just stuck together and the spray will work.

clutch question
Dano replied to mattevans's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
There is a small wire ring that's holding the last two plates in. Just find the ends of it and pull it out. The square notched plate goes on last, with the wide notch going towards the 2 circle marks on the clutch boss. Also align the double circle notches on the other plates with the 2 circles on the clutch boss. When you reinstall the pressure plate, line up the small circle towards the edge of the plate with the circle embossed on the interior of the clutch boss. You should be able to "pop" the cover to fit in between the "fingers". If not, you must rotate it to fit till it does, or you will not be able to operate the clutch. Good luck, Dan PS, there is also a first gen service manual in the 1st gen tech library on here, under the "Forums" tab. -
I'd like to see what they could do with my 'Vair!

These guys didn't rate high enough to get the VMax to display, it was only an RSV!

Saw an 09 out at Dreyers yesterday, would match my Durango, as it was Champagne with black on the bags, looked pretty good!

Guess the dogs won't try to lay down there anymore!

Anytime you wanna stop by and work on mine, feel free! That setup is looking nice, Bob. One of these days I'll upgrade the front of mine, too. Gotta wait on these rebuilt forks to repay themselfs for a couple years, first! Are you going with the MK11 calipers or the R1s? Dan

I say throw a seat and some wheelie bars on it and take it for a ride! Dan

That may violate his 24 hr ride time!! I do like the "forward rotationally challenged" moniker, tho! Sounds like me when I'm talking to non-technical people just to throw them off further! Dan

Hey Peg, did you take that pic yourself or were you in it! Sorry, I'll take my punishment at M Day! Couldn't resist! Dan

Of course, you MAY see things like this too...........

Now you know why I moved to Indy from Columbus back in 1980! Dan

Remember the wheels turn slowly, but that's for a reason. Justice will be served in due time. He has probably already seen his last bit of free sunshine. Always behind you backing you up, Dan & Rose

One more item to add to the list when I put a trailer on the bike. Good post. Dan

Came home at noon to grab the bike to ride up to Windfall, In. (about 30 miles north of Noblesville on 213). Nice ride up, got into the rain when I got back down to Noblesville, soaked by the time I got home. Great ride, tho!
