    Might just need a good greasin' there, huh Squeeze! The zerk fitting on the driveshaft at the pumpkin doesn't do anything, you must pull the pumpkin loose, pull out drive shaft and gease up both ends. Not hard to do, will probably quell the noise. Dan

    Must be rough on ya there, Steve! Hey 'bug, don't you know as an official member of Ventureriders now, that you are legally responsible to chase them down and pester the crap out of them to join the webste?! Dan

    Ditto, same here. Our "Mayor" across the street (ask Squidley!) carries the local armory in his basement. We have 24 hour security and no crime along our road. The only thing we have to watch for is the unlawfull annexation from the "metropolis" (wannabe) down the road. We're already taking steps to mitigate THAT. Dan

    Do you have the airbox and filter installed? These bikes do not like to have unrestricted air.

    oil pressure

    Dano replied to Wulfy's topic in General Tech Talk

    Ebay has a VMax aftermarket oil pressure guage that should work, need to lengthen the hose to mount it, I believe. Goes in place of the plug under the water pump. Dan

    This is something I've been helping Clay with over the past week. We've (He!) has everything else working now and a great fundamental knowledge of these bikes now. Unfortunately, I've never done the master cylinder, so I cannot help him there. Slave works fine, clutch rod comes out the other side 1/4- 3/8ths inch when activated by mstr cyl. Problem is, when he first starts pumping, nothing. 3-5 pumps, it locks up under pressure past the master cylinder, and any fitting or bleeder loosened will alleviate the pressure build-up. We believe it is something in the master cylinder itself not allowing the pressure to return to the reservoir. For once, I'm stumped!!! Dan

    I would look for a bad ground or cracked circuit board on the display,Check small green wire coming from left side under the middle gear drive cover (rear cover on left). That is the neutral indicator switch. It is probably ok since you have indication of 1st, 2nd, etc. on the display, I presume. Have you got the fairing off? If not, remove the headlight and you can reach(?!) most connectors going to the display panel. Check ignition fuses, could have been knocked loose in the tumble. Just a couple more things to check. Oh, I forgot GeorgeS' famous quote of the day, month, year(!!!!!!LOL) Clean ALL your connectors with Electriclean or similar and put dielectric grease on the connections!!! Dan

    Naw, as a matter of fact, cheesecake from your most gracious Sweetnothing will be the ONLY thing that will settle this "sick" feeling in my gut since you disowned us 1st gen guys and went down that "other" road! Well, I should have known that you were starting to "slow down" in your older years and needed a slower bike!!!! That's alright Brad, I'll continue on for 'ya!!!!! Skinny Squidley

    Sub-frame really not that hard to do- a good Sunday afternoon and evening should do the trick. Get that 2nd gear fixed, too. Good winter project to do both things. Dan

    Pretty good pics! My 84 has a cam right behind the pinion, maybe prevents this? Dan

    Squeeze, I have been on the phone with Clay several times, we have removed the shift linkage, shift rod and fingers, rotated the shift cam thru the gears. He can shift by pushing up and down on the finger that goes over the star screw holding in the shift cam (without the shift knuckles installed under left side covers). sometimes having to rotate the drive axle to line up gears. We now feel that it must be contained in the knuckle, rod thru left cover, knuckle up to toe shifter area. He now understands how things work and operate and the correct names of parts (doing very well at this, too!). SInce we had left side cover off, he is going to put that back together sometime this weekend so we can re-check operation. Stayed tuned for further developments!!! We also figured that his thrust washer has been fixed under recall, 40,000 mi on bike, no sign of chatter in second, no visible wear on the split clip at the end of the driven axle. Thanks, Dan
