    On our Indiana meet & greet ride yesterday, we had 2 new members, a convert to our site who rides an Electra-Glide, and 2 guys riding bobber Yamahas who were googling our bikes as we were checking theirs out. Our presence out there is really growing. As stated by Bill, our "side-lines" members are starting to "come out of the woodwork" and showing themselves. Hopefully this will continue to the Int'l meet next year, I know I'm gonna talk the wife into coming down. Side note----- why does work and personal responsibilities have to come in the way of Ventureriders? Dan

    If it's a "small" light icon, that's the rear brake light. If it's a "big" icon, that's your headlight. The CMU recognizes a set amount of current draw going to these lights as a base standard and when the current draw is less than the set parameters, it sets a trouble code (ie: little red flashing lite and corresponding icon lit). For some reason, it doesn't set a code if the draw is higher than normal. Hope this helps. Dan

    I don't know if they work or not, but they were on my bike when I got it, and any ones I have seen have taken off, most recently on Thursday when we were checking out the Brown County ride. One momma standing in the road coming around a curve, she blasted outta there before we even got close, baby took off the other way. On the wifes vehicle(s), the only one that's never had them on there got slammed in the side door by a deer one evening coming home out in the country. I know that's not definitive proof, just my testimony. The way I figure it, it can't hurt, just like having an extra horn or lights on your bike for the cagers to see. Kinda like the headlight modulator thread. Just my experience, Dan

    Look under VR Tech, 1st gen tech library, towards the bottom you will see "Second gear repair". Click on this link and read up. Dan

    The split clip is visible right on the end of the pinion shaft, if I remember correctly. You should be able to see the clip that holds it all together. There will be some wear evident right where the split clip is in the groove of the driven axle. Dan

    Then I invite you and the misses to come up and ride with us in the morning!! Did not mean anything by the post, hope you know. Just stirrin' up the pot a little!! Dan

    How are you going to push the pinion gear back to get the thrust washer and split clip off of the shaft without removing it? IMHO, you need to pull the bottom off to get in there to do it. Would be interested to know. By the way, you can pull the left rear cover off the motor to inspect the split clip to see how much wear there is on it. Dan

    Oil change with the right oil will probably fix that, we'll talk about it over breakfast. Dan Hey, you're not riding that black 86 I talked to last month at Zionsville and 79th st. are you? your daughter van was broke down.

    Sounds like you need to learn how to wrench and forget about these stealers. It ain't that hard, and if it takes the dealer 3 weeks to screw it up, with all the help on here, we can screw it up a LOT faster!! Dan

    Nice to see you on here, Chris. Guess I wasn't too lazy to get that one done, huh!!!!!!! Thanks out to Jack (Condor) for his help to me once again. Dan

    Keep up the good work, Lutz, he's got a 2nd gen now, he'll be spending plenty of it!!!! Dan

    Yep, think its that boost sensor thingy. No reaction whatsoever when applying vacuum or applying pressure to the tube. Boost sensor thingy is mounted to the left of the TCI, bottom side of bracket. Follow the little hosey thing that comes off of carb #2 (front left) up into the guts of the bike. Where it ends, thats the boost sensor thingy! Now I gotta get me 1 of those. Dan Hummm, just wondering if the little one way valve in the line could be stuck closed???
  16. Dano
    Gotta try that boost sensor thingy, even have to do it off the line, so its consistent across all gears. Tried the carb synch, wasn't it. Dan

    Did you expect any different??????? BTW, got the part in today, thanks alot Jack:thumbsup2: Dan

    I'll give you 100 bucks for the motor, don't blow it up!!! 'Cause when you stick that 1300 in your 84, I'll have the 2nd gear fixed, then pull up next to ya, and blow yer doors off! Dan

    I know I can't roll on the power under 2 grand, it'll pop and backfire on me. Above 2k tho, is an ENTIRELY different matter!! Thats with 93 no-ethanol gas. Dan

    Dragon, gonna hold off on those parts we talked about earlier. THanks for the replies, tho. Dan
  21. Dano
    Only if you put in solid motor mounts. Those bars help to stiffen the frame front to back. Just my opinion, tho. Dan
  22. Dano
    I'll take it off your hands for 200 bucks. I know how you don't like to have "junk" sittin' around!!! LOL Dan PS- it'll take me a week and 100 bucks in parts and it'll be fixed!!
  23. Dano
    Solid motor mounts. There are 6 of them. Go to the Blue Mountain Sportbike ad at the top of the page when it comes up, they have the solid Delrin mounts. It stiffens up the chassis to make your bike handle better. Squeeze Probably has some more "technical"(!!) stuff he could tell you about the mounts and how they work. Dan

    Boo, that's cool (except for the 45 yrs!!!!!), if the timing works out for your trip down on Saturday, check in with us!! Some times for places are on the thread. Ride safe, Dan
  25. Dano
    Put some solid mounts in there while you're at it. You'll be amazed at the difference. Dan
