Front fork rebuild questions
Dano replied to Tupperj's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Hopefully you're replacing the bearings and the races as a set! If not, you're just throwing away the cost of that new bearing. Dan -
I70 should be OK thru Eastern Illinois and Indiana, I would check around St. Louis, tho. Stop by if you come thru Indy, just ring me on my cell (317-370-0139) if you're coming thru..... Have a good ride, Dan

Front fork rebuild questions
Dano replied to Tupperj's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Ever thought about just getting another pair of forks? These tubes might be bent, also. It sounds like you might be into more for parts and damage than you could pick up another set for. Just my opinion, good luck, Dan -
Throttle cable fitting.
Dano replied to woz111's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I believe this may be a newer MK11 throttle cable hookup, as my MK1 has a long rectangular block, not a rotary. Cables come off the throttle (outside of the handlebar groove), around the front of the neck behind the air crossover hose, thru the oval cable hoop on the left side of the frame, then into the rectangular slider and then to the carbs. Hope this is what you were looking for. Dan Everybody secretly wishes they could rebuild and ride a MK1, only a few of us get to experience it!!! Good luck, you can do it!! -
Fuel Tank Removel?
Dano replied to Dakota's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Remove trunk, saddle bags, guard rails,, rear wheel, fender and inner fender. Then remove the sub-frame and pull your tank off. Just watch the hoses and wiring and you'll be fine. -
The banana/twinkie is the long, semi-round, tube lookin, cain't figur' out what that thing does, probably gonna start leakin sometime, always in the way, what a pain to hook-up silver device that sits in the valley of the cylinders. Just about every fluid your bike has runs through here, so look for it to start seeping when you replace your valve cover gaskets, side cover gaskets and everything else that leaks. Don't ask how I know!!!!!! Dan

If Jeff comes thru here, I'll try my best to slow down to give him any messages he might need to get!!!! Dan

That seems to be where the oil mist from the breather tube off the banana/twinkie always goes because thats the kickstand side. The goo will leak out around the air box-to-carb boots and coat your carbs, collecting the floaty stuff in the air. Learnin more stuff, aren't ya'!!!! Dan

You still crack them open to bleed (1/8 - 1/4 turn) and then close them like a regular bleeder when you're done. I learnt you gotta use regular bleeders when your system is dry and you're just re-filling them, then put the speedbleeders in after you have fluid in there. Dan

"I Gotta Quit Doing This!" or "Don't Forget Your Gremlin Bell!"
Dano replied to 86er's topic in Watering Hole
My navigator beats me on the head when I do this!!!! Dan -
The Navigator and I picked up new Scorpion EXO 200's. Love 'em to death. Quick change shields, comes with a visor and a clear shield. Around 150.00. Snell and DOT rated, which is why I bought it. Oh, liner is removeable and washable, pockets already for headsets, just a good overall brain bucket. Dan

Just slow load times here, late last nite after midnight (OK, closer to 1). THis m orning is better. Dan

Not hard to tell which is Carb #1, huh? That slave cylinder looks like mine did. A dentists pick set (Harbor Freight) works great on cleaning out those grooves. Expect the calipers to look the same. Dan

Lowering the front forks
Dano replied to mbrood's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Could you drop them below the ring and then put the rings back on? Just a question/thought. Dan -
The wife and I picked up the EXO200's, takes 10 seconds to change out shields, comes with a visor and a clear shield for about 150. Has pockets for the headphones, great fit. We like them!!!! Dan

I hung mine off the speedo cable loop on the front fender, I can hear it going down the road when I hit the bumps shakin' out all those gremlins!!! Dan
