    The only other thing that will illuminate the leds is some type of capacitor, but it should have lost its charge by now, unless somewhere there is a small dry cell that holds memory while the battery is disconnected and the popping sound you heard is indicative of another problem.
  2. Dano
    Dumb question, do you still have the trickle charger hooked up to the wiring?

    Way to go Brad, I bet Lonnas glad you're gonna be outta the house for awhile now! BTW, aren't you supposed to be at work right now???????? I guess we'll have to listen to you moan about not being able to ride now, what with work and all..........

    Hey Dan, where was Shari at during this time Brad's in Milwaukee? I'm just sayin.........

    Gues he just wanted to tease us with that smoked brisquet comment, just like Dale......... Bobbi must have been gone to the store at the time...

    That just takes all the fun out of it! Glad you had fun and a good hook-up with those guys, can't believe Naugh-T didn't ride that new bike! Oh, wait a minute, maybe Brads still fixin' the paint from that rollover!

    Welllllll, look who they had haulin' it! I'm just sayin', that's all! I see plenty of the up armored new style personnel carriers going thru Indy on there way somewhere, looks like they'd be fun to try out, but I doubt they would let me , either!
  9. Dano
    OK, I stand (or sit rather!) corrected on the washer, I've just never seen that much gap between the carrier and the swingarm.
  10. Dano
    I would have thought that you guys would've tried that rig out in the woods after lunch, what good is transporting a rig like that and not having some fun?!!!
  11. Dano
    It's not done right, the swingarm should be up against the brake mount, the washer needs to go against the hub. Here's a couple pics of what it should look like. I know mine doesn't look the same, but this is off a MKII and my MKI looks the same, 'course I don't know what bike you've got.........

    Hey Dale how's it going? Long time no hear from. I trust that you Bobbi and Haley are doing just fine(?). Long time since we've seen you or Cinderfella on here, it was kinda getting boring with just that Big Tom fella walkin' around here with his red panties on.........

    Glad you had a good response with them, they ae a local dealer to me and I have worked with Chris numerous times over the years. I keep stressing to him the importance of keeping our members happy!

    Good going Jeff, I thought I'd surprise you and not let you know it was coming! Ya MIGHT get a couple days of riding in if you get busy and get that thing installed!
  15. Dano
    Must be nice to have playtoys like that at work to use!! Looking good!
  16. Dano
    For us regular size guys out there,,,,, I'm just ordering 2 larges with no pockets:dancefool:
  17. Dano
    The backrest itself will work, but you have to have a mount from a MKI to fit the 83 tho.

    Hey Don, if you're ever in the neighborhood and wanna re-live your youth a bit, I still have my 77 IT400 out in the shed, the boy won't let me get rid of it............ Of course tht pic with him was taken a few years ago, he's now big nuff to start and ride it himself, he did that last fall when I wasn't around....

    Didn't see this thread out there before, but anyone who knows someone with the starter clutch problem be it 1st gen Venture or Vmax, this mod does the same for both. Feel free to pass out my contact info: danob11@comcast.net email 317-370-0139 cell One reminder tho, the price for non-VR.org members is $295.00, gaskets priced the same at an additional $15. I do appreciate a heads up when someone is going to send their rotor to me, as it helps to make sure I have parts in stock. I want to thank all of you for your help in getting the word out on this repair, the more we help, the more that can ride! Dan
  21. Dano
    Yes, it'll work. Years are 83, 84-89, 90-93.

    With the high idle, lack of power over 85 +/-, little popping etc, I'd have to say the carb synch is way off. One of the main indications is the high idle. Make SURE there is some play in the throttle cables, they may be getting too tight (adjustable nut just inside the left lower fairing, follow the throttle cables up). If you have cruise, you can adjust at the throttle grip also. Maybe about a 1/2" twist of the grip should be play. When you do your synch, just remember that all carbs must match the front left (#2) carb. Do the left rear first, then match the right side carbs together then match them to the #2 carb. Probably take you a half hour the first time. Oh, you'll want to make sure you keep the idle around 1000 rpms (right Squid?!) as you're synching the carbs. Thank goodness you're doing a first gen or you'd also need a 5' long screwdriver to do a 2nd gen!

    You just need to move down here where it's warmer and cheaper Charlie! You could actually get some riding time in then!
  24. Dano
    When I saw the thread title, my first thought was---- Well, Jay done went and kicked the wrong guy in the *ss again! Glad to see it wasn't that and you'll only be down for a bit. Looking forward to seeing you again at MD or where ever down the road!

    Might also be a balancing problem too.......... If you do the bushings in the shock links like I did when I rebuilt my bike a couple of years ago, make sure you drill and put some zerk fittings in there then re-grease them every year. These bushings will dry out quick because of the elements that get splashed on them from the tire. Not to mention the sand, etc. that will help wear them out.
