What about a Garmin StreetPilot? They are easy to use and have all the GPS funcionality that would be usefull. Not some of the other bells and whistles like blue tooth or satelite radio but very good GPS. Not waterproof but could be bagged. Here is one on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/GARMIN-STREETPILOT-C340-V8-TALKING-GPS-DEVICE-TRAFFIC_W0QQitemZ360033320141QQihZ023QQcategoryZ94872QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

What does this button look like? (pictures?) Can it be retrofitted to the first gen? How much did it cost? Inquiring minds want to know...

At the local shop here it is $20 to install a tire if I bring him the wheel. It's around $100 if I bring him the bike.
-
I'm curious if you are taking the bike in or just the wheel in for that tire installation. I know it is much more expensive if they have to remove the wheel from the bike.

This one is MINE

That's AWSOME news Gary!! Congradulations!! Lookin forward to riding with you.

YIKES !! In Ontario we are expecting ANOTHER major storm over the next 48 hours. Up to 50 cm (20") of the white stuff and high winds (70 K / 43 M) Gonna be an interesting day tomorrow. If we get another 50 cm or more in the next few weeks we will break the record for the season. Looks like we could do that tomorrow.

Don is right: Sierra dropped the price about a day after I ordered from Wingstuff and I'm still waiting for that order to show up. It's almost 3 weeks now. Wayne

Second gear \ install issue
Wizard765 replied to Marcarl's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I think Carl sometimes breaks things other than body parts. Maybe he can fill us all in on what happened last night. I wonder if it is why he is looking for part numbers? I AM starting to get nervous. I don't move as fast as I use to so may not get out of the way when things go BAAAAAD!!! I am very interested in seeing Scamper back together though and working like new. The game plan is to do the same for Blondie next winter and with all the experience Carl is getting now it should be a breeze. Wayne -
Hey Carl: I wonder if this would help. http://www.johnnystoybox.com/yamaha_parts_cross-reference.htm Wayne

I have a right fairing from an 84 in two tone Gold but would need paint. PM me if you are interested.

That's EXCELLENT!! thanks

I was wondering the same thing a few weeks ago and the wonderful folks here let me know that most if not all of the people that have used this set are very happy with them and for the most part think they are a great buy. I have ordered those myself for a 3/4 helmet and am looking forward to being able to communicate with the group as we ride. Wayne

I have a 1st Gen venture and aquired a CB on eBay from a 92. My 84 didn't come with a CB. I got a hand held mic with mine that has the 5 pin connector. I have no intentions of using it if you want it. Wayne
-
I believe the firefly is a thin unit and won't be too much resistance. Besides this 1st Gen has enough power to handle it. I really want to stay with one stick and I have the splitter so that should work.
-
Thanks for the offer Hermann: I really want to stay with a 3' firefly because the 4' hits my garage door. The cable won't be any good to me either because my CB in the front fairing and not under the rear trunk. Wayne

Excellent article Carl and NICE pictures too. Thanks. Wayne

Carb Diaphram Replacement

Thanks guys for the response. Ok so what I'm reading here is that I have to replace the whole thing. I cannot just buy an antenna and replace my AM/FM with a CB. It looks like I will have to rewire as well. The CB I got from eBay has a splitter so I'm assuming I can do the single antenna. The Marshal Mod looks like what I want to do. In that description it says to get a 12' premade coax and I'm not sure but 12' seems a little long. Any thoughts? Wayne
-
I was hoping someone could lead me in the right direction. I want to replace my existing antenna with a CB antenna and was wondering if I can get just the antenna and have it fit on the existing bracket. I would really like it if it was 3' or shorter. Any ideas or suppliers? I have asked Sierra MC Electronics and they don't get back to me. Up until this week Wingstuff had a 3' firestick that would have been the perfect solution but has been discontinued by the manufacturer.

Another of God's miracles. Mama and Papa look extremely happy. Congradulations!!! Just one question.. Are you starting your own town? Wayne

Bob: Mother was telling me he has an adapter that allows you to take out the Cassette player and plug an MP3 player in place of it. That sounds to me like a good solution and I'm considering going that way. Cassettes are very old technology and I doubt I'd ever use it. Maybe Mother will chime in here and fill you in. Wayne

I was just having a look at this thread and found it very interesting. In our neck of the woods most bike shops are recommending a product called MOTUL. They make motorcycle specific products such as oil and antifreeze. The stuff I'm using comes premixed (I think the manufacturer knows what is the best mixture for his product) and I don't have to think about what is the best mixture and get it right. Anyhow this is very simple and works for me. Bottle says good to -13F and +271F. It was in the bike when I got it (84VR) and I've changed it last summer. Never had a problem. Wayne

A few of the buttons on my radio didn't work when I got the scoot. I took it apart and soaked them really well in contact cleaner. Made sure it was good and dry before I put it back together and they work fine now. Wayne
