Looks like 2 person side by side seating with car like seats, a steering wheel on the left side like a car. A center console with radio shifter and other stuff you would normally find in the center of a car. So more like a 3 wheel car than like a motorcycle. At least in Wisconsin if it has 3 wheels it is considered a motorcycle and requires a MC endorsement on your drivers license. Even though it is in reality a 3 wheel car it does not have seat belts (at least the professional driver on a closed course in their video were not wearing seat belts) and the driver and passenger will still have to wear a helmet in states that require it (the driver and passenger in the video were wearing full bike gear). With the bucket seats, I am not sure how hard it would be to bail out if you had to. Many years ago I avoided potentially serious injuries by jumping straight up off a bike so I did not have to take the head on with a 1970's Olds 98 that the bike took. Bike was totaled. I skinned my elbow, and bruised my knee, only gear back then was a helmet.

Does adding choke when it is acting up help it any?

Not to say he is getting old, just like that joke is pretty old. But I'll bet that the first time he heard that joke he laughed so hard he fell off of his dinosaur........ :Happy Birthday:

Does Mama know that you referred to her as BIG MAMA? If not you may soon need to move your backrest a lot forward giving her plenty of room .......

A couple of things. Brake fluid destroys things. Especially paint and the plastic bikes are made of. I cover the fairing with a towel then a sheet of plastic and then another towel. Start at the top. With the lid of of the master so that you can see, and the bars turned full left, do a lot of very short pumps of the lever. you will see very tiny bubbles working their way out of the master cylinder piston. I had to do this a lot with the bars turned every which way to get the air out of the nooks and crannies in the piston. Next, bleed at the top banjo bolt they same way as you would at the bleeder. You will see the bubbles squirt out. Repeat at each banjo bolt in the system. Next I use a velcro strap to tie the brake lever fully pulled and let sit over night. This lets the mirco bubbles work their way to the top. before you release the lever crack and retighten the top banjo to let out the air that rose to the top. You may need to do this more than once with the steering turned full left or full right. All of this should get you some useable pressure.

What trike?

Now that the RSV is discontinued you also have one of the old antiques........

Thank a lot, It's gonna be a long night tonight if I get that channel.

If you want a free scanned copy you can come to my house and play with my scanner and my manual for 180 pages. The print on demand showed as available for my 88 but when it came down to it the did not have it available. After much searching I found an original owners manual on ebay. I am perfectly happy with the PDF service manual that I can store in my phone for on the road or on my computer for use at home. I tend to destroy paper manuals.

Yup, I was glued to the B&W TV in the living room. I wonder if maybe for the 50th if some one will rebroadcast the original coverage, with all of the original commentary and original graphics and animations. Of course nothing would be anywhere near today's broadcast standards but I would watch it again. I'll bet it would get watched with good ratings, again.

Same result here. I always ran Valvoline MC oil. Last year I got a deal so I tried Amsoil in my bike. While I did not notice any difference in how it ran, MPG, or noises, I did notice that almost every original seal and gasket on the engine started to leak oil. This year I went back to the Valvoline and my leaks are all slowing down. I do run the Amsoil gear lube in all of my gear boxes that use gear lube on the bike and cages.

Since you live way up nort in MN. You may want to consider giving up a little gas mileage for either 4 or all wheel drive. You know you will have to make that trip in a blizzard at times.

:rotfl:

MMMmmmmmmm........ Blizzards, I like blizzards. Haven't had one since March, may have to conjure one up.......

I'm with you on working under the bike. Cars are not an issue because I know that no matter how aggressive I get with a wrench under there, I can not flip the car over. I would bet that I can pull hard enough to tip a bike over.

Normal LEDs in modest amounts is the key. That is why I said "Some people would be surprised at just how much power even LEDs can draw." It is not that we disagree, I do agree with you if we include your disclaimer. But then I have never been accused of doing anything in a "normal" way. My trailer is all LED, In modest amounts, but not normal. I have all high brightness LEDs. My trailer has only one fixture more than the minimum required by law. and that one more is a center brake light with 3 running LEDs and 8 more that come on bright with the brakes. My trailer pulls 3.5 amps with all LEDs lit. That is 49 watts, almost the same as the headlight. This would be withe the brakes on. That is a lot for our wimpy electrical systems. Some of the newer High output LEDs actually pull more power than the incandescents they are replacing. Each person must evaluate the combination of parts that they have chosen for their trailer. The better quality stuff will tell you its power requirements and light output.

It depends on where the nail is and how straight it went in. If the nail went in at a big angle and/or is not near the center of the tire, then I would replace the tire. If the nail went straight in near the center then I would get a T patch.

And then make Tweeks and Tip watch you stuff groceries down yer neck. I see her behind you with her mouth open wishing she had a burger too. I hope she smacked you. Shame on you............

I never had to try it but I read some where that if you just have the screw from behind the glass (all you see from the bottom is the threaded end of the screw) you can use a Dremel to grind a slot in the end of the screw to be able to use a flat screwdriver to tighten up the screw.

Installing an isolator is not just for if the trailer wiring shorts out. After all that is a very low probability failure mode. The biggest benefit of the isolator is take the load of the trailer lighting off of the bikes electrical system. The wire sizes and the switch contacts are just enough for the bikes stock lighting they are stressed to carry a lot of extra load. Some people would be surprised at just how much power even LEDs can draw. So even if you are doing a 5 wire trailer it is still a good idea to use an isolator.

The clutch switch just plugs into the housing. Maybe it just pulled the switch out of the hole and just needs to get pushed back in? It may be possible that the clutch lever is bent causing the binding?

Don't encourage him......

This is the second time you mentioned a clutch cable. The venture does not have a clutch cable, it is a hydraulic clutch. Do you mean the clutch line was broken? or one of the electrical cables that go up near the clutch lever? Or was this not your Venture?

Ouch! That hurts just thinking about it. So if it wasn't just grass there, what was hiding there?

It least feeling stupid is the easiest injury to heal. Glad you did not have any physical injuries. The donate button is in the top right corner.
