Reserve Tank Question
Flyinfool replied to cabreco's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
On my 88 the light comes on at 160 ±5 miles and I put in 4.0 ±0.15 gallons. The book says it is a 5 gallon tank. I fill it just to the bottom of the filler neck. So theoretically I have about 40 miles left in the tank when the light comes on, I HATE that light blinking at me so I do not like to push it. That selector is so hard to turn that I like most of us just leave it on reserve all of the time. I would sure hate to break the valve, trying to turn it, out on the road somewhere. -
Get busy, digging trenches, pouring footings, stacking block and pushing cement is a better workout than what you can get in a gym. Then you can find all of the mussels that you were ignoring in the gym.

They are pretty good at knowing when you are on to them and want you to stop bothering them or wasting their time while they are trying to make a living..........

I did use my GPS in an airplane a few times. The peak speed shows as 178 MPH. I had a LEO that stopped me once and asked if he could see the GPS, he checked the Max speed readout and had to agree that there is no way my truck did 178 MPH on his stretch of highway. Since that time I usually clear the max speed after every speed run or passing maneuver. I know that I am not required to allow him to look at the GPS, but that day it was funny and I knew it could not be used against me.

Well I still have not gotten a darn thing done on the bike or trailer. Dang work. But I do have a growing pile of parts to put on. I have the new E3s to put on. I have the new reflector to put on I have the new carb diaphragms to put on I have the new spark plugs to put on I have the new HID driving lights to put on I have almost a thousand LEDs I can put on (might not need them all ) I have the parts to make the center brake light and controller for the trailer. I have my valve shim tool (it is out for testing now) I have the stuff to add lights to my shed so I can work after dark. Now I just need the time to be able to do all of this. I hate working 3 jobs.

Actually it is a good post, cuz I aint got what it takes to find out if she has what it takes to red line 4th and/or fifth gears. But I sure would like to know if it can and how fast would that be.

It is most likely metric. 8mm is very close to a 5/16 course. -
ebay does NOT have an escrow service and does NOT participate in any deals. Period. SCAMMMMM!!!!!!!!

Serious cornering questions tips for an experienced Rider
Flyinfool replied to muaymendez1's topic in Safety and Education
I have found that my "fear" in the corners is the not knowing if there is gravel or some other hazard in the curve. I had a close call with gravel once and it was very scary to have over 1000 pounds sliding sideways in a curve. I never went thru the dirt bike phase growing up to have that instinct built in on how to handle loose conditions. I have found that IF I just rode that curve VERY recently to have some assurance that there is no hazard I will take that curve a lot faster. I will have to get a clutch ordered to go and take the advanced riding course. I have read about to many that wore out a clutch during a course. -
It is starting to sound like I need to start carrying a tripod too now. Shhesh!

I hate people with all of that artistic talent. Only because I have NO artistic ability, and I'm jealous. I guess you have a road/sea trip in your future???? Just go to google earth and get directions, it will tell you how to drive there.......

Go out in the back yard and hump some concrete. There will be plenty of incentive to not quit till it is done once the truck shows up.
