OK another silly question. Is there a reason that you are using #10-24 screws and the need to tap out the holes instead of the metric ones that fit the existing hole?

........in gear. -
So I have to ask WHY.

Well what do you like. I can't think of a place where ONLY ice cream falls from the sky, and the only use for the "weather man" is to know what flavor is going to fall tomorrow. But if you find it, let me know, I'll move there also.

Before AND After

Is it even possible to OD on peanut butter cups?????? I don't think so...... We had ZERO monsters come to the door. More PBCs for me.

I start mine as soon as I get it out of the shed and let it run on full choke while I get dressed to ride. 2 minutes max. I then lower the choke till it gets down to around 1500 rpm to get it in gear without the big clunk, then I close the choke back to 3/4 to full depending on how cold it is. I have to be very careful taking off from stops for the first half mile so that it does not stall, after that it runs fine, as soon as the temp gauge starts to move, about 2 miles, I can take the choke off completely and all is good for the rest of trip to work. Yes she is a cold blooded beast, but once she gets warmed up she likes to be ridden.

About to be arrested for driving on the sidewalks "again".

Single for the moment, but she is working on me.......... Even after this....

Hmmmmmm...... Obviously the supervisor needs supervision. Who would use water on an oil fire, SHEESSH..........

The Man Rules At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down Finally , the guys ' side of the story . ( I must admit, it ' s pretty good.) We always hear " the rules" From the female side..... Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! Please note.. these are all numbered "1 " ON PURPOSE! 1.. Men are NOT mind readers. (FIRST & FOREMOST RULE) 1.. Learn to work the toilet seat. You ' re a big girl. If it ' s up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down.. You don ' t hear us complaining about you leaving it down. 1. Sunday sports, It ' s like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be. 1. Crying is blackmail. 1. Ask for what you want.. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it! 1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question. 1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That ' s what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for. 1.Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days. 1.. If you think you ' re fat, you probably are. Don ' t ask us.. 1.. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one 1. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it , just do it yourself. 1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.. 1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we. 1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is. 1.If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that. 1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing ' s wrong.. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.. 1. If you ask a question you don ' t want an answer to, Expect an answer you don ' t want to hear. 1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine.... Really .. 1. Don ' t ask us what we ' re thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as Football or Hockey. 1.You have enough clothes. 1.You have too many shoes. 1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape! 1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; But did you know men really don ' t mind that? It ' s kind of like camping.

You have my condolences on having to admit to your advancing age by getting a 2nd gen. But at least it is red. Red gets you 5 MPH back because we all know red is best AND fastest.

Starter Clutch Mod
Flyinfool replied to Dano's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Snaggles may have had the first starter clutch mod, I think I had the second one. It has been in there a while now and still doing great. -
I DO, I DO shoot them!!! I have one in the freezer so far that I stuck with a pointy stick.
-
When it is cold out, I have to use about 3/4 choke to keep it running till it gets warmed up good. As it gets colder it is normal to need more choke. At least it always was that way back in the day when cars had a manual choke and on every bike I have ever owned.
-
I also have been an avid deer hunter for more than 30 years. I have seen with my own eyes a 10 point buck attack a car that stopped in between him and the doe he was chasing. It was not just a case of the buck happening to run into the car, it was an all out attack with repeated charges. If they will attack a car, I am certain they will have no problem with a bike.

It is the time of year where the deer are just coming into the rut. This means that they will be more active and even less predictable than at any other time of the year. A buck will attack ANYTHING that gets between him and the doe he is chasing. The does will run blindly trying to get away from the bucks if they are not yet ready for what he has in mind. There is no more of the "mostly around dawn and dusk" for deer running across a road, expect them at any time of the day or night. All of the flashing lights and loud noises will not get them to stop from running in front of you. It is totally up to you to see and avoid them, and they may be coming fast. Lets all be extra vigilant out there. The Rut typically lasts till mid to late November. I just heard a news story this morning of 7 people in Indiana killed in their mini van after hitting a deer that left the van disabled in the road and it was then creamed by a semi. Our bikes are no match for even a small deer.

Well he does have TWO cheeks ya know.........

Turn up your speakers......It will be less quiet.

Load resistors are fine for turn signals or even brake lights. But you do not want load resistors for the tail or running lights, It will defeat all of the power savings of the LEDs. So if you are going in to jumper the running lights you might as well jumper everything while you are there.
-
I wish you the best of luck. I've been in your shoes and know it aint fun. All you can do is the best that you can. Hope you can make it to the library often.
-
There are several threads on here somewhere about how to do the jumpers. I won't have time to look for them till later, if you do not find them first. No the extra resistors and diodes that you have left over are not what you need for the load resistors. That would be way to easy.

I like snow. Snow is fun to drive in. I do not have to shovel, I just wait for May and it all goes away.
-
You will need to jumper the CMU so that it does not give constant warnings about burned out tail and brake bulbs. The turn signals will flash really fast if you just put in the LED bulbs. There are 3 options 1. Live with the fast flash. Some people here like it fast. 2. Add in load resistors to get the flash rate back down. 3. Change to a electronic flasher, but this will lose the automatic turn signal canceling unless you also play some other electrical games.
