  1. I guess that it all depends on if there is pressurized oil being supplied to any part of the transmission, if it is just gears running in the sump the trans will not know if the engine is running or not. Cars with manual transmissions can be towed in neutral just fine, it is the automatic transmissions that can not be towed because the bearings are lubed by ATF fluid under pressure. I do not know anything about the lubrication system in a wing.
  2. In his description he says that he has installed it on 3 ventures.
  3. They do have a full menu with other "healthy" options.
  4. My cardiologist has no issue with me eating stuff like this. All of my blood vessels are clean as a whistle. I get yelled at because my cholesterol is to low I have to eat stuff like this to survive. All of my heart issues are due to electrical gremlins living in there. Thats my story and I'm sticking to it.......... gmarshall Come on over, we would love to meet you. You could even have 2 if you are up for it. I wonder how ol cowpuc and yammer Dan would rate this puny lil burger. They both consider themselves burger connoisseurs.
  5. The 747 Burger For the hearty appetite. 2 half pound patties. Cheddar and Pepperjack cheese, Topped with bacon, lettuce, tomato & raw onion.
  6. March is getting real close now. I think I can see another 747 burger in my near future. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=490&day=2017-3-18&c=1
  7. One of these time I sure hope you can make it. You have to stop working your coworkers so hard.......
  8. I might be able to get my lunch in those bags, I guess Erika will have to eat when we get home..................
  9. The tip over switch is what prevents you from laying in a pool of gasoline should the bike ever go down. With out the tip over switch the pump will just keep pumping until it sucks air in the tank. the floats in the carbs can not stop the flow when the bike is on its side. I have seen people take off with a side stand down, it is never pretty. Safety features are not where I would minimalize.
  10. Nice Keep um coming for us frozen folks.
  11. The only way the RR will cause running issues is if it has died and the system voltage is getting to low to make good spark. It is a simple test to check the voltage across the battery with the bike running at above 2000 rpm, it should be about 14V.

    Those lucky dogs........................ We broke all kinds of records for heat this week, and might get 1-2 inches of snow tonight.
  13. Here is a recent thread on this issue. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?112819-LIttle-girl-hands-big-bad-clutch&highlight=clutch

    The FA123HH fits both fronts and rear on a 1st gen MK2. I know cuz I need to get some. I have no idea what the FA197HH fits.
  15. I am in Milwaukee and it is staying north of here we just got a LOT of rain. We might get an inch of snow tomorrow as the tail end comes thru. Unfortunately it looks like it will completely miss Hayward WI where they are trying to hold the biggest cross country ski event in north America, The Birkebeiner. 40,000 people from all over the world are there to ski or watch skiing, and they have no snow. This storm literally missed them by 10 miles to the south. They may get about an inch, hardly enough to support 10,000 skiers.
  16. [h=2]7th annual Mid winter M&E Milwaukee[/h] Well it is time again. M&E for SE Wisconsin in Milwaukee This will be the 7th annual mid winter M&E. OK I have picked a date so you can all start to RSVP. It will once again be held at the Final Approach, 4959 South Howell Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53207 ‎(414) 744-7060 ‎ Time 1:00pm till ???? If you are looking on Google earth, yes they have an airplane mounted on the roof. This is the 7th annual mid March M&E that I am having. It has been a great time every year so far. Feel free to come in a cage. March is not usually good for riding. I will be in a cage and I am only 2.5 miles away. PLEASE RSVP on the calendar so that I can let the place know how many of us to expect. Yes everyone can come, they said that they LIKE motorcycles and don't mind rowdy groups. I hope to see a bunch of you there. You can RSVP here.
  17. Good try, but all the cooling system knows is the pressure differential created by the radiator cap relative to its surroundings, which is PSIG. PSID is when you need the pressure differential between two points where neither is at a hard vacuum or atmospheric pressure. You could have a million and 15 PSIA inside of the engine as long as it was in a room that had a million PSIA and it still should not leak because there is still only 15 PSIA or PSID or PSIG on the seals. PSIA is pressure relative to a theoretically perfect vacuum. Sorry but the mystery continues. The point where the seals decide to pee on the floor seems to be a very critical temperature. That critical temp varies from bike to bike, probably due to individual tolerance stack up and age / condition of the parts. But can literally be if the temp drops 5 more degrees it will pee. Or the bike just don't like being parked in one place.
  18. Good Luck.....:fingers-crossed-emo:fingers-crossed-emo
  19. Usually on these bikes any messing with the air box or air filter will need rejetting. Any drastic changes to the exhaust will also need rejetting. People have tried to drill a couple of 1/2 inch holes in the air box to let in more air and ended up having to seal those hole up to get it to run right again.
  20. In that same area is where the stator wires come out of the side cover, that is a popular place to leak.
  21. Flip the hi lo switch and see if the beam actually changes. But if the white dash light is on, the red warning should be on to. Are you sure that you put all the bulbs back in the correct locations. Try shifting into gear and see if the white goes out, it might be the neutral light.
  22. #2 is the one with the grey wire going to it.
  23. Check the obvious first. Is the hi or lo element of the bulb burned out? Just because there is light does not mean it is ok. The bike will automatically switch to the other element if one burns out, and it will then light the headlight warning. Silverstars do not have a very long lifespan.
  24. There are 2 styles of diaphragms out that I have seen. The ones from Sirius Sonic are direct replacement no modding or hammering anything or gluing. Then there is another one that I a bit different and it does require mods to the slide and being glued are a one time shot, next time you will need new slides. I do not know if these ebay ones are the same as the OEM or the same as the ones that require mods or a third style that is something altogether different.
