Does anyone know where I can pick one of these up ---cheap?

So how does it look and work? Have you put it on yet?

A picture would be great. Also, I don't know who to ask but ---I think this thread should be moved to the 1st Generation Venture Tech Talk forum. If the Canadian product is good, others will want to know about it.

How does the quality of the adapter made by the Canadian guy compare to the Rivco product?

I kind of have the same problem - about 50% of the time. The system pressurizes fine in the ACC position and holds the set pressure in the Front and in the Rear. When the key gets switched OFF and then to ON, I hear the solenoid release the air. The pressure in the front goes to 0. The back holds the set pressure just fine. I don't remember this being a problem until I changed the fork seals last spring but then again the CLASS system has always been quirky. I'm not sure if the problem is in the board, the solenoid, or wiring somewhere. Any ideas would be appreciated! I did resolder all the joints on the CLASS board and it didn't seem to help. (It did get rid of the error codes however). I probably will redo them all again in the spring and see if it makes a difference. I wish there was a simple and cost effective way to bypass the CLASS electronics and update the system with something from the 21st century. It is a bad design that doesn't hold up well with road vibration and the like.

Checking with a handheld GPS, my 88 VR reads about 1 mph to 1.4 mph high at 45 mph. (i.e 45 indicated on the speedometer is about 43.6 mph on the GPS). I believe that the tolerance in new automobiles is plus/minus 3%, so my VR's speedo error is in the ballpark. Let me know what you find out re: the fuel level sensor. The last half of the tank seems to go faster than the first half does.

Thanks -- I'll give it a try and let evryone knows if it worked.

With the CLASS (air suspension) system on my 88 VR, I have been having some problems. They are: - Sometimes no power going to it and nothing happens. (Yes the Red/Blue wire haw power with the key in the ACC position) - Sometimes I get an E4 code - When it does finally work, I can pressurize the front and rear with the key switch in ACC. However when I turn the key from ACC to ON (or to OFF), I can hear air pressure released behind the seat when the key is put back in the ACC position. When I check the pressures, the rear pressure is where I set it but the front pressure reads zero (and from the ride, it is really at zero) What seems to make it go between these three modes is when I disconnect/reconnect the connector on the backside of at the control panel (right side of fairing) or wiggle the same connector a bit. Also, I just change the front fork seals and dust covers and didn't even touch the electronics or the mechnicals (pump, drier, valves, solenoids) for the CLASS system. Before I start taking things apart, does anyone have any quick and dirty ideas? I'm thinking there is a loose connector on the board and I may have a solenoid in the back that is sticking -- but I'm really new to the Venture and I'm just guessing at this point.
