Duel Problem maybe oil & anti freeze
Eck replied to kj5ix's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
My guess is the aft rear left (drivers side) jug cover seal is leaking the antifreeze, and it is running down to the left rear side of your engine.. Pull off the rear jug side cover (3 Allen head screws) and see if you have antifreeze behind the fin cover..If so then I would guess the rubber seal is leaking. Let me go find the tech article and Ill be back here in a minute to attach the link... Edit; Added below link and photos for clarity. Click on below link and rear the very last section of the last post (#6) done by V7Goose. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=37353 Location of cylinder fin seals can be seen in attached Wood document. Here is another link of someone else having same issue that you can read up on. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=55346 -
Tom, I do not have a picture of our tree but we have the exact same tree top as you do but ours is red with the white fuzzy stuff..

You can have it Tom... Just reminds me, and strengthens my decision, as to why I moved south years ago.. Brings back memories for sure, but I don't want to shovel snow ever again in my life...

I posted this one time before and caught all kinds of havoc, but this works very well to identify WHERE the leak is coming from.. Clean off all of the oil and antifreeze..areas must be dry...then spray the areas you think are leaking with "dry spray deodorant"...yes dry spray deodorant.. Where ever the leak "begins" to appear the deodorant will turn a pinkish color. Now you know exactly where the leak is coming from.. And yes, it does make you bike smell better..... so come on now, let the comments fly.. You can hose off the deodorant with a garden hose..and it will not hurt the paint or aluminum, or anything else between.. A picture would also help to get an answer that your looking for... -
SlyWoody has a good idea here ... Pool Tournaments between STATES.....Alabama v/s Georgia.....etc... Sounds like a heck of an idea...

Meat loaf is my favorite.. Like already mentioned, cold or hot, it always makes a great sandwich.. Left over Turkey is pretty darn good too now...

(Quote): I've been friends with IC23b and 99silver for more years than they will admit they are old. I've been to a couple Meet&Eats and have talked to a bunch of you MI and ONT types. If your looking for sympathy just because you met a those two and a few others, your out of luck..because you surely won't find sympathy here.. Welcome to the VR family...

(Quote): Our garage door works great! I just get these wild questions in my head about certain thing, just a curious mind! So Bobbie, speaking of curious minds, why would you think the garage door opener would act differently in cold weather or differently then any other electric motor when it is cold? Your garage door opener is just an electric motor, same as your electric / gas dryer motor, your house furnace fan motor, the garbage disposal motor, a basic house fan motor, or just like the heater fan motor in your car...except for voltage - 12volts, 110volts, 220volts..etc. Electric motors all act the same in cold or hot weather. They either run or they don't. I guess my curiosity about your question is what part of the garage door opener do you think would act differently in the cold? Poor George, he has to listen to my questions!!! Hey George, I feel for you my friend, but I think you and I are in the same boat at times... Just kidding..

Your like most of us Sleeperhawk.. Waiting for Yamaha to come out with a new ride that puts all the other rides to shame.. If Yamaha does come out with an 1800 or larger Venture, my GW will be sold immediately and I will go out and buy one. I like my GW, but I really loved the looks of my 05 Venture. The Venture has a lot more room / space for the passenger then the GW has..

Got to chime in with my 2 cents worth..... Sounds like your rack & pinion has what I remember it being called as: Morning Sickness Morning sickness is a condition where the steering feels stiff when the car is first started on a cold morning. (not to be related to the female species when impregnated). The normal power assist does not return until the car has been driven for a while and warms up. This problem is most commonly caused by wear in the spool valve housing, which is what I personally think is wrong with yours. Common cause of "morning sickness" is contamination. Contamination can be caused by a couple of things: * your power steering pump could be failing. metal debris inside plugging valves and ports * hoses are deteriorating, cracking, causing debris * the fluid is contaminated by moisture or other substances. A very common known cause of contamination: Having the wrong type of power steering fluid.... how is this possible you ask..? I have seen many times over my life where some young "beginner mechanic" who is checking the oil level, and wants to "top it off', would pour motor oil in the power steering pump because the lil-booger mechanic did not know where the engine oil inlet cap was located on that particular type of vehicle and was to darned ashamed to ask.. This was done on one of my own cars back in the 70's by some wanna be mechanic school kid.. Good luck.
