2nd Gen owners... You may have a slow water leak.... and not even know it. This slow leak can only be seen when the fuel tank has been removed because of its location. The water hose clamp I found leaking is located just above the right hand side engine dog bone. The leak will appear as a white powdery substance on the rubber hose, or on the hose clamp. You may even notice a spot or two on the TOP of the rear valve cover located on the right side front jug. Look carefully because it looks like dirt. I was able to turn the clamp tightening screw about 6 turns before it finally became tight on the hose. NOTE: Do not over tighten the hose clamp where it cuts into the rubber hose. I enclosed this picture to help you see what it will look like.

I am not aware of one myself, but hey, I am still learning all th ehidden spots of this site as it is.. I will be watching this post...cause I am one of those "patient" ones who changes the phont and color of every post... and I always ask myself ...why am I doing this..

Barend, Not sure if you have tried this yet, and I am sorry if you have and this is not the answer your looking for.. If you look at the top (right) of your posting, you will see a tab called "Display modes" You can click on that tab and change from Hybrid mode to Threaded mode. One of them lists the full tool bar to the left hand side of the screen. This may be of some help with your request. Again, if this is something you have already tried, please discard my reply, and someone else will jump in shortly that may be of help with a better answer. Until then.... ride the threads safetly... !!!!!!!!

Cougar, You have another p-email..... Oh Cougar, one more thing... No need to pay attention to DaveCB's email.... here is why... See, my poor ol-friend Dave doesnt have time to be buying any more bike parts. Dave already has a big "pile" of brand new bike parts that he hasnt even installed yet and the parts are all still in thier packaging.. OH wait ..there is more.. My buddy Dave also has a brand new condor stand and a brand new floor jack that he hasnt even used or figured out how to use,(but he is having a problem with the condor stand..), and if memory serves me right (which I'm sure his wife Dakota will back me on this one ), is that Dave also has about 6 brand new ceiling floresent garage lights still sitting in thier boxes on the floor in his garage along with the new wiring and electrical outlet / switch and box that the poor man hasnt put up yet and then of course there were some other chores the wife mentioned......but I think you get my point.. So Dave, ol-buddy, ol-pal, I'm sorry my friend, but I just had to send Cougar a P-email to see about some parts that I could install.... AS SOON AS THEY ARRIVE.... Oh Dave, My offer to help you install those chrome parts and garage lights still stands if you ever need my help..........

Anyone here know a guy by the name of DragonRider........???????????? -
If I EVER did go after a Harley, it would be the road glide. I have a friend who shared many a mile together with and he rides a road glide. His road glide is a dang good running and looking bike, very dependable, doesnt leak any oil, and the sound system is more than up to par.. The only thing of concern I have seen, and effects all road glides, is the right hand side forward amber marker lens located on the right hand side frame that comes down from the tripple tree in front of, and back under, the engine. The plastic marker light lens has a tendency to "MELT" from the heat off the exhaust pipe that comes out of the right side forwad jug. There is about 1/2 inch of spacing between the two parts and every road glide I have looked at, the corner of this marker lens has been melted and bubbled up. From what I heard, (hear say only), HD is supposed to come out with a recall on this to add a small heat shield on the backside of the lens housing...

Hard Starting after sitting
Eck replied to rez's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Roadkill, It would have an effect unless the carb bowl jets didnt seat properly, and leaked gas into the cylinders..there by flooding them. You would smell gas.. As you know I have an 05 RSV, and I have left the pet cock valve open on mine since day one and I only move it to reserve when I have to.. Once I fill back up, it goes in its normal open position and stays there...and I have never had any problems with mine starting from doing this. Many here leave theres open too. In his case, I believe it would be the holes (or cracks) in the rubber Carb Diaphrams, as was already mentioned above -

Dont feel bad.... I did the same thing the first time I loaded my bike into my enclosed trailer, but I didnt have the hitch hooked up to anything...duh.... Just wasnt thinking at all, and when I rode up the ramp door to the point where half the bike was in and half was out the ramp door went down against the driveway, and the entire enclosed trailer went up in the air and almost flipped over backwards on to me. I could not back out of the trailer because the part over the top of the ramp door was against the "rear side" of my windshield and the front tire was on about a 40 degree angle UPWARDS, The tonge of the trailer was pointed way the heck up in the air.. Talk about being stuck... I gave her a whole lot of throttle and let out the clutch and rode the bike all the way into the trailer until the front tire hit the front wall.. The trailer tonge slammed down against the drive way and I thought my bike was going through the plywood floor... I hit the kill switch as soon as the tire hit the wall, and realized the bike, trailer and I were all right.. My wife stood there in shock at first then laughing like hell at one stupid man.. From that day on, I always put jack stands under the back every time I rode the bike in or out. And as one above stated: Sometimes I felt kinda finicky for doing that, but I knew it was a whole lot safer..

Hey BuddyRich, Now you went and done it... Guess you enjoy a stirred up a hornets nest.. You might want to start wearing that helmet of yours even when your NOT riding your bike....

Hey Ruffy, Man that bike of yours still looks great.. I sure am glad you are taking such "great" care" of her for me......

If I remember correctly, my bike (RSV 2nd gen) measured 9 foot, 4 inches long total. That is measuring from the front most part center line of the front tire to the most aft end of the top rear luggage compartment. I owned a 6 wide x 10 ft long enclosed trailer and it was very close to touching the rear ramp door on the inside and the front tire was strapped up against the front wall...
