You can try topping it off but you’ll probably have to bleed it too. Look for oil spots under the bike, the slave usually drips there.

@videoarizonahave you heard from the Pucster? Kinda quiet around here without him stirring the pot.
-
Check fluid level. The culprit is often a leaking slave cylinder. How old is the fluid? Old dark fluid needs to be flushed if present.

2009 Tour Deluxe 1300
RDawson replied to Austin E's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
I’m just opposite, I like the big fixed fairings. The air cooled VTwin and all the electronics scared me off. I haven’t ridden the SVTC but I never rode a better bike in the rain than a first gen fixed fairing Venture. -
Cross your fingers. Maybe they are giving out new bikes “2021”. 🧐🧐🧐

2009 Tour Deluxe 1300
RDawson replied to Austin E's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
I’m with @luvmy40on this one, you can find a Venture for the same money as the TD. Get all the touring equipment with no add on headache. -
I used the spring from @skydoc_17 in both my bikes. I don’t remember if it’s an EBC or not. Works great even when I’m two up pulling a trailer. Others swear by the Barnett set but I’ve not tried it. How about that big boat on Barkley? Me n the wife put the boat in Friday and checked it out.

Puc usually pulls his disappearing act when he and Tip go visit the grandkids. I assume and hope that’s all that’s going on.

Make sure you’re using the correct type of oil. -
1986 Yamaha Venture Royale

You’re in the right place to get her going. Look on the home page, scroll down to the 1st gen read only tech section, you can get acquainted with it there. They’re a blast to ride with many going well above 200,000 miles, there’s a fanatical following here that can help you through anything that may be wrong. -
A lot of dealers are going that route because it’s cheaper than a spare, mount kit, etc. When I was looking for Kandi’s Jeep the local dealers only had the compressor kits. Most were willing to get the spare to get the sale. I did go and buy those compressor kits and added them to the kid’s cars and wife’s in case they pick up a nail when I’m not around.

Congrats

I got my call today too.

You don’t want the extra washers.
-
But it was the front one, from my experience it’s the passenger mic that’s over used🤣🤣🤣😇😇

Every time I get a new badge at work I get a pay raise, is it gonna work that way here too?
-
There are several large audio plugs in a bundle inside the fairing, I would check and clean them, corrosion there is not unheard of. A little dielectric grease to keep moisture out after cleaning helps. They are cable tied to the fairing frame on the throttle side.

I’m on the list at Seasons In.

The bourbon trail starts about 4 hours east of us, the distilleries I could show you around here don’t care for visitors 😜. Anybody coming in from the east of us can ride right down the trail.
-
Done.

Last time I saw Bob my wife and I went to Niagara then met at his house to ride down to Don’s MD. I helped load an air conditioner coil and a few other things in his car to deliver to members from Canada. That was the last MD he made it to.
-
Yeah, I need to think about a room myself.
