Ignitech.. works great

Awesome color.. I just painted mine this past winter.. 2020 BMW paint code. Nice , fresh and looks new, not 25 years old LOL

I went to the spin on adapter as well last year.. works perfect.

Hi, Has anyone had what appears to be a burnt computer screen, right where the fuel guage display is ? Seems to move depending on the angle that I look at it. Is there a solution beyond replacing ?

Morning all, My bike is on a diet, as i do a repaint. 86 Venture Royale Available for reasonable prices are the radio components, complete with all wiring, the CB radio, the handlebar control, Antennae ( missing top part) and wiring, and most of the intercom cabling ( expect the one intercom cable that runs front to back.) Let me know what you need? I can send pictures if required. You pay shipping ! Ken

I have the CB and the cassette deck removed.. Radio still works, and no issues with the cruise. I installed a couple of 12 volt plugs in the spot the cassette was in and use the cb spot for a switch to turn on the class system when I need to use it. Ken

Thanks.. found them there ! Ken

Got my adapter plate and filter this week !! Seems to work great NO issues.. Thanks so much Ken

Can I ask where you got the new springs from ? Thanks Ken

I bit the bullet and found and bought a new oem circuit board.. all issues with errors solved,. I definitely can not solder.

Thanks... will work on it again this weekend. ken

Thanks... I did not notice any corrosion, but I will do that today.. then apply some dielectric grease. ken

Thanks.. It seems when i move the wiring around at the wiring harness, I can get it to fire up and set the pressures.. not sure if it's the pressure on the pins, contact at the pins or a wiring issue... Ken

Morning.. Does anyone have a error free Class controller assembly they would sell ? I have re-soldered but no luck.. e 1 all the time. Let me know ! Ken

Never mind found a post with explanations !! Ken

Morning on my 86 vr , I want to remove the cassette deck but when I unplug the multi pin connector, the radio no longer functions. IS there a work around to this ? Thanks.. Stay Safe !! Ken

Thanks !! Ken

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I am looking for a complete water pump rebuild kit for my 86. Want to upgrade to metal impeller as part of the rebuild. Thanks Ken

Looking for a complete working set, for left and right. Let me know if you have some Thanks Ken

Thats the one. I just cut the wires and spliced them into the stock wires. Ken

MY 86 Venture radiator fan was coming on at a hot temperature ( stock), which I think at 220 F was too high. I got the Napa part FS-147 and installed on the weekend. Now it comes on a lot earlier.. I like it. Just a note if you do this .. the o ring that comes with the new thermo switch does not work.. It kept squishing out when i tightened. I carefully removed the o rink seal off the old, stock thermo switch and used it and no leaks. Bike, while moving, keeps temp guage at just under 1/3.. prior to this change, stopped in traffic, gauge would climb to just over 2/3 before fan would come on.. Now it engages just over 1/2 FYI ken

Thanks..

thanks for your input.. but how long is a normal grip for this bike.. ? I have read that goldwing grips are the right ones as well.. Anyone else ?? Ken

Looking for some help.. Kuryaken said their Universal Thresher Grips would work on my 1986 Venture Royale, 7/8 inch size.. Part Number 5950. I got them today but they seem to be almost 1 inch too short at 5 inches in length.. My throttle sleeve on the bike appears to be just about 6 inches. Anyone encountered the same or have a solution or alternative>? Thanks ken

Thanks Casey.. Lower bearing is now reinstalled, let the fun begin! The top bearing was quite notchy, so there should be a big improvement.. doing the front wheel bearings as well while it is apart.
