    Not really...... But nice to see, that she is enjoying her scoot.

    At least it wasn't a large Black Owl. As it seems, he has gone AWOL. I got the same look, when I didn't have the tools, for changing out fork seals, at PIP.

    Cracked solder joints on the CMS, usually where it plugs into the wiring harness. Re-soldering usually fixes it right up. Info should be in 1st gen tech library. Many of us, replaced the main power cables (power to starter & ground to battery), with 4 gauge wires. I just did my 86 last weekend.

    Which would be worse, the bear or the snow????

    That means, I could be related to you & Don (mom's side of the family)........... I was having a good day, prior to reading this.

    The roads, parking lots are clear here & it has warmed up to 6*C today. So I may take the scoot out for dinner tonight. Seeing the other day, I wiped most of the snow off the scoot & today the rest should have melted.

    Same here. I have a dash from an 84 parts bike without CLASS & rubber booted rear shock.

    Bob, both has the damping adjustment, but the standard also has a hole for the schrader valve installation. Big differance between the standard & royale is the CLASS & rear shock. Royale rear shock has an external spring on the outside at the bottom half & standard shock has a rubber boot cover. Also what is the model shown on the frame sticker, down under the clutch & waterpump. It should be XVZ12 _ _ _ (probably 3 letter suffix) this will help clear things up.

    Good thing for you, Nina is not on this site. Otherwise, she would have a few thing to say, about this statement.

    83-85 has a rubber tunnel & glass in front of the headlight. 86-93 it is a headlight only. So, by the sounds of it, you are looking for a headlight unit.

    Probably too slowww..... :rotf:

    I can lay in the stuff (have done so, hooking up a "towing light bar" to a truck, at the most, I only get a mild tingling feeling.
  18. Rocket
    Nope, I don't recognize it from either mk1 or mk2.

    The 1st gen black & white, that was part of a police auction, about 2 years ago.
  20. Rocket
    Yup, you are full of it......

    My bike was painted with Nason (Dupont) Acrylic Enamel, after sanding, priming & removing the embeded pinstriping. It was done in 3 coats, 2 medium & 1 wet. Best to use some paint additive (fisheye remover), as we had a bunch of fisheye on the first try. Not sure, if it was from the new spray gun, or something missed during the prep work. About an eye dropper full is all that is needed, that is mixed in for the wet coat (according to the directions). http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=52435

    Mike, there is 4 coils, as in 1 per cylinder.....
  23. Rocket
    From what he told me, no idea at all. Things were fine with the prior passport (since expired). About $1600. + tax to get a Lawyer, involved in this. All it takes, is for his name to be similar, to someone else on the list. So with that said, I wonder if my cousin (that I haven't seen in decades) can still go stateside??? As his first & last names are the same as Mike's.
  24. Rocket
    Yup, I had the radio control, from my 83 VR in the 86 VR for a while. Until I got around to, fixing the clear plastic, over the LED display.

    Maybe you better go back to bed, as it looks like you're not over this bug yet.
