    Yup, this is the place to initially start & then go deeper if needed. If not needed now, I would keep the caliper & MC rebuilds / change outs, for a later time like PMS. Regardless, the bleeder screw should be done now, with its current problems.

    That also sounds like, Condor & Black Owl, now that you mention it........

    The leg heaters are to the inside of the legs... The ones in front will blow air at them, creating a bit of a breeze, but no air conditioning, so it is air at local temps......

    Have you tried, asking the mail order call center, about the MC Tire adapter????? They may be able to find one in another store & get it shipped to you.

    Maybe from Calamarie, but he is too far away....... Besides, I don't think you want him, tending to your butt. Good to see you posting again..... :thumbsup2:

    Probably, just turning, to look behind him.

    ABS mandatory?

    Rocket replied to a topic in Watering Hole

    "The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is appealing to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to make ABS standard on all new motorcycles in the United States." Not the Govt, by the looks of it............

    Stupid answer Read the manual.......

    Nope, the wheel spline & dive pin assy is held in place, by a circlip on the wheel hub. You haven't noticed it, during your winter work projects or tire changes????? If you're that blind, maybe time to go to a 2nd gen......

    Skipping 2nd gear, is normally done after, it starts jumping out..... Many, continue on for years, before getting around to fixing it. Less parts are needed, to fix the issue, before it becomes a problem. Makes a great winter project, if you are handy with tools.

    Look at item #36, on the 1985 XV 1200D. For 83 & 84, it was only listed as part of the fork tube (look at the bottom end of the upper tube & you will see it). It sometimes helps, to do some cross referencing, with these bikes. Remember with Yamaha, the bushings are listed as 1 each (not a pair). So you will need to order 2 of each bushing, to do both fork legs.

    Also, if doing the lower bushings, do the ones on the upper tubes as well (listed seperately on diagrams for later years) these bushings are the same 83 -93. Yamaha #3JJ-23171-00-00 Race Tech info included, for comparing Mk1 & Mk2 parts.

    The 83 did not come with OEM Cruise control, but Vetter Mfg made one for the 83 & 84 Ventures. I know this because I have an 83 VR & recently bought an Vetter Cruise control unit NIB (new in box), from one of my suppliers of Venture Parts.

    Buckeye Performance. makes them to order, Mk1, Mk2 & 2nd gen. It's listed on his site, with prices. http://www.buckeyeperformance.com/products.htm

    Here is an interesting idea. Looks like it could work, simple enough too. http://www.wimp.com/solutionoil/

    Nope, I think she is spending too much time, in 4 wheels & not enough time on 2 wheels, though......... :bang head:

    Bend over Mel, as Mini snaps the Glove........:rotf:

    Ok, give another update, after getting it back together & putting a few miles on it, if a valid plate is on the scoot......
  21. Rocket
    Some of us, use good grease with Moly in it. Yup, the pumpkin is the rear end.... Look into putting progressive springs into it as well, the stock fork springs are cr*p.
  22. Rocket
    That would not be a new noise, just the same old one.........
  23. Rocket
    Ouch is right.... As it is not fun, having pain going down both legs. Like in my case, when I had the same injury. Hopefully, he will be pain free soon. :fingers-crossed-emo:canada:
  24. Rocket
    Yup, it is splined & that in itself, throws people off... They think, it goes under the boss nut, if not checking the parts diagrams.
  25. Rocket
    The cover is off, so pull the pressure plate off & look at the inner hub boss nut, is the splined thrust washer placed under it & the locking tab??? If so, you need to move it, so it is between the outer basket & inner hub. Not having the thrust washer in the correct location, will produce the effect of basket & hub locked together. It may be an idea, to verify, that it was even placed in between the hub & basket (not accidently left out during re-assembly). Remember to re- torque the boss nut afterwards & re-assemble the clutch assy.
