She is probably younger, than Condor & Black Owl too. :rotf:

Front Fork Separation..
Rocket replied to KIC's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
For doing these on the bike & not just on the bench. I have a welded double nutted bolt, that is also welded into an old 15/16ths socket, for holding the damper rod. I need it normally for reassembly, as I also use the impact for disassembly. -
Nope, 83 are the only ones with this issue (aside from abuse / accidents).
-
What is this shoveling you refer to???? Here, it turns to rain within a few days & melts away. I'll probably ride down to Victoria today.
-
That should be a requirement, for all 2nd gens......... :rotf::rotf:
-
Steve, you trailered to last years International Rally.... Grump & I rode there, in the later stages, of a 10,000 mile round trip.
-
I need some assistance quickly
Rocket replied to Squidley's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Squid, I can't help you out with this, but don't turf the current one yet. As it could possibly be used, for the upgraded starter clutch mod later on. -
They don't know you very well..... They must have meant, that your sleep is much better now. Yup, that must be it........
-
Was Ramona with you, at the time of the Pic taking???? I don't think you will survive, if she sees your post.

Not quite Jack, there is mic leads for the intercom in the optional helmet interface cables & a provision on the amp for a supposively optional CB to plug in, but no PTT switch. At least one member (Marcarl if I remember correctly) has retrofitted a OEM CB into a Mk1, that didn't have it. The aftermarket CB was Cyclecomm.
-
Well you're out of it fluffy (nothing new there)..... I would be in it, with 10,000 miles on 2 scoots at the same time, in 1 trip. But they don't make 1st gen windshields, that I'm aware of.
-
Quick, get a fire truck over to Dans, as his head is probably smoking, or on fire...... :rotf::rotf:
-
Yup...... :rotf::rotf:
-
A 1st genner needs to shift out of 1st gear, to go faster than 50 mph. Are you waiting for a spring, or just waiting for spring?????
-
Once you get past the years of neglect, there is not much to be done, aside from oil changes & tire changes.
-
No cake, probably the left over pizza or the spiral cut ham, that is in the fridge....... BTW did you get any normal food at your place yet???? Or is it still all dog food.
-
No problem, unlike the Grumpy old fart that was riding the 83 last summer. Good thing I have another 2 Qts of paint, for the scoot.
-
Ok, I stayed mostly of the site yesterday, so the 2nd genners got a break. Only came on to get Pacidaho's mailing address, to ship off something they had requested.
-
Older than both of them, but not combined. You mean 2 days, but I screwed up Mom's newyears, with her being in the hospital.
-
Took the truck down to Costco yesterday, even though it was a nice day to ride. Too hard to pack an 18' pizza on the scoot. Should be getting out on the scoot today.
-
More & more 2nd gens are getting walkers installed (trike kits).:mo money: But they still need to wake up sometime & not stay in a groggy daze all the time.
-
That should only take 4 or 5 of them, to generate enough hot air.........

Tom, I didn't use much in the way of parts, during the 10,000 mile trip last summer. I did better than expected as the 86, had a total of less than 600 miles since buying it & starting on the trip. Also you provided the ice cream for Grump & I. All clutch parts ordered while in Ontario & shipped to Big Tom's. New clutch spring & friction plates for the 86 @ Big Toms (noticed some minor slippage while hauling the trailer). New friction plates on the 83 @ Muffinman's (probably due to trying the motorkote previously). Played with colourtune & sync also while with the Muffins. Oil changes on both scoots while @ Venturious & straighten sidestand bolts, after Randy decided to check them. I still should order new ones, too. Picked up new rear tires in Cody (thanks again Kurt for allowing me to get them delivered to you), as I ordered them while in SC @ Grump's brothers place. Changed out the rear tire on the 86 in Wainwright (before heading the direction of home), as I have never run a tire that low before & I was hauling a trailer. Changed out the rear tire on the 83 in Oct, as Grump is back riding his 750. Too bad the battery didn't act up, on the 83 while in the states, as the Deka is twice as much up here $$ (before taxes).

I would have thought, he would have previously cleared out the remaining bananas, from the Icelandic members visit.

Lifetime map update after Zumo 550 replacement
Rocket replied to Midnight's topic in GPS, Audio, Electronics
My map download was for the relpacement unit, as garmin had changed the unit serial # in my profile. While I was there, they also transferred my waypoints to the new unit. I was at the US Garmin service centre for less than an hour, but spent over 6 hours downloading the map set via a wifi connection at the motel 6 Grump & I stayed at. This was during our big trip this last summer, between Wrongway's & the Cody International. So the OP of this thread should just have to download a new map set, as the new serial # should be on his profile, in place of his old one.
