    It is probably an 84 Model, mfr in 83, just like the automakers do. As the dash is not an 83 type, wrong layout.

    Wrong, these pressure plates, will fit the 2nd gens as well. See attached pdf

    I had to use the address in the message box, to get here. So propagation is not yet complete.

    Yup, seen that on ebay before............ A N.O.S. engine, without a serial # stamped in.

    Yup, all you needed to change, was the springs themselves. Which would have been about $15. for the set. The pressure plate upgrade kit is for the 1300 engines...........

    If you used dot 5 fluid.... Not the dot 5.1 which is supposed to be compatible with dot 3 & 4 (I have never checked it out). Prepare to do a complete rebuild of the braking system, as many of the seals are not compatible, will fail on you & maybe the lines too.............

    About time, you finally went after it........ You will get more use out of it, than I would.

    Nope I didn't, as I don't carry a passenger much (usually army gear). But you can put the holder on the top of the side luggage or on the front of the trunk, on flat area, by the corner. Normally these go on the left side, same as helmet connection point. Better late than never, at least the cables are still available..........

    Correct...........

    Here is the link to the repair of the common faults of the CLASS controller. It is much more work, to rig the air lines, into a "Venture Standard" from VR configuration. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=493

    Don, I think should postpone this till after the weekend..... Mow the lawn ( think we can get a few people over to take pics, if lawnmower goes swimming) & put some miles on the scoot, if the existing tires are safe enough. Then maybe, tackle the other jobs at home. We should be able to survive a few days, with a slow server. Get some R & R...............

    That is a very good upgrade for the brakes & clutch. Here is a link http://www.buckeyeperformance.com/p04.htm

    The progessive part is #11-1112, yes you can still run air if needed / wanted.

    Circlip pliers will be of no use, as it is a wire type of circlip, a small flat tip screwdriver & needle nose pliers will get it out of the groove, after pushing the cap in a little.

    You need the interface cables (they were optional), that connect the amp to the headset cords, see these links for more info. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=21213 http://www.sierra-mc.com/proddetail.asp?prod=JM%2DYV%2D41

    For NGK the first letter on the spark plug number indicates the size. C 10mm D 12mm B 14mm You need the 12mm

    If I'm not mistaken, you colour tune first before syncing the carbs. The colour tune is a tool to get your idle fuel mixture, fine tuned. Some of us just set the mixture screw at 2.25 turns out. Both the colour tune & carb tune are made by the same company (see attached link). It would be best, for another member that has done this before, to perform this initially. http://www.carbtune.co.uk/c.com/index.html http://www.carbtune.co.uk/c.com/colortune.html

    clutch basket

    Rocket replied to a topic in General Tech Talk

    That locking "washer" ensures that the nut stays at the correct torque, the nut is torqued to 50 foot Lbs. To get it off, it is best if you have a friend with an portable air or electric impact (used in reverse direction of course, turning counter clockwise) to break the torque on the nut. If that is not available, have someone hold the board in place, give the breaker bar & socket, a sharp tug to break the torque. Do not use an impact driver to re-install the nut, it needed to be torqued to 50 foot Lbs.

    Nope, your not the only one, Rick. It shows his competency level, better start looking for another mech, or learn to do basic maintenance yourself. There are dealers out there, that may be an ok source for parts, but I wouldn't have work on the scoot, more than once. If they can screw something up on a tire change, would you want them digging deeper into the scoot???
  21. Rocket
    Good to hear about your progress. It is satisfying, to be able to take care of maintenance issues ,yourself. Better watch it, or you will learn much more...... Remember, winter is the preferred tinkering time, as it usually doesn't affect riding time........ :thumbsup2:

    I have one on my 83, on the left side. It was connected directly to the stock mount, before I put Squidly's Driving light brackets on......... It shouldn't be a drain on the system, or are you always blowing your horn........:rotf:
