But he can't fit anything else in the garage, unless he has done a big clean up in there. Didn't Don get pinned in there before, from something shifting.............

He is always missing a few screws, but not on the scoot............. It takes a special person, to high center a scoot in a doorway.........:rotfl:

Time for a Bump on this, need more input, still............. -
The best of both right there, with the engine & baggage combo............

You skipped out, from from the coal mines over in Wales, back in you go.............

Yes to both questions, I have used it to make new mounting tabs & posts too. Works great, in my opinion.

He had previously posted it, but it looks like you missed it......... So here it is again.....

I'm guessing that it is the shimming needed for proper gear lash, of the transmission output. As there is a change of direction in the path of power, from the transmission gears to the driveshaft.

It doesn't help when the installer under inflates them. Mine was about 12 Lbs low, on my new one last year. Installer used bike specs & not the tire specs...........

Here is a US link that I just found, for the lights. http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/manufacturers-atd-tools.html The mini is what we started using in the repair shop, need to order more so there is one per tool box. It gets the most use, since we got it......... ATD-80102 Saber Light 18-LED MINI Rechargeable Cordless Work Light • UL-approved wall plug • 2-3 hours run time on full charge • Includes handy belt-mount holster But if you need longer run times ATD-80106 Saber Light 60-LED Rechargeable Cordless Work Light “THE SABER LIGHT” CORDLESS RECHARGEABLE & CORDED LED WORK LIGHTS • Throw it, drop it! No other LED light is tougher! • 600 mAh battery, 8-10 hours of runtime on a full charge • Hooks rotate 360° for total hanging versatility • Red and green charge indicator lights • Removable base hook • Triple hex design prevents rolling • Includes A/C wall charger • Leave it plugged in - you can’t overcharge! • When your battery runs down - plug it in and keep using the light! • Save your battery! Auto shut-off prevents full battery rundown

Look for rough service light bulbs, they should last longer........ But we have started using LED type trouble lights, at work, much better.........

Need Help With Rear Shock 1 Gen
Rocket replied to 93 venture's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Another option is to replace the spring on your OEM rear shock. You will need the spring kit & Rick Butler has a tool to do the change out........ Rick is quoted below........... http://www.progressivesuspension.com/prodSearchResults.aspx?yearID=1993&makeID=48&modelID=529 " I ran a replacement rear Progressive spring on every 1300 I ever owned (even if they were new). And like you suspect, it's a bit of a problem getting the old spring off and the new one back on. Progressive makes a sping compressor that they sell for a pretty penny. I had a machinest friend make one to their specs and have used it countless times. If you want to pay the postage, I'll be glad to loan it to you (or anyone else that needs it). The instructions that come with your new spring will explain what to do with the compressor. Ya and I know about spring sag and you have 6 3/8" of travel to work with on your rear spring. Let me know, Rick" -
Same here.......... Take it slow & easy too (Ouch that hurts, when I move it).......... As if we wanted more members, in the VentureRider Asphalt Surfers group, not......................

Here is a link to Rick H's discussion (later part of thread) http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=16101 Here is part of the discussion "Originally Posted by squidley I suppose my only question is "Who makes the stator?" If it's Electrosport out of California, no thanks. I have had way too many problems with them and their customer service sucks! Another good mention is of the wiring harness, just about every bike I know of (besides maybe the wings) dont have large enough wires to handle extra current. It's good to hear that your not having any problems with the research bike....I'll just wait a bit longer to see how it all shakes out Originally Posted by RickH It's not Electrosport. I don't make them. They are made for BP to BP specs. By a place I have been working with for at least 5 years. They are designed for higher output in the cruising range from 2000 to 3500 RPM's. Squidley I seen your post and understand your feelings and agree that Yamaha has a touring bike with an electrical system barely adequate. But it's something we have to work on to improve. The stator upgrade is a must if you add much of anything. But that also has to be done correctly. Anything added to the system needs to be isolated from the stock system. Because of Yamaha's design on our RD RSV which has added lighting the base system is left to the stock configuration. All extras (key word "All") have there own circuits and trigger relays so the stock system is not taxed any more than when the bike rolled off the assembly line. Plus it has a very good battery. The Battery on the a stator system is a very important part of the system. A weak battery may start the bike but will also cause the system to work harder than it needs to."

Squidley's was a R&D unit from another company, if I remember correctly Rick H has stators made to his specs. Running one on a shop bike too.

With better pricing than J&M directly, they also will ship USPS to Canada!!!!!!!!!!
