    I lesson to the pros on this site when it comes to tire pressure. I don't know anyone the puts MAX air in the tires, as spec'd. except for the 180 I have on the back, I run 48 LBS. as a question? you'll get the right answers. and if your under warranty, you can tell the shop to STICK IT !!!!

    It happened to me twice, the first tire, I too was on a road trip, and needed to replace it after 12,000. miles, but the shop I stopped at only Had the Metlzers, so I had to get another one, the second tire only lasted about 6500 miles, my chunk was from the right side of the tread. & we, (2 up) pulling our trailer, rode it home 120 miles, in the pouring rain. Now there where the 170's Rear, I moved up to a 180 on the rear and it is steel belted. this tire has about 8,000 on it now, I put 48 LBS in it ( 50 is max LBS)

    I'll have them clean the carbs, nothing more. I rode the bike up at the HUb with no Issues, was playing on the twisties for 2 days, then rode up to branson MO. the bike rode fine. trailered home. so having the carb seal loose around the head would cause it to backfire? (getting air) Now the tank must have been off, when the shop, replaced the head bearing grease, just before I left right?. The bike went from the shop to a trailer, and I left for ARkansas I'll look at the lines and inside the carbs this morning. the bike runs, but 1-2-3rd gear, it sputters :confused24:what a pain in the A$$

    lets go back to the beginning, they never offered to do it for free, they expect me to pay for the repairs. I guess the new guys at the serve desk, don't no about the 5 year warrantys, on the Ventures. They will tomorrow

    It was going to be the next question, Thanks Bubber

    Yes, on both parts, the bike starting back firing, afew blocks from the shop, and YES there was gas lines (runs) coming down behind the right air intake. what should I tell the shop? Just clean the Carbs? The tank was also low on fuel. and from another post (If you have a stuck float, the overflow hose should route the gas to up by one of the air filters). IT DID Does the Floats go Bad?. ( The gas that was in the tank was filled in Harrison Ark, the week before) I trailered the bike home

    My venture started leaking fuel from the left rear carb, the other day. the shops is telling me I need to replace, all the guts, in all four? neddles, floats? do they have to be replaced? do they wear out this fast? or can they just be cleaned?

    Let me just say before the bikes came back into my life, I was a man, wondering in a lost world. yerning, to get back out on the open road. My wife knew I could taste it..... I kept making comments, about doing it for four years. In 05, I picked up a 04 Roadstar leftover , and rode it for eight months, dropping eleven thousand miles on it. In May of 06, the wife started to complain, she can't carry items and had to leave them home. So I Bought the Trailer, Matrix rover. In April of 07 we picked up the Venture. But for now It looks like the wife, Loves traveling by Bus, and trailering the bike. so I'll just have to live with the Idea

    If you purchsed the 26,000 miles service contract with them, then they have to service the bearings, at 12 & 26 thousand miles. I had the service, but they never inspected mine, now at 45,000 miles, they reviewed the services done. and found they never adjusted the bearing/greased/repacked. I just had mine done last week. it takes 2.5 hours to complete. and no:mo money:out of your pocket
