    Must be blacker than Metalic Black..... Or the ace of spades... Or the dark hole of Calcutta...

    My '99 got 26mpg riding to Cody pulling a trailer and running like crap. While in Cody I did a day ride without the trailer and got 40... Before I left home I didn't have time to do anything other than change fluids, so no sync or plugs. I still haven't changed anything but I'm definately thinking about it.... I think the sync and plugs will make'r hum again...

    Well.... the new color for 2012 will be 'intense black'.... The Midnight Venture has been discontinued.. What's amazing to me is my '99 is 13 years old and outside of the color is the same damn bike.... Can't say that about any 1stGen.. Another thing I noticed... unless I missed it... Y didn't mention anything about coming with a tape deck in the specs. Maybe they are too imbarrased, OR they finally ran out of them...

    When a clutch starts slipping right after an oil change the oil proably contained friction modifiers.... Not good for a wet clutch... Try running Valvoline 20-50 MC oil for wet clutches... You can find it a O'Reilys... It may take a couple of changes to get the 'slippery' oil out of the crank, but it should solve your slipping issues. Adding a little Sea Foam to the crank will help with the house cleaning.... Before tearing into anything again, give me a shout...

    It's been great having you and Alan here for the visit Annie. Have a safe trip back home. When are you scheduled to fly out??

    Just above the waterpump on the frame.... I had a battery that checked out just fine. 12.9vdc at rest. Put a load on that sucker and it croaked. Ditto on the DEKA.

    The odds are better that you will get killed riding your bike, than getting munched by an earthquake.

    Get a flashlight and a mirror. Brail won't get it. I wonder if the P.O. stuck an oversized plug in there for some reason?? Hope it's a non-issue....

    Yeah, I had a wise a$$ do that in front of his gun shop with a silver dollar. I went back to the car and got a hammer and chisel. Easy.. I think I still have that dollar in a jar somewhere....

    Actually the 26H and 3JJ are assigned when ever there is a change... and it could be nothing more than a color change is made. All 26H's were for the '83VR model year, and it could remain that way all the way to '93 if nothing was ever done to it. I used to have the complete break down of year and model for Yamaha, but lost it in the HD crash. I think?? the 3JJ first appeared in '90?? Maybe... The part number is the 23103-1.

    The outer tube is the lower. Just checked 3 different service manuals..'83, 86, and 88... and they all have #23103-1 tube assembly listed. Go figure??? From what I can see the tubes are interchangeable...

    Actually you folks had one last week that was a little stronger.... The plates are moving..... TEXAS QUAKES

    If I remember correctly, I looked this up once, and I think you'll find that the tubes (uppers) are the same part number....

    Check it first, but I think you're gonna have to get out the hacksaw.... I'm thinking this is your Venture and not the Honda... I think I'd pick up a used one off Ebay to experiment on....

    It should have only messed up the pan. I'm not sure if a 1stGen and 2ndGen are the same pan, but it sure would help if they are. There aren't that many 'busted' 2gen motors around yet... Good luck.

    Interesting mount. I think I'd add a spring line from the middle of the pole to somewhere around the back seat, or the luggage rack if on an RSV.... Otherwise nice job!!

    Well that worked out great... Daughter delivered 5 cans of Sea Foam to me this afternoon. $28 bucks with tax. I didn't even need to get out of the recliner.....

    False alarm Jay. I had a box of stuff from a dash that I had dismantled, and I did find the tach etc.... but no speedo. I must have sent it to someone else??? Sorry. Maybe somebody on the board has one laying around??

    This is just a thought, but if the oil smells like gas, check the level of the oil in the crank. Raw gas can be leaking down into the engine oil from a stuck float in a carb causing the level to rise and the crank to overflow??? Smell the oil in the engine to see if it is 'gasious'....
