In your case having one dropped on your doorstep for $20 bucks less, and getting it in 2 days, would have been a better deal. And what's with this core charge... O'Reilly needs to get their act together...

Instead of Guest you could use 'DECORATION'..... :cody

Good thought. As long as the price is about the same, and there's an O'Rielly close by, that'd be the way to go.

What did you end up paying for the Rielley's AGM?? We can order DEKA's from Bohannon, shipped free to your door for $85.00 bucks.... Curious what O'Rielly charges for the private label???

My brother up in Kalispell MT just emailed me that it's snowing..... I emailed back that it's 74 degs and raining. He said that was TMI.....

I use a computorized charger on all my AGM's and haven't had a problem. If they're really low it may take longer to charge, but so far... knock on wood... so good. MOF Odyssey sells a computor charger for big bucks. I have one in Cast-Aways inventory on consignment. Tested it once and I don't see any difference between it and the one I picked up from West Marine years ago...

Kick stand reminder.......again.

Did you know that the bolt 90109-10474-00 is still available through Yamaha. http://www.boats.net/parts/detail/yamaha/Y-90109-10474-00.html -
That's a great idea. I have plenty of coated life line cable available to make up a set.

WOW!!!

Is the U-Haul inclosed or open??

Somewhere on this board there used to be a place to register your MM.

Larry (Carbon One) has been making something similar to that for members when using a MC jack for a while now . I would have liked to see a pic of the bike up on the lift part of yours. I'll have to look again, but I got the impression the lift part is angled forward, unless it's removable it could present a big problem if it ever fails and drops to the pavement while underway.... I like the idea that you can use it to do double duty as a center stand and a lifter... Now I wonder how much it would run to get it chromed....

Help with starter switch
Condor replied to Vonwolf's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Sounds like to much resistance in the starting circut. Only place that can happen is the ground connection, or the brushes in the starter. Pull it and clean the contact on the frame. If that doesn't get it then I'd pull the starter and rebuild. -
Handling Question
Condor replied to Reddog170's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Check the rear tire for out of round, and sidewall run out. Check the rim for run out too. An out of balance tire will also cause a wiggle at certain high speeds. IF the tire is balanced, how much weight was added? Anything over a couple of .oz's is too much. -
My apologies Joe. Just added the to my search string and got a ton of hits. What a great search!! Wonder why they didn't come up using just the original string??? Thanks for the tip. More intertainment....
-
Yeah, but how many of those links where pure CL Yamaha Venture?? Sure I get lots of hits too, but take a look at the URL address. Most of them are websites that run around copying listings off CL. Do a search using the search I wrote down in the first post. There were 3. Heck even this board popped up a couple of times because of it's references to CL. In the past doing that search I'd get 10-20 CL hits.
-
I'm sure there are some of them that are getting out because of Health, age, no longer interested... But a lot of them, that are riding and stroking payments, are putting theirs up to get out from underneath those payments. Loss of job, divorce. etc. Whatever the reason the listings are way less than they've ever been. I wonder if it's actually CL, and all the bad press they've been getting lately??

Reduced fuel economy...that varies
Condor replied to Venturer's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I'd think of 4th as your top gear. Lug that engine down in 5th and she'll suck gas like a horse eating oats. -
Not really, but I have bluetooth set up between my cell phone and my GPS. Then GPS to Aux plug, and a Buddy Rich vox cord mod so I can talk to the caller with my hardwire audio connection. I can now listen to directions, play the MP3/GPS music, and answer the phone....

I just did a search on CL for to double check what I found last week. Generally there are always 10-15 bikes that will pop up on a CL Google search nation wide. This morning 3. Same thing last week. Wow!!... Things are sloooow... MOF locally between the SF and SAC CL's there is always been yamaha venture activity. This last month it has been deader than a door nail. I realize it's still winter, but out here in the land of 'Dry Rain' it's always been intertaining. What's going on?? :cody
