    I thought it was the same bike that sold on Ebay about a year ago from Kingman Az., but this one isn't 'minty' enough.. It finally sold for $6500, and it took 3 listings before it finally got a bid. Mint with a very slight dent in the tank. I was looking at it, and did swap a few Emails and pics with the seller. I'll be surprised if this one sells right away, if at all??....

    Sorry Mate I Didn't See You....

    Yep need to send that one back to the dealer. If you bought it online contact AVON warantee and let them take care of the shipping costs plus replace the tire. They'll probably want the thing handled by a dealer, but since they don't have to pay for the mounting and balancing they should be agreeable.

    I have 2 pumps. A 0-30 progressive style pump for the fronts, and a Progressive 0-60 for the rear. Both have no-loss chucks. Works for me....

    Just got to thinking.... Yes occasionally the gray matter does kick in, in a warped kind of way.... In the US the big contributors to MC accidents are dubbed 'Left Hand Louie's'. Since the UK... and other British Colonies... drive on the wrong side of the road, what do they call a right handed 'no-see-m' accident???

    You might see if your emergency shut off switch is in the run position, and maybe check the ignition switch to see if the thing is plugged in...??? Just a thought....

    Like I said, if they make you happy, by all means keep running them.

    I stand corrected. Just went out and looked at the '87...again, and they are black. My bad... Now has anyone ever seen a 'yellowish/gray'?? Thanks for doing the leg work and looking it up Carl. I don't have the 1stGen Parts listing.

    And here's mine.... I have never heard of any other tire brand throwing caps or delaminating like the Metzlers, and it's not an isolated instance, or bike specific. Do a google search and read up on it. However, if that's what you like by all means keep runing them. Tires are not all the same when it comes to tire pressures due to design and performance, but one rule is constant, run any tire underinflated and you will cause cupping.

    The slotted' rotors appeared on the MKII. The big problem is that the fork and wheels are somewhat interchangeable, as long as the rotors are kept with the appropriate calipers. Who knows...maybe they changed from year to year after the 86 came out?? I know that my 87, 90,91, and 93 all have the brushed aluminum finish. My '83 and '84 are black. I did read Marcarls post that his '89 were black and looked original. Maybe it's a Canadian thing??

    Yep, my old HP500 laser printer ran $4500 new. I bought it used for $500....

    Yeah, the 1200 MKI's's came with the black trim and the 1300'MKII's were plain.

    So Rick... when are you and Nina going to do a sequel. Kinda like Flo, 'can you hear me now', or Jerod?? Maybe you've missed your calling.....

    I think I read that a member covered them with a chrome film, and they turned pretty nice. I also thought there was a set up for auction on Ebay, but just checked and they must have ended.

    I shot him an email last week about coming to Cody. He responded that he's still working on getting the pressures under controll, but looking at it. Also getting the daily dose of Forwards, so he's still OK....

    Just a tidbit of information in case there's a few 1stGen'rs reading this thread. The Venom tire pressures are greater for their sizes. Take them to the listed cold sidewall pressure. In the fronts case that's 50psi. It will eliminate a big amount of sidewall flex and increase the overall usable milage before wearing out. It will also greatly reduce the possibility of any sidewall checking and tread cupping.

    online parts

    Condor replied to amr's topic in Watering Hole

    I'd suggest checking the Yamaha site to see what's still available. Bling accessories are starting to be discontinued. When you find something you'd like check around for a price. I'd also suggest you look at Mesh Jackets with a take out liner since most of your riding will be in warmer weather. I've found some pretty good jacket deals on Ebay. Saved a bunch. Some bling once in a while. Again saved a bunch.

    Generally when a Venom gets close to the wear bars things wear fairly quickly. I'd change it out. How many miles do you have on the tire??

    Planned Trip

    Condor replied to Rocket's topic in Watering Hole

    I think Rocket has one of those SPOT locators. He needs to set up a web page so that we can follow him on the trip, and know where he is if he doesn't show up in Cody. Then we can go persuade him to show up..........

    Been doing that a lot lately on the cheaper items. Doesn't make sense to order online and pay those 'creative writing' shipping fees...
