    Just a BUMP to let those members who said they'd be interested in a brace, know that I have them covered... if in fact they still are interested. Plus another 3 that are still looking for a 1stGen home. If you're on the list, and have changed your mind I understand, just ask that you please let me know. To those that have picked their's up already. Many Thanks!!!

    Very nice Annie. She's really tallented. Book marked her website. I'm thinking???......

    26H usually denotes a part that hasn't eveolved since the original '83 Venture. However in this case I might be... gasp!!....wrong... I often wonder why someone hasn't tried installing the quieter 1stGen clutch basket in a whining/howling 2ndGen, since it might be a direct swap. Anyone physically done it yet? Rather than just comparing part numbers..

    I used to have the same problem with my '83. Fresh plugs, especially after running Sea Foam thru it, and a DEKA AGM battery took care of it. Generally a weak batt will not spin it fast enough to fire. It's old.....

    Good idea. I'd be interested in any difference....

    What ever Max psi is in the manual. .....

    The problem is that anywhere else other than where the OEM guage pick up is mounted, and you won't get an accurate reading. The best place is just before the coolant enters the radiator, and where the temp housing is on the RSV. That's why I'm so interested in using the existing sensor. I'm with ya on the warning light, but if I can keep the warning light operational it'll be the best of both worlds. It would be a big help. And yep it's going in 'that' pod. It'd be the same set up for my '99RSV. Thanks.

    100% agree with you Don. However..... these new DEKA AGM's only discharge about 1% in a month. I've had extra Odyssey's sit in the corner of the office for 6 months and still get a 12.6vdc reading. Wet cells don't give anywher near that kind of performance.

    Probably the same manufacturer.....

    It all depends on how much your packin in the caboose. I weigh as much as 2 folks and run the rear at 45psi. Rides just fine....

    I'll be mounting it in a pod on the tank. Electrical/analog seems like the way to go??? I'd still like to learn more about how to tie into that warning light sensor?? In my thinking the sensor in there now would only close when a certain temp was reached rather than one that is more of a varible resister thru a swing of temps. The only way I can think that the OEM sensor would work is if the warning light controller is in dash, and is actually getting varible temp readings???

    YAMAHA AIR SHOCK HAND PUMP 0-60psi Will work on the fronts as well as the back....

    The big question marks are what happened to the engine, and did he run it after the 'big puddle of oil' was found?? And if he states that he didn't, will he guarantee it?? BTW how many miles on that motor? The front plastics can be either fixed or replaced. It might be a while until you locate something on Ebay. Pickin's have been pretty slim lately. Personally I don't think it's worth the $500 with what it needs and in it's condition, and you're going to bring it back to riding condition. If you plan on parting it out you will make a few bucks, but it'll be a lot of work... instead of play.... to mess with. And after the plastic has been sold you're going to end up with a pile of slow moving stuff. Offer him $200 bucks or walk....

    I ride all year..... just as long as it's between 50-80 degs and dry.....

    I'm thinking electronic. There are quite a few listed on Ebay. The only thing you have to be carefull about is to make sure it's Fahrenheit. Unless you're in Canada... then I guess C is OK. Do Canadian bikes even come in Celsius?? Tying into the sensor for the warning light would be great. Need to know more....???
  19. Condor
    Some of you have installed a water temp guage, and the question is where did you install the sensor?? Are there two sensors.?? One to power the warning light and another to kick in the fan like on the 1stGen?? And if so, can the warning light sensor be swapped out for a guage sensor??

    At $360 bucks I really doubt it....

    Basically that's what happened to my '99 with a fresh one year old AGM battery in it. Battery would no longer hold a charge. When I put it on the diagnostic charger it kept kicking out a bad internal cell code. Called Bohanon and ordered a DEKA EXT20L. Three days later everything was good to go. BTW the batt that went bad was not a DEKA, but one purchased from a Yamaha Dealer by the previous owner. My local Y dealer is trying to get it warantee'd even tho it was past the 1 year limit. We had to look all over the thing, but finally found 'Made in Taiwan' on it....

    And that's exactely what Leno has that you and I don't. The cost of that bike is just chump change to him. Buying an RSV would really be slumming.....

    Since the oldest 2ndGens are just now rolling past 10 years of age, it may be to soon to see much of a problem. Give it another ten years and I bet the same diaphragm problems will start cropping up....

    As soon as I can find some snow I'll post a pic...... Mean while this is the best I can do....

    I just read all these posts and I have a head ache.... Whew!! Talk about confusing. WE're old school. We have a service bundle from our local ISP. 2 phone lines hooked up to 3 and 2 phone wireless handsets, plus fiber optic broad band, and HDTV. Costs us about $125 per month. The phone lines are $10 bucks ea. We also have 3 lo-tech family plan cell phones.. If we lose power I drag out the Honda EU2000 generator...
