  1. When was the last time the clutch system was bled?? Sounds like you have a co-incidental problem....
  2. They never miss a beat when it comes to any excuss to raise the price of fuel....
  3. I think you're gonna need more than water wings..... Stay dry my friend http://listentoleon.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dos-equis-stay-thisty.jpg
  4. In the rain no less.... Jeff you have the stamina of a horse...
  5. What grade DOT fluid did you use to flush the master?? Sorry, had to ask...
  6. If you're going to only buy all you need is a credit card they can bill listing fees in case it doesn't sell. If you want to receive free balance transfers for something you've sold, you will need a bank account they can transfer the funds to. And even then you don't need the bank account if you sell an item and want a hard check mailed to you.
  7. You folks better stock up on cheese cake fixin's. Looks like you're going to have one heck of a crowd. I'd be there, but the wife said she'd take care of me.....
  8. OK, so it's not Venture related, and a shot in the dark... My grandson picked up an '89 Ninja 600 basket, and I wonder if anyone here might know where I could find a downloadable service manual in PFD like we have available here for the Ventures. I tried a search, but couldn't find anything. Any help would be apreciated.
  9. Believe me it can get painfull. In my left hand I'd get ice pick shooting pains up the ring finger into the palm of the hand. Hurt like a SOB... Shooting pains are not that unusual. I've had both wrists done. The right hand last year and the left last Feb. So far everything's back to normal, and that's after my right hand went dead 24/7 for over 6 months.
  10. It may not be Carpal Dan. There's two areas that can cut off nerve sensation to the hand, and the elbow area is one of them. About where the funny bone is. Sounds like that's what you have.... Carpal is when the tunel thru the wrist bone starts choking off blood and nerves.
  11. I bet if they design one of those gizmo's, with just the basics, to fit in the tape deck of a 2ndGen they might sell a few.
  12. You mean I have to leave my 1stGen at home?????
  13. MKI's are 83-85, and MKII's are 86-93.
  14. Yep, Noticed that. I'll probably pick one up and stash it... Something I have a habit of doing. I can't imagine needing it, but you never know... Good idea on the cell phone...
  15. Thanks Joe. I re-read the owners Manual...slowly this time and found it.... I guess there's another one under the seat... I just wanted to locate it so the GPS mount would be close by, and not have a bunch of wires runing all over the place. Mount is now mounted on the LH side.
  16. Did I read somewhere that the 2ndGens have a cigarette lighter power plug??? Or was I halucinating again..... I didn't see any reference to one in the owners manual.... but I'm pretty sure I've run across posts about it... Never mind I found it..... Sorry for the dry run...
  17. One thing I remember about the falls is it rains....in the parking lot on the Canadian side... even when there aren't any clouds in the sky... The wife and I decided to view the falls early in the AM to avoid the crowds. Got the truck washed while we did. How cool is that.....!!
  18. Yeah... Of course you're right Earl. Open mouth, insert foot..... DOH!! I didn't realize the 2ndGens were so old fashioned.... Maybe that's why they lock up so often. Old 1stGen technology is too much for a 2ndGen to handle....
  19. One of the reasons that the 2ndGen's have uneven wear is they don't have caliper pistons on the inside. The calipers are a two piston set up on the same side.... No sticky pistons like we get on 1stGens....
  20. I just ordered a set from Jake Wilson. I went with the E III's for the '99. They were a little more expensive than the Venoms after you apply the $50 buck rebate, but I wanted to try something different. Pretty painless online. BTW besides the free shipping you get another $10 bucks off by buying two.... Didn't know that until I checked out.
  21. Besides the trunk, I understand the rear shock was also a weak area in the early years...??
  22. Gary, If you can still get online go to http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ It's free and will clean your system. I've been using it for over 10 years without an issue. If you can't get online try searching for the last file written into memory and double clicking on it. Sometimes you can back door the virus block that way. Once online go to Trend. I discovered this when I came down with a virus way back when. Shut me down good. Went to START and then searched by date figuring I could just delete the last file and it would go away. That's how dumb I was. I was also lucky because when I found the file it wasn't what I was looking for, but I double clicked to open it, it was an online temp foil and the computor went looking for it online. Once online I wasn't about to log off. Found Trend. Did the housecall and it found 2 viruses. In those days it gave me the instructions on how to get rid of them. Now they get rid of them for you.
  23. But can you hold a phone conversation using the headset??? I just read the bluetooth options in detail, and they just talk about the phone...nothing else.??
  24. Yep, I just tried to contact Garmin Support to ask if it could be done with the Streetpilot c550. The phone wait was aprox 35 minutes. Not for this boy.... Then I figured I'd email them. Their email form is a joke. I can't even figure out what the 'H' they are talking about in the drop down menu's. The c550 does have a wired audio out and a remote mic plug, but I think to get them to work with a blue it would need one of those bluetooth adapters??? I'm off to something else.
