    Man, I have so many things to do be4 I'm off to Cody. Seems like every time I scratch one item off the list, two more take it's place. I'm leaving early in the AM on the 10th, and it looks like I'll be bringing the '83. There's just too many issues to deal with on the '91 to get it 'trust' worthy. I'll be trailering part of the way...or maybe even all the way?? Depends on how I feel when I get to my daughters in Idaho on Friday night. At this time I'm not even sure if I'll be bedding down at the 6 in Twin Falls, or borrowing a couch a bit farther north at the ranch. One thing I do know is I've been wanting to ride the Yellowstone, Chief Joseph, Bear's Tooth for a long time and this will probably be my last chance. The wheels on the Ventures will be gobbling up highway for a long time to come, but mine have started to get a little gimpy over the last couple of years. The walking stick and Motrin are my friends... It's not all doom and gloom though. I'm getting excited and amd looking forward to spending some time in a great riding area with some awesome friends. BRING IT!!!!!!

    classic

    Condor replied to footsie's topic in The Darksiders

    The CHENG SHIN MAXXIS C6011 CLASSIC is the tire that pops up when doing a search. There could be other brands using the term 'classic', but this is the one most likely.

    I hardly ever read the classifieds. Once or twice a month...maybe, and I'm sure I've missed some stuff. However I do visit the board on a daily basis using the 'NewPosts' feature. Here's my 2cents. I'd just as soon see a forum for classifieds. New ad/postings/new threads would pop up every time I visit. On the ads I've posted, anytime a member responds I'd receive an email notification. Once I read an ad, and I'm not interested, it never comes up again unless someone posts to it. Any ad posted that doesn't sell will drift off into the sunset eventually. For those items that are on going with multiple amounts (manufactured) a sticky could be added by an administrator. If I want to go to a members bio I can click on his or her board name and actually go to their personal page instead of a dummy page. IMHO FWIW.....

    I have a full set of spacers from a set of floorboards that I'm saving. I'll go out and check the garage in the morning to see if I can locate them and post some measurements. 105 deg right now. Don't want anything to do with the garage. Like an infield hit that's too hot to handle....

    It's 105 degs outside........ No thanks....!!!!

    I sure hope they do something. The 2ndGens are starting to get boring...zzzz. Maybe someday Yamaha will figure out that pumping product thru the same pipe line for 10 years gets old. Kinda like kicking a dead horse. They did it with the 1stGens and now the 2's. Folks want something new, not technology with whiskers on it. And I bet they wonder why sales fall off to a fraction of what they were in the first 4 years of a run.

    Another thing you might think about is... take the bike out of gear. It makes that first backwards motion much harder.

    It all depemds on how low close the rear end (bike's) is to the ground. I have a big advantage in the leverage dept, but some of the bikes that I have don't have any air pressure from sitting for a long while. I can't even get my big toe on the rocker pad and it's a two man job. So either get that rear end up, make a ramp, or invite a friend over for a beer....

    Received the diaphragm from Randy in the mail yesterday. MANY THANKS RANDY!!!!!!!! I owe ya... I'm happy to report I now have a #4 carb that's giggling away right along with the rest of them. Syncing them this AM and hopefully it'll be down hill from here on out.... Pulling the front tire for a new Venom tomorrow.
  10. Condor
    Sounds like a good idea. My only question is, are you recycling used or possibly dirty fluid back thru the system? The factory recomends flushing out the system every two years to rid the lines of moisture.
  11. Condor
    You might have air trapped in the line, and when the engine heats up the air it starts to expand forcing the slave to push on the rods just as if you were pulling on the lever. If you start to disengage by pulling on the lever just a tad, I suspect air, or a plugged expansion hole in the reserve/master. DOT 3 will expand when it gets hot, and if the small expansion hole is plugged the expaned fluid has no place to go and will also start pushing on the rod.
  12. Condor
    I agree. On the lever/right front caliper there's no need to reverse bleed. It's a straight shot up from the caliper to the master. MOF it's the easiest brake caliper to bleed. Reverse bleeding only works when air gets trapped in the lines, because of line route, or in the case of the clutch slave, the system. Pick up a set of Speed Bleeders directly from the website above.

    Bet that motor is going to run a little quieter too.

    Another one of 'Earl's Pearls'....
  15. Condor
    Why would anyone apply that kind of power to just one wheel? Ya'd think if he wanted to run it though the 1/4 two rear slicks would have been better than one to launch that thing. Or.... he likes replacing the rear tire regularly. I'd love to hear it tho-....

    Cancer Free

    'Cancer Free' ain't those nice words....

    seats

    Condor replied to Silver Bullet's topic in Watering Hole

    Selling the seat is kinda like burning bridges.... maybe??
  18. Condor
    Here's the link to http://www.gi-pro.net/ It looks like they're fairly pricey for what they are. The 'other' board has them for about $20 bucks less and from what I can gather they are actually a distributor... or at least working themselves in that direction. There is nothing for a RSV but maybe they're just not aware of the potential market??
  19. Condor
    I found this on another board where they are doing a group buy. The company might be interested in making a RSV specific if there's enough interest??? http://calsportbike.com/gipro-ds/

    mpg????

    Condor replied to painterman67's topic in Watering Hole

    I hit 50mpg running the twisties all day long. Using the motor and down shifting into the curves and powering out of them. Mostly running in second and third. Occasionally hitting 4th. And the mileage is not a freak, it happens every time I get into that type of riding situation. Others have report the same thing happening. Mileage will drop to 38mpg when running the slab at 4000 rpm and around 72-73mph in fifth. I don't care when it was built, or what it was designed for, wind resistance is the enemy. And when it comes to resistance I'm big enough to be considered two up all the time.

    Maybe a fuse that just died of old age and viabration???

    The Vin# is located on your title, and also the decal right under the clutch housing on the frame member. Anything over 1417 and you're good to go... If youwant to make sure the engine is original check behind the plastic engine cover on the left hand side rearward. There's a flat area that has the number stamped on it.

    Check out an EBC rear rotor. Much cheaper. There are quite a few EBC dealers online that discount. Used are available off Ebay from time to time.
