Clutch slips when engine hot
Condor replied to motorbiketim's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
With the cover off the reserve you'll see a hole in the bottom plus another to the left that looks like someone started to drill a hole and changed their mind. There's a very tiny hole at the bottom. To see if it's plugged 'gently' squeeze the clutch lever just a tad. If the hole is open the surface of the fluid will deform... sorta make a small mound. Squeeze the lever hard and you'll be cleaning up DOT 3 off your fairing. If you don't see any evidence of fluid coming out of the hole then you need to clean it. The wire out of one of those wire ties that you get in the produce section of your local market will be about the right size to clean it out. Once the hole has been cleared, bleed the 'H' out of system. Old fluid will sometimes create crystals in the lines. All it takes is one minute piece of dirt or crystal to mess up your hole day.... -

Another electrical question

The stator won't start charging until it gets above 2000rpm. Checking the white wires wouldn't hurt, but I suspect the battery's going.... -
After buying several different covers off Ebay, some light and only good for an overnighter... if it doesn't rain , I found a cover on Ebay from Champion Covers that is made out of a slightly heavier medium weight material, and still remains stowable. I have a couple in 24/7 use right now and so far so good. At $23 bucks plus $9 bucks for shipping it's a better deal than the lighter covers from HongKong. Plus it's warantee'd by a US company that is easy to reach if the need arises. They also have a very heavy cover for $59 that I haven't tried yet, but plan on it. FYI Any cover listed to fit the RSV will also fit the 1stGen.

:sign20:Amen to that brother.... Just got to thinkin'. I just went over 500 transactions and have been buying...and doing a little selling..on Ebay for the last 10 years. If every 'buy' averaged $30 bucks, I've helped fatten a lot wallets.....

I'd just keep quite about it unless you happen to remember someone posting a need for the part on this site and you don't want it.... Otherwise, if it's something you personally need take your best shot, and let the chips fall where they may. If someone gets put off because they were out bid by another member.. that's tough. You just wanted it more than they did.

Flamin' Switchblade or plain 'ol Switchblade Pegs?
Condor replied to Dave77459's topic in Bike Accessories
I run the standard generic Kuryakyn highways without any heel support. I'll admit the pressure on the instep does get tiresome after a while, but when that happens it's always nice to stretch the leg out and let the peg rest against my achilles. As far as going with a flame style, yer gonna have to change out the grips to match.....
