    I think it has something to do with the way it's listed. Here's another listing that just ended from a ticked off seller. VENTURE

    I wish Yamaha had figured out a better way to keep those vents in the dash. On my first bike, the '83VR, one disappeared riding it home from the previous owners house. Bought another off Ebay for $25 bucks... from Pinwall I believe?? The problem is the dang tabs break off. I've started putting a dab of glue in each of the corners. Now they don't go anywhere, and are still fairly easy to remove if the louvers break.

    I agree Bill. I never put my 2 cents in when things start to go sour. The problem is the board has turned into a 'Family' board, not just a MC board. And when events happen that effect us all, there's going to be discussion on the subject. Eventually opinions...everybody has one.... are going to be expressed, and 'Thar' She Goes'!!!.... I just bite my lip, and read the tech forums....

    Try sitting on a 1stGen with floorboards and tell me all about your 1400 mile day... On a 2ndGen you either you have your knees in your chest, or you've got really short legs........... That said, if anyone is interested in a nice set of VentureLine floorboards with heel'n'toe give me a shout. I was planing on listing them on Ebay next spring.

    Ain't that tall, but I still have a set of highways as far forward as I can get them in front of the guards... and I have been known to rest the back of my calf on the pegs to stretch out while slabbin' it....

    Rick, you flat backin' it again??? :rotf:

    I'm with you Gramps.... I had boards on the '91 and hated them. Went back to pegs and I'm a happy camper. Floor boards are great for short riders, but for those of us that are horizontally challenged with big feet, the foot wants to point down when the knee is tucked into the fairing and the foot is back on first gens. I've sat on 2ndGens and when I put my foot flat on the board my knee is in my chest. Not comfortable. Pegs, both back and highway, are the only thing that makes long distence riding possible. I can't understand why anyone would feel comfortable with their feet setting flat when the natural position is to be pointed down slightly. SO THERE>>>>TAKE THAT!!

    At 10 degs anything would be a bit slow in cranking... Even me.. To get things turning over with a little more ooomph, you might try installing an AGM battery (PC680) and a set of those heavier starter cables that are listed in the classifieds... MOF if you're using the bike in weather that cold , you might think about 5-30. Just make sure it doesn't have friction modifiers. Most 5 weights do....

    The Cycle Sak's I got off of Ebay ran about $50 and that included shipping. They are heavy, but I have lighter ones I carry when heading out for an overnighter. I just did several different searchs for Gorilla Covers on Ebay and it looks like they've gone the way of Cycle Saks. There is one seller that's making long term storage cover that may be an answer. The problem is the BIN $69.95 + shipping, which is going to kick the thing up to around $90 bucks.....

    They're loosing 5 bucks ea., but they're making it up in volumn.... Actually the shipping is where they're making their profit. Plus the BIN selling price keeps the final fees down to a minimum, and it's only about 25 cents to list the cover. They're not making much. Plus I wrote them about the material they use and the response was plastic. I picked up a made in china for a few bucks more thru a US seller, and it makes a good overnighter, but for long term outdoor storage it's terrible. I did pick up a couple of Cycle Saks off ebay a couple of years ago, and I wish I could find more. They're bullet proof....

    All of the above replies were from 2ndGen owners, and this is a 1stGen forum.... so I checked, and you posted in the right place for a 1stGen. . If you're going to run a synthetic oil, make sure it's wet clutch specfic. No frictions inhancers. I used to run 10-40 dino oil in the winter and 20-50 in the summer. Lately I've skipped the 10-40 and just run 20-50... Why? Because I'm cheap... And it's fine. And it's usually above freezing here on the best coast. Castrol GTX 20-50 works well.

    I wonder if it isn't the ability of the fork tubes to react equally??? Hit even a very small bump, and the front tire starts to wobble. Hit the brakes and the front tire starts to wobble. With the hands on the bar it will dampen the effect, but take them off and away we go. A fork brace might help to equalize the rebound, but it's actually the rebound valve that may be worn out or damaged?? Tires that are out of balance, mounted incorrectly, damaged, will have the same effect as hitting a small bump. Anything that's done to dampen the effect, head bearing adjustment, fork brace, will keep things calmed down, but in the end it's the rebound valve in one or both forks that aren't doing thier job in sync. 'Cource this is just a guess.... On the earlier MkI's there is a rebound adjustment on the bottom of the Anti-dive unit. If they aren't on the same setting the forks will not work equally. On the MkII's if one of the AD's isn't working properly the forks will not work equally.
