    To Trike or Not

    Condor replied to a topic in Watering Hole

    As we get older our ability to balance starts to be effected. Some sooner than others. I think that if you start to bang into wall while walking around, or occassionally lose your balance, might be a pretty good indication. I think that if you're seriosly thinking about a trike, anything with a reverse would be a smart move. Trying to push a 1200 pound bike out of even a slightly downhill parking space ain't fun. There are ways to overcome the lack of a reverse...coast backwards into the space... park dowhill and away from other vehicles.. etc. Riding in the twisties won't be as much fun, but slabbing it could be great.

    It might be in a wire. Since it works every once in a while while riding, when you have the bike running on the sidestand, start shaking wires around and see if you can physically get the problem to appear or disappear. If may be a pinched/crushed wire??

    While reading an ad in the Classifieds I find that when I click on the members name it takes me to an empty page with profile..specs..etc. down the left side of the window, instead of taking me to the members actual profile page. Any one else having this problem??

    While poking around in our Classified section I saw this ad for an '88 with a bad second gear. I've never heard of this happening to a 1300 tranny before??... http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php/product/1327/cat/3

    Maybe a previous owner or wrench put it on there by mistake????

    The EPA has taken it's toll on all those great chrome shops. But.... your side covers are aluminum, and you might be better off having then professionally polished. The end result in the same. I've done a few parts on some of the bikes. Attached is a pic of the passenger floorboards I had done a while back.

    Just a thought.... If the leak still continues after all the great suggestions above, and the PO had previously used silicon to seal the cover, the metal surfaces might be suffering from silicon contamination. The first time around silicon works well as a sealant, but nothing sticks to silicon that has cured. Not even more silicon. It may be your problem??

    Good luck Al. You may consider riding north thru California on 99 to I-5. 395 get's kinda desolate if you need to get help. Hope everything goes smoothly though....

    Downloadable manuals are available here. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3384 Check your sight glass on the side of the engine. You may be low on engine oil. Level should be between the top and bottom lines.

    My '83 used to run just under the red line in hot weather. About half way during the winter. Anytime the motor is running, and there's no air flow thru the radiator it gets hot. 'Specially after a run on the slab and then sitting at the freeway exit. I did a complete flush of the system, and now the needle doesn't climb quite as quickly as it did in the past. Used he special GM orange coolant and Blue Ice water wetter....just because. It'll still run the needle up in the extremes, but with the temps running around 85° the needle will be a little above horizontal. Also it doesn't climb as quickly as it did before.

    If you want to replace the OEM they appear on Ebay from time to time. Otherwise I sure other board members will chime in with a few suggestions on aftermarkets....
