I didn't know they served armadillo burgers in michigan???:rotfl:

I noticed in another thread someone posted a link to an OEM toe/toe shifter for the RSV's. Even tho- there's a 13" spread between the pegs on an RSV, it still looks like it'd be a squeeze. Wish I had small size 13's....

first gen temp guage
Condor replied to george0fthejungle's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
There's a ground wire that comes off the housing that holds the temp sensor and fan sensor. Might be a dirty ground. Also the drain valve may be in the 'ON' position and the coolant is bypassing the thermostat. I had that happen to me about a month ago, and when I put in on 'OFF' I noticed that the temp didn't climb as quickly and the motor did run cooler. Might be something to look at.... -
ONLY ONE!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeesch..!!

I just gave my extra one away.... All kidding aside there's got to be a company out there somewhere that makes the dang things. After 25 years there's quite a few that have disappeared.....

First Gen Vents/louvres
Condor replied to george0fthejungle's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Didn't know that. I was lucky enough to have the '87 panal color match the '83 VR gold. I think the '85's only came in brown?? If George's scoot is a standard and red, 88 and 89 red maroons will come close.... -
First Gen Vents/louvres
Condor replied to george0fthejungle's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
You may want to check your side panels. The vents where available from 86 on, and the earlier Mark I's don't have the screw mount posts around the opening on the inside. I have the vents on my '83, but it has side panels from a gold '87. On the leg vents in the lowers. Ebay, and they're all the same from '83-'93 -
I gotta headache...........

Funky Fuel Gauge?
Condor replied to Schlepporello's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I think...and that's dangerous.... the key gas milage is the rpm you run at. I've gotten 38mpg on the highway in 5th gear for the intire tank, and have gotten 50mpg running in the mountain twisties and very seldom getting up to 4th. Others have reported the same thing. Most of the time down shifting into a curve and powering out. So around town and surface streets I say don't be in such a hurry to get the bike into 5th in order to save fuel. Keep it in 4th. -
