    Root canals are no fun , but why did you have a crown on a tooth without having the root canal done in the first place???

    No bids here. To many bikes in the stable now. Beside being a little to far to get it hame...and I'm broke....

    Hmmmmm.... I wonder if there are any dealers that rent bikes in the area?? Harley...maybe??????

    I'm pretty sure it's FA88... but double check to be positive.

    Wish everyone the best on this one. I'll just have to live it vicariously thru all the posted pics. It's 2400 miles one way for me. I'm good for 600 miles a day. 4 days there, 4 days at VRII, and 4 days back. Can't be gone that long. DANG!!!

    I think what happens is that someone bid over his high bid and the system automatically outbid them, and it's recorded as another bid by the high bidder.

    Spent a week in Cancun, a week in Peurto Vallarta, and drove down to Bahia de Los Angeles in Baja for a couple of days . Even camped on the beach at Arroyo Grande. Never a problem. Was stopped by Federales on the way back from L.A. Bay without incident. Was stopped at an Army check point in El Rosario on the way down and inspected on the way back. Never an inkling of any danger. Had a great time. The people are super friendly. My 2¢

    I hear that all new Ventures came with a dip stick in their tool kits, but I've never seen one and think it's only an urban legend...... I just fill mine to the bottom of the threads in the fill hole.

    http://www.crashedtoys.com/Item.asp?StockNumber=CT07-535& If not someone might want to think seriously about it. Looks like an easy fix??

    I know this is a little late, but here's a company that sells a kit to repair stripped out threads. They ain't cheap but the do work. http://www.timesert.com/ Hey!! it's an alternative.... . And..... here's a pan on Ebay for a lot less. May be another way to go???

    This is just a wild stab here, but doesn't the tach get it's pulses from the #2 ?? plug, and perhaps the tach quiting and engine dieing might have something to do with the TCI not triggering the coils to fire???

    Checked for them at Wally World this morning while picking up a couple of gallons of Rotella 15-40. Couldn't find them. WW had Rotella for $8.79/gal., and Sam's club had a 4 gallon case for $48.95. Go figure.....

    You're going to wish you hadn't Jim. The V-max is already lower geared and your RPM's will go thru the roof and so will your gas milage. It's fine on a low rpm 2ndGen, but not on a 1stGen..... Oooops, read the rest of your post about changing out the gears for 2ndGens. Might work, but sounds like an aweful lot of trouble....
  16. Condor
    Geeze!! I'd just go find a low mile 1300 engine and be done with it. Unless you've already had the 2ndGear fixed you might as well do that too. If not, replacing the motor would be a heck of a lot cheaper..... IMHO.....

    Thanks for the post Don. That's exactely the answer to the question I was also going to post later today. I thought I read a post....pre-crash??.... that had a cross reference and the number for a NAPA filter. I had a bunch of aftermarkets, but 4 bikes eat filters like a horse eating oats.......

    Lone Eagle's bike was originally an RSTD. He added the Harley trunk and recently a sound/cb/intercom system...besides extensive customizing.... and it's good to go. I actually like the Harley trunk a lot better than the OEM RSV trunk. Tons more room and better built.

    My first '83 clattered and rattled like crazy when I first bought it, and after changing out the oil to motorcycle specific it quieted right down. It had 42K on it when I picked it up, and there's no telling what the PO used for oil. I used 20-50 valvoline. I'm not saying that's your problem, but just 'thinkin'. I've never had any reason to pull the bottom plate off the motor so wouldn't know if you could replace #3 bearing or not. I would think so.... I've done it on car engines..., but you never know what these design engineers are smokin' when drawing. The one possibility that may cause you to pull the motor is that it's a wrist pin and the piston will need to be removed??? Heck, I'd put a heavier grade of oil in it and see if that doesn't help.

    Wish I could get one of those things in there, but my knees have first rights. About the only thing i don't like about the 1stGen is the lack of round mounting areas lost because of the risers.... Any 1stGenner out there with some sort of trick cup holder instalation??

    Doesn't that bring back some memories.... Rode my Aerial Square all over L.A. in the late 50'd early 60's. No fairing or shield, no helmet, no boots, no jacket, and a lot of times shorts instead ofLevi'ss. Have theremnantss of road rash on my left thigh to prove it.. But back then I was young and imortal.....

    It's a made by a company painting a lifestyle, and designed to sell bikes. You either buy into it or you don't. I thought it was a well made powerfull statement, and even though I don't ride their product I do respect what it represents. Freedom to be your own person.

    I picked up a set of 'el cheapos' off Ebay. DRIVING LIGHTS I don't remember where I got the 35watt rating from. I might have been halucinating, or read it on the installation instructions which I tossed?? They're not bullet proof like some of the other lights I've seen, but they do the job, and the price was right.

    You just have an early '84. They start building the next model year late in the year. I've run into a couple of '84's that were actually registered as '83's.

    Might also add that the frame weakness doesn't appear anywhere near as often as the 2ndGear defect. I can't say for sure but on this board I've only read about only 2 or 3 frames so far. And that's a lotta scoots.......
