So, assuming there are 28 tickets left is that all there are total or just till we "break even", or is it 28 tickets till no more tickets will be sold for the raffle?

Another stalling question of a different sort
gibvel replied to KevinR's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Next time it does it open the fuel tank and see if you hear the sound of a vacuum. If so Flyinfool would be right. If this is the case it should start right up again after releasing the vacuum. -
It's a ploy, a ploy I tell you!!! They're just trying to throw everyone off and then they'll come back and smoke everyone.

This is what brake fluid can do to your plastic.

Not just your plastic either. It will do a royal number on the paint on a steel tank also!! -
Been there, done that. In a McDonalds. I wondered why a lady would bring her kid into the mens room to go the the bathroom. On the way out I noticed that the door said womans. Was spared the face to face though.

Have you met the man? I think Lonna's knocked him in the head a few times. J/K. Really missed you Brad. Now that you're back we need V7 Goose to come back AND Dan to come back more often!!!!

I PMed him the other day. He's doing well. He's just taking a break from the forum for a bit.

I'm still 20, some odd, in my head. My body, however disagrees.

My son's friend just got an R6, 1999 he thinks, and is having a problem. He got a new battery and charged it. The bike starts with the charger attached but when he unhooks the charger leads the bike won't run. He let the battery charge over night in hopes that would solve it and I'll know later tonight if it did. If not what would you suspect. I'm thinking maybe bad or dirty connection on the ground or positive so that's where I'll start.

And what, pray-tell, will these bells be attached to??? Hmmmmmm, Hmmmmmmm?

Have you ever had low audio output on your 1st gen?
gibvel replied to rstacy's topic in GPS, Audio, Electronics
I second this. Had this very thing happen once and it was the driver mute button. -
"returning tested good" means, to me, that they tested the unit and found it to be good so they returned it to you. I would suggest asking them if you can email them the video of the installation including the tach's rather odd behavior. Maybe they can divine something from that. Good luck with this problem. Hope you get it ironed out!

Thanks for the info Joe.

Since the storms rolled through the Dallas area?

No, not the VTwin oil. Although some use that when it gets very hot out. I don't bother but then it never gets really, really hot here. Some have also said that they fear the 20-50 is too thick for the V-4. Remember this is a water cooled engine and it's also a higher reving engine. Yes, Rotella T6 is a full synthetic oil. Some say wait 5,000 or 6,000 miles before switching from Dino to Synth. Some have said they started running synth in the bike the day they brought it home. I use a Purolator Pure One filter. It's the one that is a longer filter (just fits in the slot between the filter threads and the regulator but it does fit). I'll look for the number. I've never used the K&N but others have and it is a good filter as well. Okay, the number is PL14610 for the longer one and PL14612 for the shorter filter. Probably cost you less than the K&N and is just as good in my opinion. Others use the Wal-Mart SuperTech 7317 as well. Check out this thread: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=100&highlight=purolator Just don't ride the V-4 like the V-twin. These engines love to be reved out. Hit the limiter and figure out where to shift once or twice. You should be able to make almost 30 in first before the limiter kicks in. If you don't rev them a little more than the V-twin, and downshift to pass, when you're loping along in a higher gear, then the bike will shutter and shake a bit. You'll get the hang!

Think he's asking Viscosity as much as brand here. Mobil 1 the 10-40 version (This is the motorcycle specific kind 4T racing). Recently switched to the Shell Rotella T in the Venture, however. I believe that's, probably, the stuff that your Wing friend uses.

Goose has been saying that for a long time now. Good for a refresher though!!

Had an Interstate crap out on me after 1 year. So far so good with my Deka.

My son say Miami or Phoenix, but thinks he should go to Houston.

Personally, I don't like whitewalls. I just stole this photo of the 99 off of octoberboy's thread "We've been Ventured" This is what yours should look like.

WARNING: If you do decide to take your plug caps apart DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT use anything abrasive on the end of the small white ceramic resistor in the cap. Doing that will render the resistor, and the cap, useless!! read the how to file before doing it. Edit: Read this post: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showpost.php?p=389860&postcount=13 -
My advice... Go here and ask the question under the "Tech" forum. http://www.saturnfans.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=23 These guys, especially fdryer and OldNuc, know every inch of these cars inside and out. Helped me diagnose a bad Ignition control module (the thing the coils mount onto). I'm sure someone there can answer these questions. If you haven't replaced your wires since new then they are probably very due. Also, take a look at all the maintenance videos by Richpin. There are videos for just about anything you'd want to do to these cars. http://www.saturnfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=124184

Yup! That's where mine are mounted as well.
