adventurer 08

I hope someone can help me with my problem, took the 08 RSV for a ride last night and once it warmed up it started to make small popping sounds out the exhaust when at idle with a strong gas smell. I have had the bike out other times this year and it ran just fine. I had just changed the spark plugs and sinked the carbs. It is also pumping gas out of a rubber hose connecting the two left side carbs, I put yellow tape on the hose. When sinking the carbs I was getting a funny reading out of the front left carb. Any ideas???? Tried to post pics but no luck. Gas came out of the over flow hose only once it warmed up. Starts good and has good response, just getting to much gas.

Did you ever think about triking your RSTD? Some of use went that way and really enjoy it.

Are any of our three wheel members going to the Trike Talk rally in Maggie Valley N.C. this year? It is the week before our Int. Rally. The wife and I are going to do both of them. O yeah Happy Easter.

Has anybody used a PCW clutch kit? I am thinking of going to a better clutch since I had the bike triked and ride two up a lot and now pulling a trailer also. I have over 20,000 miles on the bike now, it seams ok but I would rather change it now being we are planning this years rides rite now.

The wife and I are planning to go to this rally but we will be taking the ferry across because we want to first see my granddaughter in Grand Rapids.

I have one also. Very fast! !!!!

I have a Carbon One aux. tank on my RSV, it is the best way to go. He makes a very good tank and fuel transfer system.

A big Happy New Year back at you Larry and Joyce and every body else in our ban of riders:thumbsup:

I drove 20 laps at Talladega a few years ago. WOW what a ride. Top speed was 173

I am thinking about getting a Argo Response for my place in northern Michigan, anybody here have anything good or bad to say about them. New ones cost way to much. I just want it for deer hunting and playing around, by the way I first have to cross a 30ft wide cannel. I will be selling my 87 Venture std if anybody is interested.

Last August 16 my wife and I did a ride at Northwood Meadows senior living center in Cass City Michigan witch in in the thumb of Michigan, it was called Gypsy Ride. It was our first time there and it was great. The ride went from the middle of the thumb east to lake Huron then north to port Austin then back to Cass City for a really good lunch. All the money raised stays in house for what ever they need. This year it was an Automated External Defibrillator or AED. Today we received a very nice letter from them thanking us for joining in the ride and to help purchase the AED. We plan to do this ride again next year for sure so if any other Michigan riders want to join in mark it down now for a ride to do next year. This was the first thank you I ever got for doing a ride.

Can you change to a different pump?

So when does the voting start

Just got home from a fantastic weekend in NY, a big thank you to all of the New York crew that put on a great rally. Great band, great food, and of course great people. Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!

Let me know what seals you need I work in a hydraulic shop so maybe l can help

Great picture of Larry with the women of Ventureriders:clap2:

great Pics Tom, thanks for sharing:happy65:

We have been to 3 International Rallies, we have enjoyed all of them. Meeting new people at each rally from the venture rider site. MD doesn't involve any rides, at International you get to see different parts of the country. Distance means a lot to a lot of people. A 2 day ride is very doable, more expense and vacation time with further distances, but variety of rides is great. If in same place every year, some people might have too far of a ride and never attend. Changing locations, gives some people a better chance at attending and meeting new people.

What Gary said.

Can I get the address to the Microtel Hotel from somebody?

Sandy and I enjoyed your company last week, hope to see you soon again. Too bad about your money.

Just ordered mine, what a good looking group!!!!!

Nice pic of your trike!

I Have a Cobra on the front of my 08 RSV trike, been on for 2 years now and still going strong, was in heavy rain coming home from MD the trike handled great.

St Charles Missouri at the international Rally. By the way nice color on the HD.
