Years ago, back in 51 or 52, we had just immigrated from Holland. We lived in a small house with 8 of us, house that maybe today 2 people would find too small and Mom was very lonely for her family. It was Christmas eve. Somewhere during the night she woke up to a sound in the bedroom next to hers, she woke up my dad as well to listen to their youngest singing Ere zij God (Glory to God). She says he sang it all the way through and it totally blessed her and dad. She says it was the best Christmas she ever had. No presents but lots of Presence. I don't remember any of it, other than what she told me. Yes! Sons can bless their mothers in many ways, I'm glad you could bless her in such a manner.

Thanks for the story. It's good to hear such stories.

Check the 4way flasher switch, located right of the steering column on the left side of the faring. Kind of hard to see and find.

Throttle cables connection to carbs
Marcarl replied to Pop's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I think the manual has a decent picture as well. -
Isn't beer supposed to compensate for all that?

There are a few different setups for the likes and dislikes of different folks. Me? I don't like the solid for the reason you quoted and it's hard to 'jump' into the bed for something. The tri-fold is pretty much the same problem, so I have to roll-up. It's stays in place most of the time but can be rolled up and out of the way for our fiver, can accommodate an item that is just slightly higher than the box, if it needs to come of I can do it alone easy, looks good, doesn't flap around and I can lift just a couple of inches when necessary to handle long pieces and then it's there to keep the pieces in place somewhat. The only thing is that you have to make sure the sides pushed down or a side wind will lift it. No hard cover for me anytime. If somebody needs to take something from my box I suppose they can but would leave a much smaller mess than if I had a hard cover, either way they would run off with what ever they thought important enough.

Throttle cables connection to carbs
Marcarl replied to Pop's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Twist the throttle and determine which one is primary and which one is return. That should tell you which one goes where. Put the carb bank back into position but not all the way. At this point connect the cables making sure that the primary cables does not go on the outside of throttle shaft, even though it may seem that there is a nylon spacer for it to slide on. Put the primary cable on the inside of the shaft. Make sure that the cables are free running and then push the carbs into place. Do the return cable first if I remember correctly. Hope this helps. -
Weight distribution…I’ve stumbled upon the obvious.
Marcarl replied to Pasta Burner's topic in Watering Hole
So, when you put weight in the right side it has more of an impact on the stretch of the rear spring. Now what would happen if you released some air out of the shock. Like, how much air do you have in the rear shock? Good point! -
You only get to live here for a short time, don't let it get you down. Enjoy the wait and the ride when it shows up.

Differences between 2008 - 2013 RSV?
Marcarl replied to rpep1982's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
With proper upkeep that 89 has still a long ways to go. I would keep it. -
Gas should be in h gas tank and to me that is dangerous enough, and unless there is good reason to carry extra I wouldn't. Forgetting to fill up when you should or can, is not a good reason.

That's an opps. Could be costly. Glad she and the other one are Ok. Gonna need a hammer and punch before a little bit of mud.

There you go Puc, enough of that fertilmilizer stuff to keep you and your neighbors going for years to come. Don't know how he manages to come up with so much of it all the time, just know that he is resourceful beyond belief. Be careful in how you use it though, I've heard too much will turn your grass brown and dead.

Me thinks you'll like it here.

I never felt the need for a tender. Have heard of some failures like yours and I never had a problem starting my machines either in the outside cold or the inside warm.

Or it could be that it never had one and just installed a used controller to make it look 'good'.

Whatever you do, donut,,, I mean donnot cover the seed with a whole lot of dirt, actually lay the seed on top of the asphalt,, I mean soil and then just kind of walk it in. Then water it with a hose and gun enough so that the soil gets really shiny on top and makes a bit fluid mud, then move on. Look back to see if you can see any seeds and I think you'll find they are now mud colored. Perfect amount of soil! Oh and don't listen to @saddlebum, all he ever grows is brown grass.
