    Notice that BradT always wants to get his 2cents in??? But they are all right, A safety course, then some practice alone and after that tell momma that it's now her practice time, yes she needs to practice too so that she becomes an integral part of the riding experience. Keep in mind that the bike is a machine and will do just what machines do according to what they are supposed to do. We are humans and can do what we please and how we please, and we can, if we want to, change what we do and how we do it at a moments notice. So we are flexible, but the machine is not, so we need to and can adjust to changing conditions. All we need to know is how to change and the benefits of that change, so that's where practice comes in. We create the changes and then adjust accordingly to manage the difference. I hope that all makes sense.

    Ha ha, you're absolutely right about the 1st gen thing, 'cept the 1st gen would have to slow down, get behind the 2nd and then it would catch up and most likely pass, except the 2nd genner would not know for sure, hard to distinguish a blurr. :rotf: If someone has a loose clutch basket, I would be the willing reciepient of one, I'll even pay the postage. It would be nice to have one to play with and to see how I could 'butcher' it up.

    I'm no machinist, but I would maybe just run a bolt though the hole in the center (put in a bushing if necessary) and then clamp the bolt into the lathe. Course that maybe not accurate enough, but then how accurate is a piece of plywood?

    Thanks Bradt

    Well I didn't really want to mention it but it has something to do with speed, course some may call that a similarity rather than a difference.
  7. Marcarl
    Probably a HD cylinder, now we know why they run like they do.

    I finally got my wife to quit turning her head at stops, and to try to quit counter balancing if it leans a little. Also I now pay more attention to my stop until I'm stopped,so to keep my attention straight forward, and try to pay less attention to whether there is traffic coming so that I may be able to roll on. Keep in mind that you'll go where you're looking, so if you're looking right or left when coming to stop, you're going to weave. All this has helped quite a bit and makes the boss more compatible.

    One difference between your lathe and an engine that comes to mind is the running temp and speed of the gears also maybe the back pressure. Ok that's two but what the heck, who's counting. Darn now that's three.

    Better maybe fix the intake valve, sure interesting though. Do they come installed on 2nd gens?
  11. Marcarl
    That didn't go nowhere Ed, But glad to hear you're still around, Missed ya some.
  12. Marcarl
    So do you make cleaveage covers too?
  13. Marcarl
    Now my mother told me that running at the mouth is not quite the same as running on the road, so be careful little lips what you say (or fingers what you type).
  14. Marcarl
    ya but will it fix the 2nd gen CHIRP?
  15. Marcarl
    Glad to hear you're ok Ed, Heal well and stop by sometime, kind of miss seeing you.

    Thanks for posting, if I still had that age of kids I'd take advantage, but I do have grandkids so will pass it on. Carl

    My first guess would be a collapsed hose.

    So with the clutch pulled the chirp stops, but then the pressure on the primary gear is also released and therefore it may run quieter. In my non-professional opinion I think the gears behind the clutch are causing a vibration which is then picked up by the basket and amplified by the fingers of the basket. Either we change the gears or fix the basket so it can no longer amplify sound. I don't know about the rest of you, but I've had lunch and now going for supper.

    Don't know about that, but it would be a day or two before arrival and we think we need it sooner, so any bearing will do and then some what less expensive. Thanks Squeeze, you are really the helpful kind.
  20. Marcarl
    Wonder what the power consumption is. There is only so much available on our scoots.

    Can someone tell me what the NON YAMAHA number would be for the steering head bearings in an 84 Venture?
  22. Marcarl
    Complained all summer that is was so dry, and now it seems we can't please him again. Oh well, he'll get over it.
  23. Marcarl
    Sure is nice to see something going your way, goodnees knows lots has been sent the other way in the past. God bless you Bro Carl

    Ok, so now you admit an error and that't great, you did have me confuzulled for a bit but now I lead you down the path a little further because I tink we is getting close to an answer. The noise I assume, and I assume only at this point, and I need to assume something so that that it gives me a starting point, the noise is mainly coming from the gears, but the gears on their own would not put out the amplification that we tend to hear, so we have a clutch basket that will. In fact, the basket, if looked at a little differently is actually a whole set of tunning forks, you know the kind that muscians use? I say that the vibration from the gears is setting these tuning forks in motion and once that happens we hear the results clearly, that's why some baskets will whine and other don't. With this assumption we need to stop the tunning forks from vibrating and the way I thought to do that was to cut a small groove aroung the end of the forks and install a spring such as is installed at the base of these forks, this would dampen or, hopefully stop the vibration all together and so we might loose our familiar whine. Now I need a used whinning basket to try this with. Any help?

    One thing about you plumbers, you think everything is always connected(until the water pours out somewhere lol). Anyways, I need further explanation. If I understand it correctly, you took out the clutch, basket and all, then covered the opening to prevent oil from ending up where it shouldn't and then fired up the bike and ran it up to 2000 rpm, and still had the whine present. Now, being as I'm just a 'butcher' I may not understand all things, but this does disengage the transmission, does it not? so if the whine is still present it would not be the tranny? but something in the engine or between the engine and clutch?
