Stream Rider

Thank you SO much!

Would you be able to share a link to a previous post or information on what needs to be soldered? I would appreciate it greatly. I have a full manual and can solder but not sure what i am looking at on the back of the boards.

I would like to know more about this! Please explain.

I'm really hoping the compressor is okay as I have heard they are a problem on the Gen 1's. I am really interested to learn a bit more about the immediate trouble areas and if there are any. Going to spend the next few days just diving into the service manual PDF and watching a ton of YT and kinda familiarize myself with the bike and the order of operations working on it calls for. I taught myself the FJR and the GW on YT and forums so I am hoping I can do the same with this beauty.

Looking for any advice on things I should be addressing first. I am going to start by draining/cleaning the tank, flushing brake lines and calipers, cleaning the carburetors, and lubricating the U-joint/final drive/pumpkin and suspension linkages. Probably rebuild the forks after that. Any checklist items I should be taking care of? I have rebuilt and restored a few FJR 1300's, Goldwings and learned about the Cam Chain Tensioner and timing belt issues those had, wondering if the Venture Royale has little things like that to tidy up first and foremost.

Technically it was a garage find. 9400 miles and very mint. Looking forward to getting my hands dirty.
