I just disabled those banners. We'll see if that was the problem.

Sounds dumb, but

On my second gen, I use the tool that came in the took kit and then a 17MM socket and ratchet on top. Works great. -
I'm surprised that YOU haven't done these. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-Royal-Star-Tour-Deluxe-Venture-Saddlebag-Bra_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ10066QQihZ011QQitemZ320264948362QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Yea...mine is set at 7250...maybe 7200. It will go much higher but Dyna doesn't recommend doing so unless you install heavier valve springs. In fact, it may be 7,000 that they actually recommend.

OH Boy...here we go. Let's see how long before this one turns nasty. Please prove me wrong folks.

I'm keeping a watch on it and trying to figure out what might be happening. It appears to have nothing to do with how many people are online. When it happened yesterday, there were not many people online at the time. I have also submitted a ticket to our hosting company for their input and monitoring. We'll get it figured out. By the way, there ARE a couple of things that happen late at night/early morning. I don't remember exactly what time I have them set for but I have the site doing automatic backups and also submitting sitemaps to Google and Yahoo. These are a bit server intensive but the problem yesterday and at some other times you are reporting are certainly not happening during those times.

Carb question
Freebird replied to oldschool's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I don't know of an actual kit. All I've seen is individual parts. Floats, diaphragms, etc. Sorry, wish I could offer a better solution. -
Tom, I've never seen that one at all. Next time it happens, please let me know exactly what you did that caused it. Thanks

Today was the first time I've had a problem too. While you may have been getting no errors, I was getting dozens of emails about MySQL error "too many connections". I ended up having to increase the max connections to the database. It seems to have corrected the problem. I'll continue to watch it. I suspect that we were being attacked by some bots trying to get in because we didn't have enough folks online at the time to cause the too many connections problem.

Carb question....Help!
Freebird replied to Squidley's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
You could do that. You could just set the floats with a caliper and them test them on the bench with a clear tubing off the carb drains. There is a diagram in the service manual that shows how to check the level with a piece of clear tubing. -
Please give me a link to one and let me look.

Can't you just right click and save it to your computer and them upload it to your post using the "Manage Attachment" option?

Enabling HTML is signatures or anywhere on the forum is just not a good idea. It opens us up to some very bad stuff. Here is a report from one site that did it. "Our site has been getting hundreds of malicious users registering just to put scripts in their signature blocks. Then, we get tens of thousands of hits per hour, surely from 'bots, on member.php retrieving these signatures. A guess is that we are being used as the unwitting intermediary in somebody's 'bot control network: the signature block scripts are commanding the 'bots, or sending them the next spam message to send out, or something like that. (Indeed, the signatures contain spam-like text in addition to scripts.)" That is just one report of MANY from people who have done so.

Money sent for 3 tickets. Hope I don't win it, I can't pull two trailers. LOVE my Bushtec.

I've never heard of such a thing. Every one I have ever seen was on the left side. I understand the antennas as they are part of the dealer assembly process but the choke comes assembled from the factory. That is really puzzling to me.
-
Yes, it is possible but it makes the forum very hard to read. When everybody is choosing large sizes and colors that do not contrast well it just makes a mess of the forum. I tried it here once and it just didn't work well. Just wasn't a good idea.

Of course. Some have done that. The mailing address is: 16898 Hawley Road Oberlin, OH 44074

When we were there for the rally last year, we stayed at the Comfort Inn. Some folks stayed at a Motel 6 right next to it. They were both pretty nice. The Motel 6 appeared to be one of the nicer ones I have seen.

Yea...but the BAD part is that by the time he gets it from Beer30, it will be covered in cowhide.
-
HEY...maybe the pen is in the freezer too? Sorry about your ice but now you have an excuse to come back.
-
Nope...red...kind of marbled looking. Not a big deal folks, just thought that if somebody noticed it they could let me know. Certainly not the end of the world and nothing I'm going to lose any sleep over.

OK folks, today I finally got around to re-organizing and putting away my tools from Maintenance Day. Now I know how it is when there are that many people grabbing tools and working on various bikes. I fully understand how easy it is to have to change a socket or grab a different sized wrench and stick the other one in your pocket. I even understand how a person can forget about the tool in that pocket and end up taking it home. I also know that a LOT of folks had tools of their own and it is easy to grab one of mine and throw it in the bag with yours by mistake. So my question is, HOW did none of that happen? Every single socket and wrench is accounted for. Which tells me, a LOT of you simply didn't do a darn thing except talk and tell lies the whole time you were here. What is THAT all about? ALSO...how come I ended up with no EXTRA tools. You would THINK that somebody one have left SOMETHING here. OH...I AM missing a pen though. My lucky Waterman Rolling Ball. I noticed when birthday cards were being passed around and signed that it was MY lucky pen being used. Now I've had that pen for about 10 years and used it to sign off on a LOT of deals when I had finished negotiating them. It may be here somewhere or else somebody did forget and stick that in their shirt pocket. So....if you have it...please let me know. Thanks, Don

No, sorry but there is not.

Nothing really...but after you upload the new picture, there is a link right beside the pic that says "Insert into Signature". That was all you had missed.
