  1. HEY NOW....we have had my wife's Kia Sorrento for about 3 years now. Never a problem and it's never been in the shop for any reason. 4X4, plenty of power and pretty comfortable. She loves it. I haven't driven it that much but the few times I have, I like it.
  2. They say there there are rider's who have been down and rider's who WILL go down. Apparently, some think that anybody who rides a lot will do so sooner or later. I really don't know that I believe that but I've been down a few times and can't say that I have ever enjoyed it. Any crash that you can walk away from is a good one though and I'm just thankful that you weren't hurt even worse and very thankful that your daughter was not hurt. I'll also keep my eyes open for parts for that MM. You are right, they aren't often seen on Ebay.
  3. Tom, Is this still happening today? I made some changes that should have corrected that problem.
  4. I don't have one either I don't think. I'll look when I get home. I did see one on Ebay tonight.
  5. I had one already scanned but can't find it now. I'll look when I get home. May have it saved on a CD.

    Look at this

    HA HA....I saw them first. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=23849
  7. So far, things still seem OK. I'm thinking that it was the banner auto refresh script that was causing the problem. I hope that's all it was. Time will tell.
  8. I don't know about that. Not sure when there was a change but I know that my '88 used the same 5 pin as does my '99 and they are the same through current models.
  9. OK...I'm still experimenting. I've turned the banners back on but turned off the auto refresh. They will now change only when the page is refreshed. Let me know thinks work OK or if you start having problems again.
  10. Well..so far...it looks like the banners may have been causing the problems. I hope so, that is easy to fix.
  11. I just disabled those banners. We'll see if that was the problem.
  12. 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.
  13. I'm surprised that YOU haven't done these. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-Royal-Star-Tour-Deluxe-Venture-Saddlebag-Bra_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ10066QQihZ011QQitemZ320264948362QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW
  14. 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.
  15. OH Boy...here we go. Let's see how long before this one turns nasty. Please prove me wrong folks.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. Please give me a link to one and let me look.
  22. Can't you just right click and save it to your computer and them upload it to your post using the "Manage Attachment" option?
  23. 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.
  24. Money sent for 3 tickets. Hope I don't win it, I can't pull two trailers. LOVE my Bushtec.
  25. 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.
