A little slow on the draw there Bubber. The thread is almost week old. He was there last week. Nice try to suck up. Gary

You may also need the right side console cover that was made to hold the CB head. Gary

I had an opportunity to resolder the circuit board in a spare CMOS unit from my original MKI instrument cluster. I was able to get a fairly good close up picture of an example of some cold solder joints that I thought I would post. This may be helpful to someone that has never seen a cold solder joint. There are 8 large connections in picture that all show some signs of a cold joint. The circular ridge around the base of the soldered joint is the sign of a cold joint. The worst case is the far right joint. The smaller connections in the upper right corner are good solder joints. For a size relationship, the large row of 4 joints is 3/4" in length. Gary

There is an antenna matching box. Ties radio & CB together. Below is a link to an 86-87 bike that shows CB wiring in center area of schematic. http://www.venturerider.org/wiring/86-87%20Yamaha%20Venture%20DS%20Wiring%20Diagram%20Rev%20D.pdf Also, please go to user cp & put your bike info in your profile, it helps people help you.

Now stuck on clutch
dingy replied to bkuhr's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Did you have clutch push rod out of engine? If you put it in backwards I believe it will give you these symptoms. There is a dimple in the end of rod that goes towards right side (clutch side) of engine. The ball bearing sets in this dimple. Middle picture is towards slave cylinder. Last picture is towards clutch plates. Gary -
Low vacumn during carb syncing
dingy replied to Scudrunner's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
This will be interesting to what is causing it. If it runs decent and idles OK its got to have compression. If its got compression & runs good, it has to be sucking air through the carbs to get air fuel mixture. If its doing all that there seems like there has to be vacuum below the throttle plates at idle. Gary -
I have a few small odds & ends laying around from my MKI rebuild that I don't feel like putting on ebay. I just put a lot of 1st gen stuff on ebay, including a set of side covers & knee fairings that are in good shape. Do an advanced search on seller ID dingy101 if interested. 1st freebie is a louver from a knee fairing. Only one of the louvers is there but it could be moved to another unit. I also have a complete set of brake lines. I really don't advocate using old parts like these, but I understand someone may need them that can't afford new ones. MKI headlights. Plastic engine heat fairings. Couple of sets of MKI cams. Valve covers California air unit. Thermostat housing Horn set MKI clutch - missing one full friction plate. All this stuff is in need of cleaning. All I ask for it is actual shipping costs. Gary

I have ordered stuff from McMaster Carr at 6:00 PM and I had the parts by 10:00 the next morning with standard FedEx home shipping. Never have had any problems with them. Gary

motor hesitates after tire change
dingy replied to a topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Where did you reinstall this piece of baffle? Is it a piece of about 1/8" thick material with a bunch of small holes in it? If it is, it probably came out off collector or one of the internal baffles more rearward on the muffler. I don't know of a specific piece like what you describe in the exhaust. But at any case I don't think it is related to performance issue. Gary -
I am sorry, but that is not a real 2nd gen. I do not see any suedo-air cooling fins anywhere. Other than the radiator, it's a nice looking scooter. The radiator however, looks like an after thought that was swiped off of a Mack truck. Gary
