    There was an article on the news about them rolling out the space shuttle in Florida a couple of days ago. They said it was 29 deg.. They rotated the workers every 30 minutes due to the extreme cold. Extreme Cold !! 29 Deg. :rotfl::rotfl:

    I thought you worked for a taxi company that specialized in giving Marines rides ? Gary

    I found this on another Yamaha related site. Not Venture ! Doesn't give pitch size though. Many people are not aware of the relationship between Yamaha part numbers and sizes of some fasteners. Knowing that this relationship exists can sometimes save you a tremendous amount of time and hopefully prevent you from ordering something you don't really need when replacing or upgrading fasteners. 91314-08020-00. If you look carefully at the center set of digits, (-08020-), they are not likely to do a thing for you unless you happen to know in advance that this bolt is 08mm in diameter and 20mm long , "08020" is an 8x20mm bolt! The bolts that hold the end plate on the clutch are Yamaha Part no: 97017-06025-00, so this bolt is 6x25mm right ? The screws that hold the end caps on the carburetors are Yamaha part no: 98580-05012-00, so these screws are 5x12mm. This relationship is not accurate 100% of the time. There are some fasteners that have special qualities that will use the center digit alone or the entire string for other purposes. Keeping that in mind this information will hopefully make life somewhat easier the next time you are wondering "what size is that bolt?" Gary

    The molybdenum disulfide is actually in its natural state in this chalk form. The oil or grease carrier that the moly is contained in will dissipate leaving behind the molybdenum disulfide. Dow Corning uses alcohol as a carrier for moly to allow it to flow into bearings in certain applications. I know its hard to think of an effective lubricant in a dry state, but consider graphite, which is a more common form of a dry lubricant. When used in the lubrication of the spline joints on the drive shaft, the molybdenum disulfide does not need to be in a liquid form (viscous). It is not moving through oil passages or pumps that would require a liquid form. Below in red is a cut from a web page dealing with M/C drive shafts, this describes the physical properties of the molybdenum disulfide . http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Shaft.html "The drive splines get surprisingly hot. Additionally, there's a lot of pressure on the splines and a lot of back and forth sliding motion. Any liquid type of grease will quickly be squeezed out of the splines, and leave you with no protection. The first time you remove your rear tire, you will likely find that the factory grease has dried out completely and solidified into something which does not even remotely resemble a lubricant. Actually, if it's a good Moly grease, it's still doing its job in this form, but it's not a pretty sight. Honda specifies a spline grease which is 60% molybdenum disulfide ("moly"). Moly is a dry lubricant which bonds to the metal surfaces, offering lubrication properties even when the parts have squeezed everything liquid out. A lot of greases now say "Moly" on the container, but you must be careful about this. Ford and Caterpillar specify moly greases for particular applications, but the requirement is for 3% moly, not even close to the 60% requirement of Honda. It's not enough to buy a moly grease, what you really want is basically dry moly in a grease-like carrier which makes it easier to apply" Technical write up from Engineers Edge http://www.engineersedge.com/lubrication/molybdenum_disulfide_characteristics.htm Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ). Like graphite, MoS2 has a low friction coefficient, but, unlike graphite, it does not rely on adsorbed vapors or moisture. In fact, adsorbed vapors may actually result in a slight, but insignificant, increase in friction. MoS2 also has greater load-carrying capacity and its manufacturing quality is better controlled. Thermal stability in non oxidizing environments is acceptable to 1100°C (2012°F), but in air it may be reduced to a range of 350 to 400°C (662 to 752°F). There are currently no clear lubrication alternatives to molybdenum disulfide or the very similar tungsten disulfide that can resist temperatures higher than 350°C in oxidizing environments. Research has been conducted on compacted oxide layer glazes, which form during metallic surface sliding wear at several hundred degrees Celsius. However, because these oxide layers are physically-unstable, their use has currently not proven practical. Applications: It is often used in two-stroke engines; e.g., motorcycle engines. MoS2 is also used in CV and universal joints. During the Vietnam War, the molybdenum disulfide product "Dri-Slide" was used to lubricate weapons, although it was supplied from private sources, not the military. MoS2-coatings allow bullets easier passage through the rifle barrel with less deformation and better ballistic accuracy. Gary

    History test

    How many of us would have gotten that score on German history. 18 is impressive in this case. Gary

    Steve, My apologies if I was overly harsh to you, http://i1007.photobucket.com/albums/af193/gdingy101/puppy.jpg God knows, I've got a lot to learn about these bikes, but I am trying !! Gary

    If you are could draw a schematic of the internal wiring & pinout of this relay I would add them to the schematics. This may help others with future problems. I did not have the internal wiring for the flasher relays. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=42357 Gary

    If my math is still working you are saying long side is rounded off to 7mm and short side is rounded of to 3mm, total length about 10mm. 10 mm is .39". Are you sure it isn't about 10 centimeters. Which is 3.9" long. Judging by the picture and the relationship to the keyboard, it looks like centimeters. http://i1007.photobucket.com/albums/af193/gdingy101/canofworms.jpg Gary

    Seuadr: Are you measuring as shown in picture below ? [ATTACH]40041[/ATTACH] Thanks Gary
  15. dingy
    As we move on here, Seuadr: Could you still measure and post sizes please ? There may be a few people that have 83 - 85 's that would like to CORRECTLY:stickpoke: fill there final drive. Gary
  16. dingy
    Earl, I don't want to beat a dead horse here to much but Steve did say that it "Isn't for any Venture" Hence my second post !! Gary
  17. dingy
    That I can believe. The 83-85 has a fill plug that is parallel to ground, the 86 & up is at an angle, about 10 deg, thus lower. The manual says fill to brim of hole. This is in 86-93 service manual. Page shown below. Gary

    Some of us still don't have jobs, Like some of you have found. Lots of time to tinker, if it just wasn't so friggin cold.. By the way, how is the new job? Gary
  19. dingy
    Better tell Yamaha the manual is incorrect in another place. Here is page from 83-85 manual actually showing this tool being used to check rear end. Gary

    Add cruise control from 88 - ready to put in Replace wiring harness & switches - ready to put in Upgrade instrument cluster - ready to put in Replace valve cover gaskets - ready to put in Fix valve clearances - Done, need to do again on new engine Replace transmission - don't have to do, 1300 doesn't have 2nd gear issue Replace clutch plates - don't have to do, well within specs Replace & relocate TCI Upgrade starter & battery wiring Replace rear shock with one with spring - ready to put in add grease zerts to rear linkage - done Possibly rewind stator Clean carbs - done Clean & paint frame New stuff to do Replace 1200 engine with a 1300, put cams in from my 1200 replace valve springs with vmax springs, there on the way here Add 2002 FJR rear end ready to go in, need shim from sky doc 17 Probably put clutch in from my 1200, I like helical spring set up :mo money: Gary
  21. dingy
    Can you measure both ends of this & post it ? I know several people have inquired about the proper setting for the rear end oil. Gary

    83-85 rotor thickness is 8.5mm 86-93 rotor thickness is 7mm rest are 5mm one millimeter is .039" for reference, about half the thickness of a nickel. Gary

    Pinwall cycle may have a couple on ebay. Click on the Pinwall cycle link from this sites home page on right side of screen. Under recommended links. Do a search "yamaha 1300 relay" Gary

    Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Least thats what the HD guys say about you RSVer's :rotfl: Gary
