I love it... It used to make my brother sooo mad when I would let him take off and get a good lead, then BLOW HIM AWAY. :banana: All I would say is "it's only got 1300 CCs". :stickpoke: After a lot of growling and moaning on his part, I finally told him the story and HP of the engine. He was sick. Even though he was a wrencher all his life,, he never knew that Harleys were so over rated and underpowered. Of course my buddy that rides the Roadstar, which could take the Road King, hates me too. :crackup:

Mini. I am so glad that Riderduke was able to take care of the problem for you. He is great guy and a wonderful friend to you. My hat is off to him. :bowdown: . Now that doesn't relieve you of the need to bake a cherry pie when I finally do make it down that way. I've already told the Warden the first time we can get loose we are Ashville bound. I would hate for your pie baking skills to suffer while Muffinman is away. It is the responsibility of every member in here to see that you stay in tip top condition while he is gone... :banana:

My wife's 06 Sebring did the same thing the first winter we had it. To make a long story real short, it was the coolant level. And I don't mean that I added a lot of coolant, Not much more than a pint. Just enough to make it TOTALLY full. I have been working on cars all my life and have never seen an engine do this. I spoke with the service manager at the Chrysler dealership and he said this was a common problem. Evidently there was just enough air in the system to keep it from circulating at an idle... Hope this helps.

I know that I'm a 2nd Genner, BUT, I do like to problem solve. If you cant find one and worse comes to worse, could you use a longer bolt, cut the extra off leaving enough to put threads on, and use it as a stud??? Or even check with some of the companies like McMaster-Carr and see if they have a stud that would work... :confused24: Just throwing ideas around cause I'm stuck in the house looking after the Warden.
-
You might take it to a Lowes or another hardware store and try to match it up. You could even swap it to a standard (US) thread bolt. Wait. I may be speaking out of turn. Does it have a nut on it or does it screw into a socket??

GOOD GIRL????????? Youhavegottobekidding!!!!!! :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :stickpoke:

If the brakes still seem soft after you change the fluid, change the brake lines to stainless braided hose. You will be amazed at the difference in stopping power.

Brad cause trouble???? Naaaaaaaaaaaa.

Do you have the Yamaha Trunk Bag?
Steve S replied to Freebird's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
We have and use the bag quite often. The rain cover is a nylon cover with elastic around the edges to keep it fitting snugly. The only problem with the cover is that it is NOT waterproof. In a real hard rain the clothes inside will get wet. I usually put a garbage bag over mine and then use a bunge net to secure the bag to the rack. Even though the bag has velcro strips to hold it on, I have had it to almost fall off going down the road. Now I just put the bunge net over it when I leave out. Hope this helps. -
Mini. If you want me to help, the offer still stands. Anyone with enough experience to change out a fuse or breaker box will be able to trace down the problem and fix it before or during the change out. It might be that the buss link in the box got hot and grounded. Without out pulling the cover and inspecting it, no one can tell. The main thing is that you be careful and don't get yourself hurt. You can run the 110 volt items that you NEED, on the circuit that is working properly. Just be careful not to over load it. You might unplug anything that is NOT VITAL to the operation of your house. That way you can run GOOD HEAVY extension cords to the things that you MUST have. Good luck. If you need anything, my phone number is listed. Feel free to call.

Mini. You have a dead short somewhere. If it is blowing one of the mains, there has to be a serious problem in that side of the fusebox. Most likely a short in one of the 220 volt lines. That would be either the hot water heater, stove, AC unit or dryer circuit and somehow the fuse to that unit is not blowing. Take every fuse in the box out, look in the hole where the fuse came out and make sure someone did NOT put a penny behind it, then replace the mains. If the main blows, it is not one of the appliance circuits, it is in the box itself. If the main does not blow, replace the fuses one at a time and see what happens. I'm in St Louis now and won't be home until tomorrow night. If you cant get it fixed, you get the cherry pies mixed up and I will throw some tools in the truck Tuesday morning and come down. Once I get it fixed you can bake the pies while I pack up the tools. I'm serious about this. If you can't get it fixed by Tuesday, I will be glad to come down and see if I can help out. (I am actually a very competant electrician.)

Is Venture Dad still making and selling the trailer hitches? If he isn't, does anyone out there have one for sale? Thanks
-
Thanks jemorrisonjr.. I'll pass that on to him about Pinwall. Squidley.. I told him if he would take some of that money out of his wallet a regular seat would work fine for him.. :mo money:
-
Hey Folks. I have a friend that is looking for a set of pillow top seats for his RSV. He would even take just a driver's seat if there is one out there. Thanks for the help.

I refer to mine as the "Black Beast". However I think I may have stolen the name from someone else...

Don. The only problem with camping in your yard is the open air, cold water "shower" that Mini runs.... That is way too rough on a man early in the morning...

Mobile homes and modular homes have vastly different wiring codes than "stick built" houses and buildings have. (Some of these even vary from state to state.) I would bet, that somewhere, there is an explaination for the grounding method that is used in your home. (Whatever it may be.) I would love to see alumium wiring outlawed and the same standard of wiring code used for prebuilt homes as for constructed buildings. With the amount of aluminum wiring that is used, it is no wonder that mobile homes catch fire so often from electrical problems. But I guess the expense of copper wiring outweighs the safety concerns that arise from using cheap materials. :bang head:

There may be a ground lead coming in to the top of the ground bar. I couldn't see the whole bar to tell.

Mine is the Corbin seat and backrest. And the road pegs run a close second.

Front Blinker bulbs? (or led replacements)
Steve S replied to screamstone's topic in GPS, Audio, Electronics
My 2004 Midnight uses an 1157 base bulb for the front and an 1156 base bulb for the rear. I've purchased the LED clusters from Custom Dynamics for mine, but I need to get the flasher stabilizer so they will flash at the proper rate. :mo money: -
My vote is for South Dakota, but that is just cause it is on the way to Washington State. I am going out there next year if it hairlips the devil!!! . I vote for anywhere it can be held. If I can I will make it. If not, then I will try again the next year.
-
I don't have near as much problem with the sweating issue since I switched to a Corbin seat, so the leather may help. Although, sometimes I do still have some sweating issues caused by the backrest, but then, the Warden is a hot bloded woman... :crackup:

I'm wondering if he really knew just what he was in for when he started this site????
