Ride to work in the dark again. It was just starting to be light when I left, now it'll be dark again for a while.

I have my cages insured with State Farm, and my RSV is insured with Allstate. I have always had my bikes insured with Allstate, and they are very biker friendly. Full coverage is $490/year with $500 deductible on collision, and $100 deductible on comprehensive. This also includes $1000 for accessories, and towing and labor costs coverage.

You can't see the "THOR" banner above? -
Gauges Not Working?????
Monty replied to StarRider07's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Mine are Sunpros. I didn't look while it was apart, but I doubt the oil went all the way up. How about something like this? If so, let me know, and I'll finish it. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i274/13thAFMonterey/thor2.jpg -
If it hasn't suffered a serious impact, then don't worry about it. It will still protect you. They are just trying to sell more helmets.

Oil gauge sounds bad. Mine sits at zero with the bike off. When I first installed it, it climbed just as soon as the bike started...no delay. If it's working right, it will drop to zero as soon as you turn off the key. -
Great to hear!!!! Good luck with the new job.

engine oil light comes on
Monty replied to aspen60's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Acceleration sloshes the oil to the rear of the bike, and away from the oil level sensor, so the sensor temporarily sees no oil. As soon as you shift, and the forward weight transfer sloshes the oil back toward the front, the sensor is once again covered, and the light goes out. No worries. -
Mine has always been known as the "Roadkiller", but I'm sure the original owner would prefer I rename it.

That's fine, until you pass your first kidney stone...lol I tried to warn my nephew, but he was too smart to listen to an old guy. He's 20, and on his 4th stone this year. Too many Mountain Dews and energy drinks.

New Oils Seals for Valves?
Monty replied to GaryZ's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I have a Parts Unlimited catalog, and it shows seals for the VMax, but not the Ventures. -
I like it!

It'll be at least a couple more weeks. We need a free weekend to do them both, without being in a rush and messing something up.

Lubing the speedo on a 1st gen
Monty replied to Venturous Randy's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I see you have too much time on your hands....digging out these old posts and all. -
OK...What do I need to buy?
Monty replied to elmicko's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
No biggie. I'll bet it's just his cable anyway. I just have an old cluster laying around, that has a bad chip in it. Not beating me out of a sale. I wasn't wanting anything for it. -
Sorry to hear of the loss of a friend and fellow rider. When will it ever end?

new bike small problems
Monty replied to curtis's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Not sure how the light in the display ties into it, I haven't checked the schematics. I do know that sometimes, while riding down the road, my kickstand down indicator would come on and show it down. It didn't run any different though. As I said, mine was jumpered out. The wiring diagrams can be found here in the forums, under first generation technical library.
