Look at the regulator in front, make sure that the connector plug is in good shape. I had one get hot and melt the plug, I replaced it with a stock Yamaha one after trying an aftermarket that just turned out to be a disaster and a PITA. Also make sure that all your connections from the battery are clean and tight. I have used the Buckeye stator on 2 Ventures 1 RSV and 1 1st gen, they chraged well enough, but I went through hell getting the wires to seal coming through the side cover. For this reason alone I will not purchase another one. Ricks Motorsports http://www.ricksmotorsportelectrics.com/aboutus.php sells an upgraded stator and this is what I will try on the next one I swap out. -
Brake rebuild question
Squidley replied to mitch77's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Mitch, It really all depends upon how mechanically inclined you are. It does take time to go through the brake system, and the rear petal does engage the rear caliper and the left front. The mech is looking at bleeding that linked system and that can be time consuming. The process of delinking isn't rocket science, but you will have to purchase new lines and a splitter to accomplish it. Skydoc17 is a good resource for info on this -
Hey! I was here until 8pm Monday night while you were trying to be superman BIG DUMMY!!

Great story Randy, and as always it was great seeing you and your new lady this weekend....looking forward to seeing you folks again soon

Thats a very cool place if you like aviation stuff Monkey Boy went to the Jim Beam Burbon distillery off of I 65 on his way back to Texas. Might be a neat stop to make and see how they make Burbon out of Moonshine

We have a setup at Kregerdoodles place and we do all our own tires there. It's a very handy piece of equipment to have, were actually looking for a used pneumatic tire machine to put at Kregs place. It was good to meet you as well, too much work going on and not enough time to visit. We'll catch up again at some point I'm sure

HF doesn't sell the Motorcycle adapter for that tire changer anymore, they still sell the changer itself. Good meeting you this weekend Fuzzy, hope to catch up with you again
-
I saw this before and did come up with the punch line. It's all a matter of the numbers, only so many animals and countries with all the fitting criteria...it is kinda neat though

Good to hear you folks made it back home, a good passenger is hard to find, Lonna is the same way and doesn't complain about 700+ miles in a day.....them wimmins is hard to find! Good seeing you again and the education that always insues, hope the family situation irons itself out.

Awesome pics, great job Eileen!

I just sold a 1st gen that had 110000 miles on it and ran like hell. 200K is a solid # with good maintenance, I know of a few that have gone over that.

Yeah Right....

You'd need the tailgate to support the bike, the RSV is 9ft + long.
-
I hadn't heard that either, lets get a relay going and get it back down to Texas where it belongs!
-

Great Pics Rick! Good to finally meet you and your missus too, looking forward to the next time
