Who "Has the Venture Rider International Banner??
Squidley replied to Condor's topic in Watering Hole
Vic, Jack sent me the address to the skyline and the c/o person, I'll get it mailed off in a few days -
Unfortunately they dont outweigh me

Many of the members will use EBC HH pads, they are sintered and give a bit more biting performance. I too dont find the front brakes terrible with the right pads and deciding to get into the handle. The lines are 11 years old on your bike and may be deteriorated a bit, hard to say, also something to consider is if there has been regular maintenance done to the brake fluid, and braking system. You might want to swap out the pads, and put a new set on for a starting point for your maintenance schedule

Heres how I run the rear shock I'm 280 lbs shock set at about 40 psi 2 up no gear shock set at about 45 psi 2 up loaded with gear 50 to 55 psi depending upon how much gear. With a trailer, 2 up setting and use the trailers suspension to haul the weight for the most part, shock set at 45 to 50 psi.....your mileage may vary

Thats exactly what I would mention also. Matter of fact you could go to tractor supply and get a syringe for giving horses shots and hook a clear hose on it and attach it to the stock bleeder. Fill it with brake fluid and shove it through.

Yes that was a STAR Banner I brought it out there and it's in Freebirds garage. On another note...the banner in your pic Jack, the one at the '08 Kitchener Rally is in my garage. I came home and pulled it out and all I need to know is where to send it to. -
You Wingers are out of your minds!

See there Dana, folks just falling all over themselves to help out!

We had the STAR banner that Freebird was given, the Ft. Collins one that Allan Hildebrandt won in the raffle, and the Black VR banner along with the US and Canadian flags that Leadwolf sent to Wyoming. Those are the only ones I know of and I'll check at the house for the VR banner.

I haven't looked in the garage for the VR banner, I think I might have it. I'll try to remember to look for it when I get home today, damn rememberer isn't what it used to be -
I would still work on that, get ahold of the regional rep and tell him what happened. You have nothing to loose by stating the facts. Even if they will give you a new pump and you put it on is still a reasonable option.
-
Bob, If the bike is still under warranty then I would have Yamaha replace it. Even if your just out of warranty sometimes you get lucky and the dealer will still replace it under warranty, it's a known issue.
-
Likely excuse, your gonna get blamed for it no matter what the circumstances of it's disappearance!
