Clutch Up Grade Ordered
Squidley replied to T.J.'s topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)

I had a set on my '99 and loved them, I know Freebird has run them also and was very pleased with them. They are only 2nd to Avon Venoms in my opinion. I got about 13K out of the tires before a spike took the rear tire out and totalled the bike. I'd buy another set in a second and not think twice about it

Send him over to Rick Butler here on the site and have Rick do his mod to the seat. I know there are quite a few here that have had Rick redo their seats and love it

Thats what I do with everyone I do, 400 grit wet sand and just enough pressure to take the glaze off. I install the original disc's back in and remove the half disc in the back and replace it with a full one that the kit includes.

He's in a long list of company, they dont last long and can be hard to find and expensive. Has he looked into the option of a Russell Daylong or other mfgrs?

My buddy and I were always at the kitchen table cleaning the pistols when one showed up. My friend would talk with him and how much he liked shooting, show him range targets with the centers gone. His next responce would be when are you having my daughter home?

How do I identify a bad ignition coil?
Squidley replied to Tartan Terror's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Now I'm not positive as far as the compatability of the 1st gen caps to the 2nd gen, but I would hazard a calculated guess that the caps would be the same. The only issues I see would be the wire size (which is 7mm on the 1st gens) and the resistor inside the caps being the same. Perhaps Goose has some insight on this. -
I too look forward to our eventual meeting, ah yes that 4 letter word that I wont have to live

Squidley replied to Tartan Terror's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Scott, The wires are actually molded into the coil, you can't replace just the wires from the coil as is the case on the 1st gen. Like Goose has mentioned the cap can be replaced from the wire. Gibvel's idea for heat shrinking the wires would probably be your best bet. -
Thanks TJ, I really appreciate the offer my friend. If you dont get to the clutch today let me know and you could ride the bike over and I could help you.

Doesn't look like she's camera she either, I remember my Grandsons when they were little like that. These are the days you'll remember forever, Cool Beans!

Clutch Up Grade Ordered
Squidley replied to T.J.'s topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
The phone is on TJ should you need to use it It's all good Jack, I'm right with you on the maintenance. I change out every fluid when I get a new to me bike. The '99 was the 1st one I ran out of time on before we left...I only had it 10 days before we left on that 10000 mile trip- 21 replies

A heartfelt thank you to both of them and to you for serving Semper Fi

Clutch Up Grade Ordered
Squidley replied to T.J.'s topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I dont disagree with you Jack, and I couldn't agree more with you on the friction discs. Everyone I have mic'ed have been at the stock thickness. I will disagree though as when Lonna and I came to Susanville, I had just swapped my brake fluid in Vogel. Did a complete swapout as I lost my clutch in Knoxville TN with Freebird and knew it needed swapping. I then proceeded to head out to California and by the time I got there the clutch was slipping. When we headed back and stopped at the 1st PIP it was really getting bad. I replaced it when we got back home and never had an issue since. Good thought to check the fluid 1st, but as many as I have seen on the G2's it's been the spring plate failing- 21 replies

Your part of the family here Gary, that is with or without a bike. God does work in mysterious ways, I know how I felt after our accident. Get the body in shape and the mind will follow, you know the drill, he is driving from above
