Carbon-One Lift Adapter
Squidley replied to OB-1's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Larry's adapter is top notch, he is a master fabricator in my book, and I have been doing it for better than 20 years. I have one as well and have used it numerous times. Anyone with a G2 that does their own work needs to have one in their garage.- 56 replies

Developed a vibration-what to check?
Squidley replied to Midrsv's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Dennis, It has a 5 year warranty...let the dealer look at it if you trust them. I would also check the steering head bearings, I know it sounds dumb, but I have found strange vibrations disappear by tightening the steering head and the swing arm. -

Cars are actually my 1st love, I'm a gearhead from back when I was in my teens. I would still be into them, but it's so expensive to redo a car anymore, and I dont have that kind of cash Those are some very nice rides, I especially like that VW Bug with the V8 in it. That would be one squirrely car even if the motor wasn't built

Hydraulic clutch adjustments
Squidley replied to Seaking's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
If you have a large piece of glass or something VERY flat, thats what I would use. I actually set the sandpaper on the flat surface and swirl the plate on top of it in a circular motion. This is how I have done all of the clutch upgrades that I have, which is about a dozen now, with no issues. I have installed all but one of them with the PCW kit, you wont have any problems with it- 19 replies

Dont know how I missed this thread when it 1st came out but my very 1st bike (other than a mini bike) was a 1980 Kawasaki KX125. My very 1st street bike was a 1975 Kawasaki 750 triple 2 stroke, that was a VERY fast bike. It was good reading the responces, like many of you, I have been on 2 wheels for a long time

When we had the '07 International rally in Ft. Collins, CO. I didn't get the chance to ride anywhere nears what I wanted to. I do know that the Candian crew did about 2K miles there when we attended the rally. My greatest regret is I didn't get but 300 miles in there, but I'm looking to go back

Hydraulic clutch adjustments
Squidley replied to Seaking's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I have used 400 grit wet/dry on a very flat surface, you dont need to go crazy, just take the glaze off. What clutch did you end up getting? I have had great luck with the PCW out of Schenectady NY.- 19 replies

Mike, You can look in the forum under the Rides and Rallies area at the M&E section. This will have all the M&E that are being planned around the country. 2nd option is post up a M&E in NC and have one of your own. There is a saying here "Plan it and they will come" find a decent restraunt or Ice Cream parlor and set a time and date, it's really that easy

Help --- '99 Won't Start
Squidley replied to Highwayman's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I'll 2nd the fuel pump, listen to hear if it's working and I would tap on it to see if it intermittenly clicks. Did you pull a plug wire off and stick a plug in to see if you do have spark. Also wiggle the ignition key around a little bit, might be the switch is going bad. Fill in a few of the gaps here and we'll help you figure it out -
Good to see that you haven't forgot how to stir up chit Charlie

I have run the Avon Venoms for many years and love the tire. Problem is tires are very subjective to how you ride and the conditiond you put them through. I have heard good things about the E3's, but they are going to have to be spectacular to change me over from the Avons. You wont be sorry with the Venoms.

I know, I know....
Squidley replied to MasterGuns's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Gunny, Perhaps you didn't get all the air out of the lines. I know that I am still chasing some air in my brakes, perhaps another round of bleeding will do the trick
