    Been running it in my Ventures for years, I have used the Dino stuff on the older ones, never had any problems with it

    I'm not 100% positive, but I believe that the '83/'84 might be a bit different than the later years. I know there will be some 1st genners offer up a bit more positive responce.

    I have relocated several of them and I didn't cut anything off. I routed the wires to the left of the airbox and then ran a screw right through the stock ear and into the top of the airbox. The wires were a bit tight but worked well, never had an issue with the faux cover setting on, I'll see if I can drum up some pics, I know I took some of it.

    Interesting website, looks like we can use some of his experience in some of the rides for next year

    Just plain junk on the Ventures, I have said it time and time again. Although many folks dont know me, I will NEVER recommend Metzlers to anyone. Metzlers responce to all that have complained is you run your pressure too low. Thats fine, I'll be the worst word of mouth to their company that I can be. Good luck with them, they suck to deal with, you might just have to bite the bullet and get a different set of tires and chalk it up to experience
  14. Squidley
    No you dont need to keep the original tires for warranty purposes, if any dealer tries to tell you that, they are full of crap. Yamaha puts 2 different mfgrs on the Venture Dunlop and Bridgestones, both tires suck in my opinion

    When you have tried to start it, has all the dash lights and everything gone off? The very 1st thing I would do is clean and check all your connections from the battery. Check the ground which is on the right side of the engine down at the very forward of it. Make sure all your connections are clean and tight. If that doesn't cure it the I would pull the starter switch assy apart and see if it's corroded, do the same with the kill switch. Just be care ful when you pull them apart as ther are lots of small parts. Take your digital camera and take pics as you pull it apart so you have a reference to how it goes back together. Let us know how you fare and we'll help you get it figured out.

    Trailer ?

    Squidley replied to star4772's topic in Watering Hole

    I checked out that link, it looks like a nice trailer, but it seems too good to be true for that price Call it the cynic in me, but $2K for a Vnose enclosed trailer doesn't seem on the up and up

    Ok Folks, As of right now we have $1178.59 towards the goal of $3K, and I thank all of you that have been able to donate. I will be keeping this up top and visible so we can meet our goal. Bobbie stated in the beginning that for her enduring this is worth $3K and I respect her for that. I will get one regardless of what we raise, but if you all want to see Bobbie get one also, we NEED to meet that $3K mark. It is going well and were past 1/3 of the way to getting to our goal. Lets keep it going, remember many small donations will make this happen. Big ones are nice, but slow and steady wins the race. I'll keep up with the updates as they happen, Thank you all again that have donated

    You might be opening a can of worms if you disconnect them. What type of pads are you running? I would suggest a different set of pads to begin with. I always use the EBC HH pads on all my bikes. The 1st gens, especially the 1200 cc ones had lousy brake systems. I would bleed the entire brake sysytem if you haven't done it yet and go to a different pad if you are still on organics....0.98 less than a buck.

    John, I see that your on an '86, dont know if you knew about the linked brakes. If you have air in the rear, more than likely it's in the left front too as that is part of the rear petal brake system. The 1st gens can be a bear to bleed, I have done many of them. You might have to bleed that entire system to get it working right. Also there is a bleeder up by the steering head bearing that leads to the front caliper. Check that out as well and try to bleed it from there.
