Lewis and Charlene... Congrats on your years together. May there be many more good ones...

Good luck Steve. Let us know next week how it went? The sun has come out this afternoon, and when I walk down the road, it looks like its raining, but its just the snow melting off the tree branches.

I haven't bought anything there. Thought I remembered them having very good prices when I was looking at some new bikes. Maybe bad memory here.

How can they be the largest dealer in the South and still go out of business????? A lot of people have bought there and their prices have been substantially discounted. They just have list prices on their web page, so if someone is interested in something, contact them and talk.

Servicing swing arm bearings
RandyR replied to hillrider's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
here's a sleeperhawk thread on the subject. http://venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=46535 and read this thread carefully. There is an ERROR in the service manual Caught by Rick Butler.. So I saw that the torque for the left pivot bolt was 72 ft/lbs but when I saw that the right side pivot bolt was 51 ft/lbs. This didn't feel right so I checked my 1st gen manual and it showed 4.3 ft/lbs. Those Bozos forgot the decimal point and it should have been 5.1 ft/lbs and 7Nm! I even had a newer RSV manual that I had borrowed from a friend when I gave GigaWhiskey both of my manuals for the Texas Work Day, and it showed the same thing, 51 ft/lbs. So, for you guys who have a RSV Service Manual, go to page 7-72 and put a decimal between the 5 and 1 for the right pivot bolt torque. Now if you always use newton meters for your torque settings, you will be ok because 7 Nm is right. http://venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=28269 -
In the county I live in their are special social services counsellors known as childrens advocates that are empowered to look into family situations and make recommendations if there is compelling evidence. In general, I'm very leary of ever encroaching police/governmental intrusion, but this may be a time when its needed.

Much the same here in north Georgia. At least 4, maybe 6 inches of snow. One of the better snows I've seen in the 20 years I've been in Georgia. I may get energetic and put on my knickers and go cross country skiing. then again..... Here's a picture out the front door. Maybe 8 inches of snow.

08 RSV clutch question
RandyR replied to BigBear's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I had the same thing happen to me last summer. Bought a K&L speed bleeder, worked fine on the brakes, then I moved it to the clutch and after a few pumps, it didn't close properly and started letting in air. The bike was 10 years old and it looked like the clutch fluid hadn't been changed in a long time. Lots of crud in it. I expect that a piece of crud got caught in the speed bleeders valve. So I went to the manual method too. I had to run a lot of new fluid thru the clutch to get it to stay clear, after wiping out the bottom of the reservoir carefully. -
Yes there is a code under the key cover on the gas cap. It is NOT the key code for either my RSV or my RSTD.
-
these V4's are sweet engines. Looking forward to seeing the bike at Maintenance Day in Oberlin Ohio in late spring.

I ordered a metric caliper and an led light string from a China ebay seller in Nov and haven't received them yet. I sent an email thru the ebay resolution center and the seller offered to refund my paypal or if I could wait another week. Its only about $20, so I said I'd wait, but it smells a lot like a scam.

you may be just a little carb sync away from success...? assuming it isn't a weak spark for one of the previously mentioned reasons.

ATTN: Motor Rebuilders
RandyR replied to bongobobny's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I just bought the one in the ebay link, I should have it soon. You or anyone else local can borrow my copy. -
There's a lot of counterfeit $100 bills circulating. I wonder if the economy would collapse if all the counterfeits would suddenly evaporate?

I think you should demand a Mercedes to drive on the job, not some cheapo Volkswagen, its just an overgrown Beetle.

I'd like to know where exactly, because I looked and couldn't find the key code that way.
