I presume you're talking about a 1200vmax engine in a venture?

Looks like it will be the Spring version of Helen's Octoberfest? I'd have to find a designated driver....

A riding buddy of mine has a 1200cc vMax. I've ridden it a couple of times. Lots of acceleration and too quick for my tastes. It has too high of a seat for my 30inch inseam. Researching the vMax engine after riding my friend's is what brought me to buy my RSTD a few years ago, as I liked the idea of a somewhat tamed version and the ability to flat foot it.

Noise like a fan belt squeek
RandyR replied to jrsain's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
not sure what the problem is but 50wt oil is for air cooled engines, not water cooled like ours. -
member wes0778 is Walter. His son is Wes. Wes has a Hyosung that has been at several VentureRider Rallies in the recent past. You'll see it in the pictures from Vogel and MD in 2009/10 (I think)

ask Wes

so what happened? sounds like an infection got in some way.

Ok, since kbran has hinted at how its done. Southern cooking doesn't use recipe's. Ya just add a little of this and that until it tastes right.

Yet Another Tire Question
RandyR replied to leo3wheel's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I got 10,000 out of the oem Bridgestone on my RSTD before it was shot. I expect the trike is harder on tires than an RSTD. You'd be pushing it to do a 3k rt. If you have room to pack the new front, then maybe have it mounted halfway into your trip somewhere while keeping an eye on the old one. -
I've yet to visit the Wheels Through Time motorcycle museum in Maggie Valley. Maybe I could get up there to visit the museum while you're in Maggie Valley. http://www.wheelsthroughtime.com/images/stories//bodyphotos/mckenraffle.jpg http://www.wheelsthroughtime.com/

August is good. I'll probably just ride up from Georgia on Saturday as I have done in the past.

RandyR replied to wfdyer1's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
I'd hang in here a while. some people have converted to the larger carbs and are likely to have a set of the origonals looking for a new home.- 6 replies

I'd run a couple tanks of gas heavily treated with Seafoam or maybe Techron concentrate or BG44, before tearing into the carbs. let it set a few hours in the carbs and ride it again.

Shortcuts
RandyR replied to 2010pburgfish's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
You shouldn't need to worry about valve adjustment until 26,000 miles. If you just want to do it because you'll be going thru everything, then contact me when you get close to the time and I'll send you a shim kit with tool, or buy a new set of gaskets from sky_doc and he'll loan you his kit. if the bike will be off the road while you work on it, get a good set of metric feeler gauges that can measure in 0.01mm increments from 0.10mm up to 0.30mm, pull the valve covers,and measure the clearances per threads in tech section or in the maintenance manual. If the clearances are within spec, you don't need to worry about having a tool or spare shims and can put it back together for another 26,000 miles.- 2 replies
