    If you do that, dibs on fairing pieces...

    I'll give you a very strong "Maybe" on that. If we do we will be interested in a Cabin... The 13th - 17th would work slightly better for me.

    I should have one without key laying around. PM me your addy...

    I've seen amps go for less than $100 on ebay. Lots of dealers sell the dash units and then sell the amp separately...

    Such a shame and who's to blame we're all the same When life's no game We work and tuil and till the soil and change the oil in our Venture Royale Hoping for a chance to ride and put our many tasks aside But we all know deep inside to our tasks we must abide So to you I wrote this verse remember, things could be much worse With nothing found inside your purse and nothing left to do but curse So in this website we must lurk Feeling somewhat like a jerk as the coffee starts to perk I must leave, it's time for work...

    I know the feeling, Allen, and our riding season is soooo short! You just gota make the time. Any time you want to go riding just give a call, and maybe if I'm not too busy as well we can ride...

    I'll third that, especially seeing as things started working by themselves again like magic. Worst case senerio, replace the whole assembly. They pop up on ebay quite often.

    Hey Dexx I wish I would have known you were coming thru. Unfortunately we were at a wedding last night. I think I have seen that same bike going thru Springville a month ago. If it was on Rt 39 towards the west side of town it would have been Koike Aronson Inc. I will have to keep my eyes out for that but I don't get over that direction that much. Work is the other direction towards Rt 16 for me and I do very little business in town. Thanks for the heads up!

    I always wanted an electronic "Something!!!" I have no idea whatsoever what that thing is either...

    I could probably help you out with a mirror, clutch hose if you don't take the other one, 4 way flasher and some of the relays. The plastic pieces are going to be a little hard to find cheap. Just keep watching ebay for those parts but the dash parts tend to be pricey. Sorry, but I already gave away my fairing panels... PM me.

    GeorgeS has given you some good advice. I personally am thinking contaminated carbs based on when the problem started but it could be coincidental to another failure. You may want to pull your airbox cover and observe whether your sliders are working or not. You may have developed a pinhole in one of your diaphrams... Also, with airbox cover and filter out, it's a good time to spray a can of carb cleaner down the throats.

    Vermincelli; Oh, good, Jimbo answered the question for you! I haven't installed yet and am not planning on doing so until next spring when I completely flush the cooling system and replace the water pump. I really haven't had any cooling system issues yet, but decided to "overhaul" the system next spring to keep things that way. Sooo, couldn't give you a comparison either! The swap is well documented by the dealer and well presented. I have no regrets at all buying...

    Yes, the whole idea of it is to coat the metal and prevent corrosion. The tightness of the two connected surfaces scrapes off the grease where they actually mate, and leave a bead of grease around it, making it somewhat waterproof and corrosion proof. It is NOT conductive, and therefore the metal must be clean and contamination free prior to applying the dielectric grease. Yes, a little goes a long way and any excess should be wiped off! If the two metal surfaces do not rub and scrape the grease of, you have some serious problems with the conector anyway and the grease won't do a thing...

    Any time, brother, any time!! We share a lot more in common than you think!! Perhaps Marcarl and wizard 765 and us can meet for dinner in Ft Erie or St Catharines or something as well!
  15. bongobobny
    ...And matched plugs to boot!!
  16. bongobobny
    Fantastic info!! You are welcome to come down and supervise when I redo the replacement later 1st gen front forks I have for my scoot!!! Ask Wizard 765, we feed you well!

    Although I haven't checked mine, 14.6 volts is a normal voltage for charging in most automotive charging systems. To adequately charge, you want to be over 12 volts...

    Yes, Mike, take the 2 screws off and remove your chrome cover and you will find it towards the front of your middle engine cover. The top of the rubber cover goes across, not up/down. It sorta snapsm into place...

    Are you sure it is not coming out of carb overfill tube? If it is, betcha you have a stuck needle valve that has a piece of crud in it...

    DOT 4?? Hmmm, seems to me mine said use nothing but DOT3 but you are newer than me. Anyway, I rebuilt master and slave, and replaced both rubber hoses. Just filled, pumped it up, and gravity bled and that was that. Used synthetic DOT3. Feels like a new clutch...

    Plan A could very easily go from $ to $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Don't ask how I know...

    Bummer!!! Would love to see pictures with pieces of grass stuck to clear coat:stirthepot: I don't have any spare except what's on the '85 but I'm probably going to need them as it looks more and more like I'm gonna turn it into a running bike again. I'm sure someone has one, if not they go fairly cheap on ebay...
  23. bongobobny
    Yup!! Front fender is one in the same... Sean is an excellent dealer. Those front chrome pieces are sought after. What is even more expensive and rare is the chrome rear piece for the front fender! I lucked out and bought one of those attached to a gold fender for around what that piece is going for right now. Unfortunately, had the black plastic rear piece...

    You may also be missing a rubber foot or two on the bottom of the trunk causing the vibrations...
  25. bongobobny
    Hmmmm. Pull the air cleaner and watch what is happening with the butterfly valves as you blip it. Waste a spray can of carb cleaner thru the throats while running. May be gummed up throttle plates or sliders...
