Been a few years but yes, it is two kits per caliper, one kit for each side of the caliper on the front. The rear caliper is different from the front and is the same caliper used on the 2nd Generation Venture rears. Can't remember if the pads and kits are the same or not, it's been about 10 years since I did a 1st gen. Your brakes are the same for all MK2 which is '86 through '93. Now, before you spend all that money on the front calipers, I am going to highly recommend you REPLACE those calipers with calipers from a Yamaha R1/R6! They are much more efficient and cheaper to rebuild, and they bolt right on easy peasy! You want to get them from early 2000's as they changed later on to a version that won't bolt on. There are two versions, the "blue" dot and the "gold" dot. You want the gold dots as their pistons are anodized aluminum as opposed to the steel pistons on the blue dot ones. You will notice an improvement in breaking with the R1/R6 calipers as well! As far as the rear goes, the stock is fine, just remember the information I gave you about the 2nd gen calipers. Member Skydoc_17, Earl is a good person to buy parts from, he is honest and reasonable, besides being a heck of a good guy...

There are some wide blade aftermarket handles for the clutch and brake that I use and am happier with the feel of over the stock ones...

No, the YICS sets above the "twinkie." It is a plastic tank with 4 vacuum lines coming to it, one for each cylinder. How it works is it smooths out or equalizes the vacuum, sort of...

Of course!! I'm just wondering how the process will work, where to send my DD214 to, etc...

That's EXACTLY how we feel about it!

Vacuum leaks? With the age of the bike start by replacing ALL of the hoses. Another biggie is the seal around the center of the YCIS chamber, it develops leaks. Do a bead of sealant around the seam or do like some have done and eliminate it, as it works in theory but in actuality not so much...

Yes, unfortunately, we only have a couple of days left of our Western New York "spring break." The "S" word is back into the forecast again. We came close to 70 yesterday...

David, never EVER think that others are more deserving of you!! You SERVED this nation, and was willing, if needed, to give your life for the freedoms that sometimes I feel others have but may not deserve these days! (No, I still believe this country is the land of the free, but when people abuse their freedoms I begin to wonder...) I don't care if you were a reservist, national guard, etc, you still were willing to serve your country regardless!!

Are you receiving monthly disability checks, Dick? If not I strongly urge you to sign up for them! You are eligible for them and more so DESERVE them!! Be warned, it usually takes about a year for your claim to be processed, but the good news is you are paid from the date you applied, not the day it is approved!! I ended up with a check for over $12,000 when my claim was finally approved, and then when I applied for re-evaluation I got a check for over $20,000!

I just got an email from Snaggletooth and he brought me up to speed. Back in 2014 he had a heart attack and another in 2016 when they did a couple of stents and installed a pacemaker. Well, somehow he wasn't monitored as well as he should have been, and adjustments were not made, so this February he had heart attack number 3. Also, due to some artery issues, he is also suffering from kidney damage. He is on the mend but still has a long way to go yet so please continue to pray for him! For those that know him, you know Mike is a really decent guy and a pleasure to know. You may or may not know that Mike is also deaf! I did not know this until about 3 or 4 years ago when he told me. I have neve met him in person but we have been conversing for years through PM's and emails and I feel as we have become close friends! Mike is a very hard working and enthusiastic person and I'm glad to know him! He promises to keep me up to date, and if he can't then I'm sure his Daughter Ashley will let me know!

Yes, I read that on Facebook a couple of days ago! My question being just how do we go about proving we were honorably discharged?? I am very interested in this but wonder just how the prices will compare to Wharehouse Clubs like Sam's, BJ's, and Costco...

The PIAA is a great bulb, it's just a matter of Fifty bucks vs Fifteen!! Yes, I usually get my Sylvania Silverstar Ultras at Wally World, but they are available at just about any place that sells auto accessories...

The only way I knew about it is because Ashley sent me a friend request a while ago...

Hey Don, are you going to ask us which brand of oil to use next???

Yup, your mechanic is a DF! The tach is fed by electrical pulses from the TCI output to the number 2 coil...

Yup[, pretty sure that's the dates we decided on, at least the minutes from the meeting say so...

Just one coil. If you hook up all 4 coils it will read 4 times the RPM's. Now, here's a possible issue, each plug fires twice per revolution. The reason for the "fire" on the exhaust stroke is to burn off and residual gas that may not have burned on the power stroke. It's kind of an emissions deal. Your tach may read twice the actual RPM's...

I'm thinking this thread may be the answer... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?127222-Fried-relay-help-please

Gary, give Carl a break, he just traded in his Model T just a few months ago, stepped up to a model B I think...

Nope, no plug. Just hack into the blue line for running lights...

​HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all!!!

Hey, a boneyard is not going to know their a$$ from a hole in the ground sometimes...

Bad coil?? Bad plug wire cap??

Yup, just the 5 amp fuse in the fuse box, I think it is the box in the front cowling. The wires are kind of thin so I wouldn't think about any bigger fuse either...

OK, the first relay you showed with the multipin connectors IS your Starting Circuit Cut-Off Relay and Fuel Pump Relay Assembly!! There should be 11 wires all together on the connector, Blue/Black Blue/Red and Black/Yellow for the fuel pump, Blue/Yellow Red/Black Sky Blue and Blue for the SCCOR, Green/Red to the water temp warning light, Black/Red from the oil level switch, Black/White for the low oil level warning light, and Blue/White from the start switch. I looked at the Yamaha Electrical Information pdf and I'm sort of convinced it's on drugs!! Pretty vague as to where things go! From the RSV parts manual here's what I find under "Electrical 1" 40 1UY-81950-92-00 RELAY ASSEMBLY . . . . . . . . . 1
