  1. There is a rear 1st Gen progressive spring on E-Bay now.
  2. Don I didn't know how to delete thread. Found Progressives for 65 bucks but 15 bucks shipping is high for them. Posted thread before I looked at shipping. Don't know if I would pay that much. http://www.ebay.com/itm/83-93-YAMAHA-Venture-Royale-Progressive-Suspension-Front-Fork-Springs-Kit-/400267987146?hash=item5d31d4c8ca&item=400267987146&pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr
  3. Not chicken. Just getting smarter!!
  4. Mountainer Gas bought out the little company we had here. Price has more than doubled in last two years. Fellow came by to change the meter out. I asked him Whats the matter the old one not charging enough?? He didn't care for that and wanted to get smart about it.
  5. Yeah all this free time you get with the retirement?? I can't figure out how I had time to work!!
  6. TCI is under battery box and forward. Takes a little work and a flex shaft but those screws will come out most of the time. Just make sure you are using right bit and getting good bite on them. Easy to strip heads if you aren't carefull. If it has been moved it might be on top of Air box.
  7. I got 2 gallon!!:rotfl::rotfl:
  8. I'll be in the Red Roof Inn. Listening to the frogs!! Or was that Charlie??
  9. If your 98 has the battery phrobe it is supposed to tell you when water is low. May have been changed out. Read tech library. Don't overtighten those shoulder bolts. read book on torque. Only 7 lbs I think??? Coolant as long as it is approved for aluminum engines. Use a good brand. Springs are really easy just be very carefull putting those caps back on and don't crossthread. Faring is not that hard to remove. Just get something to put your small parts in. Power outlets. Really just where they would be handy for you. spen a little more and get the ones with a good cover. I prefer the black instead of the chrome so it blends in with the panel. Yamaha now sells a tube of grease that contains Molly grease. I bought a tube of this but no reports on it yet. A lot of guys use the Honda Molly grease but they were out when i went after it. The Yamaha stuff is cheaper for more grease. Honda grease is used for rear driveshaft and pins. I'm thinking it or the Yamaha would be good for steering head?? Fixing the Tabs there are a lot of ways to go. I've used ABS glue with good luck. JB Weld can be good. The next time I'm going to try the melting metal into it i think. A paper clip would really make a tab stronger bent in the right shape around it.
  10. Grease that speedometer good before you put it back in.
  11. You must remove windsheild and trim. Screws that hold dash unit are on the sides of it. Lift out entire unit.
  12. NO and NO thats why I use it!!!:clap2:
  13. Good one Jason. I replaced my wires just because they were 25 yrs old. The end caps fail a lot more than the wires do. Rick's on here keeps those in stock.
  14. I been Dusted enough!! I can see where that thar garage is supposed to be!! Where I would be hiding!!:bang head:
  15. Great to see you on here Dano!! Hope your year is full of Great healing!! Don't rush things!!!! Hope to see you this Year!! And you are back to a 1st Gen so you can help with these pesky 2nd Genners this winter!!!
  16. I saw it but didn't look very close. I buy Sea-Foam by the gallon. Got last Gallon from Advance Auto for 42 bucks with Promo code.
  17. Just run the crap out of it!! These big V-4s like to sing!! Uae a good oil and change it as you should. Look for a couple hundred thousand smiles before it is broke in.
  18. I ain't gonna use that word Bubber but we got about 6 or 7 inches of something white out there!! And its growing!!:snow2:
  19. Should be easy for the 2nd Genners!!! Hope Everyone has a Great year!!:clap2:
  20. See you got a real cold spell coming the last of the week. White crap coming down pretty good this morning. Looks like somebody traded me a white car for my red one already. think I'll go back to bed..
  21. There is a way to stop the oil leaks without pulling covers. But if you need to get in there to do valves anyway...
  22. :whistling::whistling:
  23. Sorry Margaret. No words help at times like this.
  24. Hey Kic. looks like we will have to wait for them to recharge again. We usually just stop at DQ and wait on them!!!
