I disconnected the AD on my Venture because when I was sitting at a light with the brakes on the voltage dropped into the basement. That situation was due mostly to my stator being on it's way out at the time. Didn't notice any excessive dive issues afterwards and the voltage did not drop as much when sitting with the brakes applied. Now that the stator is fixed the AD could probably be reattached but can't see much point to having them.

If you are referring to re-soldering the connector pins in the Class controller then the answer is no those connectors only affect the Class. I was in a similar situation to you. My Class only worked if I jammed the controller connector with a piece of cardboard and I was never very successful at soldering. Anyway, I tried it and didn't get it fixed. Turned out my soldering iron wasn't getting hot quick enough probably because it was a cheap one. After a while I got a better soldering iron and the job got done real easy. As is probably mentioned in the Tech article, the solder needs to be re-flowed on the connector pins. That needs to happen fairly quickly or the heat will transfer too far and start to melt the solder farther away from the pin which can lead to cross connecting the traces with dribbles or runs of solder.

Can't talk about a fuel injection bike but my 95 Mustang is fuel injected and it has been sitting in my back yard or in my carport for about 6 years without being driven depending on where it is out of the way. I put some Seafoam in the tank and disconnected the battery. It starts and runs just fine anytime I have to move it. Expect you are not planning to leave a bike alone for that long so would probably be just fine.

Never heard of that product before. Looks great but it is indeed pricey. Like the 90 degree valve stem extension as well. Might have to wait awhile but that is going on my Christmas list. Thanks for the heads up.

This is the one I bought 2 years ago at Walmart in Cody for $9.00. [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Slime-40020-Tire-Top-Inflator/dp/B002ZC1EOM/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1373170560&sr=8-14&keywords=slime+compressor]Slime 40020 Tire Top Off Inflator : Amazon.com : Automotive@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51IyHA0wvjL.@@AMEPARAM@@51IyHA0wvjL[/ame] Today they cost $12.27 on Amazon.com and $41.73 on Amazon.ca. This pump works well but it does not last very long, probably due to a design flaw that allows the gear arm to slip off. I used mine about 5 times before it stopped working. They have a warranty which requires it be returned to where it was purchased. That of course was not going to happen so I emailed Slime about the situation and they mailed me a replacement with no questions asked. Can't beat that for customer service. After receiving the replacement I decided to open it up to see what was up. That's when I discovered the arm had come off the eccentric gear. Put it back on and used the pump 7 or 8 times before it fell off again. Fixed it again but used some blue Locktite that time and it lasted about a year before it stopped working for unknown reasons but suspect the switch went. Definitely worth the $9 I paid but would not be so satisfied if I had paid over $40. Never had to plug a tire but carry the Slime plug kit and the compressor just in case. The compressor is used to top up the tires when necessary. I really like the hose that threads onto the valve stem which dramatically reduces the amount of air that is lost when detaching it. Sure wish I could find a pressure gauge with that feature since I never seem to be able to get my pencil gauge lined up properly the first time.

I'm 6'3" but I don't have long arms. I have "average" arms, average being the spread of your arms is equal to your height. Some shorter people have longer arms and visa-versa for some taller folks. I too found turning the top bars down as far as they would go without hitting the tank cover in a tight turn was very beneficial. I did not suffer so much from arm fatigue but more wrist cramp from the unnatural bend angle at the wrists when holding the hand grips. I discovered this adjustment initially on my Virago which if anything had worse wrist angles when the bars were in the OEM position. In order to get a perfect alignment between the bars and my wrists with enough clearance to do a tight turn it was necessary to install taller risers. It is my intention to add some risers to the Venture so I can file off the little stopper knob on the Venture bars and drop them a little more. I did that too and it also helped. In order to shift cleanly it is necessary for me to move my heel forward onto the peg which raises my foot up snug against the toe shift lever. Not so great for fast shifting but works very well when riding for long distances. When my Venture stops falling apart I hope to have the time to come up with a way to move the shift lever and pegs farther forward.

So is Tequila. heeheeheehee [burp]

Hail to GOD. Point of clarification: For those who don't know, in some organizations admins are known as GOD, an acronym for Gatherer Of Data.

Instead of moving from Vancouver to Ontari-ari-io it might have been a better choice to simply hop the pond to VI. We haven't had much rain this Spring, no snow in the Winter and the temps during this heat wave have not quite reached 80F except for on Saltspring Island of course where for some reason there seems to be some extra hot air.

I had Spitfire II's on my Virago and found centre groove made the tire squiggly on steel bridge decks and tended to follow tar snakes. When I put E3's on the Virago there was no more tracking. As for the tread pattern being minimal, the E3's have softer rubber compounds on the edges and firmer in the centre which grip the road very well when cornering while still giving excellent wear on the highway. I got about 28,000 km from the Spitfire II's before they needed to be replaced. So far I have 32,000 km on the E3's which look to be about half worn. I put E3's on the Venture as well but since it spends more time in my shop than on the road I have no stats for it but it handles just as well. I ride all year in all weather except for when there is ice on the road and haven't insured my Mustang for 3 years. Take Earl's advice.

I think if you had a data plan then a smartphone or tablet might give you what you want. There are quite a few weather radar sites like this one that display currently active conditions.

Don't let yourself get hung up on getting Red River Cereal. Before I started using the cereal I used a combination of cracked wheat and whole flax seeds. I liked that the cereal was comprised of several different grains. When substituting anything the change in structure will affect the amount of liquid required. Flakes will react different from whole grains which will be different from cracked grains. I moved away from the whole grains because they are more difficult to digest and can move through your system untouched. I have started working a rye version of this recipe which substitutes rye flour for the whole wheat flour and uses molasses rather than sugar. This has changed the amount of water required. Probably due more to the molasses than the flour. Baking is like chemistry and requires strict adherence to quantity to get consistent results. And then there is the yeast which is like an X-factor... is it fresh or stale, is it meant for bread machines. I buy bulk bread machine yeast and keep it in the fridge in a sealed container but it comes from an open bin at the store. With all the trial and error adjustments there was only one loaf that was a real failure, small and dense, most of the adjustments were required to get the size of a slice to fit in the toaster without having to flip it over. I do ramble on don't I.

It probably is not too important but I have a 3 pound Black and Decker horizontal pan machine with two paddles. Despite what the recipe says Red River Cereal is a mix of cracked flax, wheat and rye and whole flax seeds. That is for substitution purposes if Red River Cereal is not available in the US. This recipe has a lot of fiber and so a couple of slices is almost a meal in itself. I'm passing this on as a warning for those who are not used to eating much fiber and I won't go into the consequences that might follow. Pegasus1300 Have you ever tried this bread "by hand"?: No I never have made bread by hand. I have thought of letting my bread machine do the mixing and kneading then put the dough in a pan for the final rise and baking. The only disadvantage I can think of when using a bread machine is the bread bakes around the mixing paddles so they need to be carefully cut out which, no matter how you slice it, leaves holes. I have on occasion made no-knead Ciabata bread and no-knead Foccatia bread. I do like the convenience of using a bread machine. It take about 30 minutes to assemble the ingredients and then you can forget about it for about 3 hours and 48 minutes. N3FOL We have a bread maker at home, but it looks complicated to use.: I understand some machines may be complicated but the two I have had were really simple to use. There are selections for 3 different sizes 1, 2 and 3 lb loaves. There are 3 selections for dark, medium and light. There is a menu selection for the type of bread. In this case I use the whole wheat one. This selection controls the length of time for kneading, rising and baking which would vary depending on the type of bread and the type of flour being used. It's pretty much automatic. Wade 2000 Sounds good! I just emailed it to the wife. She is a bread making guru so I have confidence I will be trying it soon. Thanks!: That would be great, I'm really looking forward to hearing how it turns out. Tell her when it first starts mixing it will look like it is way too wet but not to worry because the whole grains take quite a while to soak up the moisture. mini-muffin Thanks I'll try it. Might have to go to VA for some of the ingredients. One bad part about living here is the stores don't always have the stuff you want. I'll let you know how it turns out, when I get all the ingredients.: A lot of people are not familiar with quinoa, an ancient grain from the Andes, which is one of the few plants that has a complete protein. Our Costco sells it so I expect it should be available in most parts of the US. Apparently there is also some difference between Canadian flour and American flour that might require a slight modification in the amount of water being used.

For the past year or so I have been developing a whole wheat whole grain, high fiber bread recipe. I've now made about 20 loaves that are consistent in size and texture. Now that it is done I thought I would share it with anyone who was interested. The texture is much lighter than pumpernickel and somewhat firmer than store bought Ancient Grains or Squirrely type breads which would I guess make it a solid medium density bread. I use it for sandwiches and toast but it really shines in a panini press and as a hamburger "bun" because it doesn't turn into a gooey dough when eaten. Hearty Multigrain Bread Servings: 12 This bread is a medium textured loaf appropriate for sandwiches, spreads or eating with a meal. The texture is solid and hearty; yet light and sweet. Ingredients: A : Combine in bread pan: 1/4 c Red River Cereal (mixture of cracked flax, rye and wheat and whole flax grains) 1/4 c quinoa Heat 7 fl.oz. water to boiling (microwave 2min) and add to cereal. Let stand 20 minutes or longer, it's not critical Add 7 fl.oz. cold water. 2 Tbs olive oil 1/4 c packed demerara sugar or brown sugar as you prefer 1 tsp salt 1 egg B : Combine in bowl prior to adding to bread pan: 9 oz Multigrain or whole wheat bread flour 1/4 c gluten topped up to 9 oz mark with whole wheat flour 1/4 c flax seeds milled 1/4 c oats or nine grain cereal or porrige oats 1/4 c bran 1/4 c dry milk powder, buttermilk powder is even better C: Add on top of other ingredients in bread pan: 1 tsp bread machine yeast 1/2 c sunflower seeds raw 1/2 c pumpkin seeds raw Optional - add at ingredient beep 1/4 c sesame seeds or 1/4 c poppy seeds Directions: Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine. Do "part A" first to give extra time for soaking grains. Do "part B" and add to bread pan Do "part C". Select whole wheat cycle and 3 lb loaf. Start Note: When measuring flour - scooping with a measuring cup will pack more flour into the same volumn. The technique I use is to use a small scoop and "spoon" the flour into the measuring cup then shake to level a few times. If anyone decides to try this let me know how it goes.

To be exonerated it is necessary to have a trial. To have a trial it is necessary to be charged with an offence. No charges mean no trial which also means no exoneration for either party. Not the same kettle of fish here unless with your analogy you think the child is somehow to blame. In this case, one story is correct or the other one is correct or neither are correct. The "truth" often depends on witness statements. Through my job I get to observe a lot of trials in traffic court and I can tell you without any stretch of the imagination witness statements are not worth the powder it would take to blow them to Kingdom Come. Yah, sure, but that's just your side of the story. Thanks Rick...I think. Good to know you are in a corner anyway. In any event that is probably the safest place to keep you.

Yes, I'm back at work. Took one day off because the pain was too intense to work, actually to do much of anything, but after that it was bearable so I returned. We are somewhat shorthanded. It was on my work scooter which unfortunately was a total write off as it was almost new with only 2000 km. They just started to replace the Honda Jazz scooters, which were discontinued, with the Honda Giorno. I was riding the first replacement, kind of embarrassing to have wrecked it. It doesn't take much to total one of those little scoots. They are only about $2400 so even after two years it is questionable to do any major maintenance on them. I had put about 35,000 km on my last scoot over the course of about 18 months when the CV drive belt went on it. Someone was doing some math.

There are a few aches and pains remaining but for the most part I have recovered from the worst effect of the impact. Been trying to come up with something useful to take away from this incident but I got nothing except to thank my lucky stars since the consequences could have been so much worse It seems there are conflicting eye witness accounts so no charges are contemplated for anyone. Thanks for asking.

Not sure what the NO is for. It did seem that everyone was trying to copy HD for the cruisers. Nothing wrong with copying a big success story and also make a better, more reliable bike at the same time. Cruisers are not necessarily so good for touring although the 2ndGen Venture does a very good job but did not try to do it with a V-twin. A pair of V-twins is more than doubly better. A removable trunk was mentioned and the MkI has that feature, I think. Unfortunately Yamaha dropped it for the MkII. For me, the trunk is one of the things I miss the most when riding my Virago because that bike carries diddly squat. A relaxed seating position was mentioned, I think that was probably referring to the feet forward position of the 2nd gen rather than the feet under position of the 1st gen.

What's so good about a V-twin? Seems the only way to get enough power out of them is to make them bigger. Which around here means the insurance tax goes up. My Virago is 1100 cc and develops 62 hp while 750 cc in a 4 cylinder will put out 80-100 hp. HD is the only one to produce a V-twin that sounds really good but to do that they had to accept a lot of vibration. Would V-twins be so prevalent if there was no Harley Davidson? The best looking and most capable lights are HID projectors. Not on the list? I get driving lights and fog lights but what the heck are passing lights? Electric windshield.

Worked for me. Think you need a new computer.

Thanks to all for the good wishes, they are much appreciated. Still haven't heard anything from the "Powers that Be" regarding my situation. Surprisingly enough, my helmet showed no visible indication of damage or any type of contact. It does point out that a helmet is not necessary in every collision. That fact will never encourage me to ride anywhere without one though. Since the subject came up, thought I would put that little tidbit out there to give solace and support to those who like to live on the edge.

Ya, that was me. Put a pretty big dent in the truck but I'm alright, just a big pain in my chest with slight pain in my left arm and leg. Thanks for asking. I'm very upset at the moment though. Heard on the news about an hour ago that I will be charged with running a red light. Haven't heard from the police yet though but got a call in to them when they start work to find out for sure. The green light light countdown timer was at 2 when I entered the intersection so there was still lots of time for me to get across. Not sure how this is going to play out. In any case I was pretty lucky.

Gary, thanks for leaving the easy one for me. Clicks is what you should hear from the fuel pump. Up to 5 or 6 and then it will shut off. If the engine has not been started for a while it might be necessary to cycle the ignition once or twice more to get the carbs full.

Heard the same thing about Mexico. Have a couple of friends who got the work done just across the border from Yuma AZ for 1/3 to 1/2 what it would cost here. They are happy with the quality of work.
