Help, Turn Signals Quit.
buddy replied to motorbiketim's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
The flasher & canceling unit are side by side in the left fairing area mounted on the inner side of the splash guard,remove the whole left side glove box assembly or radio assembly which ever you might have and you will see them just under the upper vent tube area. buddy -

I used a whole can on my 83 with only 1 - 2 gal. drove it for 4-5 miles then fill it up.Done this several times on my cycle - truck - car with no damage. Like Spud said it might have trash in the carbs?? fill the gas tank up and see how low it was from empty?or switch it over to reserve might be below the main feed? buddy

Ok guys I like Amsoil but I had to switch due to it causing my cycle to use oil? don't know why but it was .Over time I was using 1qt of oil,Asked a buddy of mine who is retired from cycle mechanic,if he knew what was going on.He asked what oil was I using so I told him and he said switch motor oil,so I tried Rotella T stoped the oil use but my gears were getting harder to shift,So I tried the New Mobil 1 gray cap runs great, gears shift real good now,still full of oil after 2,500miles. buddy

Hey Marcarl, I just installed a V-Max final drive,When I went to remove the rear tire and final drive assembly I still had plenty of grease left on the splines,The grease has MOLY,so as long your grease has MOLY you will be covered.. The unit had 7,000 mi before I removed it. If you get it on your hands good luck taking it off its not like regular grease. Buddy

If you would like more info. on Amsoil oil go to www.amsoil.com . They have more info. than I can explaine. Compaire Amsoil & Mobil 1 you will see they are almost the same.both very good in my books. I use Amsoil because wallie world cannot keep mobil 1 instock,half the time they forget to order more oil,So I just stay with Amsoil,order it over the net,del. straight to my door within 3-4 days. When I bought my venture off the first owner he said he used only Mobil 1 cycle oil,so I didnot change oil for sometime,later on the water pump started leaking out the weap hole so I took it apart to rebuild,once I was inside I looked around and found that it was like new.and this bike had over 50,000mi... WOW looked further in and everything in perfect order,So Mobil 1 does its job! So either way Amsoil cycle oil or Mobil 1 cycle oil you will be getting your money worth,I know they are high,but they go a long long time

Hey Justjack, I worked for goodyear for 10yrs,they call this dry rott,due to the compound in the tire breaking down.This does not mean the tire will come apart but being on a bike I won't want to test my luck.Being a 2005 tire this should be under full waranty,a dealer would take a depth reading on your tread and do a adjustment off of that,if your tire has not been worn down much it should be under full warranty just be out money on shipping-taxes-tire mounting. I have a am41 avon on my bike #1804 tire still looks new and has no dry rott,best get it done soon for a better warranty adjustment buddy
