I watched a video that said I should not use the clip style master link. They said they've had cases where they've come apart and damaged the motor or locked up the rear wheel. I don't have the riveting tool or the rivet style master link, so I guess it'll be awhile til it gets its new link Heres a video of the clip style link going together. Doesn't look too safe https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=clip+style+master+link&&view=detail&mid=542E7BEA8E0A6FCAE784542E7BEA8E0A6FCAE784&&FORM=VRDGAR

Well I had the fairing off over the winter and did some repairs on it. While I was in there I separated all of the electric plugs, including the plugs to the CMU and cleaned and treated with White Lithium Grease. Also I lubed the throttle cable while I was in there. While I had the plastic off I did the Acetone fix on most of it, but of course after 20 years of sagging in a certain direction some of that plastic decided it wasn't too into the idea of being solidly mounted back up. So I'm fixing that today. Also, I found my leak in the front tire. I guess its time to kill this tire prematurely...

Well, I got my new chain and sprockets for my CB 919. Ive never changed a chain before, though I'm sure its fairly straight forward. I'm only really confused on the link that you put together. I was a little disappointed in the fact that the chain just came covered in sawdust... Is this to pull the moisture off of the chain? Ive read that you need a special tool, but mine looks like it just slips on?

Have you given the rear master a few raps with a little hammer and punch? You might get just lucky enough for the little level sensor to break free.

I believe that warning is coming from the rear brake master cylinder. As far as the weak low beam, is it possible you've got the wrong headlight in, or the power to the low beam damaged at all

Soon as you're ready we'll have to try that bbq joint in Gretna. BY FAR my favorite bbq!!

Personally, I've always thought the first gen seat wildly out preformed the GW seat

I'll be removing the glass fuse panel soon as well. One of the holders is busted away from the plastic case

After @Prairiehammer showed me that little fuse box I found the fuse and that was the problem. I almost didn't look for the fuser though, because even with it popped I was getting 12 Volts at the red wire going into the amp

All my fuses were good. I'll have to get the volt meter out after I get back from the funeral tomorrow. More than likely gonna need a new amplifier. As an update on the clutch I just went ahead and ordered a master cylinder rebuild kit and will install it this week

Hey guys was cruising along when my radio just popped and shut off. I threw in my spare and it didn't turn on either so I went looking for fuses. Which fuse is the one that goes to the radio? I didn't see one labled radio and the ACC fuse was fine?

Done!

I'd love to see some pics of that 89!

I had straight through slip ons on my RSV. It sounds sweet at idle and when you're running her through the gears, but I couldn't help but think it sounded like a lawn mower going down the highway:bang head:

Don't need a Vmax when ya got a Venny!

Wow she sounds great!

In Beemer Nebraska the local Policeman parks his patrol truck inn front of the grain elevator and sits in his office. ive seem so many people grab a foot full of brake so he must be onto something!

I think if he rerouted his trip, everybody would think he flipped going to LA... Via Omaha

Yeah see in my head I was thinking cruising at 60 in sixth. That'd probably be low enough in RPMs to benefit from shifting into fifth. I do agree with you though, cruising 80 down the interstate I would leave it in 6th as well. 40mpg at 80 is more than good enough gas mileage

Have you guys tried riding in a lower gear on those windy days?

He'll Is just ride with that little weeper

Puc, you're an awesome dude! You made my day and basically hit the nail on the head! Hope you and tippy are doing good!

Just looking at the two side by side makes me like the SVTC even more. Puts that bat wing to shame!

I should've just looked at your profile info on the right of the screen! I'd love to meet up sometime maybe go for a ride and get some grub! I GOTTA see this 83 you've been dumping love and cuss words into!!!

I was going through old posts and I saw one about 9 years ago that I started and Yammer Dan chimed in with a big old paragraph of help. I didn't realize I knew him or many of you other guys for that long! You people really are an amazing extended family. I wish I could properly put thought to paper, but I cant, so I'll just say this the best I can! I LOVE MY VENTURE RIDER FAMILY!!!
