oldgoat replied to oldgoat's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
just cant find that pesky leak it runs down the right side of the frame faceing the bike from the top to the shift lever then down onto the ground? i will try and get some pics to show.. now this drip does not start untill the bike has warmed up for say 4 to 5 minutes and only when i shut the bike off and put it on its side stand? radiator leak in the back? only leaks when under preasure? how hard is it to pull that radiator? i will not put aditives in a motorcycle like stop leak stuff like that. i just dont believe in doing that to a bike. -
well i decided it was time to take the scoot out for a ride. nice 70 degree day. i went to the storage place noticed the rear tire was low(expected that) brought along a poratable tank for that job. got the tire up. started the old girl up still needs half a choke? carb snyc due? well after a breif warm up a little sputering off we went. things are going good. 75 mile ride round trip. i thought oh joy joy i got most of the bugs out of this old girl. i put her away in the storage shead got off put my helmet away when the old girl gave me a tearfull green leak on the floor? yep small antifreze leak. have no clue where its comming from?? the leak is dripping on the left side as you sit on the bike. right by the exhaust header or inbetween? i got so much$$ invested in this bike now. i just cant give up on her can I? i must say in august i might get a second bike and send this one out to a fellow member here who would like to take the time to go through this bike of course i expect to pay for services renderd. so if any one wants to work on it during winter time and if i can get it to you let me know james aka oldgoat

i stayed there too big tom but was a rookie so didnt know you then. i was treated to free porn sounds from the next room the first night i stayed there. also like you supper was about the same for me as well. i also asked for a few extra towels to step on while getting out of the shower due to my bad knee at the time i didnt want to slip and fall. they never brought them. also the tabble lamp bulb was burnt out. i found hair in 2 of the dresser drawers. makes me wonder about how good they clean? this year god willing i will either pitch a tent at freebirds or go to the other motel. just my opion

oldgoat replied to dingy's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
just a quick question? is that a metal battery box now and wont that some how affect a battery.? i know from my old days that placeing a battery on concrete or metal some how drained them. but what do i know? -
well first i need a garage. as i live in an apartment second thing i need is a full time mechanic who is willing to work for no pay just a hand shake a thank you and ice cream any takers on the second ?

just had all 4 rotors and of course all new pads done and had a heart attack at the cost to do this was$485.00 but i went with the best pads and rotors out there. 2 year warrenty on the rotors and suppose to be limited life time pads? lets just say when it comes to my safety i think this was not a bad price. im to crippeld up to do this myself. also got a free wash and wax and carpet vaccum and top the fluids windshield ect. and one free tire rotation and oil change at 3000 miles that in it,s self impressed me with this shop and no it,s not the tire shop that did this.. just that i had 10,000 miles on these old rotors and pads so i guess i cant blame the tire shop. but gee dont ya think they would have noticed this when they did my tires? but all is well and im back on the road with good brakes and knowing im safe out there for myself as well as others...

yep pedal pulsates steering wheel shakes only when i start useing the brakes then it shakes the steering and pedal pulsates. and i here a clack clack noise inside? this started yesterday so cant say for sure the tire shop did this? but im willing to place money on it. these are aloy wheels and i hope they didnt due something to the rims as well. i did call them they said it test drove out fine. what the ehll they talking about. how do you test drive tires? as thats all they do. 4 brand new goodyear tires and they dont look at things when the wheels are off?? hmm not going back there again. i was given a price of just over $200 for rotors possible need brake pads and labor that sounds fair to me.

ok i have a 2005 pontiac grandprix i had new tires installed about 3 weeks ago. now my front end shakes while braking? are the darn rotors warped? it goes shaky shaky and the whole steerring shakes.? while brakeing? im not sure if these new type rotors can be turned down like i use to back in the 70,s and 80,s. also could the shop have done this by useing a impact wrench? seems like you should just snug them and tork them like the old days and do it in a pattern? i know im old school shade tree mecahnic from the old days when a cresent wrench screwdriver ductape and a few choice #### words could keep it running but these new cars are way beyond my old school knowledge.
