  1. I have been brake doing maintenance on my 83 VR.I changed my front pads and changed my fluid.No problem with that part. I changed my rear Brake pads ,drained my fluids and bled my system.It was working but now I have no rear brakes. I undid my Rear bleeder and did a reverse bleed with a fluid pump I had figuring I had an air bubble or something.Filled the rear reservoir too .I took the caliper off and inspected it.I pushed on my break pedal and there was no pad movement.I losened the rear bleeder on caliper and pushed the bake break.No fluid movement.When I take the bleeder out I can see fluid in the chamber. Could there be a problem with my rear master cylinder?Anybody have ideas or have I just missed something? Thanks all. Ray
  2. We any of you have any Venturerider swag on?
  3. I installed the fixed muffler today.My welder did a great job and you have to look hard to see the repair.I am putting on other pipes later..
  4. I picked up the pipe today.I hope it installs well.will keep you posted.
  5. I will be there
  6. What is RTV and where do I get it?
  7. Thanks for your help Brian,
  8. Well I checked and the leak happens after a run.It seems to be coming from under the or near the middle gear cover.Thanks for the insite.I am going to attempt to order the parts from my dealer. When I talk about my bike to them , they give me funny looks.Does anyone know if there is a kit I can buy online for this problem.? Thanks all.
  9. Hi All.I checked and the muffler broke near the collector flang. I took it to a welder today and he says he can fix it.The bikes in pretty good shape and my pipes are mint.If he cant save it, I will put the word out and try to buy a pair from one of you kind people. I am abit pissed because I lent my bike to a guy to take a test ride on it last year and he popped a wheelie and it came down hard.I think thats what cracked the pipe. Make sure you dont lend your bike out to idiots....
  10. I was out running my VR83 and stopped for ice cream,When I came out I noticed an oil leak under my bike.My bike never leaked anything.I did not think about it untill I got home.As soon as I turned it off,oil poured out from the middle of the kick stand area.It stopped after a few secs.I started it and it did not leak at all.Turned it off and leaked repeated its self.I have not investigated yet.Does anyone have any ideas where I should be looking?Thanks all....Ray:confused:
  11. I am 55.I have a low milage 83 vr 45k.I have been riding for 30 years plus.I got this last year.Love it...
  12. Hi.Does anyone have a set of OEM mufflers for an 83 VR. I went on a ride today and my right side mufflers broke at the collector flang.If there is a fix, can anyone tell me? Thanks all Ray.
  13. Nice Bike.I have the same bike and same colour.Mine runs like a monster.Welcome to the family/:guitarist 2:
  14. Here is another way you could do it.If you have an old scrap computer laying around open it up and there are molex connectors sets used as power connections to the hard drives and such. Use a couple sets of them to replace the one molex that is broken in your 87:clap2:.Make sure to polorize the connectors so you know wich one goes where. Just splice into the connectors, solder and finish with heat shrink.A very cheap solution.
  15. Yes it sounds like a molex connector.Digikey woulkd sell something like that.
  16. I took out my cassette deck from my 83VR and made a multiple access port for Ipods and GPS.I put a resister accross one of my inputs as to not have the aux swamped by the different impedances of the units.It seems to work.
  17. My 83 runs hot.it never boils over and I have the fan mod.Is it a good idea to take my thermostat out?,Thoughts!!!
  18. You might want to check your charging system for voltage output.
  19. There are two types of operations that go on in a Venture speedo.The cable drives a gear system that is calibrated by revolutions to give you distance . It is also connected to a calibrated D"arsenval movement system(The arm on a speedo).If the speedo system part fails, you will still get odometer readings.
  20. I am glad you got to tell about your accident.You sound like a good driver.This is one of those events that you need insurance.Take care and ride safe.
  21. I fixed mine.I tore it apart and just cleaned it.It works great now.Hint: Never do this after having a fight with the wife.you will never get it back together......LOL
  22. I have an 83.It had similar problems.Some of my buttons did not work on my radio controller. I tore apart an old cassette deck I had and replaced the surface mount buttons I took from my deck to solve the problem.I took the radio module out ,cleaned my pins and losened the connectors to adjust for a better pin seat.I have no cut out and my radio works great.If your display is wierd that for sure is the problem.I dont have a radio, but I do have controller parts.Let me know how you do.
  23. The tem PC Board means "Printed Circuit Board".The CMS unit or the " Comuter Monitor System" is the the display on the bike that tells you about the main systems .There are help files on how to take one out and do the service and repair.I have am 83 VR with all the classic problems.These help files are great and easy to follow.If you dont get it,make a post and someone will jump in and help you.!!!
  24. Thanks all for the help on this string.I had a problem with my 4 way flasher switch.I had an extra one and replaced it,I am all good now. Paysaw:thumbsup2:
