I had that same problem.My slave unit was jammed.You could bleed it out but when bleed screw tightened, the same problem as you.When I pulled it out it was full of gunk.

My First gen Canadia 83 Royal only had the 9 numbers as well.I was told the numbering system had changed in the early 80s and this was one of the last with the old numbering system.

What you learn about these bikes is they are reckless as the rider.They are just as controllable as a Venture.The only difference is they can get to places faster if and only if you ask it too.My speed demon days are gone.It is a very responsive bike.If you ride it responsibly it is an amazing motorcycle.The difference with a bike like this is that it is effortless to ride with no sense of fear. If you want a bike that can cruise all day long with lower revs, big power , quiet, big torque and effortlessly peg scrape you might look into one.

I think you have fuel circuit problems.If the carbs were not maintained, or fuel additives added i think you have nasty build up in the circuits.My money is to pull carbs and rebuild. A better result.Adding the choke only enriches the fuel mixture,If you are maxed out and can only run in that position, it could be a fuel flow problem. Good luck.

I found a great 2004 Yamaha FJR1300. I have always wanted one.Great little bike.

I had one for a couple of years. Good if you are skinny and not too tall.You can get extentions for the handlebars if needed.One of the easiest bikes I have even been on.It has a big gas tank and gets great fuel milage.I great bike to ride in the rain with no fear.I was not keen on the riding position myself.Put your leg over it and see.You might like it.The police use to use them.They are fast and light.

I don't remember that much drama pulling my basket off. I took the parts off and used an impact gun to loosen the big nut on the shaft.There was some kind of a retainer clip on it too.Once i got that out of the way, it was breeze. Good luck with it.

I will look and see if i have one too.

A vacuum bleeder is a great thing to have. All I have ever done is bled out my system.If you do it right it does not take long at all.There is no magic to it.

What parts are you looking for.I have spares.PM please so i can help.YOu pay shipping and you can have them if i have them.

I am glad you were not seriously hurt Evan. The bike was good to you and probably saved your life.Take care and I hope you can get it fixed or get another one. Take care.

If you see pitting on the walls of the slave, dont even bother rebuilding it.

Sorry to hear about Marca's mom.May she live in peace.

I had an St1100.It was an amazing bike.The 1300 has more torque and horsepower than a 1100.Great riding position, great handling and extremely fast. St1300s have their own sound too.It is something to investigate.

Is it the same a first Gen shock?

Wings are great bikes.Keep it above the air input side and they will do well.They are beasts.I am glad you got through ok.

I am in the middle of a rebuild and having the same problem. I am pulling my slave.I think my slave is stuck.Trader we should chat too.LOL Ray

I totally agree. Just switch the starter.For all the trouble it takes to pull in off and put it back on, this is the way to go.If you get a used one though, spend a few bucks and rebuild it.Easy and inexpensive to do.Your bike will start like a sports bike.

I have a tank rack that the bag sits on.it is a little difficult to put the straps on because it does not go under the tank.I don't have to worry about scratching my tank though. I have a tank bag I use from the Honda I had thats bigger and has a waterproof cover.That's the one I use when I tour.

Here is the one I have for my bike.It is similar to the Ventureline type.

Have a safe trip Bob.

It was a pleasure to meet you James. We have lots of great people down here in Southern Ontario Canada.Thanks for getting that part for me from your neck of the woods. Maybe the next time you are in the Toronto area we can arrange a Meet and Eat with a few of the fellas down here. Happy trails my friend.

i have a spare class unit as well a couple of good compressor setups.I used them to test all my suspension problems.Let me know if someone needs them. Thanks

I am having the same problem. Can I check it on the clutch plate side?
