I have an 86 Venture with a fuel leak. After a good ride I came home to a gas smell.I looked all over the bike and noticed a leak at the filter.I turned off the fuel and ran the bike until the carb bowls emptied. I still smell fuel.I pulled the left exhaust pipe and check underneath and looked at the center of the tank.The bottoms seemed moist near the front of the tank.I had to drain the tank, then turn the fuel back on .Then started the bike and ran it dry with the fuel pump starving for fuel. This stopped the smell.Any suggestions? Ray:confused24:

I bought mine on sale last year when it was 69.00.Still a good deal.The rubber pads do come off though.My only complaint.

I am not sure how good you are with relays.What I have done is bought the mini relays and mounted them in a little box and and wired it with terminals.I could get 4 min relays in a small box.I could wire, or change the relay's path .I labeled in and out and the current rating.It made for fast wiring.

yES. That unit is not complete.Missing mounts to bike.

Take a pic of where the leak is and where the oil drops too.

If you are feeling daring and have the time, switch out your starter to a second gen model.You will be impressed how good the starts are even when hot..

I have an extra working one.I did a fix on mine via the help files.Sometimes your cant save them but it is worth the attempt.

This is sad. We always have to be the better and more alert persons on the road.It goes with the territory.

I had a 1967 Thunderbird with the retracting roof that went into the trunk.I sold it in 1975 for 250.00 because it needed spyder gears in the rear end.What was I thinking!!!!

I would check your clutch fluid too.

I purchased a 1986 Venture with a non working class unit at the time.I did not know much about it but when I looked it a super brace.When I rode it it handled like a sports bike.I suspect it has progressive springs.The CLASS unit is fix and I wonder how that will affect the ride now.Good luck with repairs and mods!!!

Before you give up I had the same problems.I looked in the help files and went specifically to the recommended re solder points.There is a pic of which ones to re solder.I had done the same thing as your tech did first.After reviewing the notes and correct soldering I fixed my problem.Other wise you are in installing Zerk fittings.

Yes,Just replace it.It wont stop either.It will be your annoying little friend.

Before you convert,Have you tried the fix for the controller? It involves just taking it apart and re soldering specific connections.It brought mt controller back to life. Are you getting the E4 error.Look on the help forums to see how it is done.

Hi. I have seen this bike.Lots of custom stuff.It is a good deal for the price.Make sure you buy it.I am in Miss.It would be nice to see this on the road.Good luck with it.If you get it, make sure you go through it.Join Suds and we will be all over you to help .

You should take pics of the problems and we can jump in and help you.

Congrats on the new bike.No explanation needed.Enjoy the new ride.

I bought the Canadian tire lift.seems to work fine for 64 bucks.

This is what i did this weekend[ATTACH]82599[/ATTACH]

Well, imagine that.You never really left us.Welcome back.

This is fantastic news.I am glad you can retired in peace and have many glorious days ahead.

I hope it all works out for you and Jean.My prayers are with you both..

I went today.The same usual suspects.I bought gloves and a quick release clip.Thank goodness it is 10 mins from my place.

I live in Mississauga Ontario.We were hit by that storm as well and our streets look like a DMZ with tree trunks scattered about the streets and walkways.Lucky for us our power stayed on.I loaned our my portable generator to few of my friends that needed it. It will take weeks to clean up the carnage the storm created. Many thanks to the power workers that our restoring the power here.Special thanks to the American power crews that came down to help out too.

Looks good. Might try to make it.
