Hey Don..... VR members map....I get error 404...page not found Never mind....works now.....Man you are fast!!!!

You can get a repair manual on this site. Under the "Forum" link on the menu bar , go to "Tech Library" then "First Gen" then "Guides". you will see the service manual there. Lots of help here...happy wrenching!

Exactly the same as what I had on my bike in the fall of 2011 Ever since I got it, It would only idle when choke was on. MarCarl was helping me with it and we did a complete on-the-bike carb clean. When we went to set it up after, we couldn't get any vacuum at idle to sync carbs. I can't remember for sure....but I thought it was Squid that Carl called with the problem....maybe it was Dingy. Anyway...if I remember right... we got a reasonable sync at higher rev's and got me back on the road. I've been seafoaming it regularly since and it runs just fine! I bought a carb tune and am going to do it again soon.

congrats on the new to you bike. As we get older many feel the need to slow down.

I'm the youngest of 3 boys. I retired early at age 52....just about the same time as my youngest...my daughter was getting married. When I commented to Dad about feeling old because my Baby was getting married, he said, " never mind! My baby is retiring!" I guess it's all relative!

I've heard of it raining cats and dogs.....but not turkeys!!!! Sounds like an episode of "WKRP in Cincinnati" Here's a couple of shots of Friday around here. (not taken while on the bike)

Already on the list and looking forward to it!!!!! Come on folks! I've only been to one of Don's MDs........but they are just too good to miss!

and Carl can speaked the Hinglish the way she is spoked! And if you aren't cluing in.....you speak very WELL! (and usually for a long time too!)

I've had requests from "God fearing co-worker of Christ" who was selling the vehicle to help finance his ministry deep in the Amazon......same scam but different strings used to tug on the ol' heart.

most common is to move it to the top of the air breather box. Out of the heat and water....and convenient to do any work if needed. When I did mine the wires were such that I just "flipped" it up and over. You may have to cut off one of the mounting tabs to allow it to sit far enough forward so the false tank cover will clear.

Well.....its official....I'm now an orphan! Dad died 10:55 last night. Even though I have only "met" most of you online....I really appreciate the thoughts and prayers from my venture family. Thanks to all of you for your support. Even though Dad was not religious, I reminded him he WILL see Mum and us too in the resurrection that is promised us.

Just spent a LONG night sitting with my Dad and my brothers. I came home tonight....but pretty much just waiting for the call to say he's gone. He was diagnosed with esophagus cancer about 6 months ago and it's run it's course. He is at home and comfortable.....and I guess that's what matters. We were going to transfer him to a home as he was just getting to be too much to care for....but now he's got a catheter and is basically comatose, he doesn't need much care so we are letting him die at home. He asked my sister to shave off his beard because Mom wouldn't like it! ( she died 3 years ago) He's one month short of 85 and told me he's OK with it....he's ready. Said my goodbye's today and although we think he had a stroke and can't speak, he wakes for about 10 seconds when we "roll" him and he gave me thumbs up. My sister soaked his dentures in single malt and that put a smile on his face! He's not religious....so he wouldn't appreciate my asking for your prayers....but good thoughts can't hurt! hmmm.....60 years old and crying like a baby

oh oh....somebody did the URL thing again and messed it up!!!! Oh Don!!!!! :sign **** happens:

On the menu bar or whatever....where do we find the link....other than in this thread?

Alrighty then! Thanks for this.....pretty cool add on.

One thing I'm noticing Don..... when I click on a specific members "show on map" I get everybody's pin showing...not just the requested member

are you talking about the RSV or the VR?

Looking good.....have to get more than 3 of us Canucks to register on the map!

Really? Is there really any such thing? LOOKING GOOD!

When I open the map....nothing....just the map When I click on "show on Map"...nothing.... when I click on my own listing and "show on map"...still nothing. Could it be a MSExplorer/ Chrome....or operating system issue?

Love it!!!! I didn't do a thing to the bike over the winter. Embarrassed to admit I threw a cover over it (eventually) and it sat in the driveway all winter. I threw a charger on it for a few hours and it fired right up. Checked the air pressure in the tires, a quick look at the oil level and off I went. I rode for only about an hour...but it was great. Funny seeing the lakes still frozen over and lots of snow in sheltered areas and in ditches. Really had to be careful...there is a LOT of sand still on the roads.....we need a good heavy rain to wash it off.

I see a big empty map

So that's what they mean when they say "I've got a woody" !!!!!!

I will absolutely ride the new 2013 F6B to all the VR events this year, and even let anyone named Don (and there are several of them on this forum) take the bike for a ride. It has been spoken...it shall be done. Freebird....could you temporarily change my handle to "Trader Don":whistling: I'll change it back after MD!
