See the attached pictures. The wires in question look like Black with red line running the length of the wire and black with intermittant white bands. They go into the wiring harness thru the plug shown on top of the chrome bar. 2nd picture shows black with white bands better. Neither one seem to carry power! I've tried lights, brakes, accessory switches, cruise on/ pushed set, accel, cancel....nothing! The large clear hose you see is for my air horns. Also, the soft rubber plug on the air intake for the cruise pump...is it supposed to go into a hole somewhere? I don't see anywhere for it to mount into. Or is it not a plug? Almost feels like it could be a bellows or something. My cruise isn't working so I'm trying to figure that out also.

Rear Cylinders dead.

When you put it all back together, get some stick on velcro and just mount the TCI on top of the air box. That way it is much more accessable in case of future problems. The cable should be long enough...it just sort of flips up and over. You may have to cut one of the mounting tabs so it will slide far enough forward to clear the top of the tank cover. Most folks do that. Probably a thread on here about that somewhere. -
I can see claiming costs for ACTUAL costs backed up by a receipt. But how can you charge someone for "could have been" costs? I understand your frustration and I would be really upset myself....but I don't know if you can do much without receipts to back it up. I had a station pump a few gallons of regular gas into my diesel truck before I realized what he was doing. I stopped in front of the diesel pump and he pulled the regular hose to reach. He said "leave it with me and I'll drain the tank." I came back later that day and he had just dumped it all out on the ground beside the station!!!!!

I guess is this is SUPPOSED to be for the ladies...but we seem to need to appologize so much that perhaps we can use it too. Just type in the name of your lady and go....it takes about 30 seconds to start but it's pretty amazing. http://obtampons.ca/apology

Just hang it on the trailer hitch of your bike the way RV's have bikes on the back bumper!

No floor drains that might be dry at all? It is possible that the main stack has come loose in the wall. Happened to me in one house. It wasn't even glued at the joint!

The snake is probably a good idea....sounds like a it could be a plugged vent. Funny that that everything is flowing well though

Trader replied to Condor's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I put progressive springs and Condor's brace on my MkII.....WOW what a difference! The handling is so much more sure. I still have a tendancy to "over ride" from my rocket sled days...but my VR can do a lot more now than it used to! -
Welcome to the site! I'll be in Kingston in the next few days I'm sure. I live up in Tichborne but have a rental property in Kingston . PM me your phone number. I'll give you a call before I come in. What time is usually best for you? I see your trial membership is half done. Anyway, Spend the $12 to become a full member. The tech advice you get from the site as well as the friendships are priceless. Plus the downloads of manuals etc is worth the price alone!

There are no HF in Canada that I know of. I'll head over to Watertown NY....about 1 1/2 hrs from here.

I'm showing up early just so I can bug Carl that much more! I'm leaving here sometime Friday and going to Brandford via a leasurely, scenic and hopefully meandering route. Otherwise I have to leave here at 4:00 Sat morning. and I don't do early! Seems odd somehow that I'm going to ride over 200 miles each way so I can meet up with a bunch of ???????????? just to go for a ride!!!!

These folks say it is an original coupon that they are selling....in fact, NOT selling the coupon...just their services for finding it and clipping it out and mailing it . I've never seen any of the HF coupons other than on the HF web site...that's why I was wondering if it was a scam IF anyone has one of these coupons and would be willing to mail it to me I would VERY MUCH appreciate it. I don't buy any of the magazines etc that it might be in and being up in Canada we don't get them in newspapers . If none of the good folks here can help out I will be forced to "risk" a whopping $6 for the ebay service and that just might make it less of a deal:whistling:

I want a table....thought about HF. Found this coupond for sale....is it for real or a scam? Supposed to be good till Aug 2012 OR.....if anyone has one I'd love to take it?????

Last time I fell from a ladder I was in a cast for 6 weeks, a brace for 4 weeks and off work for 4 months! And I was only 5 ft. up! Messed me up for life. (at least that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.)

Oh....by the way....the Yamaha Dealer near me refused to install my used tire due to "liability issues". The thing is like new ...not that they even bothered to look at it! I got the wheel back on....spent a lot of time working on the front running lights and getting them up and running. So now I just have to figure out how to compress the brake pads to get the calipers back on. I am assuming I need to break open the bleeder to be able to press them back or is there an easier way? It would be a pain to have to bleed the system if not required.

I did the balance as per video.....ended up I needed 1 3/4 oz. to get it pretty close. Not so bad.

I may need a new real wheel
Trader replied to etcswjoe's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Did you spray soap solution on the valve stem? Could be the seal for the stem itself or the spring valve leaking. I had a slow leak in a tire that turned out to be the guts of the valve had worked loose. -
Looks simple enough that even I could do it. So....are stick on weights legal in Ontario? I know I have some from flying RC. Otherwise it means a trip to town!
-
OK....got the old tire removed and the new(used) tire mounted for only $10...but the shop I went to don't do balancing on a bike tire. They are a small auto repair shop selling car tires and also a cycle salvage place I replaced an "elite II" with the same brand tire. He took all the weights off the rim so I have no idea how the balance is (haven't reinstalled the wheel yet) Is balancing the wheel anything I can do myself? If yes....HOW? If nothing else I'll put a can of Ride ON in it.

What I hated about Hugesnet was if you exceed your data limit they shut you down to dial up speed for 24 hours! This is not an average over 24 hours....it only has to be 1 hour where you download too much. I think I had speed of 700 bps download and it was only 50-70 upload.

the explaination is quite simple. First Gens just move so fast the rubber gets hot and soft and has a hard time keeping up. PLEASE>>>NO VIAGRA COMMENTS!!!!!
