if you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

How much did you take off the bolt head ? With all you've been through already with this 1 off brake conversion, does this latest hiccup surprise you !?

Corbin backrest adjustment
ragtop69gs replied to Big_Iz's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Well... if any of you want to get rid of a backrest, I have a spot picked out on the wifes trike for it. Just let me know and we'll come to some sort of an agreement. -
Yeah, but she's probably about 70 years old now

Replacing Front Wheel Bearings
ragtop69gs posted a topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Putting a new 150/80-16 Venom on the front and I feel a tight spot on both wheel bearings. I am going to replace them. I have 2 questions. A search here did not help me much. (1) How do you get the bearings out ? With the inner spacer I see no way to use a standard bearing puller or a drift punch to knock em out, no lip to drive them out. (2) Sourcing the bearing and seal? Yamaha part or from a bearing supply ? Aftermarket part numbers? -
Tomorrow Depends on what is waiting for me on the Left coast

It is now contaminated with heavy metals and considered hazardous waste ! Take it to a recycling center. OR If you have a neighbor you hate, pour it in his yard and call the EPA from a pay phone !

Very serious thread "What can we make this do on a Venture"
ragtop69gs replied to dingy's topic in Watering Hole
How about an Automatic front fairing opener, it would save Cougar alot of time when adding more relay's to control the relays. -
You need to back off the top locking ring before trying to tighten the lower ring. You'll find it much easier to do with the right tool. When you put the tool on your torque wrench it must be at a 90* angle to the torque wrench handle to get a proper reading. The next time you take it apart it will go faster, don't ask how I know this !

How's that wheel wobble now ?

Don, Thats good news The brake swap is pretty straight forward, The only thing that is done differently is the new caliper bracket will go on the outside of the knuckle mounting surface. If you look back in my posts here you will find some pictures. I think it took 20 minutes per side to do the swap.

Well.... at least these uncharted waters haven't sunk your ship. Have you actually figured out. which is wrong, the pads or calipers ? Having to grind the pads sure takes all the fun out of an otherwise easy job. You know, it's possible there are 2 different CRX models, maybe a standard and a Hi performance version or a mid year engineering change to the brakes.
