    OK I am wondering what I did or maybe there isn't really any difference. I changed the plugs today in my 2000 venture and the Clymers manual said they took a NGK DPR7EA-9 When I got the old ones out and the new ones in I was cleaning things up and happened to look at the old plugs, which by the way looked new after 12,000 miles anyway the ones I took out where NGK DPR8EA-9 Anyone know what the difference is? Is one hotter than the other? Just wandering Thanks Gentleman.

    Well good, I must have had better sense and didn't complete it. Probably better off anyway. I am on your side get rid of it. That is what makes this site great we usually don't have these kind of threads.

    WOW:whistling: Maybe he doesn't have a manual. I bought mine used and it didn't come with one. My good friend EUAS1 gave me one a month after I bought it.

    So does mine but the manufacturer taold me to run around 20-25 lbs depending on how loaded it was. I run 25 all the time in mine. If you run I60 you will find it bounces and is generally rough pulling run

    OK My friend you sound like you copied a post I made a few moths ago. My bike did the exact same thing. Here is what fixed it to a certian point. New diaphrams in carbs easiest thing in the world to change. Also found that the air box under the fuel tank has like 4 tubes that attach to the top carbs and one of them had worked off the back left carb. I cleaned up the area and put a new clamp on it and then resynced the carbs and it made a world of difference. Warning do not tighten the clamp to tight just snugg. If you tighten it to tight it will slide up and come off again. Now as for the thumping/vibration you are feeling. First what did you ride before? if it was a inline 4 or six they are so much smoother. Second: these bikes have that v-twin thump at lower rpms when you role back on ther throttle. My bike is running better than it ever has and gets about 41 mpg but it still has that little thump/vibration in 4th and 5th when I rollo back on the throttle. Now it goes away in 4th at about 63 mph and in 5th at about 75. If I am not under throttle just cruising it is not there. Again these bikes have some of that. If it get 40 mpg or better and starts easy and runs smooth in lower gears then this is probably the way it runs. As for 5th under throttle going up a hill, remember 5th is an overdrive so it will act like it is being lugged a little. Just drop to 4th and it will haul ass. Hope this helps.

    OK, now tell me who do I have to worry about the most Yammerdan or the bear:think:

    Mine did that and one of the air intake tubes had come off of the top of the carb. I pulled the tank and you could see a tiny gap between the top of the carb and the tube from the air box. It also caused a little thumping type feel when I rolled back on the throttle. Sort of like a big v twin does.

    I just sprayed mine with a tent water repellent and it works fine. I put in some good infinity speakers and it really improved the sound what I really need is a 200 watt amp now
