help installing new shock
etcswjoe replied to bikerjohn's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
The only think I took off was the right side passenger floorboards, used needle nose vise grips to hold the nuts in place. It would have been a lot easier to take off the seat and even more if I had taken out the battery box. I did put a shim under the rear right of the jack to allow the bolt to slide out unencumbered it took less than an hour to do. -
Hate to hear about your crash hope you heal quickly.

Luckily I have been able to avoid hitting any.

Don't Stay in the French Quarter the decent hotels are expensive and the cheap ones are well just that cheap. Also you will have to pay parking in the French Quarter hotels. The casinos are not too bad but if you don't gamble the parking fees will eat you up. I always look in Metarie or Kenner before looking in the Quarter.

Someone had a solution I saw it at one of the M&E's just don't remember who it was. They made it so the floorboard could swing down and forward. You could also try these: http://www.diamondraccessories.com/yamaha/proddisplay.php?name=Passenger%20Highway%20Pegs A previous thread on this: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=25645&page=3 http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=28341 http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=16960 http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=23575&highlight=passenger+highway+pegs

I saw them at Bobbi's party and I will be replacing mine with these. Thanks!!

The seat height was good but with my wife on the back I had no room up front and my wife sis not like how the passenger backrest sloped. The fairing does seem a long way from the rider but I think you could get use to that. The wind does catch it pretty good but i don't think anymore than the RSV. They are nice bikes but just not for me as they are now.

We always liked stopping at Virginia Dinner on our way home, did not seem to have changed much after DD&Ds. We have noticed some of the places raised their prices after the show. Have visited about a dozen places from the show had a couple M&E's at Pawley's Front Porch in Columbia after they were on the show and it turned out well. You can go to http://www.flavortownusa.com/states.aspx#.UKjaImdEKas and it has a map of all the places from the show.

Some of the best Thanksgiving dinners I had were at sea.

Test rode a Vision today and it was a smooth ride, however I think the bike I rode was defective it clunked really bad when you changed gears and had no power on acceleration. The handle bars seemed way to high does anyone know if they are adjustable?
-
Ok I think I got the trees, little hard finding ones with a place to stop, the first tree was shaved on one side the second was cut on top and the power line goes over.
-
Got the stator back in and seems to be doing well, I think the bolts had worked out. Bought a new tube of loctite this time just to make sure. Now I just need somewhere to ride to maybe I will go look for the scavenger hunt target.
-
Driving out to see my grandkids in southern Illinois be the first time I have seen my grandson. Hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving.

I guess I should have said awhile back, I called and they said they don't have them the salesman acted like he had no clue what I was talking about. Now I am on a mission to find a store that loans them.
-
I went to Oreilys and they loaned me one free of charge.
-
Could not tell you were surprised at all. Glad you had a good day.

If I understand you can receive just fine, however the volume is very low? If this is the case I doubt it is your antenna. Have you checked the connectors under the trunk to make sure they are clean and connected well. I have 2 99's and I set the CB volume on both around 10.
-
Replaced my stator with a high output one from Buckeye and all was well until yesterday morning I started it up and when I revved it up just a little I got a buzz (vibration) so I took the covers off again and the bolts are tight but I can still move the stator very little by hand so I am going to get some shorter bolts to see if that helps. Could not see any places where anything made contact.

I try to use non-ethanol which around here means high test, but if not just regular.
