    Just heard back from Dunlop on the date code and here is what they had to say: Good morning Joe, Thank you for taking the time to contact Dunlop Motorcycle & ATV. Look for the letters DOT. (this means department of transportation and any tire that runs on the street must have one) DOT will only be on one side of the tire . After DOT there will be an alpha-numeric sequence approximately 10-12 characters long. The last four digits of this sequence is the date. It will be stamped....may be in an oval. Example: 3409.....will be the 34th week of 2009 In case you find a tire with 3 digits, it means the tire was made prior to 2000. Starting with the year 2000 four digits are now used.. Should you need further information or assistance, please call Dunlop Consumer Affairs @ 800-845-8378 or e-mail us. regards, Virginia Gallant Consumer Affairs Representative Consumer Affairs Dunlop Motorcycle & ATV Tire Division Goodyear/Dunlop Tires N.A., Ltd PO Box 1109 Buffalo, NY 14240 Ph: (800) 845-8378 Fax: (716) 879-8425

    I need to do both my 99's one has 34k the other 30K so I will be doing it myseldf since I do not want to shell out the money to do two at once, Is the Gasket below the right one? I looked at the price of shims and they are not cheap either, hopefully I will not need to adjust many.

    Mic Mutes have no bearing on it at all, just wanted to make sure I had the right cables.

    I sent you a PM, once we get a date and time set, if anyone else needs it done maybe we can just make an event out of it. I am assuming you have stock antennas and connectors?

    The one in front is the banged up one and the one in the rear is the replacement. I think Art has him beat out, we rode last week and were just talking about you. Give Art a shout he will be glad to hear from you. I just became a grandpa last week so I have another little one to spoil but I get to send mine home at the end of the day. Congrats again.

    I just replaced my rear wheel and my axle appears to be straight and true. Interested to see what others have to say.
  7. etcswjoe
    If my memory serves me right you were talking about this last time we rode, gald it finally came through time for a side car now.
  8. etcswjoe
    I have a meter and can tune it if you want to meet up somewhere, I think Sleeprhawk is putting new antennas on his bike so we might alll be able to get together.

    Sounds like my credit union.

    You just need to get another RSV to put it in, everyone should have two.
  11. etcswjoe
    You got it.

    Found this at citizens bank http://www.citizensbankna.com/images/content/forms/Gas%20and%20Your%20Debit%20Card.pdf

    Debit cards draw directly from your bank account sometimes called check cards some people also have the debit cards tied to a line of credit so they can use them like a charge card if there is not enough money in the account.

    They only do pre-authorizations with Debit cards in SC, so I always select credit. They also have big stickers on the pumps that tell you this.

    If you can't get the converter in time you can always use relays.

    Today is also Peach Ice Cream Day, however I had Raspberry Chocolate Chunk from Brusters.

    I think I may have misunderstood what he was asking for. You want to search for three letters. Like Freebird said you can use Google ie hid site:venturerider.org CMU site:venturerider.org TCI site:venturerider.org RLU site:venturerider.org Doing this will bring up every instance of the term under the site and you can do this for other sites as well.
  18. etcswjoe
    There are several sites that list acronyms. Here is one of them. http://d-tips.com/Tools/toolBox/acronyms.aspx Instead of a search maybe a page in the tech library for acronyms?

    Do you have side tone? If not try the passenger plug and if you do try to transmit on the CB if you can there is a bad wire in the cable going from the driver connection to the radio?
  20. etcswjoe
    Sounds like you have a bad connection or one bad wire. Check the connections behind the fairing take them apart clean them and put some dielectric grease on them.

    I called and sent an e-mail to Dunlop will see what they have to say. I think this picture represents 51st week of 07 I was good with the date codes in the little oval till I ran across the 5601.
  22. etcswjoe
    I looked at the tires I removed from my bike last week and the code in the oval like you have pictured said 5601 I always thought there were 52 weeks in a year? Turns out I was right that was not the date code on my Dunlop tires it is in with the DOT code on the tire. My new tires were made 14th week of 2011. My old tires were made 27 week of 2003. I think But what is really confusing is I found this on the dunlop website http://www.dunlopmotorcycle.com/pdf/11D_FL_SAFETY.pdf

    Sandbagger, Glad you are ok, blowouts are definitely scary, I have no idea what I did to get it to the side of the road it happened too fast but I was much younger back then too. When I called Avon they told me on the Venture 39 front 42 rear. The only blowouts I ever had turned out to be external sources, such as hitting something and not realizing it till the tire blew.
  24. etcswjoe
    Seemed like everyone had the Front E-3's on back-order when I got my tires so hopefully next time I will try E-3's. Seemed like I had to torgue the rear axle nut an awful lot to get 110 ft-lbs.
  25. etcswjoe
    That would explain alot.
