Fried some electrical
22lyons replied to 22lyons's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Thank you all! Yes, I switched the jumper cables by accident. It ended up blowing just my main fuse. I have been out for a few weeks so was not able to get to it till today. I was very pleased that after replacing the main fuse it's running again! -

Don, thanks for this info. I certainly can start there. Would you have a hunch if the main fuse would protect the system with what I did? -
Fried some electrical
22lyons replied to 22lyons's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Yep, nothing smoked and I couldn't smell anything burning but the motorcycle battery did spark/sizzle a few seconds before I realized my mistake. After I charged the battery and had it load checked before I put it back in and have no power at all. Just wondering if there might be a main fuse that may have saved me a bigger issue. thanks! -
Been a long time since being on the forum as I have had many great trouble free years with my 2000 venture. Well my battery was too low and would not fully turn over the engine yesterday so decided to jump it and did the unthinkable and fried my electrical. I have nothing. The battery is load tested and fully charged now. I know nothing about electrical but do have a friend who can help but not even sure where to begin. The only electrical work I have done was put the speedo-healer on it after I bought the bike. Would there be a main fuse to protect the system from my bone headed mistake??? Thanks so much!

What Hagon Shock settings are you using?
22lyons replied to rwven's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
i was thinking about leveling links but don't know if i need them since the new shock sits higher. is that why you took off yours and replaced with stock? -

22lyons replied to rwven's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
i just put mine on this past weekend and i didn't touch it. it seems to be fine the way it was preset. I did not get the heavy duty spring. -

Venture purchase - Need input
22lyons replied to dave_wells's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I would give it ride to see if you detect any gear whine. i have the same bike and love it. the whine i have is at a specific rpm that i can avoid. i used the whine to get the price down on my bike. -
I just got my hagon shipped. Any thoughts (or tricks) on install that I should be considering? I did find the write-up regarding the works install. I am not quite sure how to adjust the thing so I guess i will put it on and see how it goes. Larry

leveling links and a new shock
22lyons replied to 22lyons's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Well, maybe i should wait and see. I would not mind raising the rear a bit to see if it improves slow speed handle. I ended up staying with the normal spring setup. Thanks for the info! Larry -
Well, I finally pulled the trigger on a new hagon shock. Very nice customer service person! I think I need to try some leveling links too. Anyone have some out there they want to get rid of? Larry

We use them if the trunk is full.

The wife and I went down a few years ago but not on the cycle. We ended up staying in Key Largo and driving to Key West each day so I can't help you out with a place to stay. We won't try deep sea fishing again anytime soon since we both got sick. We enjoyed hanging out at the beach and at Mallory Square watching the sunset which is the thing to do. We would love to take the bike down the next time. We were down during the sailboat racing which was awesome.

My Day Training with "Ride Like a Pro" Jerry Palladino
22lyons replied to Barrycuda's topic in Watering Hole
sounds like an interesting day. thanks for sharing. i would love to take a course like that. -
i saw earlier someone attempting to fit the goldwing shock which is much cheaper. Anyone know about the results? I am also trying to figure this out before spring.
-
I have a puddle of oil on my garage floor as I wait for spring so i too am interested in hearing.
-
When i had my old goldwing and my silverwing i was on this site all the time. main focus is the goldwing but you will find someone who can help. It is a great site. Larry http://www.goldwingfacts.com/forums/

i will be interested in hearing because my shock just began leaking a few months ago. let me know what you find out. Larry
-
Larry and Joyce know that our prayers are with you! Peace and blessings, Larry

totally agree about the voyager regarding the bags. they were way too flimsy for me. rode the victory and liked it but was way too hot for me. i still think the ultra classic is my favorite ride/feel over the venture but all around enjoy my venture!

Pretty happy with my Metzler ME 880's
22lyons replied to GG54172's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
got mine and like them with the exception of it slowly losing air. took it back twice to the dealer and still can't find the slow leak. at least it makes me check the pressure!
