Clutch slipping is often the result of using improper oil in these engines. They need m/c oil not automotive. Don't know if you were using auto oil with friction modifiers or not, just saying. Once the plates have slipped very much its best to just change them out. Bill,

I own both a Yamaha Venture and a Harley RoadGlide. Both have their own riding and handling characteristics. Its taken me quite a bit of time and money to get the Venture to match the frame geometry of the Harley. Harley has prefected their handling and seat position too the point You almost forget to put your feet down at a stop sign. I like riding both of them, since I lowered the Venture front and back also the added gauges lets one know whats going on with the engine. Bill,

The above happens about everytime my wife and I go out. I usually just mention to her that this idiot driver didn't get enough A$$ Whooping when he or she grew-up.

Just got in from a ride and read your post. Removeing the front wheel helps silding the forks up considerable, you shouldn't need the BFH taking apart or reassemblinmg the triple tree cap. Don't get aggravated take a break and keep checking for both alignment and moved distance dimension. And as a reminder don't forget to restall the two dust covers. I'm sure you will like the lower front handling. Bill,

You know what the best thing about being retired......More time for Ridning!!!!! Bill:080402gudl_prv:

:stirthepot:To avoid whine or cluth slipping use motorcycle oil instead of automotive oil. There is a difference in both to heat and friction properties. Bill
-
Whats the point here they are all out of stock? The REDNECK HOARDERS haven't got their basements full yet.

No Rotella for me, use Honda 10w40 no clutch slips or whine in 45,000 miles on 06 Venture and also no friction modifiers included. Bill,

No comparision between Glock and Sig., Sig is the one too buy and keep much safer to handle and operate. I just want too ride my Motorcycle and shoot my Gun and I do just about everyday. Bill,

Hey thanks alot my Dad fought too in France and Germany during WW11. Tom Brokaw coined them right, "The Greatest Generation", we owe them our freedom. Thank them when and where you see them. Bill,

I got a Cassette Player that was removed from my 06 Midnight Venture which I never played. Installed gauges in the openning. If interested for $40.00 PM me. Bill,

Yes, the tank does sit somewhat lower than even the stock Venture tank. LOL Dingy.

I'm banking on you or Jeff coming through, thanks guys. Bill,

aV or RSTD due to both having a 'standard' fuel tank . heigth above frame, 2nd is of VMax box, its lower, but much longer from front to back to compensate for height. Some pictures of a stock RSV system, and also an RSTD box along side a carb box from an RSV. Gary Why couldn"t You use the stock Venture air box and mount V Max ram intake on the side of the gas tank and flexible air duct to the air box....just a thought. Bill

By all means let me know when they are availabe. I'm in the process of doing my bike plus a couple others are wanting valves checked too. Bill

Does anyone have a 2nd Gen Valve Shim Tool for sale? If you have one you want to let go just PM. Can't stay on here really starting too get busy now. Bill,

:080402gudl_prv:Wish You were a little closer. Had the same problem with FoyerBoys bike after rebuilding last summer. Anyway try this before rebuilding the carbs. mix a cocktail of Marvel Mystery Oil, Seafoam and B-12 Chemtool fuel treatment pour in tank and let set over night. Next day open pitcock let cocktail drain too carbs. check for leaking carbs shake bike to get floats operating again. If this doesn't work then order parts. Bill, Cafe' Racer turned Tourer.

Right now I'm the proud owner of a 06 Venture and an 05 HD Road Glide, like riding both. They both have riding characteristics of their own which I appreciate. The Harley has near perfect frame geometry, whereas I've spent many hours bringing the Venture too this point. If only Harley would put the V Rod engine in a dresser. While building a friends Venture from the frame up this past summer I did alot measuring and thinking about putting a Venture engine in a Harley frame. I already have a name set aside the V-Max-Harley. WildBill:detective:
-
Sounds like loose battery leads or also the ground terminal has become loose at the frame. WildBill

Oh, Cool, NRA Commemorative Bike. Ok I've said enough, just couldn"t resist back to my corner. WildBill:stirthepot:
-
Very nice model although its running on air instead of diesel, still alot of precision work involved.
-
Yes I do have a excellent pair of passenger floor boards off an 06 Venture. A couple years ago I installed a pair of Kuryakln Transformers for the Wife she loves them on those long trips. Just PM and we will go from there. Bill:)
-
I think I found the bike to replace my Venture
WildBill1 replied to Jactana's topic in Watering Hole
Don't think I'll give up the Venture for a cross between a BMW and a Victory. Bill:whistling: -
Thanks EKC.

Does anyone know where I could obtain a free Harley Service Manuel for a 05 Harley Roadglide? Want to do some re-caming. After riding the 06 Venture like too have the same sensation of speed on the Roadglide.
