  1. I just went threw the same thing on mine I had to keep bleeding it untill I could feel the brake was working. and then I had to readjust the free play.
  2. Thanks, Have a Happy Easter
  3. Yes it was When I got it the guy said that the carbs needed some work because it would surge going down the highway. So I went threw the carbs no fix so then I went threw and cleaned all connections on the electrics. Still no fix I was stumped because it wouldnt do it all of the time. Now that I have the rear brake fixed problem solved. Took it for a long ride today feels like a new bike. Orlin
  4. Brake problem fixed, it was the rear caliper sticking and some gunk in the master all is clean new fluid and now have brakes very good brakes. And also cured the surgeing problem that it has had sice I got it. Orlin
  5. Bill if you want to get out of town come on down and campout no need to wait for 3 months, Im sure you wont have to twist my arm to hard to get out for a ride.
  6. I have Fridays ride planed out should be a nice one would like to head out of my place at around 12:00 to 1:00 make a loop around to Wildcat Mt, and then stop in at Rockton for some burgers and back here for a good campfire. The ride will take us on some very nice riding roads. Orlin
  7. Looks nice, I have been thinking of getting one how do they handle in the curves compared to the 1st Gens. I am on alot of hilly twisty roads. And I like the way the Venture handles.
  8. I went to take a ride on the 84 Venture and it I couldnt get it to roll the rear brake peddle is hard to push and does not want to come back up all of the way. If I take and pull the pedal back up I can turn the tire when its up on the center stand. I only have to pull the pedal back up maybe a 1/4 of an inch. If I adjust it to take the free play out the rear tire is locked up. Can this be from the pads being wore down and the calipers have went out to far and wont come back in as they would with new pads. I am going to put pads in and bleed some fluid off and see if this helps. Hope that someone has a cure for this one, if not I will tell you what I find out. Orlin
  9. I had the same problem on my 84 I trimed the plug wires back a 1/4 of an inch and got fire back to the plugs.
  10. What color seat are you looking for? I know where there is a corbin with back rest at a very good deal. If she still has it.
