it does feel like it is held up at the pivot area. the plunger in the valve moves freely with help. i dont know about removing the guts of the valve. anyone else do this with good results? how do i remove and clean the pivot point. i see there is a circular spring in there...how big of a pain is it?

i just had the rear caliper rebuilt by earl. bled the front and rear calipers with speed bleeders. the pedal wont come back up all the way. it keeps the brake light engaged. i checked the brake switch spring and its it good condition. it just seems to have resistance to return all the way. any ideas? proportioning valve bad? time for new lines and de-link? and im in northern michigan now. just got Hughesnet installed yesterday. water lines were busted and critters got into cabin, thats why i havnt been around last couple weeks.

In a memo sent to all posts, Michigan State Police Director Col. Kriste Kibbey Etue clarified for officers how the law will be enforced. -- The law does not require a motorcycle operator to carry or present proof he or she has a motorcycle endorsement for at least two years or has successfully passed the motorcycle safety course. -- The law does not require a motorcycle operator or passenger to carry proof of the $20,000 security required to operate or ride a motorcycle without a helmet. -- Officers may not stop a motorcyclist for not wearing a helmet based on the possibility the operator or passenger may be in violation of the helmet law. -- Operators and passengers who violate the new law are responsible for a civil infraction. From The Detroit News: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20120413/POLITICS02/204130397#ixzz1s1m7I9W3 people driving convertibles arent required to wear a helmet...why should we??

check skydocs classified. he sell a braided line kit with a delink. thats my next upgrade. -
yeah. i thought of that mount also. just posted something about it. that case is water-resistant. it didnt do so well in testing. i ordered one of these, but aquabox certainly would be a better option. i will keep the drybag for cell and stuff on the water.http://search.overtons.com/?Ns=p_image_sort|1||p_purchased|1&Ne=1000&N=2300&No=0&cname=Other-Electronics-Accessories.

Pin missing from shift segment
reddevilmedic replied to raybear71's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
can you get a magnet in there and fish for it? im pulling mine apart this upcoming winter, for second gear issues. i just skip it for the time being. maybe, just switch out for 1300. -

i went with skydocs setup. works awesome, and earl is a perfect gentleman. i screwed up the first housing gasket, he sent me another immediately. his advice was priceless. doubt youre gonna get that anywhere else. i am having a issue though. when i apply brake from handlebars. big voltage drop. also, kickstand switch isnt working. ugh. oh, one more issue. the foot brake pedal isnt returning all the way, causing the brake light to stay engaged on. i rebled the brakes(speedbleeder). have good pedal, just wont come up. -
