    I built a my son a killer i7 2600K 3.4 Gz (overclocked to 4.6Ghz) with a Dual 1GB NVidia GTX560Ti video card & 16 GB ram PC for Christmas. I never saw anybodys eyes light up when he fired up his steam account & started playing! He loves multiplayer games

    So are you on STEAM?

    Oh, just noticed you're in BC. I don't think you have Gamestops there.

    PS3 IS pretty cool, my son has one & he loves it. You are right the fact that to do ANYTHING on XBOX 360 requires you to pay the online fee stinks but, that's Microsoft. Red Dead Redemption is basically GTA4 in the wild west. The big difference is the "world" is MUCH bigger! Being addicted to GTA4 I found that game and Saints row, a lot of fun. You can pick it up used at Gamestop for under $25 and they have a 7 day unconditional return policy. I bought the Sims 3 used at Gamestop, & it was B O R I N G. I returned it in 3 days for a full refund. So you can try it out w/o risk!

    My sticker has a build date of 12/83. Now would this be one of the bike susceptible to frame cracks?

    So Jason would this be something I could pull off the Vin?

    For those of you OVER 50, Join AARP & check out Hartford. I have no ticket or accidents. I carry 500K insurance on a car & truck both with full coverage with 2 drivers & we paid $750/yr. in Virginia. With Progressive I was paying $1,250

    Does anyone use this jack on a 1st Gen? I was looking at buying one but it looks like the exhaust would be crushed when lifting.

    My 1984 Venture Royale has a model designation of XVZ12, but I've noticed there are other letters like DKC2 or DL or KC2 so.... How do I figure out what my Royale is w/o a build sheet?

    Being retired I have a lot of time on my hands so just out of the blue... How many of you are on XBox Live and what games do you play? I bought my XBox after testing out a used GTA4 game I bought on Ebay for my 16 yr old & I was hooked. I Play Grand Theft Auto 4 Saints Row 3 Red Dead Redemption to name a few, I know my son has a lot more games. (Call of Duty type shooters) Hey if enough of us are online maybe we could share usertags & set up a party

    OK...All Packed!

    Can anyone list what exactly is in Standard Tool kit that comes with a gen 1? That kit was long gone when I bought mine.

    Thanks guys for the help. I will solder the unit tomorrow. BTW how much air actually comes out of that compressor? I don't get a blast, more like a lite puffing right up to the solenoid. Once it goes into the solenoid I get nothing but it does click
  14. cabreco
    So I somehow screwed up the CLASS. Before I started to solder the board I figured I would spray soapy water on the hoses to see a leak. I found it at the solenoid. I took the back end off the bike took apart the solenoidcleaned it up. Emptied the desicant. Nuked it for 2 minutes. It went from pink to blue. I reassembled it and fired it up if filled to 71 rear 17 front. I checked for leaks...absolutly none she held pressure for an hour. Now is when my issues began, I couldn't leave well enough alone I decreased the pressure to low, then tried to refill it only to get an E2 error. I confiirmed the solinoid open the compressor is working yet the system will not fill. I took it apart again, put it back. not the system has 0 air & it will not fill, I only get the e2 error. Am I missing something?? BTW am I right in that the rear shock line runs down the left & the front line runs down the right side of the bike?

    Well sometime you overlook the obvious. 10psi at the front tire 23 at the rear DUH! Filled it to specs and she corners much better. I did a quick check on the looseness of the tree bearings by lifting her off the ground & seeing if the the forks drop to either side by themselves (they did not) I also did the bounce test by tossing the front to once side & letting her bounce back. She bounced off the stop & stopped. I also took by hands off the grips & she doesn't wobble. It's just a slight grinding-ish feel I get at the grips when turning. It may be a dragging caliper though. (the more I type the more I think of stuff) I welcome any thoughts of what else to check. Thanks

    Congratulations!

    Ok I do hear a slight purge after I fill I think I will check the solders 1st since that is an easy fix. Plus even though I filled it up it still feels like the front end is not cushioning the ride like it should. Did you just do the pins or all the board solders? BTW I just took the bike out for a hard ride to pump some Seafoam into the carbs. Man this bike can fly! I had her up to 90 without realizing it. At highway speeds she is smooth as silk! I did feel a small vibration at low 30mph when turning (right or left) onto another block, is this a normal feel? This bike is so much fun it's FREAKY!

    Ok so I have a lot of GREAT ideas here for troubleshooting. Good thing it's January and cruising doesn't start until May (and that I have my Honda) I have 4 months to get her up to snuff. Ray, even with bad solders I do fill up (i feel it) and if it's even if it's not filling to what it says, why would the system purge the pressure? Unless the CLASS is signaling the solenoid valve to purge. Carl the concern about the solenoid valve seals seats being corroded and let air out could really be a possibility. My understanding is this bike's original owner died & the bike sat awhile. It only has 14K original mile so I'm sure the desiccant was NEVER done at all. I'm not really happy with the way the front forks respond to bumps in the road, even with 17 psi up front. Plus I will check the bearings since the front feels funny not wobbly just funny...not too bad just, not like my CB 750. Unless it's that I'm not used to the weight of the fairing. I have also read about progressives for the front forks? What are these? anyone have any links to vendors?

    Ok so here is my figures: Filled front & rear to high @5:00 pm R 71 psi F 17 psi @6:00 pm R 59 psi minus 12 F 14 psi minus 3 @7:00 pm R 50 psi minus 9 F 14 psi minus 2 @8:00 pm R 41 psi minus 9 F 11 psi minus 1 @9:00 pm R 31 psi minus 10 F 9 psi minus 2 @10:00pm R 23 psi minus 8 F 8 psi minus 1 So I am averaging a pressure loss of 9.6 psi per hour at the rear and 1.8 psi per hour at the front. Then by my calculations would deplete the air in around 8 hours, no small leak. I see that there are 4 lines & barring multiple leaks, the front & rear are independent after the valve SO... If it's a line, it's either the compressor to dryer or the dryer to solenoid valve line...or the countless O-rings in between. On the bright side all the electronic components work and I'll take this opportunity to replace the silica gel in the dryer. I just hope it turns out to be a weak O-ring & not something expensive.

    I filled it this afternoon to 17Front / 71Rear and just checked I was down to 12 Front / 46 Rear. I just don't know what timme I filled. I just refilled it, I will check in 1 hour to see the rate of decay. I do know that eventually I will 0 out.
  21. cabreco
    Also another question that comes to mind. There are 2 setting on the controller: Automatic & Manual Does this mean that on automatic the sysyem will maintain set pressure while riding? or does it mean that it will fill to preset values initially?
  22. cabreco
    I guess Jurob never got to fix this. I wish I would have realized it BEFORE I reassembled everything!!!! I am losing pressure in the system. The front forks seals are not leaking but I am losing pressure overnight both front & back. So I will start spraying soapy water. So it's quite possible the bladder in the shock is bad??? Would that cause the front to lose pressure??

    Thanks for looking Ray, I appreciate the effort. Fortunately rstacy has one on hand. Great group of people here on this forum. I'm really glad I decided on this forum.
  24. cabreco
    I'm sure a small piece of speaker cloth from an old stereo speaker cabinet would do well for that!

    Thanks Ray. I really appreciate the help.
