Well, I got the carb rack off the 83 tonight. Those linkages are something else! I have no idea how I'm gonna get them back together!!! Just taking them off was a real test of my "christian vocabulary"!!!!!!!:bang head: Any way....now all I need is the parts So...for a proper job, could someone tell me what parts I need to order? I have new diaphrams already Also....the fuel line looks like a red colour braded hose. is that the original one? Thinking I might just as well change while I'm at it if it is. Also going to do the head cover gaskets. Although it looks like it has been leaking from the bolts more so than the covers themselves. Lots of other jobs...not likely going to see the road this summer.

We took a fall colour ride through Ontario's Algonquin Park on Saturday. The colours are almost at their peaks. [ATTACH]61028[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]61029[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]61030[/ATTACH]

This is something I've been dealing with ever since I took my 99 RSV into the dealer a few years ago to have them fix my carbs because gas was pouring out of my overflow tube on the left side. They fixed that problem, but ever since my gas mileage has been on the low 30's. Black Owl and I have carb tuned it and last year at Pork in the Pines I used the color tune to check the fuel air mixtures. The fuel air mix appeared to be ok with a nice blue flame in each cylinder. But I've had all winter and spring to get up the courage and start adjusting the mixture on each carb. So I started by turning each mixture screw in 1/4 turn then running a few tanks of gas to see if things improved. After the second time there was a little mpg increase to about 36mpg (up from 34) and the nasty gas smell was gone. So I tried a third time. Mileage went down a bit and the gas smell came back. By this time I had turned each screw in 3/4's of a turn total. I had read on these forums somewhere that you should start with the mixture screws at 2 1/2 turns out if say you were rebuilding your carbs and needed to start at a base line. So last night I carefully turned each screw all the way in while counting the turns and reset each one to 2.5 turns out. Here are the counts for each carb as I turned the mixture screws all the way in. carb #1 3+ turns in carb #2 3+ turns in carb #3 2 3/4 turns in carb #4 2 1/2 turns in This after I had already turned each in by 3/4 turns over the past month. Questions: 1. Were those mixture screws out way too far? 2. Did I do the right thing by adjusting them all to 2.5 turns out? It runs pretty good today. I have not ridden far enough to see if MPG changed. 3. Is there a better tool besides the colour tune to determine air fuel mixture? It is pretty subjective as to the correct color shade of the blue flame. If not, I may beg to borrow a colour tune again. 4. I know I should re-sync the carbs after all this. Black Owl, you got the time to help? 5. is there anything else I should check? ============================== Update I should have mentioned the plugs are good. I replaced them last fall. Only about 4k on them. The headers heat up evenly, I already thought of that. I should buy stock in seafoam as I use so much of it. (1 can about ever other month) I don't have a tach, but I did buy a meter that is supposed to measure RPM with a clamp over the #1 plug wire. 1000RPM?? Really that high? When I pulled the old plugs last fall at Pork in the Pines, they looked good. Nice tan color to them. No clue on the AIS. I bought this bike used a few years back. No popping on deceleration anymore. There used to be popping before I took it in for repair a few years ago. HOWEVER, I had amazing Howitzer like backfire almost on command during deceleration until I started adjusting the mixture screws. Update (again): I have K&N air filters and I take care of them routinely.

Just curious where I can get a decent paint colour sample of the 2006 Black Cherry ? I would like something that I can bring to a painter to match the paint. Brad

It's been a long hard search, but found the exact colour, and mileage range that I was looking for, and she was only 65 Kms from home, even managed to get the price that I was hoping for. Picked her up today and rode her home, totally different ride than the 84, but very comfortable. My son is extremely impressed with the colour and chrome, in his words "OOOOOOOOH SHINY!!"

Hot off the press guys. Here's a shot of the 2009 Royal Star Venture. Who said they were going to re-vamp it? Just a (very) different colour scheme. They're calling it Brokeback Mountain Pink as a tribute to Heath. :rotf: | | | | | | | | | | | | \/

First day of lay-off myself and two riders from work went for 500klm ride to Collingwood and surrounding area. Roads and scenery were great. Not to many trees were turning colour but it was a great ride anyway. Stopped for supper at Ted's Range Road Diner outside of Meaford (west of Collingwood)and had a Bison burger(good eats) . the menu was very broad including wild game allkinds of fish and sea food. He is biker friendly as one of my fellow riders seen his ad in in motorcycle magazine and as he doesn't open till 5:00pm his wife asked him and he opened at around 3:00pm just so we could have a meal(only burgers and fries with a drink) and be on our way. Would recomend this place for good food. Not much to look at from out side but all right inside. Looking forward to going to New York for the ride thru the mountains to see the leaves changing colour on the 13th of Oct.

I have a 1988 Venture Royale. I'm wanting to change and flush engine coolant. What is the recommendation for coolant? I have access to Toyota Long Life type (dark red colour).....would this be suitable/ acceptable?? As i understand it.....it should be mixed 50/50...is that correct? Thanks. rez
