Our headsets have been intermittant (at best) for some time now...yesterday's ride they were unusable. What is the best way to have them repaired...take to dealer, or where? Or, should we just replace them...if so, with what?

We have a JMCB-2003 on Elizabeth's Kawasaki so we can talk on rides. It started acting up on us recently and I contacted their customer service for some help to pinpoint the issue. John Lazzeroni sent me several emails detailing test steps that isolated the problem to the unit itself. He could have told me that it was time for a new one (it was out of warranty), but he had me send it in and they repaired it for less than half what a new one would have cost. They also shipped promptly to get it back to us. While the unit was being repaired we were back using a handheld and throat mike. We had forgotten how frustrating that was. If you are trying to communicate with a bike without the built-in CB, you should give the J&M a look.

I dont post often, but its not because I'm shy... I just haven't had the ability to get on the net very often, until just recently that is. Now I log on daily from here and make more plans to upgrade my "finished VR" Right now at home there are several boxes with more parts.... Someone told me a while ago that I would never "finish my ride" They don't know how right they were. Almost everything done to this ride, i got the idea or the information I needed from this forum. Brief history of my 1986 Venture Royale I purchased this from a younger kid in 2000. The bike had 36,000 miles on it and ran fine but was beat up from being dropped and abused. Since then I have completely stripped it down to the frame, set valves, replaced and rebuilt the carbs, polished and cleaned and painted the engine parts. Replaced Chrome Removed the fuel tank and had it lined. replaced tires and brakes, rebuilt the master cylinders. Repaired various wiring cass system, and re soldered the computer in the dash. Added Jardine pipes. Added a gel battery. Replaced a lot of the plastic and repaired the rest. Repainted it in its current colors. I thought I was done.... I am gone a lot and this took several years to complete. Then I started reading here. Now sitting at home are the parts to upgrade the fuse box, progressive springs for the forks along with the upgrade fork brace. I purchased a new aftermarket CDI to install. I plan to upgrade the starter and cables. I am sure there is more I will find to do. Someday I may even get the chance to ride this thing. I think in the last two years it has about 18 miles put on it. Anyway, the reason for this post. THANK YOU! to everyone that helped even though you didn't realize it most of the time.!!! rjjammer

Almost 80 degrees today...wanted to take the bike for a spin. It wasn't handling properly...thought perhaps tire pressure. Sure enough it was low...while adding air realized that the valve stem was rotted and broken. The bike is only two and 1/2 yrs old...this surprises me. Anyway, I need to get it repaired...I am not much of a mechanic and I am wondering how difficult it is to remove the front wheel. Appreciate any advice.

I'm really amazed at the amount of valuable information and suggestions that I have read on this forum within just this year. I keep itemized notes of every important item that I may want to reference in the future. I truly thank all of you members for this! And then to top it off, my trunk spoiler had a section of lights which weren't working and from a previous thread, "Andrew of ablumny," had noted that a friend of his had repaired his. I contacted Andrew and he said to send it out to him. I did that and he got it repaired beautifully and sent it back to me. I say Thank You, Thank You, and I feel eternally indebted for this act of kindness and hope he is repaid many times from either my help or others! This made my day! Owen. -

On my 85 VR I can't turn this valve without using a pair of pliers. My brothers 88 has the same problem. Even the one we looked at at a local bike shop had this problem. Is this common? Can it be repaired? Dave

Has anyone found a good solution for repair or replacement of the idiotic plastic chrome strip under the windshield. The tabs break if you even think about taking it off!!!! At first I thought it was me... But now I am convinced that it's a cheap, idiotic design. Or perhaps it was done this way to make money for Yamaha - have you ever priced it?? The first break I repaired by reinforcing from the back side with epoxy. Worked OK but the second tab that broke didn't do as well. If you know something I don't please share.
