[Cruise Panel Bulbs]

I replaced mine with 1.5 or 2 watt bulbs, so they wouldn't be so bright. Any auto parts store.

[Not MC, but still looks like fun. My other passion.]

Will I be able to see the carnage from here?

[Get together in Wisconsin]

I wish this month was not so busy. I need a weekend of riding the hills and swapping stories, but the timing is not gonna work. Everybody stay safe and have a blast.

[1986 Yamaha Venture Royale]

Just a reminder, the bike will probably start, but won't rev or drive without the air filter and cover in place.

[R&R Intake Manifold Boots & Short in Electrical System]

There is a metal core in the boot. Check for leaks. I would not replace them, unless the appearance bothers you.

[Fuel, spark, air??? Who Knows?? HELP]

I wonder if the system voltage may be dropping. That would cause it to spit and sputter.

[Gen 1 and Gen 2 - pros and cons]

1st Gen has a center stand, tachometer and on-board compressor (CLASS). Almost forgot the great adjustable handlebars.

[Speedometer inaccuracy]

My 1990 is 2mph off no matter the speed. So calibration is good, but needle position is off a little. Odometer is perfect.

[Anybody ever use a Mow-N-Vac?]

Have you ever tried a mulching setup? It might not work if the leaves get too deep, though.

[How do I solder this?]

Remember, if your tip isn't shiny and well tinned you are not going to conduct heat fast enough.

[What did you do to your venture today?]

I changed out the coolant and fired it up for the first time, this year. It started and ran as if I rode yesterday. Checked all the fluids, the tires and controls, then took it out for a quick 40 miles. It's nice to finally get a break from work to relax a little. A little warmer in the mornings and I will start riding to work. That will give me 110 miles of smiles a day.

Watch Canadian Bacon. The only relevant history on U.S. Canadian relations.

John Candy at his best.

Mine fits in my pocket with room to spare.

I have a simpler version in my garage. I've had it for over 20 years. It is a Larin brand. It only has one hinge. I love it.

[Can somebody help please]

At 50 you should just be shifting to 3rd.

How long is something like that going to last?

[How many inches can a royal star venture be lowered]

The 1st Gen Venture chassis is completely different from the Royal Stars. None of the changes made to lower a Royal Star will apply to the Venture (Gen 1).

[Can anyone send me the link to the VENTURE manual, please?]

Get some Vibra-Tite. You can get it from McMaster Carr. It is safe around all plastic types.

[What did you do to your venture today?]

It is in the 40s today, so I rode to work. Might hit upper 50s this weekend!
