What is this plug??
hipshot replied to Squidley's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
brad. that is the female half, of an electrical connection! it isn't used by first gen riders. it was put there by yamaha, so that a special module could be plugged in at a later date. this module cuts the horse power in half, so that ex-2nd gen riders wouldn't be traumatized by the shear power and SPEED that these old bikes can develop! lol:confused24: actually, i guess we'll have to wain on squeeze!. i ain't got a clue. just jt -

Trouble with which socket?
hipshot replied to Ohedron42's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
i took a standard 18MM socket, and ground it down on the lower half, so that it just fits into the tapered hole. 1inch extension, just to break the plug loose. then i use a piece of vacuum hose to unscrew the plugs, and to start the new ones back in. just jt -

yea! gw. but you never went past the red line, let alone the "rev limiter"!!!! you need to get "yammer dan" to show ya the ropes! given the weight differential, a first gen, will "out perform" almost EVERY crotch rocket on the streets! of course, 2nd gens, redline a LOT sooner than an "antique". so , they are hopelessly , lost! second best ain't so bad, if ya ride a 2nd gen! lol:stirthepot::stirthepot: just jt
