Glad you came out of it with your body more or less in one piece,hope you heal quickly,it`s always amazed me that (cage) drivers can be so unaware of their surroundings,I know we all have seen some of these people on the road,you just want to pull them out of their vehicle and slap them until they wake up,OK enough ranting,God Bless heal quickly.

Great video!! Thanks for sharing.

For everyone out there,after wrenching for 45 years,any time I had a power problem I would have someone rev the engine while I held my hand over exhaust(with glove) to see if I had good flow,if questionable I would drop exhaust at manifolds and test drive.They also make a back-pressure test kit that screws into o2 sensor hole,over 4-5 lbs of back pressure you have a problem.

Gee,I could have really used a set last week when my lovely wife backed into my 92VR and knocked it over,worst view I`ve ever had of my bike,I could see both tires and my whole exhaust system.

I just returned from a 2000 mile trip and spent alot of time looking at my tach and speedo,4000 rpm`s is right around 70,my 92 vr is turning about 4700 at 80 mph.

I`ve been running H rated venoms for about 8 or 9 years,this summer I thought I`d save a few bucks so I bought Conti-Milestone`s well that was a crappy idea,they wore out in 6500 miles so definitely going back to Avon Venoms,lesson learne:confused24::confused24:d,if you buy cheap you get cheap.

Just a quick thought,maybe one Forward and one Backward,used to do it with our dirt bikes to keep handle bars from hitting.

A good friend of mine had the same problem on his 83 he found another valve at a cycle salvage yard,put it on and it cured it.

I usually at the very least give them a hand signal that they are number 1.

Glad you got stopped without putting the shiny side down,I`ve always said that dirt riding is the best training you can get.

I :301:was just looking at the links to e-bay and there is a Maroon vr on there with a great pic of the front--the Mascot is Maroon.

I have a blue royale and the background color is black. sorry,it`s a 92.

Harbor Freight sells a great air powered vacuum bleeder for about 30 bucks,I`ve used mine on cars,trucks and bikes never had any problem.

I tried one on 2 years ago,didn`t like the fit and it had to many parts to make it practical for me,mainly because I ride all year round except for ice and snow on the roads,I bought an N104 and really like it most of the time,except when it`s a hundred degrees out,I can ride with it open or closed,it even can be locked open.

I have done t the/same way as Micarl for years,as long as you maintain pressure while heating it works great..

Harbor freight also sells a air operated vacuum pump for about 30 bucks,works excellent..

Great story,just curious how many miles they put on it.

You can pull the cable out from the bottom after you unscrew the housing from the speedo drive the core will come out from the bottom,also you can hook adrill to the cable to see if the speedo works.

Great story,Best of luck to everyone involved.

I hope everything turns out OK,God Bless.

I would assume thatt your carb picked up a piece of dirt and running it dry and letting it refill it flushed the dirt out.

I just had a thought-,you might consider checking into Landin'gear. They have a great video on how it works,good luck with your diabetes and God Bless.

Napa sells a universal cable. That works fine,I used one on my 92 vr.

I just bled the brakes on my 92 vr and factory manual says front----rear--bleeder by steering head also it says to remove front bolt on rear caliper and tip it up an inch and a half--I did all this and had no issues.
