I have never met the guy but when I got there and parked i happened to look over and there was a Venture! He was squatted down with one of those plug in type emergency air compressors. I went to go give him a hand and that's when he told me what the other guys had done to him. He said he always runs what the manual says of 36-36. He said he had been having some handling problems. I asked if he had a leaking rear shock or had he ever checked the stearing head bearings. He said he had done nothing to the bike no carb sync, no adjustments period. 08 with 96k miles. He also said he had a tour deluxe with 113k that would get water in the oil. I asked about the head gasket and he said he had some sort of vacuum problem.?.?.?.?.!. Anyway thanks guys.
