  1. my clutch is slipping when in 5th gear and nailing it.what clutch plates are you guys replacing stock with? the lever is not adjustable and although i've never had a problem with any other machines it seems to be a long pull to get to the levers,also the pull is very hard almost harley like which seems wrong with a hydraulic clutch?. i was averaging 38mpg with the rig all of a sudden it dropped to 30 and the clutch slip seems to occur at high speed,could it be slipping even at lower speeds and not feel like it to cause a 25% drop in mpg? are there adjustable levers available for the vr? thanks

  2. 1987 with 36k with sidecar was averaging 38-40 all of a sudden dropped to 21, 26.2, 31.7, 28.6 , 29 no long idling no excessive speed rig coasts fine no brake drag i thought if there is a return line do to fuel pump maybe it broke or was leaking but there is no gas smell or residue. is there a return line line and any suggestions to look for for milage drop could it be clutch?doesnt seem to be slipping.

  3. i put cree 10 watt lights on my ninja 250 that are incredible as far as visibility to cars go. since installation no one haspulled in front of me.i just recieved a set of cree 18 watt to install on the venture sidecar. will be adding a osram european halogen to the headlight.these european bulbs are different then the usa silverlights and are stock wattage but throw much more light.

    as you'll see the mounting for the bolt on the tank cover is missing as is the 2 mounting places for the left sidecover. i can fashion a plate to come out to meet the top tang for the sidecover the lower tang is missing the metal to connect to,the metal is broken off to the frame. but the tank cover i'm at a loss to figure as i don't see where it was in the first place on this bike.Ido see where it is on your bike but can't see how it would mount to mine if i had the bracket also the grommet for the tang on the tank cover is shot dry rot and top part missing so tab has nothing to hang on to.i'm sure these are not available as is most parts for the bike.again any help will be appreciated

    Take off your seat..it looks like it's mounted to far forward or maybe not. But should help you see where the tab should be! The top plastic tank cover hooks under the tripple tree and then pulls back to cover the battery and tank fill. The rear lip goes under the front edge of the seat...There is a good size metal brace with a small tab and a screw hole on it....

     

    hope this helps,
