    Thanks Jim, that's a good start. May try Yammi's site and see if they got anything, or I'll check with Flatout when I'm in there. I'll post anything I find. Dan

    Randy, once I took it apart and got the close-up pics, I knew it needed cut. I will review the thread tonite on the procedure, and will make the determination then. It really surprised me how much the thrust washer was worn down. I wonder if one has ever worn all the way through? What a mess that would create! Thanks for looking, I'm just gonna go ahead and replace the fork, not much cost there. A previous post shows the wear on the fork. Dan

    Great finish to the article Cecil, well done! Dan

    OK, looking through the manual, I see that there are different beginning serial #'s for the XVZ12. There is JYA26H (TK), mine is a 41R (L), 41V (DL), 47R (KC2), 47T (DKC2), 31M (TDK). Does anyone know the difference or what the different enumerators stand for? I'm just passing time and was wondering. Might help for parts ID. Dan

    Fixit, never got to get it on in 2nd, but 1st and 3rd was OK. THis fix along with putting on the vboost under the carbs should get me at least "Warp 3", I'm thinkin'. Not that I will always ride like that, but if you need it to get out of a situation, it'll be there! Definately will not be pulling the trigger on the vboost with the Navigator on there! By the way, did you do your own cutting on the dogs? I'm kind of hesitant after reading Randy's column on this, but I could be psyching myself out. However, I'm not above letting someone else who has more experience do this for me. Thanks, Dan

    You've got 2"s and 60 pounds on me, it's all technique. I tend to use the rear guard rail and foot to get the bike up (ya'll thought I was gonna say "get it up" didn't ya!). Just make sure you're about a foot or so away from anything behind the bike. Dan

    Ok, here we are

    Here are the close-up pics of the dogs and gear. Thrust washer is worn almost 1/3rd of the way through. Needs undercut, huh? Wanna do it for me? Dan I'll try it again, this time I'll actually add the pictures!!!! Dooooh!

    So if I'm figurin' this out, with the colortune you're actually tuning the mixture (air/fuel) by looking at the explosion of the mixture in the cylinder? I missed the original post on this do-dad. That and right now I got plenty of parts for Jeff to throw around. That sounds cool as all-get-out. D--n, I need to move to NC and buy some ice cream!!!!!!

    By the way who moved the smiles ? Not on the side no more but I found them Brad Freebird messin' with us again, seeing if we pay attention! Dan

    Wow, and I thought I was having fun with my complete teardown. My harness is loose from the bike, but still in fairing frame, headlight, etc. if I can help you. It is a virgin harness with no mods. Dan
  17. Dano
    Nice bike, better lock it up when Freebird is around! Enjoy, Dan

    I don't see a Venturerider tshirt on her yet!!!!! Congratulations, Kan, have fun spoiling her! Dan:bighug:

    Yeah, I just went through the parts fiche and found the same thing. It must have come from the factory that way, Doesn't look like anybodies been hear before. Just had me worried. Dan

    Make sure that the drain valve on the lower front cross-tube is in the off position. This is approximately 2 o'clock as you are looking at it. Mine seeped for a bit, I turned it back and forth, then set it to off, and it quit. This was last winter. Use a flashlight to look at it, it is printed with off/on on the front. Good luck Dan

    Ok, just noticed on my bearings on both shafts, only 1 has a full circlip on it(Big bearing on main axle). The other two ( small bearing main axle, opposite end from pinion on drive axle) only have half-clips that are in the lower case half. No parts left in the main case. Is that how they're supposed to be? MamaYama manual shows full clips, the case is grooved for full clips. Inquiring minds want to know!!!!!! Dan

    Good idea, ordering thru Flatout, so I hope they get it right. Gonna sit down tonite and get busy. Let me know how it works out. Good luck, Dan

    If your bike has never been apart for a thorough cleaning, it'll get like this. My 84 was nasty when I tore it down. Under the clutch slave cylinder cover, you will get seepage from the alternator wires that come out of the left side case, maybe some from the clutch slave cylinder if it's been bled, maybe even valve cover gaskets. You should be able to get to the plug wires after you remove the battery box, may even be able to remove the setup-- also has your ignition box and boost sensor on the bracket. Clean all your connections with an electrical component cleaner while you have them out. I'm sure others will be on here to help also. Good luck, Dan

    Thanks guys, will have sandblasted (local company) and paint frame. I think I have enough threads to chase after painting that powdercoating would take too long. Definately going after all bearings, I think this is where my "frame wobble" comes in. Just felt like every bearing had play while riding (of course, theres only the 2 swing arm and the neck bearings that contribute mightily to this) I know, wheel bearings too, but frame has to do with rigidity)). I do want to ride this year, but with a marked improvement over last year, and not have to worry about it later. Squeeze, the grease fittings for the neck and swingarm-- just past the races? Definately want these. Gotta go now, more maintenance around the house to do. Talk to ya later Dan
