disconect 85 and 86 wires from the relay. Does horn still honk when you turn the key on? If yes, then your problem has nothing to do with the new horn. It is something else on the bike. If no, the connect one of the wires back to the relay. Test for honk on power up. Let us know and well go from there.

1st Gen Venture with EFi?
Flyinfool replied to twigg's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Fuel injection by its self will not make more horse power. The FI just keeps the mixture correct at all times, this may give a SLIGHT increase in power at CERTAIN speeds where the carb was way off. Getting more power would require getting more air through the engine by bigger intake, and/or better exhaust, and/or bigger valves/cam. I would love to mess with it if I had the money to waste. -
My local locksmith had the blanks in stock. It was around $7 total to have 3 keys made. Now if you are saying that you have no ignition key at all, then your only bet might be to take the ignition switch to a locksmith to have him make one, and get some spares right away. I keep a spare key hidden on the bike so that I can still get home if I should loose my keys while out of town.

Another charging issue
Flyinfool replied to Power Trippin's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Start by checking the main fuse. Then start over at the beginning and test the NEW stator and RR. It is possible to get a new bad part. A bad stator can take out a RR and a bad RR can take out a stator. You should be seeing 20+ volts AC between any 2 legs of the stator with the engine running. The voltage should be pretty close to the same between all legs. Check it both connected and disconnected from the RR. Check the output side of the RR to see if you have about 14 VDC there. -
Traffic around north east IL is always somewhere between a demo derby and a suicide run. I hate Chicago traffic. If you pay attention, most of the cars on the road have dents in them.

Trucks do much better with deer than cars do. When I hit a deer with my GMC all that happened was a cracked grill, and a full freezer. Then 20 minutes after leaving that spot I hit a second deer, that one left no damage but got up and ran away. These were both very early in the morning on my way to my deer hunting stand. I guess they were in a hurry to get into my freezer.

Gnats on "Billet Saddlebag Hinge Accents" Thread
Flyinfool replied to awsmsrv's topic in Watering Hole
I first noticed them in this thread. www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=71332 But they are gone now. None of the posts show as having been edited so it may have been in someones sig. I did find the site with the offending code. -
There's bugs and then there's bugs.......... http://screen-bug.googlecode.com/git/crawling_bug.gif It is not a virus or anything on your computer. Just have to figure out who is adding this code to their posts. Maybe a moderator????

Either lemon law it or trade it before the warranty runs out. My GMC has 300K and has had nothing other than maintenance items done since I bought it new. It has NEVER been in a dealers shop since the day I picked it up. I have an extended cab 8' box that regularly gets airborne on the back logging roads, it is not pampered. I beat the snot out of it, but maintain it. It could be possible, I have seen companies loosen the spec so that they would not have to replace worn tooling. It is also possible that they were required to change the material the clutches were made from. I went thru a period where I was doing brakes every 4-5 months when the EPA mandated a change in the material. It took a few years for the manufacturers to come up with a new material that held up.
