At least we remembered to show up..........

Well after a day of massive drugs, the foot does not look any better to my eye. All of the docs she needs to see were off today, go figure. Tomorrow the doc that did the surgery and an infection specialist will be checking her out to see how much if any damage there is.

Unfortunately I now know how I will spend mine, not having fun.

Last night at 7:30 I took Erika into the ER cuz her foot was really hurting. As soon as the doc looked at it they said she had to go right to Freidert. So off to Freidert we went. Freidert is a huge medical complex that is supposed to have some of the best experts. They said her foot is very badly infected possibly with a bone infection also. still waiting for tests on that part. At about 1:00 this morning they admitted her, she might be there for a few days till they can get the infection beat down. They are pouring in some Heavy Duty drugs via a IV. She will see a specialist and the ortho surgeon tomorrow/later today. Ya she was bad and did not follow either the Drs or my instructions. I think I called that one, and yes I told her so, repeatedly. When this does get cleared up, i will give her a hug and a kiss and a kick in the A$$.

A little bit of tongue always helps.

The article does not say exactly what happened, but judging from the shape of the dent in the front of the P/U and the leaning telephone pole, it was the pole that flipped the truck, not the bike. Can't tell from the pics where or from what direction the bike hit the P/U.

So did Karen help/let you back into the house? Hmmm... maybe hand and/or ankle cuffs are in order to make sure you behave yourself ......

And then just ride real slow.

Well I met up with the Black Owl last night. He gave me a chunk of trailer tongue for my trailer. We also had a nice chat till the restaurant was just about ready to throw us out...... Thanks again Russell
-
The wheel notch is something to consider. If you extent the rear of the trailer the balance may be off from the bike being to far back and cause towing problems, till you also move the axle back.
-
I did not mean to imply that some one died, I do not know if that happened or not, but there were people injured that will have to live with those injuries, shop owners had their livelihood destroyed, this will have long term effects on their lives also. I hope there is enough video to catch the jerks.

You could always get a Cannon digital body and still be able to use all of the lenses and other stuff that you already have. You will find that there is not much difference between the new digital body and your old film body.

C4 can make almost any problem go away....... At least it does on Mythbusters..... If there are ever kids in the car there is a good chance that one of them dropped something in the mechanism that has it messed up

I guess I'll never understand the mentality t hat caused one to feel justified in destroying some strangers life over a sporting event. I really just don't get it. :confused24:

Yes you must have plenty of sizes of hammers at a MD. You always want to use the right tool for the job..........
-
Seeing as how it is an overhead cam, I don't think head bolt torque has any effect on valve lash.
-
It appears that your brackets are broke. Your red text is inside of the brackets for the closing sigpic
-
Ok I know that I am old and have a bad case of CRS. BUT Wasn't there a thread a while bake about the valves where it was stated that as the valve train wears on these bikes the measured clearance gets smaller until it gets to the point that the valve will no longer close causing burnt valves? Or am I just hallucinating again? So if your at .20mm that's ideal? HA! Found it!

Actually the article states that there is a 22% decrease in neck injury, from those WITH a helmet.

Have you been visiting the PT department? Those pieces of equipment look more like modern versions of some medieval torturers tools.

I did not realize that all Yamaha ATVs worldwide are built in the USA. http://www.bizjournals.com/milwaukee/news/2011/05/18/yamaha-adding-hundreds-of-us-jobs.html I sure wish I could just walk into the Yami distribution center that is almost walking distance from where I work to get the parts I need. But NOOOoooooo, They have to ship the part from my back yard halfway across the country so that someone else can ship the parts back where they came from. Now if we can just get the big bikes made here.........
-
Is it just a matter of having to do some maintenance on the floating caliper, like maybe some grease on the pins, we all know that the Yami factory is allergic to grease around the rear wheel so they don't use it like they should. I never took a 2nd gen apart so I am just belching out ideas with no real knowledge here.

Help! No taillights!
Flyinfool replied to reddevilmedic's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Here are a couple of links. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/sh...3&postcount=10 http://www.venturerider.org/forum/sh...5&postcount=11 http://www.venturerider.org/forum/sh...ad.php?t=33285 The first one is for an '83 and the second one is for an '84 If you are not comfortable soldering on a PCB, find a friend that is. I jumpered all 4 reed switches so that the CMU is ready when I convert to all LED lights. The reed switches are for; Headlight low beam Headlight High beam Tail light Brake light For the HID you need to do the 2 headlight switches and if you intend to put in a LED tail / brake light you need to do the other 2. So I just did all 4 so that I did not have to figure out which one does what. I did a writeup of getting to the CPU for the HID install on my '88 but it should be very similar for yours. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showpost.php?p=462430&postcount=19 I do not think the front end of the Blue/white wire will be accessible from the headlight, you will probably need to pull the dash cover to get at it. Once you get to the connector at the back of the CPU, if there is no power at the blue/white wire, then check the blue wire at the CPU connector, if the blue lights the tester and the blue/white does not then your problem is in the CPU. -
And tell your friend to come here and join. It will be the best investment he can make in his bike.

Thermostat housing leaks
Flyinfool replied to frankd's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
OK so how much stuff did you have to take off to get at the t-stat cover. Mine is now leaking. It has a small crack in the front. New cover, O-rings and t-stat are on order.
