I know a Secret! and its a different color than the rest....... ..

Your welcome!

I went through mine a couple weeks ago and found about all of the old solder joints bad. I simply resoldered all joint with some new silver solder and she works like new again. The tech section showing the e4 code fix shows about seven joints to re-do, but do them all.

I wish I could leave sooner, but work keeps getting in the way...... I'll be there by noon Thursday.

I've ordered tires a couple times and got great fast service. The last set was ordered on a Thursday and was setting on my door step by before noon on Monday...... Eight days isn't bad unless you are down from riding. I plan to order another set this fall......

As I said earlier about going south, Texas could be a good place to start looking around......

It is hard to be fair to everyone, and pick a place that several members doesn't have a couple thousand miles to get there. Only thing I can suggest is having it back and forward like Squid said, but has the last two International Rallies been more toward the north? So maybe next one can be more to the southern border.......

Just for fun, half way through the flight you could always get your helmet out and put it on....... just to see what happens. Have fun! Are you stopping by Asheville on your way back south?

CLASS unit not working???
Skid replied to woz111's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Great ! I just got mine back together today after going over all the soldering joints and it is working like it is supposed to now. So far this week, I got a new CB antenna, the squelch control fixed, hardwired my XM into the bike, and got the class control fixed. What a great week..... -
Today I put the class control back on the bike and it works like new again. I used the info from the tech libary and went through the circuit board. Found several loose or bad solder joints that needed re-done other than the seven joints listed in the information. The moral of this story is: Check all solder joints when doing this repair.....
-
Did you think to ask the Hotel if they had any video surveillance? Maybe you'll get lucky like RandyA......
-
The CB and new antenna are working great together. Just like brand new again. I've taken the class control apart and should have it back in tomorrow. Hopefuly the E4 code will be gone. I've also hard wired the XM radio this week, so the cigarette lighter plug is no longer needed.....

Unless Brown Sugar has a VERY bad day, it will never happen.....

Move to Gassaway and get FREE internet.......

Skid replied to Sideoftheroad's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I just switched mine out on my First Gen. Made a very nice upgrade. Here is a link to the last posts with picxtures of mine. Also the info where I ordered mine from. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24485 -
Nice lookin ride Squid, hope you and Lonna gets time to use it....
-
Won't be me, but then again I'm not paying into Social Security now either. Only a little over 5 years and I'll be collecting retirement!

That other antenna was worthless. I couldn't hear anything on it before. Last night I was hearing skip from clear across the country. First time I ever heard anything like that on the bike.
-
I don't think it will move too much, it's pretty stiff. I think the spring would let it move more. I'l try it out tomorrow evening......

Todd, here is what everything costed me. It fit the 1/2 inch hole in the mount perfect. All I needed was the antenna and mounting hardware. I alkready had to coax to replace it.

Ok I got time today to switch over the new antenna. So far I can tell it is working much better. So if the next Skid-In gets bigger, I will be able to hear my tail-gunner next year....
