Found a flat rear tire, puncture in the middle of the tread. Pulled the wheel to find the pumpkin dumping gear oil. 🤬🤬🤬. New tire mounted and waiting for new bearings and seals for the final drive. All right before Vogel.

I don’t know about DAB but I gutted the cassette case and installed USB ports and a volt meter from Amazon. I made a faceplate from ABS plastic sheet for the install and installed a Bluetooth receiver to stream music from my phone.

I would be Interested, love that area, ran Trot lines and caught many Crappie, Fish On, there in Springville.
If we go to Boss Hoss Trikes we may cross the ferry at Springville.

I just signed in with my wife’s phone to try it, worked fine. Any chance you’re on a shared Wi-Fi @Du-Rron? I’ve had similar issues on Wi-Fi before.

Thank You Freebird. This is the first forum I have officially joined & supported. I just purchased a 1996 Yamaha Royal Star and I am hoping the Venture Riders group can provide more useful info than Google.
Google is how I ended up here, every time I googled a problem on my 1st Gen it’d take me to VR. I read thru part of the site and realized none of the social media BS and name calling was going on here so I joined. 2 bikes and several VR rallies later still having fun.

I am a new 2009 Venture owner and have heard good things about leveling links. Being a taller rider I think it would be good to get a set, how to I coordinate an order with you?

Guy I worked with bet me $5 we wouldn’t last 3 years. I made him pay me at 3 years. His $5 bill has been in the frame of one of our wedding pictures for 27 years in May.

Well I found what I wanted at a better price. 2023 LT-1LT Z71 crew cab $12,000 below MSRP and they gave me a solid trade in on my truck. Getting hard to find chrome bumpers anymore, they want to paint them all.
Had to drive 3 1/2 hours one way to get it.

Hello Forum friends,
My wife and I had a nice 4 hour ride to have lunch. Thankfully the ride to lunch was only 45 minutes, but the ride home was much longer since it was a nice, pleasant day after so much heat.
It's been a month since I have ridden because of some back issues. I really don't know what happened, but if I twisted or moved wrong, I was on the floor in pain.
Several back X-rays to show nothing was wrong with the fusions I have, and after some serious PT, I am back to doing mostly whatever I want. I say mostly cause the wife has other ideas. 😢 But I am riding again and hope to get the trike out soon.
We need to meet up some weekend for a meet and eat, maybe get @Ky. Ridertoo. We’re the only members in this area active on the site.

Haven’t used one on the bike but they’re very popular around here on fishing boats. (Deep cycle)

5amp fuse/circuit. I cut the plug off to wire in my Mic-Mutes.

Well I guess an option is an aftermarket extended warranty if your that worried about things. I get calls every week my vehicle warranty is about to expire on my 2012 Ram with 130k on it. Seriously if its a 21 and you put 12k a year on it, I would think your at least 2-3 years from any kind of problems.
Yeah I get those calls too, I trust them about as much as I trust the software that stops those calls🤣. I just considered trading before the warranty expires, the value drops faster after the warranty ends. The amount of technology in todays trucks worries me.

I’ve always been a Chevy guy and though I haven’t always bought new all my new ones were Chevy. I bought a new ‘21 Silverado in March of ‘21, the bumper to bumper is about up so I considered trading while it still has value. While the trade in offers were respectable the price of new has increased over 33% in 28 months on comparable trucks. I have a 2.1% interest on mine and they’re talking 7-9% now with excellent credit. Put those together and with 22% down my payment would go up 50%. I don’t know if this a push to go electric or what but I guess I’ll drive the wheels off what I’ve got. Depressing to be old enough to remember my first new full size single cab short bed set me back a whopping $12k.

Then again I may decide to retire next year
I highly recommend it. I’ve been so busy since retirement I don’t know how I had time for two jobs all those years.

Make sure the oil isn’t mixed with gas. They either way overfilled it or the carb floats are sticking and filling the crankcase with gas.
Read the oil level with bike standing straight up, not on the stand. -

Well, I would be there but I’d have to leave Tuesday to get there. 🤣

Took my '05 RSTD for a rip with Granddaughter.
Just replaced clutch with help from skydoc_17.
Really hooks up now. Way better giddy up and go from stop. No more slipping.
This site has been great. Just became subscribed member.
Are there members from Manitoba here? How would I find out besides asking here?
Cheers

I would start with a good locksmith. We have one here that I have taken worn out keys to and he “reads” the key and makes a new one. Always work in the old cars I took him.
