Happy Birthday Evan!!!

This link has some great info on how to do it. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?120273-New-LED-passing-lamp-and-headlamp

I have K&N filters and have had a couple different typesof aftermarket mufflers, no need to rejet.

I am sure glad you founded it before it came apart. Earl

Yes you will need to bleed it. I would start at the hose at the M/C first.

Yes, an O ring is required. I would think it would be the same O ring as OEM, but not 100% sure. Earl

Some members have gotten improved slow speed handling by dropping the front end. You can raise the fork tubes 1” in the triple trees. Earl

If you can blow easily through the old filter, it’s probablynot your problem. Earl

If you have a battery with fill caps I would check the fluid level. You can bet it is dry. If you can I would fill it up with water. This may make it last a little longer. Earl

This link will show you the fuel filter and fuel pump. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?76515-2nd-Gen-changing-the-fuel-filter

Praying that your son is ready for help and for you and the family stand strong in love with him.

This is the stator end plug, that's under and in front of the battery and fuel filter.

Praying for you and your brother... Earl

I hope you have a good turn-out and everyone has a good time. Earl

When the dates of Vogel changed it improved my chances ofbeing able to go, but things are not working out. I am still hoping a checkwill come in the mail. Earl

I am sure they have been looking at all the major bikerallies to see what the American riderswere riding. Earl

How does the gear in the rear end look? Earl

First off, let’s hope it was just a onetime thing…. In colder weather, I have had my clutch plates to stick together (not release) when I pull the clutch in. When I would put it in gear I would get a clunk. The clunk was the clutch plates releasing. It wouldn’t happen again until the bike sets for several hours. Not sure this what your bike is doing. It helped my bike whenI changed from 20w50 oil to 15w40 oil. Earl

Yes, 86 and up will enter change. Earl

No, they are in the right bag... Earl

The fuse box you are looking is located behind the left passenger floor board. The diode should be very close to it. Earl

Looks like I am 199. I think I first joined in 2004 or 2005. Earl

My guess would be that the throttle plates in carbs 3 &4 are more open than the ones in 1 & 2. A larger hole in the vacuum passage= less vacuum. If you still have the carbs off, measure the clearance of each throttle plate to carb throat. You can also shine a light from the bottom of carbs and see if one throttle plate is more open than the others. Earl
