Congratulation on the new ride!!!!!!!!! The more you ride it the better you will like it. Earl:thumbsup2:

I am planning to be there 12- 19 of Oct. I normally see 10 to 15 Ventures there each year, but we have never gotten together as a group before. It sure would be nice if we could get to gather for lunch or a ride some times during the week. Each year on Friday, they do a ride to the Family Place for lunch. It would be great if all the Venture Riders coud do that. Earl

If there is no coolant in the oil, I will go with Jerry’s thoughts on maybe a crack in the head. I have seen a crack from an oil pressure point to a water port, when the engine was operated at high RPMs the oil pressure would force oil into the coolant. Earl

Need some spark plug boot help
mm482 replied to a topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Yes, I have used a set of Accels that had about 8K ohms. They have been on my 86 for about 30k miles and doing good. Earl:thumbsup2: -
Have you checked to see if there is coolant in the engine oil? Earl

We are getting 30 to 40 MPH wind gusts and some rain, but it’s not bad at all and I think the worst has passed. Earl

mm482 replied to Duke13's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I was in Sam’s Club last week and they had the Rotella T Syn. 5w40 on sale, three gal box for 27.74. I got 21 gals for less than $10.00 a gal. I have been running Rotella 15w40 for the last 50K, but I will now be running the 5w40 Syn for the next 100K. Earl -

Make sure the brake fluid level is correct. If the master cylinder is too full, the calipers can not release. Earl -
Sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers are sent for you and your family. I pray that during this time you and your family will grow a lot tighter to each other and to the Big Guy. Earl

The 1800 GW gets better MPG than the 1500 GW. I would think a 1900 V4 with fuel injection would do as well as our 1300 with carbs. Earl

Rear wheel needle bearing
mm482 replied to Gearhead's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I washed the bearing out with a can of spray carburetor cleaner. I let it dry and then I repacked it with wheel bearing grease. Earl -
I thought the southern most part of the Blue Ridge Parkway ended in Cherokee NC. You are correct about that. Earl:thumbsup2:

Are you sure you have it on reserve? It sounds like your reserve system is not working. I would pull the tank off of the bike, put it on reserve and drain all the fuel out. I would then remove the petcock and see how much gas was left in the tank. I think you have a bad petcock. Earl
