[Dashboard computer Display looks burnt ?]

Hi,  Has anyone had  what appears to be a   burnt computer screen, right where the fuel guage display is ? Seems to  move depending on the angle  that I look at it.

Is there a solution beyond replacing ?

[Cruise control function, removal of AF/FM/CB/CLASS.]

I have  the CB and the cassette deck removed..  Radio still works, and no issues with the  cruise.  I installed  a couple of 12 volt plugs in the spot the cassette was in and use the cb spot for a switch to turn on the class system when I need to use it.

[Progressive Springs and oil have arrived!]

In Canada I found them at Fortnine in Montreal so I did not have to worry about additional taxes and duty and delay at the border - they came within a week by Canada Post - no charge for the shipping and the price was fairly equivalent to US msrp converted

 

Thanks.. found them there !

[Working Class controller Needed !!]

Thanks.. It seems when i move the wiring around at the wiring harness, I can get it to fire up and set the pressures.. not sure if it's the pressure on the pins, contact at the pins or a wiring issue...

 

Ken

[Working Class controller Needed !!]

[Thermo Switch change SUCCESS]

Thats the one. I just cut the wires and spliced them into the stock wires.

[Thermo Switch change SUCCESS]

MY 86 Venture radiator fan was coming on at a hot temperature ( stock), which I think at 220 F was too high. I got the Napa part FS-147 and installed on the weekend. Now it comes on a lot earlier.. I like it.

 

Just a note if you do this .. the o ring that comes with the new thermo switch does not work.. It kept squishing out when i tightened. I carefully removed the o rink seal off the old, stock thermo switch and used it and no leaks.

 

Bike, while moving, keeps temp guage at just under 1/3.. prior to this change, stopped in traffic, gauge would climb to just over 2/3 before fan would come on.. Now it engages just over 1/2

 

FYI

[Hand Grip Length]

Thanks..

[Hand Grip Length]

thanks for your input.. but how long is a normal grip for this bike.. ? I have read that goldwing grips are the right ones as well.. Anyone else ??

 

Ken

[Hand Grip Length]

Looking for some help.. Kuryaken said their Universal Thresher Grips would work on my 1986 Venture Royale, 7/8 inch size.. Part Number 5950. I got them today but they seem to be almost 1 inch too short at 5 inches in length.. My throttle sleeve on the bike appears to be just about 6 inches.

 

Anyone encountered the same or have a solution or alternative>?

 

Thanks

[Class Ciontroller]

Thanks Casey.. Lower bearing is now reinstalled, let the fun begin! The top bearing was quite notchy, so there should be a big improvement.. doing the front wheel bearings as well while it is apart.
