    The 2nd gear fix, is the same components, as was put into the Vmax & probably the Mk2 (1300). That is, after they figured out where they screwed up, in the first place. No you didn't throw $400 away, a lot will interchange just fine, compared to a 2nd gen engine.

    Slightly more mass to move internally (larger engine pistons), they played with the carbs & ignition systems some. The de-tuning begins with the Mk2 & even more with the 2nd gen. If you haven't noticed, the Vmax was based on the Venture 1200 engine, stayed at 1200 for over 20 years, did not change it over to 1300, yet they could have done it. Now if you really want that to fly, put a Vmax motor into it.

    SeaFoam?

    NAPA is usually a good source, look at bottom of this page for more Seafoam threads.

    Progressive suspension, for the fork springs & a replacement rear shock. There will be other makes too, I think.

    Nope, you will not find it there, but you will find the compressor for the CLASS, below the trunk mount, under a black cover. Other work to be done there at a later time (drying out the dessicant). The CB is in the right fairing & there is a cable that connects it to the amp in the left fairing.

    Scroll further down, towards bottom of this page for similar threads, it will give you ideas on what to check.

    I had no problem getting a printout on mine, only took a couple of minute at the service desk...... Yeah they would probably laugh, at a free fix, but the bike most likely had it done, as well as brake pads changed under warranty.

    But with the eyes open & being able to comprehend what is written............ But if your eyesight is going, maybe time to move to something slower, like a 2nd gen.

    I handed out a couple cards on my way back, one in Bay City, one at a fuel stop on hwy 11, after leaving Regina. Aside from the one I wrote a note to Squid & left on his door.

    It can be checked by vin, at a dealer to see what fixes has been done. If an affected bike has not been done, try it, nothing really to lose, cost wise.

    How about just soaking in water, peeling a little off at a time.

    It was a tech bulletin item with a new stator also installed. It was performed, as a warranty fix, no matter if bike was still under warranty or not. All bikes in affected year(s), was to be done.

    Maybe look in your creek crossing area. As that may put stress on, that it was not designed for.

    I saved the info on the CMS Fix as a PDF, it is in this thread....... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?p=220464#post220464

    I noticed your temp guage was reading low (but not sitting on the peg), maybe cleaning the connection to the sensor will help. Also check the coolant level, you may be low, the sensor needs to be in coolant to function properly.

    The locks on the front of the bags hold them in place, can be very stiff if not used & lubed. If the locks will not rotate, you can open the bag & remove the 2 screws that fasten the lock to each bag, then side the bag to the back for removal. If you need to do this, service the locks, so they will function........

    The sensor, manifold & compressor is located under your rear trunk mounting rack. There is a plastic cover above it & the rear fender below it.

    Gunboats battery was only about 6 months old too..... Try with a borrowed battery & see what the readings are, as this is similar to gunboat's, until Squid tried his battery on the scoot.

    I had changed out the flex lines to, the SS Braided ones, big difference in brake performance. The Rear can be a real PITA to puge all the air out of though. Rick H at Buckeye Performance is the one to contact for them. http://www.buckeyeperformance.com/p04.htm

    That is the Hawaii Mars, as it has the red painted tail. I have seen one (can't remember tail colour) loading in the Esquimalt harbour, for a fire in the greater Victoria area.

    Need more details first......... BTW I'm back in Wainwright, rode back through a thunderstom in the area.
