Lowering the front forks
Rocket replied to mbrood's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
The trick is the snap ring & air suspension collars, unless you don't want to use the air system. For a 1st gen, the best way would be a new set of aftermarket fork tubes, made 1" (or so) shorter than stock & leave the spring spacers out. The company that can make these, is referred as Forking by Frank, great service too, will build over length or shorter if requested. The only hangup with them is payment options, as they seem to prefer Postal money orders, from Canada. http://www.frankmain.qpg.com/ The other option is to leave the spacer out on the set of progressive springs, with the existing tubes. But that still leaves the slight possibility of bottoming out, with a very hard compression of the front end. -
Gather up your whips & get over there...........:rotf:

Glad you got his attention & back into his lane.......

Perhaps, they were thinking it was added to the oil??? In that useage, yes it needs to be changed, with only a few minutes running time, if I am correct. But for fuel use, no oil change is needed.

I was thinking of a shotgun, with rocksalt loads, that should get their attention............

Yup, slide the false tank forward. Make sure you pull fwd at the front end with one hand, as you do not want to break the mounting tab. I usually have my other hand, pushing, at the front of the filler opening. BTW you sit on top of the gas tank.........

air suspention not workin HELP
Rocket replied to run n bare's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Ok, no error codes......... You may need to dig further into the unit & check / clean the switches. I had done mine last year & improved the performance of a temperamental one. I had used Q tips & rubbing alcohol, to clean things. -
Will an 85 wheel fit an 86?
Rocket replied to GigaWhiskey's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I think the difference, between them, is only the brake rotors. -
Tempting, isn't that right Don. 93 Venture, even provided you with an excuse......... :mo money::rotf:

air suspention not workin HELP
Rocket replied to run n bare's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Ok, that is the power up self test, by sounds of it. Press one of the 2 rectangular buttons to select front or rear, then try the 3 smaller square buttons above for different pressure levels in auto mode (outer square ones in manual mode). The round button is to select auto or manual mode. Play with it & see what happens, you should not get an E (error) code, but if so we have the info to fix most of them. -

That is the wrong place for a non USA member to deal with, for 1 reason shipping $$$$$$. They ship UPS only, by the time UPS cross border fees are added, way too expensive. Sarges46 learned this, the hard way.

The T is in the Tech Bulletin instructions, I have changed mine last year. The smaller line with filter coming out of the left front of the airbox gets cut & connects into the T as well. See attached PDF.
