when i went down in july.....the outer and inner fairing, and everything inside the fairing, and headlight were smashed and totally destroyed.....my F4 windshield had four hugh gashes on it.....but it did not break......even at the mounting tabs.....

myminpins look up new madrid fault.......
-
yeh...........thanks for everyone's input....
-
gray ghost i have progressive also.......they asked for accessories....looks like they did well by you........from what little info i could dig up.....they're offer seemed good..........i have no ammo to prove that their offer should be higher........

cecdoo thanks...i was hoping someone possible could...and, of course someone who might know the bike well enough to possibly and quickly find out what the power problem is............ i live in new cumberland..near harrisburg....however, here is the latest status... the ins. says they'll give me a check for $11,600...i think more than fair........and if i want, they'll give me a salvage price and let me buy back the bike......but if i do that, then i have a used bike with a salvage title, so resale goes down the drain, warranty goes out the door.....and depending on the salvage price, i could spend more on parts that the remainder of the check will cover...... and that's if nothing frame wise is bent......plus, they're picking up the bike on mon. ...so....i have little time to make choices...and too many unknowns.....so.....i think i'll let the ins have it......sad to get a bike where you want it and a screw up like this happens..........wish i could get my high output stator out and my "g" basket..........
-
yep.......if i could get the bike started....and someone to ride it......i'd know if anything wasn't lined up...
-
thanks from what i and a few other riders see, the frame, forks are not bent.....the inner/outer fairings are trashed as are the smaller tube structures inside the fairing......the rt lower fairing, saddle bag and lid, trunk lid, crash bars, need replacing...these items aren't bent or broken, just heavily scratched....even the windshield isn't broken, just scratched......the bike shows no power when turning key on......fuses and battery are good....so something is going on there......with all the wiring behind the fairing, hopefully something is just loose my prob is do i buy the bike back, by all the parts.....only to find there is a frame/fork prob........i want to have some one ride it right now to confirm....but i can't.....

thanks....

i don't remeber exactly why i went down, as i don't remember the details... but i was returning from a little dinner ride for me on the 19th about 7:45 pm...the bike went down as i was approaching the on ramp for I-83 south, a rt hand turn off of 13 th st., a place i am totally familiar with......there is a triangular concrete island that lets you turn rt or left. i have the yield.....i hit this island, so it appears, on my rt side....no witnesses.....i musta either put my rt leg down or it rammed into the curb or somehow the bike fell on it... either way, tibia and fibia broken just below the knee.....the rt side roll bars are not bent , but i do have the mod for the fronts......i was in no hurry and don't remember hav ing to yield to anyone....but i either had some gravel i didn't see or locked the rear up....either way, my bad....i haven't read the police report yet
-
i know i can sit here and do this myself , but a double bone fracture below the rt knee makes it hard to sit here long...so...asking for some help.........what is a fair value for the insurance to offer me for a totaled ( not really that bad but parts exceed their (ins.) value) 07 venture not including accessories. 22,000 miles, purchased new by me........... and how would a buy back for me work....that's also being offered...would that mean the bike is under a salvaged title ?
-
goose not to hi -jack a thread..but......what are the /your signs of bad handling on a bike with tire pressures too high.....
-
sandbagger i use the max cold inflation pressure...any tire on any bike will be safe using tha tire manufacturer's rating......i want to mention this also since you bring up people that say the manual recommendations trump the tire manufacturers.......if you want to follow the bike manual, you'll see that the avon is not approved for the venture. nor is the E3, etc..the only tires approved are dunlop 404 and bridgestone 705/702......so.....what does someone do now if they are a bike manual follower to the letter..........i choose common sense.....also, that's from my 07 manual.........i assume your 2000 is the same, maybe not...
-
sheeez!.....holy hanna!.....

same here

you can take heat shrink tubing and put it on the wires where they come through the block...this makes a snug fit....use the sealant also as stated before...i've had no seepage or leaks .....you could probably remove the cloth covering where you put the heat shrink tubing and that would prevent any wicking...
-
i don't know how much time you have, but if you're going to I-40 from vegas you should check out hitting Rt.66 through Oatman, az. and then continuing Rt.66 through williams,az. first, ......then pick up I-40...

"that's right ! "

when i was in 7th grade in shreveport, la.....they were trying to get rid of fire ants......so they started an aerial "bombardment" program using , i think it was called, mirex........and they used B-17's....that..was awsome...

when i was 2, i'd go across the street and sit in the neighbor's back yard and watch the stearmans dust the cotton field behind the houses..our neighborhood was at the city limits in 1955 in louisiana......couldn't get enough of it.....hope this does show up on history here...

i've got a stebel horn...so when i'm passing a car that someone is texting or talking in and they've exhibited some erratic driving ....i give 'em a long blast........

i raised three of my sons by myself starting when the oldest was 12...the other 2 were 11 and 10...the two oldest were pa. national guard, airborn.....the oldest did 9 months in bosnia.....the second did 9 months in ramadi,iraq, survived two ied blasts within 10 mins of each other....i got the call from him in the hospital...he was fine.....but when i heard his voice on the call, my heart skipped a couple of beats......my third one is full time army, already has two deployments under his belt in iraq....his third is scheduled for april, 2012 missionary rider pretty much says it all.....you raise 'em to be independent, responsible, and proud.......and so far, that's what i've seen.......you have to let them go.......but, they are always your "kids"......so.....i just wanted to let you know, your not alone ....and i know how you feel..........hope this helps....

"I" basket question
jlh3rd replied to david Taylor's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
the "I" basket helped my 07... -
everything said above is true.........but, you need to run the motor till it quits....then if/when it does not start...check for spark.......then ,pull your fuel line. get yourself a good container, crank the motor a few times and see if the fuel is flowing like it should......better yet would be to check your fuel pressure with a gauge...........i do think your problem is electrical however............

after searching...i can't find anything for on road use.......everything seems to be for off road and not in our rim sizes
