no low beam

It monitors the lighting. In the case of the head light it lets the rider know that the head light needs replacing and switches over to another circut for the high beam. That's if there are no cold solder joints in the CMU, which is generally the case in 99.9% on the time. Just like the CLASS system board. The bikes get old and aren't going to last forever without maintenence... Just like us... Vibration and age will take a toll.... -

Like I previously posted 3M 5200 will stick to anything, remain pliable, and is bullet proof. We use it to mount deck hardware on boat decks. Just make sure you have the part where you want it...'cause once it sets you ain't gonna move it later on. As far as putting an aluminum ply on a sheet of plywood I'd run a bead around the edge and a few dots around the middle surface. It won't move. I'd also use it to caulk the seams. There isn't a product on the market that will do as good of a job............

Follow the link I just posted..... OK for some reason the link doesn't work as advertised... It will take you to the main tech board. Do a search for CMS... their CMU... and it should come up. -

My '83 had the same problem, and I planed on resoldering the CMU, but I picked up a mint dash and swapped the whole dash out. Everything worked great afterwards.... I'm positive the CMU needed to be fixed. The link above is off the other Venture board. http://www.venturers.org/Tech_Library/index.php?action=article&cat_id=001007&id=249 -
My late wife and brothers-in-law were Goose Brats. Great bunch of 'kids'. I actually enjoyed her high school reunions more than my own... Have a great trip....

Front Brakes still soft after bleeding
Condor replied to alta55rsv's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Go invest in some Speed-Bleeders. You'll be happy you did, and the next time you bleed the brakes it'll be a piece of cake. Don't forget to replace the rear brake and clutch valves as well..... -
It's been a while since I laughed this much the first thing in the morning. Every time I looked at this pic I have to chuckle..... Look at those two guys looking at each other. http://images.politico.com/global/2012/09/biden_bikers_605_ap.jpg Cruisers Diner in Seaman, Ohio

If you have a standard Venture it's for airing up the front forks. There's also a bleeder for the brakes in there, but it isn't a schrader valve.....

Fork Brace Torque Specs
Condor replied to cabreco's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
15 ftlbs sounds about right. Ya gotta be carefull to not snug them down too much. You're dealing with an 8mm Stainless fastener in aluminum threads with a lot of side torque applied to them when riding. You don't want to rip the threads out of that fork.... The 6mm cap screws that hold the side covers on the engine call for 10 ftlbs. -
That's a motley crew if there ever was one.....

New Issue on my 83'
Condor replied to ActionJax's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Corroded kill switch.... funky side stand switch... loose neutral safety switch.... When trying to isolate an intermitant problem, don't wiggle a bunch of stuff before seeing if the problem goes away.... One at a time.... -
Just a question. Where the H does the $5 bucks go??? The SAF fund?? Way back in the beginning, before there were any supporting members, the dropped bike kitty was a neat way to raise some cash, along with personal donations, to offset some of the out of pocket expenses Don incurred maintaining this board. Now with all the supporting members I don't think it's really needed any longer. Just the embarrassment of dropping your bike should be enough.... unless of course you like to pay penance. I don't...

Keep the plastic. Toss the interior and any bent chrome pieces....

Cool campground.... I bet watching that tide roll in and out can be very interesting. Wonder what the speed of the flow is??

I just love it when someone posts that they are having difficulty picking a bike up, and everyone chimes in with the butt under the seat technique.... Especially when a 5'6" 130# rider says it's a piece of cake..... Well guess what... For us horizontally challenged riders it ain't so easy. It's harder for us to get our butts under the seat because we have more leg to fold up, and when we do it's a bytch to get out of the deep knee bend. So the technique does work, but for a few of us it's still a PITA. Size does matter.... I love to see a video of a 6'6" rider with a few extra pounds on him lift an 800# bike up on it's feet....

You might try Hellwigs. One thing to consider is the Ranger will ride like a brick with the higher weight rated springs. With the Hellwigs your ride will stay the same....
