Cancer may win this battle.
Condor replied to silverdeer0454's topic in Inspirational, Motivational, Prayer Requests, Etc.
We lost my wife's father to lung cancer. He was a smoker. 7 years later we lost her mom to the same type cancer and she never smoked a day in her life. Second hand smoke does kill.... Prayers to you, your mom, and your family. -
Final Countdown of Cody Trailer Tickets - 2011
Condor replied to Lone Eagle's topic in Watering Hole
Not only are we getting down to the wire with 11 tickets left, but there are only 13 days left before the gavel falls and the sale is over. Who's going to buy the last ticket?? -
Yep, the views are breath taking, and after July a lot of members are going to be able to say 'Been there... Done that'.... Truly a bucket list ride.

Whazat?? 68f...?? Hey I'm good down to 50.. My ridin' rules are between 50 and 80 and dry.... Left my vents open on the skid lid the last time we went over BearTooth and it was 35f at the top. I dang near froze the tops of my ears off. Couldn't figure out why they hurt so much until the pain started to go away when it warmed up in Red Lodge.. :cody

Slow return to idle; float issue?

Slow return to idle; float issue?
Condor replied to MikeZ06Allen's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I've had the slow idle return on several bikes. Everytime it was a sync problem in that the idle was being controlled by the right side carbs and not #2. It usually happens when a previous owner adjusts the idle by using the sync screw next to #4. It will actually work... sorta.... but it will screw up the sync. The bikes always responded by backing off the rightside carbs, and the #1 carb and starting from scratch with the #2 carb controlling the idle. Afterwards the throttle is responsive and returns quickly to a smooth idle. -
I've been wondering lately on what the road conditions over Beartooth Pass would be like for the Rally in Cody. With all the weather they've been getting, and BT always being dicey, I thought it still might be snowed in. Not so. The highway is actually open thanks the the various agencies responsible for road up keep. It might be a tad cold and it would be a good idea to bring your cold weather gear. It even got a little nippy on top in '09. Here's the site for up-to-date reports. BEERTOOTH Looks like it'll dry out by late July. :cody

Heel - Toe shifter has to go!
Condor replied to Owen's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
You'd have better luck cutting the heel off what you have now. Mint H/T's are very common while the toe shifter is rarer than chicken lips, and are no longer available. And bring $100+ bucks on Ebay when they show up. A little late here... Geeze I didn't absorb the 1stGen part of the post. Shift levers for the 1stGen's are all over the place.... Go get one off Ebay....- 60 replies

Inexpensive whine/chirp fix
Condor replied to remmertb's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Thanks for the input. I've wondered if the clutch baskets were interchangeable, and would cure the whine. I often opined if you could even use the 83-85 basket, and then end up with a 6 spring pressure plate and skip the Barnet conversion.??? -

More info please
Condor replied to Squidley's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I think they are too Brad. I've seen them listed, but just went thru all my saved links and couldn't find them. I'll keep searching. Do you just need a lens.... or?? OK see if something here isn't what you need... http://www.motosport.com/cruiser/category/Cruiser-Parts/Lighting/Accent-Lighting -
New clutch cause this???
Condor replied to Trader's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
How 'bout when you're not riding? There's always a slight difference in the gear train 'noise' when the clutch is engaged, or not, at idle. But also wonder if your getting the noise at higher RPM's on the sidestand with clutch in or out...?? All this does is seperate areas in the clutch-engine-drive train. Helps isolate the source a little better. -
Why don't you ask them if a large drip pan under the bike would work?? They make some very large metal types for cars... I can understand their concern, and they have to draw the line somewhere. Can you emagine what the place would look like if one of these salvers started dismantling a bikes in one of the units and selling them on Ebay...

I've never heard the term 'bundling' before. Years ago in California a person could get double coverage and payouts from two different companies, say from their auto policy and company medical insurance, but they have closed that loop-hole and made it illegal. Years ago I was rear ended and got whip-lash. My auto paid off, and so did my wifes company medical. Didn't expect it, but got it anyway. A little side note on the Geico flaming that's going on here about them quoting cheaper premiums by reducing coverages. Folks have it backwards. Tell them what coverage you want, and then get a quote of the premium for comparison. Don't tell them what your current premium, and ask them to beat it. Of course they will... at the expense of your overall coverage. Just like the company you are with now if you ask them to reduce your premium. I've had excellent service from Geico, but if you're uncomfortable dealing online, then by all means see an agent.

1985 trunk and back rest
Condor replied to rjg1985's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
OK, my apologies.... Hey, can't be right all the time. Good to know. This subject has been discused in the past, where was this info then?? So can I assume that we can put an 85-93 trunk on our 83-84's without a lot of modification???
