    Nothin like a good ol' Venture Round-Up to motivate a guy.

    Many thanks Randy. I PM'd you my address. Maybe I'll get this bike beat into submission yet...

    Pulled the covers off the '91 to get to the #4 carb and it's non--reactive diaphragm assembly to see why it's not working. Sad to say I pulled out what looked to be a brand new diaphragm, and whoever installed the thing didn't make sure the lip bead was seated in the groove properly and crushed the bead when they screwed down the cover, and then left it that way. It's been sitting in there for lord knows how long and the lip has been deformed to the point where it will no longer seal. I did pull out a used one that had a half dozen micro holes in it, gave it a shot of Plasti--Dip, and got the slide to start working, but not good enough to match the movement of the other 3. So, I trying to get this bike preped for Cody in two weeks, and I need one good assembly with no holes....fast. Anyone have a good used spare I could buy and they could priority mail it to me??

    The reason my '83 speedo made noise is it had loosened up at the back where the cable attached. Thought it was dry, but all it needed was to be tightened up. You might give that a try first.

    Click on the pic for the whole story. It's not photoshopped, and it's not a kit. Interesting story....

    I heard the magnets excited the molecules when taped to the gas line in a polar opposite position. And there is no such thing as area 51.....

    I worked for a farm supply back then. It was amazing how many cow magnets I sold to the dealers.... :rotf:

    Well I think the leak has a cork in it. After tightening down the gear indicator sender, and afterwards it leaking so much it looked like a mosquito abatement control truck, the culprit seemed to be the sender. So Brian sent down the cut-away middle gear cover, and I bought another sender off Ebay for a couple of bucks. Glad I did. Everyone kept posting about an 'O' ring on the back side of the sender plate. I got the impression the 'O' ring layed flat against the block between the plastic plate. It doesn't. The plate actually has a raised portion that the ring fit's around and is inserted into a recess in the block. Anyway, to make a long story a bit longer, Kurt got in there and changed out the ring and wa-la, no more leak... or smoke. The bike still marks it's spot from another very slight drip up front, but I can live with that. Time to start tweeking things in time for Cody.

    Looks like nothing more than a capacitor that expands CCa's of the battery. Will it improve gas milage, and increase power? It might if the battery being used is old and marginal, but with the advent of high CCa AGM's I doubt it would do much good.

    E1 is basically a connector problem. Clean and check the contacts.

    I'd go ahead and paint it, number 3 or not. I don't see the MM's becoming a true collectors bike for a very long time, and even then you'd probably do better putting your money into a better performing investment. Besides, a black MM would really be a rarity in about 50 years. Just think you can mess with everyone's mind... BTW the black with a slight tint of blue metal flake actually exists and is a '91VR color....

    Don't get the cart before the horse Dan. Get a final price figured out, and then start collecting the money... and then place the order. I'm still good for 2 ea. Let me know and I'll Paypal....

    $295 total to your front door via UPS ground. Funds via Paypal to jchalais@cast-aways.com. Let me know if you're interested.

    Yep. Same box. It falls under International Priority. When you make up a label there is a 'country' box at the top on the frame. On something this small the requirements for customs forms are by-passed. If you pay online via CC they discount the total by about $.30 cents, and delivery conformation is free. Piece of cake..!!!!

    Ebay!!! Can't believe I forgot about Ebay....

    Dan, you can use the same small flat rate box for Canadian mailings. Order the free boxes online in 25 box packs. When you're figuring paypal pricing don't forget to add $1.50 to the total price for paypal fees. If you pay and print labels online it works out to a little less than $5 bucks for US, and $10 bucks Canadian.

    Depends on my riding conditiions. I've riden 100 miles up in the Sierra twisties and only taken on 2 gallons. I've riden 150 miles out on the slab and take on 3.5 to 3.8 gallons. 'Bout 38mpg.

    That happens. If you compressed the pistons before bleeding it takes a while before the caliper gets 'pumped up' again. Bleed the front brake until you get pedal, and then rebleed the rear caliper and pump the 'H' out of the pedal. Hopefully you'll get pedal again. Once you do get pedal, bleed the lines again. The other possibility is the portioning valve is plugged. It doesn't take much crud to keep fluid from getting to the back caliper. Gotta love those speed bleeders.... Gotta remember to read all posts 3 times before offering advice....

    My '83 had the bump-clunk when I first bought it. Installed progressives and the clunk disappeared. 25 y.o. OEM fork springs don't offer a lot of resistance.
