    Downloadable manuals are available here. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3384 Check your sight glass on the side of the engine. You may be low on engine oil. Level should be between the top and bottom lines.

    Condor replied to SaltyDawg's topic in Watering Hole

    Nope... Just a real bad case of an insecurity complex...

    My '83 used to run just under the red line in hot weather. About half way during the winter. Anytime the motor is running, and there's no air flow thru the radiator it gets hot. 'Specially after a run on the slab and then sitting at the freeway exit. I did a complete flush of the system, and now the needle doesn't climb quite as quickly as it did in the past. Used he special GM orange coolant and Blue Ice water wetter....just because. It'll still run the needle up in the extremes, but with the temps running around 85° the needle will be a little above horizontal. Also it doesn't climb as quickly as it did before.

    If you want to replace the OEM they appear on Ebay from time to time. Otherwise I sure other board members will chime in with a few suggestions on aftermarkets....

    TXVenture is riding a 1stGen. They take 71psi max in the rear. They're built tuffer than a 2ndGen....

    Not only will the recoil reducer keep from beating your shoulder to a pulp, and your cheek from getting a razzberry. But it'll reduce the muzzle jump and keep the shooter on target better. More doubles and triples... Nice looking gun Tom. Back in the day Bernelli's were a cheap Italian import...right along with RayBan Sunglasses. Hooda thunk??

    I think the only reason for the direction arrows are to install the restrictor closer to the manifold. The Carb Tune instructions state the same thing. Maybe it keeps the hose from colapsing do to heavy pulses??? I've never seen the vacuum taken off the manifold other than #2. The '83's pull pre-butterfly vacuum and I don't think there's a difference in the boost sensor, but there is in the TCI and how it responds to the signal.

    OK, left the weight on, filled the tire with Ride-on, walked over to the garage to put the air hose away, and tweeked my back... Grrrr!!! I just popped 800 mg of motrin and will gut out the 3-4 miles suggested to spread the goo out. It never ends.....

    Ya know, I really have to hand it to youse guys. I can't just jump on a bike and take it for a test ride. For some reason I need to work into it before I feel comfortable enough to find out what any bike will do.

    That's another reason they're not doing well. Preconcieved ideas. It doesn't take long to ask, and I bet they never heard of impulse buying either.... I'd still give 'm the boot.... In the current economic climate there's an old saying that rings true, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going". Around here the unemployed is 7%+, but that means there are 93% of the people that still are working... Some of them even have a few bucks to spend.....

    As I understand it the stuff continues to finetune the balance throughout the life of the tire, but what would happen if one of the weights came off?? Would the weight difference be more than the stuff could handle??? Or would it compensate??? Would it be better to start from zero to avoid that possibility? Or is the stuff only capable of finetuning, and not capable of compensating for a heavier half ounce out of balance??

    Glad you got it taken care of Don....

    I got a question. When the preview window shows, is there a timer some where that can be set to give us more time to read the dang thing. I'd like to see it open forever.... It must be a control on the site. When on Netflix the the windows stay open as long as you're hovering over the discription.... On VRO it doesn't last long enough to read some of the longer posts.

    I'm about ready to dump a bottle of Ride On in the Avon on the front of the '83. My question is... Should I remove all the balancing weights and let Ride on do it's balancing act, or leave the weights on and probably get the same results?? It should work either way, but I thought I'd ask your opinion....

    I have one used super brace, and a couple of new group buy 'Condor' braces available if you're interested??
  18. Condor
    Yes, it's the corrrect address. It's worked for everyone else, and I haven't modified it in any way since first posted. The funds are in US Dollars.
  19. Condor
    That woulda been my guess...

    I stopped by a local Victory dealer a couple of days ago because of an ad in the paper stating all 2006,07, and '08's at cost plus fees. Thought I'd see what they were giving away. Well I walked in and looked at just about every bike... OK every bike....Victory, Triumph, Aprilla in the joint, for over 20 minutes, and not once did an employee walk up and ask if he could be of service. Since I was in the neighborhood I thought I might as well check what's new at the Kawi-Suzuki down the street. Same thing. Had a couple of parts to pick up at the Yamaha dealer and while I was in the place 2 different employee's came over to lend a hand as I kicked tires. I'f I had anything to do with the help at the Kawi or Vic dealer I'da fired their a$$es.... No wonder their sales are lacking....

    OK......

    Only thing I put on the rack are jackets and lighter stuff. I ride one up everywhere so a duffle with clothing fits great in the passenger seat. MOF it makes for a great back rest. Trunk and saddles are filled with everyday do-dads. Spare tire..extra motor..coolant..tools...granola bars... water.

    I was going to suggest another way, but then deleted the message.....

    I thought that's what I just said in my last post?? This is a group buy that we started a couple of months ago and we haven't received the mufflers yet. At no time did I ever indicate that they were in stock, and ready to be shipped. IF you still want a set I'll need a payment via Paypal for $235 (Canada).
  25. Condor
    The group has been patiently waiting for about 2 months. Me thinks you need to go back to the first post and read about everything that's been going on. We went thru the same thing with the last group buy. MAC builds to order for our 1stGen mufflers because there's so little demand. We cleaned out their existing stock the first go around. The second group had to be built to order. Rather than stick my neck out for a couple of grand I need to have most of the sets paid for in advance. When completed they are shipped to me free and I mail them out from here. So I guess there's a little misunderstanding. I don't have anything presently to ship you. I should in a couple of weeks. If that throws a wrench into your plans, and you'd like to go a different direction, that's no problem. If you'd like to wait, I'll need a payment via paypal for the amount stated in the first post in this thread.
