Unless I end up messin' something else up again, I'll be there Saturday. The plan is to keep going on Sunday up into Idaho for my grandsons wedding the following Saturday....

An '86 will not fit on an 8' trailer with a ramp gate. Generally folks buy or rent a 5'x10' to trailer the scoot.

Here's another spin on the red light problem. What was the outside temp when you were riding. We're just getting into spring, and down under it might be late summer...??? I know mine will run high on the guage when it's 90+ degs. out.. Just a thought??

Thanks for looking Stu. The date tag is on the top of the battery and it has the serial number and right under that a 4 digit number. 1007 would be the month and year. Now my question is if the dealer quoted you 10/09 then he's going off the manufaturing date for warantee purposes....not when the battery was put into service. Traditionally battery warantees are from the sold date, or when they are put into service, and on your's, 2 years should have been 'til April 2010. Heck, a battery could go out of warantee sitting on the shelf if they consider the manufacturing date as the start of warantee. I wonder if that's why the distributor was stonewalling me on the date??? Not a good situation....

Nah.... That was an easy listening jazz station on the radio. Baffles sound like heavy metal.... Left the radio on when recording, and the auto volume level kicked in when I rev'd it up. Sounded more realistic that way .....

I couldn't find the file here on the board, so I'll try to up load it again. And I'd really like to hear what the Jardines sound like if anyone has something they can post???

I'd really be interested in the manufacturing date on the battery??? Also was it a standard or metal jacket??

For all you 1stGen owners that are planning...or thinking about going the aftermarket route, I'll be starting a MAC Muffler group buy in a couple of weeks. We've done this a couple of times in the past, and it's been a good experience for everyone.

Hey Cliff, I totally understand, and don't blame you a bit. I'll get your refund on it's way.

Fork Oil - Level or Quantity
Condor replied to Squeeze's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Squeeze. I thought I might toss in a couple of comments, good or bad, just because. When putting 409ml in the fork tube and not getting anywhere near the 5.5" perhaps it's because it's not really needed. I don't know about the other bikes, but with the class system or 2ndGen manual pressure system, pressures applied to the air chamber may limit compression, and rebound and dampening might be more of an issue. And the larger air chamber might be done to give a greater amount of adjustment to fork air pressures. Just my warped thinking kicking in?????? -
That's why I suspect that manufacturing might be running into problems. Or they have a very large military contract to fill??? At first it was May, and now everyone's quoting June... I found this website while googling AGM Battery, and they have several AGM batteries listed in different price ranges. The PC680 Odyssey's shipping weight is 17.5 pounds. There are a couple of AGM's in the Odyssey price range that weigh right at 17#. I'm wondering if they might be similar in design. Anyway for those of you that REALLY need to replace your batt it might be an alternative. PowerSportBattery

Class system woes

Yeah that^^. The class would give you a reading until you tell it what to read... -
Yep it's the same one Cindy. $104 vs $117 to the door. Just make sure they have them in stock. I'm wondering if there's something going on with manufacturing?? Ebay usually has quite a few listed, but at least on the PC680, there hasn't been a thing lately. I totally understand about the time element. I'll go ahead and refund your paypal payment. Very sorry... I sent off my bad PC680MJ this morning, and we see what happens. I'll tell 'm I used it as a back up for my computor, and was always kept on a battery maintainer...

Doing good Eck... for an OF... I guess it might be prudent to check out the WOOT comments on the thing. Also a Google would probably help. I personally wouldn't buy one until I knew for sure......

There are a couple of members who have one JB. I put out the same request about 2 months ago and had several members reply. I never took them up on their offers, because I decided to weld what I had back up.

To get a better pic with strong background light force the flash on the camera. There's no need to get the bike in the sunlight. Just turn the flash on full time.

Fork Brace List
Condor replied to Condor's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Just trying to keep everybody in the loop. The manufacturer is planning on a completion date of May 3rd for the braces. So we should be looking at an arrival date here sometime the following week. Then I'll start to get them packed and shipped. I'll probably be the weak link in the whole shipping process trying to get 50 braces packed up, labled, and out the door, so hang in there. The wheels of progress are turning.... -
Interesting pics. Deltarat came over about a month ago to fix his sidestand. It failed in the bank parking lot. After looking at it we found the thru bolt had snapped off. I had a spare and when he tried to screw it in it wouldn't start. Pulled the stand off and found the yoke had bent... not broke just bent. We put another stand on and he was good to go. Latter on I put the bad stand in the vice squashed it back into position. No cracks anywhere. Deltarat has an '89 and I'm wondering if Yamaha got away from the cast iron in the early models, and went investment in the later years??

Dave... Here's a pic of how it goes on. Once you have it on you can see how it works..
