This happened to me today. Just got a 83 venture 1200 . Tuesday 3/10/20. First time to ride it. Only problem was 2gear. y'all told me that's normal. Skip 2gear.. going to watch grandkids across town. Caught the light with a ahead of me. Pull the clutch. all good just slowly rolling. Then bike jumped.no clutch. Lucky to have a out. Missed the car& curb. Had to push it up a steep driveway. Been trying to follow since noon today.

I'm trying to post the picture of the bike and do a profile. I'm doing some thing wrong. Y'all are a great help . I love the older bike. I will be joining. I loaded picture don't know where.

Ok, venture..had to fix the side stand first. since he ran battery cables to the trunk. I used a car battery. Jumped it. took a few minutes to start. Let it warm up. Road it down the street and back .. skipped second had power in upper Also had white smoke coming from the center drain hoses, temp almost red

Hope I'm doing this right.. to start what size battery for it.he ran cable to the trunk of bike.. warning light flashing. A link to read code. Brb unloading now
