    Good Tires?

    in Bike Accessories

    Posted

    I have the E-3s on my 03 venture, they handle well and wear good. I will stay with them. I'm on my second set. As far as the noise, it mixes with the other noises and voices in my head so no problem.

    jumps after setting a while

    Hi all, my 03 venture has always jumped when I first put it in gear after sitting over night. The clutch fluid is full, I have "pumped" the clutch before putting it in gear, no change. It is like all the oil is pushed out of the clutch disks and plates while it is sitting for a while. Once I take off, no more problems for the rest of the day. I installed the PCW spring kit and all new disks. Should I be concerned??

    Yup....checked what I was doing a few times, kept thinking I missed something (to easy). The hardest part was removing the old gasket. Now I have to find out about wiring for a trailer.

    Just finnished installing the new clutch in my Venture. New clutch disks and PCW HD spring kit. Whoever did the last job had 3 disks in wrong and the pressure plate not lined up. Not sure if that makes all that much differance but it doesn't jerk when I put it into gear now. The clutch lever isn't much different than it was before. This was an easy install! I HAD to buy new tools to do the job right.....right. Once again thank you all very much for all the info on the clutch.

    What's with the clutch?

    This is great! I have the PCW hd spring kit and new plates. Was getting out of the way of a car and when I twisted the wick, engine reved and took a second to catch. I got out of the way of the car but now the seat has a hole in it ;-). This is the first time to replace clutches in this bike. Do I have to remove the exhaust to get into the clutch? Is there anything I need to watch out for?

    Tell The Truth- Do You Always Wear A Helmet?

    in VR Polls

    Posted

    I never used to wear one. A few years back I decided to start wearing a helmet. Now it is 100%.

    I lost a close friend that got hit by someone crossing lanes to get off the hiway. He was wearing one of the "German war helmets" with the snap clip to hold it on. When he was hit the snap came loose and the helmet took off. Except for the head damage Dick only had brusises. Had he had a good helmet on he would be alive today.

    Wear a good helmet.

    1988 V-Maxfinal drive

    in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)

    Hi all, well I installed the 88 final drive in my 03 Venture and it is great! The 88 does not have the boss for the speedo sensor but it did work. The o-ring sits really close to the curved edge of the housing and I had to use 3 small stainless washers to make up the distance from the housing to the sensor where the screw goes. So far no problems. I did have to use a piece of rebar to hold up the yoke in the drive tube and then put a length of alum bar stock under it to hold it up to get the drive shaft in place. This final drive is much tighter than the stock one I took out (a lot of wear on the stock unit) no more slack and that is nice. Anyway I hope everyone is having a great Christmas.

    After I got the 88 unit for $99 I found a 99 unit for $99, came real close to buying it too.

    I have decided to go to a V-max final drive on my '03

    Venture.

    I have found some but either to much wear or way to expensive. I did come across an '88 final drive in good shape but I don't know if it will fit. Also I am looking to change out the gears and not the whole unit. I haven't done this before and I figure someone here will know. Ya'll have always come through for me.

    Thank you.

    rear tire size for e-3

    in Watering Hole

    Posted

    What is the rear tire size for the Dunlop Elite 3?????? Is it different than the stock? I put the smaller e-3 on the front and I love it. Now it is time for the rear and I am trying to find one on-line (I have access to tire equipment). Thank you in advance, always great advice here. '03 Venture
