    Sometimes the fuse blows from overloading it,,, and sometimes it blows just to get you thinking and worrying over it. So every once in a while, take it out of there, hold it tight, caress it a little, just to let it know that you haven't forgotton,,, and you think women are the only ones needing attention?

    Depends on the unit, but if it the OEM on the 87, they are different.

    I've ridden those routes,,, nice places to visit and good routes, but the inbetween and local roads have a lot more to offer for small groups, or lone riders.

    Good for you, the first while it's always a worry, so if the first week comes out clean, it sets the confidence level. Now don't go worrying too much about the bad weeks, there'll be lots of them, so be prepared, but don't get down hearted.

    In my opinion, and only mine, I would shug those sterring head bearings a bit more,,, doesn't take much, just a few degrees, but may make a world of difference. After all, there will be a next time or even if there isn't there may be some other, GOOD, reason to let loose, and if she will do it, then you may well take her there, and you want to be as safe as possible.

    You've got to use plainer language for Brad, other wise he has to get Naugh-T involved.

    Check those carb boots to make sure they are seated all the way around, and did you make sure the little O-rings were in place when you did the diaphrams?, and how did you plug the wholes for the YICS.

    i put mine right on top of the airbox, real close to the battery so to clear the cover. Seems to work alright, I know some are fuzzie as to where they work, but so far I've heard no complaints,,,, maybe the music is tooo loud,,,

    Check the top ends of the forks, if I have it right for the 2nd gens they should be the same as on the 1st gens,,,,,and that is that the top of the forks should be level with the top member of the triple tree. If you didn't tighten something well enough then the fork may have pushed through the triple tree and so give you the lean you mention.

    Just spoke to Beverly at the Comfort Inn, Elyria OH, 440.324.7676. She says that she will have rooms for Venture Riders for June 19 2010, for $62.95 + taxes, for double queen, and comes with a free hot breakfast. Don't know if anyone has got this rate yet, but all you need to do is the tell her that you belong to the Venture Riders and you'll be getting that rate. Oh and she loves Motor Cycles,,,,,,,ya,,,,, Harleys, can you imagine.

    Ok,, now where do I get me one of those type wrenches?

    Just make sure that everything is clean when it goes together. There is no liquids to worry about unless you go deeper than you need to. A little WD40 or such helps things slide together, but cleanliness is holiness. And wait til you have the carbs seated before you go tightening up the boots, they are directionally challenged so need to twist in their sockets a little from time to time as they go together.

    Hi Bill and Welcome: 83 to 93 are considered 1st gens 83 to 85 are Mrk I's and 86 to 93 are Mrk II's 83 and 84 are the same except for color 85 is a stand alone with a larger trunk, best color, fastest, nicest and it's real pretty. 86 to 93 are more or less all the same except for color with the trunk becomeing a little larger and larger sadle bags that don't come off easy like the Mrk I's 83 to 85 have the 1200 cc engine which is faster but does have a 2nd gear issue after about 60,000 miles. This was corrected mid 85. That's the short of it, but you will learn a whole lot more about color, speed and a whole host of other BS input. Carl

    Marca knows what happens when I fire up old Brutus,,,,, 16" Holiday\Pioneer chain saw. She runs and hides everything that is precious to her, and then runs for cover.
