    Our church is sponsoring a sea to sea bicycle tour. On Aug 25 they plan on leaving St Catherines ON with about 120 cyclists and arriving in Albion NY to finish this leg of their journey. They had arranged to overnight at a school in Albion, but it seems that they can no longer do this due to it being rented out to another group previously. What would be helpful here, if someone can help by finding another location for these folks to shower, sleep etc. in the area. They bring their own tents and food etc, they only would like shower facilities and a place to pitch their tents, more or less. For info on the tour: http://www.crcna.org/pages/sea_front.cfm

    Left side of battery, clutch handle side, between the battery and the faring, clear little box, red wires in and out,and should have extra fuses in the box. Bit of a pain to squeese out of there, and you'll need a phillips to change the fuse. Rubber band holds it together.

    Thanks Rick, and all the rest of you guys. That's the kind of info I was looking for. Rick, do you happen to know how much bigger the holes were for the 1300s?

    Not looking all that good right now, but don't forget, it's a first gen and worth saving. Now how are you doing, a bit stiff I bet, gonna take a little time to heal up I'm sure.

    The simple answer is that the Brass @ Yamaha has lots of stocks in Harley and Honda. Don't want to screw up the retirement package EH?

    Hey Don, I can help out here to make this a full time business. I know it would be a way toooo much to run this site and then have to ride as well, so my idea would be for you to run this site and look after Eileen and the pond, seeing as you know all about computers, and then I could do the hard job of riding out to meet with folks and encourage them for some financial support, which I would send directly to you, to do with as you would see fit, minus a small administration fee, of course. Nuf of that. Where would we be without VentureRider.org?????? IN THE PITS but we wouldn't know it.

    As I read and kept up with this thread, (I didn't get to read all the juicey edited stuff), I felt a general serious love and concern for a fellow rider. Sometimes we get a little over done when that happens, but that's what happens when we get seriously concerned about each other. We also will point blank tell each other off if necessary, and though this may cause some ripple here and there, it goes back to: WE CARE FOR EACH OTHER, and we don't seem to mind getting involved in that way. Thanks guys, it's good to belong here.

    What has me thinking is that the part numbers are different and Flatout wants more money for the later editions. We have a member who would like to get my used ones, which are temporarily repairable, but there is not much sense in sending them to him if they won't do the job.

    If it were the forks seals you would see a lot of oil on the forks because it would push the oil out first, or at least take some oil with it. My guess is still under the trunk rack. It doesn't take that long to check it out.

    Does anyone know or has anyone tried to exchange the diaphrams from the 83-85 carbs to the 86 to 93 carbs. In other words are they interchangable.

    If your brake lights work, it won't be a ground. Maybe both bulbs burned out at once? rare but has happened. Other than that, listen to the connection wizards. Or maybe try moving the fourway switch.

    I/m planning on a tech article on a pump rebuild, but I got to get second gear back together first, and then we'll see. In the mean time, check the fittings at the pump, in the back under the luggage carrier, under the rack. I have found some of those to be loose and cause a problem. Keep us posted and we'll help you out.

    Will enter a plea for mercy for all of you. Keep the faith Bro.

    I like it as well, and sent it to the local paper. People reading it might be more sympathic to us riders.

    Maybe that's why my soul seems to be happier in the summer more so than the winter. Thanks for posting. Amen

    It wouldn't surprise me that when she was done, one of the riders would have bent down, picked her up and gave her a big biker hug and then passed her on to the next one, and when all was said and done, she'd a had 30 BIG BIKER HUGS. 'Course that might have been seen as child abuse or some fool thing, but who would have cared, I know I cared when I read the story.

    I'm with Kit on this one, word for word. Guess he's not all that dumb after all:stirthepot: Opps, I didn't say that did I?????

    Tell us more about the noise. The timing chains run on automatic tighteners, and are not likely the cause. Could be your transmission, When does it do it, just when you have it running on the side stand?

    All I can say is: piterpaterandgetater. Lots of good potential. You've got wheels, handle bars, motor, seat, the rest is purely cosmetic:rotf:.

    What you are looking at are wear marks\holes. Some guys fix them with liquid tape, but you are working with old rubber and in my opinion that is a stop gap fix, will hold for a little while but the problem will come back again. New ones at http://www.flatoutmotorcycles.com/ are about $55.00 ea and if you are doing one, you'll be happy to replace all four.

    I change my plugs every spring, don't even bother to check them. Two springs in a row with a non starting scoot taught me that lesson, saves a lot on batteries as well. The other thing to keep in mind is that it takes more than one priming of the bowls to get the bowls full of fuel. The pump will shut off on time, so if it runs a bit and then shuts off, turn off the ignition switch, wait about 10 seconds and then turn it on agian. If the pump runs again and shuts off, repeat the procedure until the pump doesn't run. Now you are sure the bowls are full. If it doesn't quit running after the third attempt, the tank is out of gas, then you need to put more gas in the tank to fix that problem. Now wasn't that easy?

    Some one has to control those lads, and it's better with one that is controlled by the One that can, rather than by the one who made it bad in the first place.

    Sounds like we need to plan another Meet & Greet in the Niagara Area. Let us know if you are planning on being in Niagara, we'll find a dump uhhhhhh I mean place to eat and have good time together. Meet & Greets around here usually take about 3 to 4 hours, so come with an empty loader.
