Front-end-wobble under hard braking
Marcarl replied to Gearhead's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
From what you posted I don't think all your problems may relate to this, but then again they might, for if you don't have the steering head tight enough, you have no firm ground on which to decipher the rest. It doesn't take whole lot for the bearings to be loose. I like to tighten them up so that I know that they're too tight on a short easy test run, and then back them off a wee bit so that they will work as they should. -
If you take some ABS, I use some left over drain pipe, make shavings with a coarse file, mix with acetone you come up with a neat paste that seems to work very well. You can make it very liquidy or more thick as you need to and it gives you time to work with it. I also use fiberglass and plastex where handy and needed. For backing I like aluminum tape, sticks in place, follows curves, somewhat with some help, and removes easily.

Glad to hear that all worked out ok, given the same 100 (or less) years ago the story would have been a whole lot different for you. Amazing what can be done today. Keep on smilin'.

I don't get any, do you think I should, so which one has pictures?
-
Be proud and be thankful, and after that be smart and do what is right. It's real nice to be a pappa of a smart kid, but as Freebird mentioned, there are difficulties that have to thought about. God Bless you in your thoughts and decisions.

Sure glad all is as well as it is, keep us posted on the progress, Thanks Carl

And here I thought I was going nuts, couldn't find no extra buttone anywhere, rats, I missed getting my vote in, that's the trouble when you have other things to do.
-
It got me nowhere.
-
Seems like it did you some good, you're starting to feel better as I see you're getting some of your humor back, Now get back to work.

Try draining that carb to see if it has gas in it.
-
Thanks for the votes guys, or are you trying to butter me up. Well it's nice to know you thought of me anyways. I'm glad I didn't go then, if it cost too much, would have to raise the price on the pepperettes to cover my losses, I am Dutch eh?

FJR Rider and My Relationship With The VentureRiders
Marcarl replied to FJR Rider's topic in Watering Hole
So now I get to say my piece, you didn't think I'd be quiet on this do you? We have close to four thousand folks that at one time or another thought it to be a good idea to put their name down and be counted as a member of this site. That says something BIG. Something drew them into doing that, now lets see, what could it be?????????? Well it could be the tech articles, but you can access them anyway, it could be the colors that come up, or it could be the weather statements on the posts, or maybe the smileys in the posts, or maybe it's all YamaMama. Nah, it's got very little to do with all that. It's the friendship that shows through the threads and posts that just can't help come out as you read. We have a FAMILY here and it shows, and I'm glad to be part of it. Now once you have a family and have developed friendships, other things crop up and have to be dealt with occasionally. We can't ALWAYS just use part of our character here and leave the rest in limbo, sometimes our deeper self comes out, and for me that's ok, we'll deal with it because it shows more of who we actually are and that's not all bad. Now I agree that this is a RIDERS FORUM and no place for discussion about politics and the like, but happen it will because it's all part of us and it will rear it's head, that's why we have moderators and I feel that they're doing an awesome job. On the other hand, because we care so much for each other, occasionally we can get a little strong in our opinions on what is good and what we should not be doing. That's good as well, sometimes it's necessary to wake each other up, and point out their errors for their own good, and sometimes the language can get a little stronger. I think we are all concerned for each other, have a real caring for the other person and so that will come across as well. It will never be perfect, but then we are a family, and nothing is ever perfect in a family, the more we get to know each other, the closer we will get and the more we will be concerned about each other. We need to be constantly reminded about the guidelines, and to love each other (the act, not necessarily the feeling). -
Looks a little bit CRISP outside, nice thing about it, if there is a nice thing, it's dry and you don't feel it soo bad, mind you there is danger in that as well, IT REALLY IS COLD. Enjoy your work and your stay, keep us posted. If we don't hear anything in a week, should we come looking?????????

Best thing is to do is to take all the antifreeze out, flush it well, 4 or 5 times so that there is no more trace of antifreeze, then refill with cold, clean, distilled water. Now it will be less noticeable, seeing as these scoots seem to do this more often.

Carb. Diaphragm
Marcarl replied to buddy's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Wow, finally some competition. How long did it take you? 16 minutes or did you have this in the wings to bring out for just the right occassion? -
Stick around for a bit and there will be lots of offers for addresses. Fact is, we're having a Meat & Greet on the 26 of this month in Michigan @ Macrays, just across the border from Sombra (Sarnia), you're welcome to come along, attend, and maybe by that time you may have all the needed in a lineup. Same goes for you Wizard765

And here I thought we were doing just fine without you and you could take another week off. Oh well, all good things must come to an end, and so it is, now that the boss is back.:happy65: Glad you had a good time, and welcome back, we kind of did miss you, you know.

Every day we ask our Creator to look after our VR family, and to touch those who have not yet had the experience of His presence. A special prayer goes out for you folks.

Don't really need a lot, I ride a first gen.
-
If I think that my load is getting close to the limit, I will ride or drive, depending on the vehicle, for about 20 min to half hour and then stop to check the tire temp. If it is hot, it's time to do something, should they be warm, I'm happy and will check again further down the road. But always keep the pressure where it should be. When I ride solo, my pressure will be less than when I ride fully loaded,(never mind the comments). I really don't want a hard tire with little contact patch and slim grip when I will need all the help I can get in a problem situation.

Man that snow looks fluffy and cosey, can hardley wait to get some time off and test it out.

A little shocked would be the word when I read the title of this thread. Glad to hear that they are ok. Thank the Good Shepherd for His guidance.

There is defiantly something wrong with that water, seems it bleached all the color from his body, but not his neck and face, but then look at Charlie, someone must have dunked him under, he's all white.

Nah we'll keep it on the bright side, you watch.
