  1. Sounds great, wish I could extend mine to match, will be in the Blackhills for Labor day weekend. Maybe see you out there Safe riding
  2. I'm surprised that you got stopped at all in Wi. When I have driven up there, 15 over is normal. It must have been a slow day for him. When I was there last, 2 weeks ago, was doing 85 and cagers were passing me left and right. :confused24:
  3. Just went thru some of that area, would say you need to find the House on The Rock near Dodgeville. Not that far from you. Just stay on the back roads, lots of nice riding. Also a nice little stop, Spillville Ia. Bily clock museum, all hand carved by two brothers.
  4. And half the fam damily
  5. I never touch it, have a gage and a trip odometer, but it is on right side, under black panel, right under seat. Have fun riding Great machine
  6. ROTFLOL, My god what the heck was that?
  7. I purchased mine with the Elite III on it. Seem fine to me, but I haven't ridden in a few years. Looked brand new then, have about 4k on it since. 2 months now.
  8. Mine wants to go to the Black Hills, yet this summer, and son in law wants to go to the Field of Dreams movie site, both over 300 miles in completely opposite directions
  9. It had been 20 yrs since I rode, and that was just very short trips, honda CB450T, a real vibrator. Only had Venture 2 months now.
  10. Am thinking I will need trailer on next trip to haul the souvenirs that the wife wants to buy
  11. Was tired, but not real bad, did over 400 today from about 11 am to 8 pm. Rode 2 up, wife's knees are sore and she went right to bed. I really think it helped keeping the helmets on almost the whole time. Last week Sunday we put on over 200 miles to help her get a feel for this trip she wanted to take.
  12. Just got back with over 1000 miles under my butt in 73 hrs. From home to Spillville Ia, House on the Rock, Wi, Wisconsin Dells, Eau Claire Wi, visited grandkids in Eau Claire, then around Lake Pepin on the Mississippi, both sides, Red Wing, Lake City and Wabasha, then to Rochester, Mn, Owatonna Mn, Sleepy Eye, Mn then the quickest way home as it was getting late. Never before tried this, Venture performed flawlessly, I didn't tried to kill on some uphill starts, and redlight goofs. Had lots of fun trying to get a motel room this weekend around here, as Sturgis riders, both coming and going were filling most motels along the interstate. Had lots of fun. Daryl
  13. Which bulb should be in the headlight, owners manual say 65w/60w and service manual says 60w/55w. Could that keep my headlight icon on. My bulb says 60w/55w. Just wondering Thanks for the batt icon help, it is now off.
  14. Glad to see you made it back and had a good time along the way. Hope to meet up it with you again. Daryl
  15. No problem at all to make 100, still have fairing and standard windscreen, lots to go
  16. 83 VR bought less than 2 months ago, just over 40mpg, daily ride to work 55 to 70 mph, pretty much the same 2 up.
  17. And she didn't learn a thing, again. Should be sent back to drivers training.
  18. About 50/50 and when I do it is a Snell approved, cost a little extra but much better than a DOT. Snell are tested and must meet specs, DOT follow guidelines enforced by manufacturer.
  19. But both hi and lo work, can see difference when I use the switch. Am confused?
  20. It is the larger one, if someone replaced the light with other than stock, would it bring the icon on?
  21. Now how about the headlight icon showing all the time? Thanks for the info about the battery icon, now can get that off. Maybe I can take the tape off that blocks the flashing red light.
  22. Deer whistles work under a small set of circumstances, most of the time they don't. Ripped them off mine when I got it.
  23. Was running seafoam thru it, but found out I fouled a plug, replaced them and it runs great again.
  24. Thanks for all the help, now know what to get and where to put it, but found out filter not the problem. One carb is plugged with junk, need to work on that area, looks like fun.
  25. Hey guys, what do you use in lieu of a yamaha fuel filter, mine is plugged after a tank with seafoam!!!! Any part #s come to mind
