    A friend of mine has a 84 Venture that he has an electrical problem with. His battery died so he bought a new one and everything was fine. He left the key on and killed the new battery.....this is when the problem started....he decided to boost it with his truck and while the cables were hooked to the truck his helper struck the handle bar with the positive cable....the negative was hooked to the battery and the key was turned on. Now everything works....lights - horn etc but the starter won't engage....no offer at all. He has checked all the fuses and all appears fine. Sooooooooo any ideas? Keith

    I'm no expert but I do know my brother put a set of Avon's on his VTX1300 and the suggestion from Avon was to put the one they recommended for the front to be but on in reverse. Keith

    I guess I'm kinda paranoid but I lock everything up It would be just my luck to be far from home and someone would see the need to take something off my hands! I just had a case come from E Bay to slip my GPS into for those short stops......has belt loops on the back.....perfect fit for the 660 and some other small items.

    I installed mine right after installing a new Interstate battery and mine never went above 59%. Guess it wasn't a wise battery choice? Mounted above right saddle bag. Keith

    It looks like the spring that would be on the back side of an oil seal......keeps tension on the shaft ...maybe ? Keith

    I have the Battery Bug and mounted it on the rear fender above the saddlebag below the pass hand grip on the right side. Keith

    My son has a nasty scar the length of his chest because a guy just didn't bother to hook up his chains. He was walking home from school on the sidewalk and the guy went past and his snowmobile trailer popped off and hit him in the side......a lacerated liver and a bruised kidney. This was a few years ago and all is well except for the scar. We ended up suing the guy and I believe he did rec a traffic ticket. Keith

    I have the Diamond R hidden Hitch and find it a pain hooking up the safety chains. Am I missing some thing or is there another option other than the 2 holes on top of the hitch inside the fender? How do you guys hook your chains on the hitch? I have been thinking about something like the picture below.....is this advisable? Keith

    I'm the same height....I have the Utopia and really like it. Its adjustable so you can adjust to suit you. Keith http://www.utpr.com http://www.diamondraccessories.com/indexpage.php

    I have been looking at the Drift X170 camera.......not priced too bad and seems to have more features then the Go Pro. http://pointofviewcameras.ca/drift-x170.html?gclid=CMHY9caFhKgCFcPd4Aod03xjsQ Keith

    I watched one of our mechanic's doing a plastic repair today and thought I would share it ! I have never seen it done before.....he clipped the end off a hose clamp.....heated it red hot with a torch and then embedded it into the plastic piece that was broken......see pic below. Not a repair you would do that can be seen but I'm sure someone may be able to make use of it somewhere. The picture is of a bench grinder shield arm. Keith

    Looks good Wally .....Thanks! Sorry Sideoftheroad didn't mean to hijack your thread! Keith

    Hey Wally "The latching mechanism for the zumo 665 is weak, but a quick little mod for that makes that a no count." I would like to hear what mod you have done ? I haven't had any problem (I have a 660) but ya never know! Tks Keith

    This is an interesting video..........its Yamaha about snowmobile oil filters and the bad pleated competition filters. Makes ya wonder! Maybe the motorcycle division should talk to the snowmobile division? Keith [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s1wuweZJzw]www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s1wuweZJzw[/ame]
