The hole under the engine cover is for the coolant in each cylinder. Looks like it's been leaking coolant and you need to replace the little rubber plug. Go ahead and get 4 new ones and replace all while you are at it. You can use the small threaded end of an old spark plug and screw it into the plug to pull it out.

When I was in High School in 1975 I bought a 64 Impala from the VP of DR Pepper. It was his company car in 64, 65 and 66. It was a 4 door special ordered with 350 HP 327, had every option they had, power seats, power windows, AC, power glide transmission. Was black with black interior and lots of chrome. Had AM/FM radio with power antenna which was up front and straight up instead of on the back and angled back. He had bought it and gave to his mother when he got a new company car and when she got too old to drive he put it up for sale. Paid $800 for it and had 98,000 miles but was in great shape. Had a blast in it, would just blow away all the other Impalas in Dallas area with 327s. Would drop it down in Low and then shift to Drive at about 70 MPH and would smoke the back tires at 70 for about a second. Had a guy run a red light and hit me in 78 and totaled it. Miss that one out of all the autos I have owned.

The same club came thru North Texas Friday, about 30 bikes. They were from all over. There was a red bagger and a blue one that were husband and wife, he did all the metal work and paint himself. Also a trike

Probably bad shock. When mine lost the oil it would do that. Replaced with a Hagon Shock

I have been off the bike for 4 months healing from 2 surgeries. Rode my 07 Venture Wednesday and when I turn on the button for the cruise on the fairing the bottom light flashes once and then all 3 lights flash continuously. Any ideas, hate taking it to stealership.

When was the last time you changed clutch and brake fluid. Probably need to change both to all fresh.

My brother has a 2002, it's red. He loves his. He told me he has to be careful shifting into second. It has a tendency to raise the front wheel off the ground for some reason

I had mine done April 25. Right shoulder and I am right handed. Badly torn rotator cuff, one tendon of bicep, 2 bone spurs and a little arthritis. First 2 weeks is pretty rough. First week arm in sling, but start doing exercises with rope and pulley for recovery of range of motion day one, 6 or more times a day . Absolutely no lifting anything heavier than a toothbrush first couple of weeks. Took about 2 weeks for my full range of motion to come back. The key is to do what the Dr tells you, he told me if the rope exercises hurt take more pain pills. You do not want to end up with lock shoulders. Soreness lasted about 3 weeks then starts to ease off. Been 2 months and still probably another month before I even think about riding again. Be real careful trying to pick up anything of weight. You will know when you do.
I would not even try working on the bike unless it's on a stand and you are not using that arm to lift, push or pull on anything.

Went thru the same thing with my Grandfather, he was in WWII. Since we didn't have his dd214 number could not get anything. Said records were destroyed in the warehouse fire. After about 6 months trying one of his friends said when they got back from the War had to register at the county court house. My Mom contacted them and it took about 2 weeks digging thru files in basement and they found it. Once Mom had that she was able to get him benefits and even got his medals replaced.

Been to Vancouver a couple of times. Ate at a revolving restaurant in a tower once at night. Really beautiful view from there.

Summer of 72 I was 14. Went with my neighbors to the Lake for a long weekend to stay in a cabin. When we got back home there was a 60 something (don't remember the exact year) Honda 90 sitting in the garage. Dad had bought it for my upcoming 15 birthday. One of the happiest kids in the neighborhood. Been hooked ever since.
Then I bought a 60 something Yamahas Twin Jet 100.
At one point I had the Yamaha 100, my Dad had a Yamaha RD350, my Mom had a Yamaha RD250, my brother had a Suzuki 80, one of my Uncles had a Honda 350 Scrambler and my Grandfather had a Suzuki 90 with the fat tires. We rode together whenever we got the chance.

Need some help. Long story short put new Polk speakers in my 07 RSV with a lot of help from this site. much improved over stock speakers. Then went to put in amp and screwed up and got a wire mixed up that was hot all the time to one of the speakers (my own stupid mistake, always check and double check). Blew the fuse for the audio. Put all the wires back to stock hookup and changed fuse but now remote controller on handlebar will not turn on. Don't know if it is the remote or the radio head unit. Pinwall has radio for $189 but no remotes. Can find new remotes but they are over $600. How do I figure out weather it is the head unit or the remote that is bad or both.
Any and all help appreciated.

When I was younger and worked construction we used to send the new guys helping the electricians for a wire stretcher. One guy was gone all afternoon. The next morning when he showed up we asked him where the heck he was and he said if you guys are dumb enough to try and pull that one me I just took the afternoon off. We all laughed. Also used to send newbies to go get us a squeegee sharpener or a broom straightener.

Texas is a PITA to work with on titles. Been there done that. I won't buy anything, boat, trailer, bike, car, etc if it does not have a clean title. It's all about the money and the laws have changed a lot in the last couple of years and it's not for your benefit.

Mine was doing the same thing. Got a Hagon shock and really like it. The following thread helped me out a lot when changing it out.

We have some at work. I thought they were big cup holders. Sprayed my coffee all over the bathroom.

I just replaced my leaking OEM shock with the Hagon Saturday along with new braided brake and clutch cables. So far I really like this shock, feels good.

I was 7 and remember my Mom and I were at my Aunts apartment visiting when it came on her black and white TV that Kennedy was shot. My Mom and Aunt both cried for a long time and we spent the entire day with my Aunt till my Dad got there after he got off work.

Mine had quit working and I checked the same fuse in lower cowling. it was good. Took to dealer and they fixed it. Says there was a second fuse that was blown. Did not tell me which one as the Tech had already gone home when I picked up the bike.
