Who spilled Spaghetti on your bike? I think I know exactly what your wiring problem is ... it is that wire 2nd to the left...I think it is yellow.

has anyone ever bought directly from morgan carbtune?
N3FOL replied to big mike's topic in Watering Hole
Same here...ordered directly from them and am very satisfied with the product. Tomorrow, I am helping a co-worker synch the carbs and check idle on this RSTD. It should be fun. -
$400 bucks...I can buy at least 3 Rear tires for that price. krp41151, get all the basic tools that you may need to take of the tire...If you have the Carbon One jack adapter already, to me that is 50% of your worries solved. Dig into past threads in this forum for assistance. Lots of information to walk you through in terms of removing the rear tire and have someone mount and balance it.

Awesome mileage really...26K is hard to beat. The most mileage I got on a rear tire is 16K and that was too close for comfort. If only I can change a moto tire on the side of the road then I just might run my rear tire close to bald. E3's sounds like a good tire. Ride safe

I simply carry a small block of wood, if I have to park on asphalt. I've never really used it yet, but just in case.

Congrats on the new Ultra! There is no doubt you own one of the best looking bike out there.
-
Congrats on the nice find, ReinyRooster. 13K miles is very low mileage for a 2000 bike. I've owned my Venture for about 7 months now and may surpass 5000 miles next month. BTW, did anybody mention pics....yes sir...I do want to see pics of your new ride. Regards.

throttle play..end to end..
N3FOL replied to hoghead's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
My accelerator throttle play has increased a little. I know because when I got my bike last October compared to today, it feels like it has more throttle play to it. Is this adjustment or throttle play check / adjustment (if needed) covered under my factory warranty?- 8 replies

To rule out the possibility of a bad relay, check it out with a multimeter.

Glad to hear that everyone had a great time with the meet. But I was hoping to see some pics...care to share the sights of the ride?

Sorry to hear about your spill on gravel, Kenny. Give your ankle time to heal and apply pressure and some homebrew physical therapy will streghthen your ankle muscles. Regards to your wife and am glad that she did not get hurt. Regards.

I have an '07 and have not experienced what you guys had described. At low and high speeds, my bike runs a straight line. At highway speeds, I can take off both hands for a few seconds (not recommended) and the bike will not pull to the left or right. Could it be that the air pressure on the forks are uneven?

It looks tight under there, but it is nice to know that the engine mounts will need to be removed. I know my air compressor will have to be used first to blow away all the dust and dirt that may have settled near the plug wells. For spark plugs, I may simply install regular plugs as recommended by Yamaha. Our local Advance Auto can order plugs for me anytime. Thanks for your input.

SOUNDS like a true happy ending.

Sounds like a good idea. Plugs are not that expensive. I have over 4K miles on my plugs and may very well replace plugs by mid-summer. As for the 2 front plugs, did you have to remove the fin bracket in order to have access with the wrench?

I 2nd the idea of a one gallon container that is made specifically for flammables. It is plastic and small enough that it can fit anywhere in the Venture bags. If you are travelling alone, a 2 gallon container is a good choice and I would just put it behind you on the passenger seat.

I smoked cigarettes back in High School more during my Jr. year. I've tried alcohol as well. It is the best thing ever invented until you start to throw up. Fortunately, I never really liked smoking in college and now in my adult life. I'd rather spend my money on Bling and feel healthy. I still have to witness a rider on his bike and smoking a cigarette at the same time.

I am keeping an eye on this thread. Am also interested on what works aftertermarket wise for a LED strip that can be installed as a replacement to the OEM LED on the wing. Has anyone checked with Custom Dynamics strips?
-
Glad to hear you had a great time test riding the Versys. I am not a tall guy, so I assume the bike will be to tall for me. It is a Kawa isn't it?

Whinning Sound Downshifting
N3FOL replied to Highway Star's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
At deceleration, I say that is normal as well. My engine sounds like a mini turbo diesel when it starts to really warm up and go. -
I agree, 6pak. I saw a window of opportunity yesterday afternoon, but I passed on cutting the grass thinking that the grass is still wet. I may go ahead and start cutting the grass early Sunday before all the rain comes. My bike has a little over 4400 miles, so this is also the perfect time to blow out the air filters with compressed air.

What's up with all this chance of rain in the forecast up until next week. I am starting to have Spring induced cabin fever. 7 more days and I hope to see some sun in the forecast.
