Had front lowered by dealer
N3FOL replied to phochief's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
The next time you go to your local gym, don't forget to do 'Squat' exercises. It really work the buns:Bunny:. -
Oil pressure warning light coming on.........
N3FOL replied to nkbjones's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
From what I read, simply adding enough oil to the almost full level may take care of the problem. -
Had front lowered by dealer
N3FOL replied to phochief's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Quite surprised on this end too. Me at 5'5", I can almost flat foot my Venture, but I can live with it with no lowering mods. Some say that the rear may cause some erratic handling of the bike, when lowered on the rear. At any rate, I do have the Baron's lowering kit for the Venture FOR SALE still in its unopened package. PM me for details, if you are interested -
I am not sure why you would like to bypass the cooling fan. Unless you are having heat issues thus causing your bike to run poor, I personally would not recommend doing this. Perhaps just replace sensors or thermostat at a regular basis and let the system work as it is intended to be.

I don't know a whole lot of nice routes in PA, but with the help of my new Garmin I don't have to worry about getting lost. I can't wait for Spring and Summer.

LED Brake Light and LED turn signals
N3FOL replied to Maritimer's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Good news for LED Clusters owners, Custom Dynamics website indicate DOT approval on the clusters...I feel good now:cool10:. http://www.customdynamics.com/genesis_led_turns_signals_dot_approved.htm -
+1. Too expensive for some of them, but then the quality might be far superior than the cheaper kinds.

I speak with experience on this matter ...you will be the one and only one to determine if you have enough in there. The trick is give it time and some .

No spark at any plug, just won't start!
N3FOL replied to Mordalo's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
With this thread, I will keep in mind many possibilities that can go wrong including the kickstand. There is always something new to learn in this forum everyday. -

I hope you would consider this a happy ending...now you can ride. Ride Safe. -
The bike sure looks like my co-worker's 2007 RSTD.

Installing factory passing lamps
N3FOL replied to a topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Mine does not really look like H3's from the outside instead it has 2 legs. It also does not look like a sealed beam for it has a phillips screw at the bottom to open the housing. I will try to take a pic once I open the housing this afternoon or tonight. -
Installing factory passing lamps
N3FOL replied to a topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Thanks for your input KiteSquid. Now that makes sense to me on the 'passing lamp' terminology. I will also take note of the 2 choices of bulbs to get, however, I am a little bit hesitant to open the case and determine what type of bulb it is. I am hoping it would be an H3 bulb and 35W so that may be easier to get. I had a light bar on my Vulcan and it used an H3 25W bulb and was not readily available locally...only online. As I was typing this message, I took a quick peak inside the lamp housing and it did not look like an H3 bulb. I've searched on Google and the PAR36 bulb appears to be a sealed beam type lamp. My bulb has two stems and extends to the back of the lamp housing (as I see through from the outside). Any ideas what kind of bulb it is? I am hesitant to open it up and this might be a cause for a premature failure of my bulb by accidentally touching it. -
I am not familiar of an RSCT, but I've seen an RSTD.

Installing factory passing lamps
N3FOL replied to a topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I am wondering why they are called 'Passing Lamps' instead of just saying 'Light Bar'? I also have the lamps installed and curious about what kind of bulb does it use. I'd rather keep a spare or two in the garage just in case they burn out. -
Your commute to work is really short in my book and that the battery is not getting a full charge (My '08 Prius will not even like that short drive). As mentioned earlier, a good battery tender or conditioner will do the trick. Now that I saw this thread, I may very well plug in my battery while I watch the football game. (No riding for the next 4 or 5 days). One other possibility could be that your stator is not charging your battery properly and your current battery is at a slow death (IMO). Let us know how it turns out, once you plug in your battery...Regards.

J&M is working on a nice Nolan FF helmet with Bluetooth built in for the Venture. I am waiting for them to put it on the market per their email.

I will take 30° instead of the teens...that means I may be able to ride once again next week.

+1. I can still see outdoors after 5 pm and that is a very good sign. This cold air is just getting to my nerves. there is absolutely nothing for me to do outdoors around the house and I even don't feel like working in my garage with temps in the teens.

or less...

Honda has released their own "production chopper"
N3FOL replied to AmnChode's topic in Watering Hole
The bike for sure has a Bike Show appeal. Not my style of riding though. I give it a 'thumbs Up". -
Mine is also located at the same spot. My auxilliary lights are dealer installed, so this may be the recommended spot by Yamaha (left side of the auxilliary 12V plug).
-
Tough is a light word to use...riding with no helmet in - ° temps. is painful. More power to his cause.

I heard in the news that the US Airways aircraft was an Airbus and in this particular plane, it has an 'auto-ditch' system...(not sure of the term) so if the pilot activates this safety system...all air vents going in and out of the airplane will close making the airplane air tight and sealed. There is no doubt that the pilot made the emergency landing as smooth as possible preventing the aircraft from breaking apart. Trully a miracle!

LED Brake Light and LED turn signals
N3FOL replied to Maritimer's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Hello ksiceman. My auto turn signal cancel is unaffected as well as my Hazard functionality is unaffected. From what I know about the unit that I installed, it is a 'No Load' , 'No Heat' unit. Order the 'Metric Signal Stabilizer' for your Venture. Great product! FYI. My Venture is an '07.
