    I did download your 'Venture 9' curve. Just looked at it again. But the curve that is running in my bike is really not even close to that one. If anything, it is closer to one Squeeze sent me. I will email it to you if you want to look at it. The first two screens match your, but I am not sure about a couple of settings there. When I gently roll the throttle up, all four cylinders do not advance at same point. Two of them lag a degree by some RPM's. I think this is due to the settings on the 'Bike' page,'Channel 1 - Channel 4' Gary

    I had the bike dynoed today with the ignitech unit that I got from Crimson Knight, horsepower only unfortunately. Only cost $20 though. Did not have near the horsepower I was expecting from it. 96.12 with the stock TCI and 95.80 with the ignitech unit. But the results show that the stock TCI is very close in performance to the ignitech unit. Ignitech was run with a 2D curve. I do not have a boost sensor or TPS wired in yet. The two curves are shown on the first picture. The blue curve is the stock TCI, red curve is the ignitech unit. For some reason the stock TCI broke up a little at higher RPM's, something I have not noticed on the road. I may have not had the plugs in tight when I swapped modules. Stock TCI was 84-89 version. HP readings were taken in 4th gear. Very hot & humid day, which didn't help at all. Other four shots are screen shots of parameter settings in ignitech software.

    It is on its way to you. USPS tracking # 9101785091401605745058 I also found the drive plate for the gear head. It goes behind the seal in the front wheel. Sent it in case yours got messed up. Gary

    Standard plug is DPR8EA-9/NGK If you don't mind spending about $6.50 a plug, have them cross that number to an Iridium plug. Better quality in my opinion and will last much longer. Still an NGK plug. Gary

    Which picture below does your dash look like. You said in first post you had a Royale, which I thought had the gear indicator. If it is like the first picture, it only has a neutral indicator. If it is like the second picture, the gear indicator should be in lower left corner of the cmu display. If does not have a gear indicator, starts in neutral, and takes off in second, it is unlikely that the problem is in neutral circuit. If it does have a gear indicator, possibly there is a problem with the gear indicator wiring. The symptoms you first described, does the bike lurch when you put it in 1st, or suddenly die? Reason for asking this is to determine if clutch dragging is killing engine, though I would think that would be more likely in second. Just trying to clarify symptoms. Gary

    Don't take this as an insult to your mechanical abilities. Did you by any chance put a pad in backwards? Gary

    Are you saying that it stalled when going into 1st, but not when going into 2nd? Reason I am asking is the neutral circuit should react the same when going into 1st or 2nd. Does the shift light properly indicate each gear as you shift through gears. Gary

    Does anyone know the procedure to split upper & lower fork tubes on a 2008 XL 1200 Custom? My son has one and he wants to powder coat lower fork tubes. A clip from service manual would be very helpful. Gary http://i1007.photobucket.com/albums/af193/gdingy101/PICT2684s.jpg

    George, Where is it that shows the 1 1/8 setting for the needle jets ? Most of what I recall seeing on here is 2 turns. Just asking, not arguing. Gary

    Below is a link to a more complete manual than what is posted above. The manual above is missing about 10 pages at various points throughout it. Snaggletooth scanned the missing pages and I inserted them. This manual covers 1983-1985 bikes. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=43688 Gary

    Oh My God !! Chesty Puller (Lt. Gen. Marine Corps, Most decorated Marine in their history) is probably spinning in his grave. Hearing squids using the hallowed term Semper Fi. Have you no dignity. Political my rump, this is getting personal. Gary

    Can I have your Venture, since you will probably be upgrading to a Gold Wing now? Gary

    I got mine from an ebay seller located in Canada. He has a listing up now, he will do a 4 line set for about $85.00 including shipping. You have to know what you want in the way of lengths and end fittings. No one line over 71". He also has single, double & triple sets on sale. Ebay seller is linespro 4 line set listing # is 270597840446 I was happy with the quality of the set I got from him. Gary

    Check the free play in the cruise cable actuator to cable junction box. I think you have to remove left fairing to do this. May be able to reach it with it on but it will be tight. There should only be 1/16" inch of total play in the cable. This includes movement of the actuator bellows. Couple of pictures attached. Adjuster is in center of cable from actuator to cable junction box. Another thing to also try is to hold the set button down for 3 or 4 seconds before you release it, this gives the actuator time to engage. Gary

    I think I have the gear head laying around somewhere. I'll have to go on a walkabout to find it. Gary

    Cable should spin at a steady rate, dependent on wheel speed. I measured a speedo inner cable and it is 41 3/4" long I am not sure what is sticking out of the lower speedo gear. Haven't seen that protrusion on the bikes I have had. It might be the end of the outer cable sheath. Is the cable squared on each end? I attached a couple of pictures, one of each end of the cable, for reference. Gary
