    The moderator formerly known as Squidley will henceforth be known as CUPCAKE. Ask Kbay, I know nothing. Gary

    The cable can still be unscrewed from the speedometer head and appear fine at bottom end. See if you can move outer cable up and down where it goes up into fairing. If you can, it may be detached from speedometer head. Gary

    Other than Mini & MarCarl doing table dances, it was pretty calm group. Gary

    The tach is triggered directly of of the primary side of the #2 coil. This same circuit, also triggers the fuel pump relay. If bike is firing on #2, & fuel pump is working, it probably indicates this part of circuit is functioning. Problem most likely lies in tach head. Gary

    The carnival is under way. Gunboat and daughter sarah, Goose, E-fishin, Four Paws, RandyR, and myself were there. Freebird & Eileen of course. Passed a couple of Ventures just as I was leaving to come home for the night. You are going to miss a hell of a party if you aren't going. Have over 80 people signed up for dinner tomorrow, and MD isn't until Saturday. Gary

    The oil that leaked out of the middle gear is engine oil. There is only one oil reservoir for the engine/transmission/middle gear. Not 3, like some Harleys. Gary

    Fill it at the clutch master on left handle bar. Remove two screws and fill reservoir. Gary

    The cruise control reads the speed via a magnetic read switch mounted in the speedometer head. If speedometer cable is broke or otherwise not functioning, cruise will not work. Also check that speedometer cable nut has not loosened at speedometer head. Gary

    Getting it apart is only half the problem. How did you re-torque it? Gary

    I made a custom road peg mount for the bike this week. These let me stretch my legs all the way out. When they were mounted to the crash bars they were not far enough forward. Gary

    Get a piece of 5/8" all thread at least 20" long. Put two 5/8" nuts on each end and lock them down against each other. Slide this down in top of fork after spring has been removed. The bottom nut will engage the damper rod. Hold top nut with wrench. All thread & nuts were about $8.00 at Lowes. Gary http://i1007.photobucket.com/albums/af193/gdingy101/PICT0016.jpg

    Leaving Don's between 7:00 & 7:30 Bongobobby is arriving at hotel close to that time with others in tow & they will meet us at Quaker. Gary

    Depends on your arrival time at hotel I suppose. Gary

    You want to put dinner Friday night up against which of our bikes has the higher HP ???? Put your money where your mouth is. Sleds need not apply. Gary

    It is supposed to be near 90 Saturday with isolated chance of thunder storms. Friday looks clear, but hot. Going to be hot & humid. Gary

    Look at your old plugs. How many threads up from the bottom are blackened on the plugs. Should be about three threads for proper heat range. Gary

    I have been working with one of our members, helping him install a CLASS system in an 88 standard 1st gen. He got a bad controller from ebay. He sent me his controller & compressor to check. The compressor is fine. Control head has deeper problems than the solder joint repair. I swapped my lower board with his and it did not correct problem. Also disassembled upper half of controller and saw no visible problems. Cleaned all contacts to no avail. If anyone could help a brother out, it would be appreciated by him. Gary

    I went to the restaurant Monday afteernoon & talked to manager. I just talked to manager & gave him an update. (10:10 am Wed) I am going to call him Friday afternoon with as close a count as I can get. Gary

    Maybe a good idea to keep Naugh-t's backside up against a wall though. Harder access for the pygmies, ya that's it, the pygmies. Gary

    I am going to disagree and agree with goose here. Yes, he is correct that the water is the same temp. on both sides. But that does not take into account that the water is being heated by the engine. The water can only remove a certain amount of heat. If heat exceeds designed cooling potential, then the excess heat will be dissipated in other ways. There is the possibility that one or both cylinders on one side or the other are running at a lean condition. This will cause those cylinders to run hotter than the cylinders which are running at a correct or rich fuel mixture. The flow of water only cools the water jacketed parts of the block & heads. It does not cool the exhaust manifolds which are an intense source of heat. The lean cylinders will run a higher exhaust manifold temp. Gary

    That's the place. So far I have 70 people & 42 bikes, assuming everyone is riding. Not sure about Freebird, may be Saturday before bike is well again. Bongobobby may come from hotel. Looks like a Parade in the making.

    Below is a link that details how to disassemble & clean the switches for the clutch lever, and both brake levers. Plenty of pictures to guide you. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=43024 Gary

    Hey Boomer, You better get your swabby behind in gear. I talked the navigator into making a couple of cheesecakes. Gary
