    I spent some quality time at Millington Tn. Had some good times in Memphis. The largest inland naval base in the world I was told. Gary

    http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=43688 The thread above has a link to the service manual that has had the missing pages replaced in it. Most of the Yamaha Venture 1st Gen manuals on line are missing about 10 various pages. Snaggletooth scanned these pages and I inserted them into the PDF file. Gary

    The supplier emailed me with the way to turn off the tach. He contacted the manufacturer to get this. When you do this, all information is lost that has been stored. In our case, it probably does not matter as it is being used as a tool. The meter will have to be reset each time it is to be used. It is somewhat lengthy, but here it is. Press and hold down S1 button, will show 01-05 (do not release S1 at this time), when display 05, release S1. After 8-10 seconds(at this time, the meter will flash), the meter will return to total hours, will display 0.0 hours (the meter will not flash). Then press and hold down S1 and S2 buttons, the meter will display 01-09 (don't release S1 and S2 buttons), after showing 00000, release S1 and S2 buttons, the meter will show 00000 to 99999, then return to 0.0. Now the meter is reset, after 5 seconds or so, the meter will become blank display, 0.0 will disappear. Gary

    If you have a small set of needle nose pliers you may be able to grab inside the flutes of the tap and work it out. Drilling will prove to be futile since the tap is probably as hard or harder than the drill. Gary

    You have about as much chance of that as the Saints do of winning the Super Bowl. OK, I will scan it for you, I'll let you know when I get it done. I may have to email it to you or something like that. Freebird is a little touchy about posting the copyrighted stuff here. Gary

    With all the research I did when I redrew the schematics, I never did find a pin out diagram for the radios. The closest I have is a parts breakdown of a 1983 era radio system. It's 48 pages long. In English and French. It list part #'s for every piece in the radio system, but no schematics. Gary

    I contacted to supplier of tachs and he said there is no way to turn tach off. The battery is supposed to be good for 35,000 hours, which is about 4 years. Gary

    February 12, 2010 post date I have received my order of the steering head bearing nut wrench. I will be shipping out to every one that has ordered one. I have extras, so if you would like one and have not ordered, see below for info. I have include a PDF cut from the 1st Gen & RSV service manuals relating to the procedure to set torque. Pay attention to text about setting torque wrench at a 90 degree angle to wrench. Not doing so will affect torque reading. Also listed below are the threads relating to this tool. Gary http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=45046 http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=44833 http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=44719 http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=44668&highlight=steering+head http://i1007.photobucket.com/albums/af193/gdingy101/PICT5202.jpg The procedure for setting steering head torque is outlined in the service manuals beginning with the 1986 manual. This is under Periodic Inspection & Adjustment - Chassis - Steering Head Adjustment. Also, if you are the proud owner of the MKI (83-85) Ventures, you could use the procedure outlined in the 86-93 manual. If you need a copy of this procedure I can provide it for you. The tool will work on any year Venture. The same part number is shown in the part fiche from 1983 through the RSV's for the steering head bearing nut. The tool will also work on 1st gen VMaxs & FJR's The tool is laser cut from 1/4" thick, 304 stainless steel. I can supply this tool at a cost of $23.00 including first class shipping to lower 48 US, Canada will be $24.00, first class shipping. I can order more at any time. If you would like to order one or more my paypal address is gary@dinges.com. I will see the paypal transaction in my email. I can also accept check or money orders. PM me for address. Please mark payment as a personal transaction. Paypal does not send your address to me when it is marked a gift. Please include shipping address & your screen name in Paypal transaction, comments field. Attached are pictures showing the finished tool. Gary

    You have a problem in the clutch switch then. I t should disengage when front brake, rear brake or clutch pressed, as well as the cancel switch. Below is link to thread on cleaning the switch. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=42720 Gary

    I don't have a good answer to getting the seal in the case out with the push rod still in there. What you said sounds as good as anything else though. Gary

    Pressure on a Lip seal or "u" shaped seal will go against the open part of the profile. This is so the pressure forces the sides of the seal into the cylinder wall. See if attached picture helps. Gary

    Which one are you unsure about? Attached is a picture of a clutch slave seal kit for an 83 that I haven't put in yet. Gary

    Where did the second level passenger foot rests come from? Is this a MKII feature? My wife is short and would probably like these. Gary

    If someone refers to this thread in future (which would be present for them) the threaded rod is 5/8-10 and you need a 36" long piece. Went to Lowes and got it tonight along with 4 nuts and a piece of 5/8" ID clear pvc tubing. Cost about $6.50 total. Thanks StuD Gary

    No, I have another set coming off of an 1987. I now have everything I need to put quad caliper pistons from a MKII on my scooter, both ends. I pity the fool that ends up with this bike in the distant future. Its going to have more parts & pieces that are not from 1983 than are from 1983. It's even going to have RSV, FJR, & VMax parts.

    The tach has two wires. One wraps around the spark plug wire two or three times. The other is a ground wire that does not need to be hooked up for the tach to function, its purpose is to run the hour meter part of unit. The tach can be set to read, 1 rpm for every plug fire, 1/2 rpm for every plug fire or 2 rpm for every plug fire. I am not sure if it will work with a COPs type coil. I tried it on a V8 Dodge and a lawn mower, both worked fine. I just shipped over 40 out today, so there ought to be some feedback in near future. Gary
