    Hello, It was brought to my attention that there is another Ebay individual selling the same tachs as I am getting for a Buy it now price of $16.99 shipping included. He indicated to me that he did not want to sell outside of of Ebay as this could result in his getting kicked off Ebay. Sellers ID is 8450fish. The latest ad he has on Ebay now lists them at $17.25. This is $0.25 cents cheaper than I am able to do with first class shipping. I do not want any one to think I am taking advantage of them by doing this. If you have already paid me and want a refund let me know. Getting them through me is still cheaper for the multiple unit purchases. Gary

    Would someone that has a Yamaha tool p/n YU-01268, ring nut wrench, and could measure a couple of things on it please PM me ? Picture of it is attached below. The RSV & the 86-93 Venture manuals shows this tool being used in the 'Periodic Inspections and Adjustment' section under 'Chassis - Steering Head'. I am looking at getting some of these made and need two measurements from the "official" tool. This tool allows the torque to be set on the steering head bearings without guessing at it. I have several contacts that have CNC laser and/or high definition plasma cutters that could make these. I want to get quotes on this item before I put it out there to see how much interest there would be in them. This tool should work on all 83-09 models. Gary

    Did PO run a braided wire down between coils and attach with a screw and nut through starter housing? There looks like there is enough room to get a #10 screw between coils. Gary

    From what I tried earlier today, I don't believe that soda will take any serious corrosion or build up off. It seemed to put somewhat of a smooth, non shiny surface on the carb diaphragm cover I tried it on. Cover had an oxidation type patina to it prior to soda blasting. It would still need polished with a buffing wheel, which I also tried on blasted piece. It did gloss out fairly easily. I think what cougar posted would also work with glass beads though. The soda aspect is nice because containment of the blasted media isn't as big a problem. Just hose it away. I liked his initial post, which was reason I went to Harbor Freight to get air gun, just liked one they had a smidge more. Gary

    I looked at the pictures I took of my 83 as I was tearing it down. It looks like you can get at it by pulling gas tank. You have to remove rear frame. There are a couple of pictures attached. I don't think you have to pull rear end of like one picture shows. Gary

    There are two leads coming out of cable. One has eyelet connector, ground connection if you were going to permanently mount it to run hour meter. Ground wire does not need to be connected to read RPM's. The picture at top of thread that shows it in my Dodge only had the spark plug wire connected. Also worked fine on lawn mower without ground hooked up. Other is about 20 gauge insulated wire. This one you wrap around spark plug wire a couple of times to read RPM's. These two wires join about a foot from end of 66" overall length cable that comes out of tach. I added a picture to my first post showing this better. Gary

    Has anyone came up with a substitute to for the steering head wrench, other than the Yamaha special tool ? Gary

    Just tried it and it works OK. Fairly comfortable to hold and use. Instructions say 9oz hopper Maybe 1 to 1 1/2 cups of material. Also says it will work with glass bead & walnut shells. Here is online link. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?itemnumber=93221&Submit=Go Gary

    Went to harbor freight to get parts to make soda blaster Cougar showed & they had this on sale for $9.99, normally $14.99 on line. Air gun & vinyl tube would have been about $7.00 for Cougars . Went with this to try. I don't have to have vinyl tube feeding out of box this way. Gary

    http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=42539 Evan, Look at thread shown above. It has some pictures of neutral switch in a Royale version. Also shows the position in bike. Not really an adjustment in there. Could be the brass tip on end of transmission cam is worn out. Does the indicator always stay in first or does it cycle through gears? Possibly the 3 screws that hold the plastic switch plate to the engine case are loose. Gary

    Also Cruise control, upgraded dash with gear position indicator & stop watch functions on clock. Gary

    The neutral wire connector is very close to the rear shock damper adjustment on left side of bike. It is a single 'Butt" type connector. I believe it is a Sky Blue wire (light blue, but probably oil stained in this area). Try disconnecting Butt connection and see if this affects neutral light. If light stays on, you may have a short to ground in that circuit. Also, here is a link to online wiring schematic for your bike. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=42384 Look at the 83 XVZ12TK, first one in list. The third one in list is the simplified version, easier to read, but doesn't show connectors. Let me know, and I can further help you troubleshoot this if you want. Gary

    My Ram has an analog gauge, not digital. Similar to first gens. It did match close as I could tell. Gary

    Digital tach group buy is now closed. Tachs have been shipped to members that ordered them on Monday, February 8, 2010. Gary ================================================================ I received the digital tach today that I had ordered from an ebay vendor. He sells these tachs in an auction style format and they vary widely in price. Prices for the last 6 on Ebay incl. First Class shipping were $21.19, $19.19, $17.69, $19.19, $34.69, $20.00 These tachs would be very useful when doing carb synching and adjusting the pilot air screws. He will sell me a bulk order of 20 or more for a fixed cost of $14.50 including shipping to me. The tach is 2" x 1 3/4" x 3/4" Mounting tab holes are 2 1/2" apart, 2 7/8" wide at tabs. Display digits are 3/8" tall. Over cable length is 66". There is about 12" of dual lead cable. One for spark plug sensor & one for ground. The tach can be set to read RPM's once every revolution, once every other revolution or twice per revolution. RPM display updates every second. Readout is to 99,999. First picture below shows how I received unit out of package. Last picture shows tach attached to my Dodge Ram. Bike is not even close to running at this point. Also tried on lawn mower and it worked great. All you have to do is coil black lead at end of cable around spark plug wire two or three times. It doesn't even have to be grounded to read RPM's. Prices below include shipping costs. (Qty 1) First class for 17.50 to U.S. (Qty 2) First class for 32.50 to U.S. (Qty 1) 2-3 day priority for 20.00 to U.S. (Qty 2) 2-3 day priority for 34.50 to U.S. (Qty 1) First class for 18.50 to Canada. (Qty 2) First class for 33.50 to Canada. (Qty 1) 6-10 day priority for 26.00 to Canada. (Qty 2) 6-10 day priority for 40.50 to Canada. I can get two units in first class mailer and 4 units in small priority box. I would recommend priority mailing. The packaging will be better, I can use USPS supplied box. And it is much quicker and I can get a USPS tracking number. I have recently seen first class mail take almost two weeks transit time. U.S. shipping is to lower 48 states. If you want one or more of these please respond to this thread, or you can PM me.

    I believe I have a spare boost sensor I can get you. Shipping cost only. Sensor is off of an 88, but the parts fiche shows the same part # for the 83 & 88 so it should be OK. On my 83 all 4 bibs on intake manifolds are capped. What would be helpful is to know model # of your CDI. Just in case a previous owner changed it out. The 83 ran from a port just above throttle plates. 84 and later ran from intake boot port. Attached is a picture of my 83 carb rack, throttle cable side, showing black rubber hose that goes to boost sensor. Gary
