  1. Yep, I bought the Fram and Bosh, I topped the engine off with oil and everything is fine. That's the good thing about this site Freebird, if you have a problem, someone, somewhere will give you advice or suggestions and yes, "let the buyer beware" but I have had nothing but great feedback over the years. Maybe someday I can get to your meeting in Ohio and meet some of the fine people that ride and contribute to this site. God bless.
  2. Fellows, I have tried the PL 14612 & 14610 and the threading does not work on my bike. Im leaving for the store now to buy a Bosh 3323 and hope it works. I have oil on my garage floor from leaks, trying to get a filter that works. If the Bosh does not work Im putting it on the trailer to carry it to the Yamaha dealer to find out if it stripped out (I doubt it), I have changed my own oil since I bought it many years ago.
  3. I have not been on the site for awhile, need help. What oil filter are you using and what oil do you use? I was using a 80/20 blend, Walmart has just about changed or dropped everything here in Zebulon, NC
  4. Never met you and haven't been on this site for quite some time. You must be getting crusty in your old age. Keep up the good work.
  5. Nearly ran over a full retread from a tractor trailer yesterday evening; I was on 264 East near Zebulon, NC. My left foot rest brushed it at 70 mph. Didn't ride it to work today. I'm 68 and want to be 69. I know we all have those close calls but the older I get the more I enjoy my ride but the more I realize I'm one accident away.
  6. Yesterday I changed my oil and tried to install a new L14610 Purolator oil filter. Could not make it screw on unless I forced it. Went to Walmart and bought another one; the same thing happened. I put my old Purolator oil filter (L14610) back on. Any ideas or is it I'm just unlucky? Also, what do you recommend as a backup for oil filter.
  7. Switch is on when I try to crank.
  8. I hopped on my 2005 Venture R/S today, put it in neutral, turned the key, flipped the switch and then hit the button to crank my bike. Nothing, nothing at all. The Sirius XM came on; the speedometer lights, etc came on but it didn't click or make any noise. I kept pushing the starter button and it finally kicked in. This happened to me about 5/6 weeks ago and now its done it again. Any ideas???????????????
  9. Cranked up my 2005 VR R/S in the garage and saw the low beam is not working; the high beam is okay. I guess if any of you knew me better it would be some joke about not knowing how to change a light bulb. Well, is there a trick to it; what do I have to do to get to the bulbs?:lightbulb:
  10. Didn't see me in Zebulon, NC. Maybe its too small to show.
  11. I have paypal but like some; how do I send a few dollars via paypal? If you can post his address I can send a check. Just want to help........................
  12. As most of us know, Walmart does not carry Super Tech oil filters anymore.........What is everyone using now? It looks like Purolator won out on the bid.
  13. Great group of Patriots........Been a member for years....................You get more out of it than you put in.
  14. Since Wally World cancelled the contract with Champion Lab, I have only one Super Tech st7317 left (2004 Yamaha Royal Star Venture). I went with this filter because you guys out there in Venture Rider world recommended it and you haven't steared me wrong yet. What do you recommend as a replacement for the Super Tech st7317?
  15. Anyone out there have a five pin headset they want to part with. I have a 2004 Venture R/S and too many helmets and not enough headsets. My newest helmet is a full face. Give me a price. Thanks.
  16. Bought a two piece knock-off frog toggs from Sams for under $30 and I dont have any problems with them. Actually used them today.

    Jeep owners?

    My son did a walk on on the NC State football team back in 2000, didnt have anything red, so I ordered a 2000 Jeep Wrangler; had it ever since and love it (except for the gas mileage).
  18. Now that I have the "Taylor Trailer at Atlantic Beach, I will be riding down more often; just discovered that my cover for the bike is too small and I need one to cover the "big" bike. Any ideas where I can buy one at a reasonable price ASAP?
  19. I have the 2004 RSV; I don't need it to be any higher even though I am 6-2. I have been reading the threads about the leveling links and it sounds like a good investment for my bike if it will help the handling at low speed. Does installing the links make the bike higher off the ground?
  20. Don't know you guys and gals but this is on my bucket list and if my bones can stand it I would like to join the crowd. Keep us informed.
  21. Don't know you Ponch but it looks like you got a lot of friends. Add me to the list; my prayers go out to you and the family.
  22. I read a recent thread about using car tires for the rear of their gold wings........Will this work on a 2004 Yamaha RS Venture? And why would I do this. I will be needing to replace my tires shortly and just want to know. Okay, I know someone out there has some experience with this; help me out.
  23. The thread on the rear tire for goldwings is great.....my next door neighbor runs a goldwing and now he will install a car tire when he needs to replace. My question is; will it work on my 2004 Yamaha Venture R/S? I put miles on mine; I'm retired and I support PGR, but I guess the most important thing is reliability and safety, if it works on my bike. I see the response on the Goldwing and that's great; how about some experts on my bike. Look forward to hearing from you guys. Have a safe and wonderful Labor Day.....I'll be at the beach this week (with the bike).
  24. Haven't met you but I see your footprint all over the place and it shows you are a good leader of this organization. I support your position and believe its in the best interest of the VR program that your position remain intact. If the position of not just yourself but by far the majority of the organization offends someone, then that individual can just skip that thread or, if it means that much, resign.
  25. For almost a year my battery goes down after a couple of days of not riding. I have added running lights, led tail lights, air horn, auxilary plug in and maybe a couple more items over time. I don't know whats drawing the battery down and an electrician I ain't. How can I test to see what is causing this problem?
