That's better than your shirt and drawers overflowing.

What is "pinstripping"? Is that where they strip off the old "pinstripe"?

soldering LCD display

Also...look at the computer chips on the circuit board. Make sure one doesn't have a hole burned in the top of it. This happens whenever someone replaces the battery, and tries to hook the sensor wire directly to 12 volts, without using a resistor. -
I just watched it on here, and it's just a regular Youtube video...no virus.

Model by Vin ? Help Please
Monty replied to asigetic's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
You may or may not have to pull the headlight, to get the CMS out, depending on your tools. I pulled my CMS a few times, and never took my headlight out. After sitting a while, you may notice the clutch doesn't work. Bleeding it usually takes care of that problem. The bleeder is under a rubber cover near the left driver footpeg. -
We also have a Facebook group named "Ventureriders".

Reverse drill bit.

I remember that I40 was closed for a ways, west of memphis. Not sure if it still is.

At least he got the best color. He went a little too far west for me. I hope he doesn't have any trouble going that way, because there is a lot of flooding in the area he's taking.

Prayers for Gunboat

I just saw this. Glad the surgery went well, and hope the recovery is quick. -
Yes, that would help.

I didn't notice a difference in performance, but then again I wasn't paying attention to that. The bike runs great as it is. I had a Harley guy(heritage softail) catch up to me yesterday, and he said "Man, that thing is fast, isn't it?":beer: As for price, 12 ounce bottle is $9.99 at Auto Zone. Not expensive.

I like it alot! The only thing missing, is the wheelie bars. Might need those.

Don, I understand your concern, but our bikes don't have computer controlled systems. When and if we ever get fuel injection, maybe. I know my gauge isn't exactly accurate, but it usually shows 230 degrees when running down the interstate. It now hovers around 210. I can see when my fan kicks on. It will move to around 215, and then drop back, to around 205. Yesterday, it never went over 215. I think it will be ok at that temperature.

Hey Randy! We will be moving eventually. I need to work on which location I want to go, but it will be in East Tennessee. We'll probably end up living somewhere near Oak Ridge. I also need to get my house put up for sale. I am a procrastinator...lol.

I know there are mixed reviews on here, but... Friday, I changed out the coolant in my '03 RSV. When I was refilling it, I first added a half bottle of Water Wetter, that I purchased from Auto Zone. I then filled the system with a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water. We went on a good ride yesterday, and the bike is actually running 20 degrees cooler than it was. I am very happy with it. Some may say Water Wetter does nothing, but I believe what I am seeing. I have a temp gauge on my bike, and it is definitely running 20 degrees cooler. http://www.redlineoil.com/Products.aspx?pcid=10

Installing Kuryakyn ISO grips
Monty replied to alwrmcusn's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
There is a pictorial in this thread... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=28613 Worked great for me. -
First thing I would do, is unplug the connector, spray some contact cleaner on the contacts, and plug/unplug it a few times, then put some dielectric grease on the contacts, and give it a try for a bit.
