Dang!! We are going to be at a Trike Talk Rally in Vermont the 15th thru the 17th. Did sooo much want to do Asheville again, it was a great time!!

Tooch, send it here and I will bring it to Kitchener! Lewis, paypal just sent with my addy attached!

Better to move now in the cooler weather than in the middle of August...

Hmm, I think I know where that is gonna end up!! Hey Dingy, ever think about a tattoo??

Well, I can forgive you but I'm not too sure about that "Big Tom" fellow...

Vero Beach is a nice area, been there...

If you want to take a chance, here's a unit that may or may not work but it might help troubleshoot as to whether it is the controller or the compressor... http://www.ebay.com/itm/MH-YAMAHA-1984-XVZ12-1200-VENTURE-ROYALE-AIR-SUSPENSION-LEVELING-UNIT-/281247362853?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item417ba62f25&vxp=mtr This one looks better but more money... http://www.ebay.com/itm/1986-YAMAHA-VENTURE-ROYALE-XVZ1300-AIR-COMPRESSOR-ASSY-WITH-WIRING-HARNESS-/251364666564?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a86806cc4&vxp=mtr Another one... http://www.ebay.com/itm/1988-88-Yamaha-Venture-XVZ1300-XVZ-1300-Air-Compressor-Suspension-Pump-Actuator-/161217097397?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item258949aeb5&vxp=mtr The fact that the controller lights up and reads is actually a good sign! Other than the switches needing servicing it may be good. To service the switches disassemble the unit and you will find a rubber pad with round pucks on the bottom where the buttons come down. Clean that pad thoroughly, soap and water is permitted, or rubbing alcohol, just make sure it is thoroughly dry before reassembling. On the PC board you will see what looks like a grid where the pucks make contact when pushed. Take a pencil eraser and polish those grids and then clean with alcohol. That should do it. You can also resolder the edge connector for the main harness at this time. There is also the possibility that the PO disabled the compressor and converted the suspension to a manual system. Follow the air line from the front forks and see of you find a schrader connector. If you do, use a hand pump to fill the shocks, do NOT use an air line...

Yes, and there can also be crud under the rubber pad for the switch magnets, or for some reason no voltage to the compressor, or the solenoids could be bad, etc etc etc...

I think I recognize Carbon 1 and Joyce...

I'm thinking there ain't much hope for the red pace car one...

Yah Eck, if you want something done right, do it yourself...

Very retro!!! Looks like they found a warehouse of old 60's stock and they reinvented it...

OK sounds to me that you won't be setting around on your a$$ while you're off...

Ehhhh, enjoy a month off from work and live on disability insurance...

No, the second Gen Forum listed above this forum. Just put in a plug for your product and a link to the classified just like this thread. You can ask if there is any interest there as a lot of 2nd gen owners may not frequent the RSTD forum here, and may not pay attention to the classifieds but if they saw a thread there they might notice. You need to generate interest. Just put in enough verbiage, and present it as sort of like a poll to see if there is any interest, so that the moderators don't move it to the classifieds...

Outstanding!!! Now get that puppy running right and put some frequent flyer miles on it!!!

The AAA+RV covers all vehicles including motorcycles and I have used it for the bike when we hit a deer about 50 miles from home. The first 100 miles are free so we were delivered with the bike right into our driveway because it was Sunday, and then the following day the bike was delivered to the dealer, all for free!

You drank the wrong soft drink...

50,000 comedians out of work and look who's cracking jokes...

Lewis, hope you don't mind the extra plug... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?p=822217#post822217

MillenniuM!! No, Prairie Hammer has it correct. Now, the question of the millennium, did it start with 2000 or 2001???

Hey Coop, you may get more people to sign up for the group buy on the neck pieces if you post a thread in the 2nd Gen Venture forum seeing as they WILL fit the Royal Star Venture as well as the RSTD...

Yes Bob the neck kit!

Well then if they are the same count me in for your order...

Looks outstanding!!! You will be pleased with it! Hope to ride with you sometime! A lot of us trikers here are also members of triketalk.com. Come join us! http://www.triketalk.com/forum/
