We're doing a ride Saturday Bob...

Yes that does sound like the clutch slipping. With that low miles, I'm wondering if someone put the wrong oil in it. The Venture has a "wet" clutch and if someone puts in any oil with friction modifiers or any additive it's bye bye clutch and friction discs. There is a heavy duty clutch disc available from Yamaha. There is also a couple of aftermarket pressure plate mods that make the clutch stronger. There is the stronger PCW spring, and Barnett makes a nice pressure plate assembly. Rebuilding/replacing the clutch is an easy job and there is a great write up with pictures in the technical, library. Just putting in the PCW spring may fix the problem good enough but you may want to consider replacing the clutch with the larger area one and replace the friction discs as well. You can reuse the metal plates between the discs as long as they don't look "blue" from excessive heat...

We all had a spectacular day!! There is plans for another ride Saturday!! Try to make it!!!

Yup! If I had the extra money I'd be interested...

I'm interested in the rotor covers!! I'm sure the armrests will go in a heartbeat too!!

Gee, I wonder why I can't stand or want any part of New York City...

OK then yes, your fuel pump may be wimping out. Does the pressure feel like around 7 psi or so??

Good deal! Some of that aftermarket bling is worth a pretty penny, like those chrome air intake grills! Enjoy the ride!!

With the end of every chapter there is a new one started...

His Mama didn't raise no fool, eh?!!?

Hmmm, can we volunteer to help drive the Urals for those 15,000 miles???

Hmmm, clogged fuel filter? Try the finger thing on the fuel pump to see if it acts the same. If not, i.e. takes several clicks to make it quit, then you have a pressure drop across the filter...

Uhhh, I'm thinking you won't want his bike after Robin puts it where she said she would... :banana:

Also, I know this sounds stupid but, make sure the volume control didn't accidentally get turned down all the way. Don't ask how I know this...

If the sliders are stuck there is most likely more than that to fix, i.e. disassembly and soak everything and plan on replacing stuff! Maybe you can find a good bank of carbs on Fleabay...

Other than only getting low 20's for MPG when 2 up towing a trailer at 80mph, I love my Hannigan. I'm not a big fan of the riding position of the 'Wing trike...

Nah! I think it was loose battery cables...

Those pix are absolutely beautiful! Yes, sometimes a vacation using the cage is in order. Glad you two had a good time!!!

Profit is a good thing...

Cool! I worked at Bryn Mawr Hospital for a couple of years. Lived in Devon, then Berwin and finally Paoli before coming back to NY. 1st wife was from Newtown Square...

Those grills come up all the time on fleabay and are fairly inexpensive. I used to have a couple of spare ones. You shouldn't have any problems finding a replacement! We were very close to the PA border for dinner tonight,just north east of Bradford PA! Also, I lived around Philly in the late 60's/early 70's! Exactly where are you??

WOW! How easily people misinterpret things!!! Folks, having been on the 2012 committee, ALL money fronted to the IR committee is returned! We do not use the money donated to the Special Funds to fund any rally or social event! The fund is strictly for things such as flowers for funerals, people in extreme need, etc!! The money fronted to the committee is to reserve facilities, etc before the event dues are sent in. All money (and sometimes extra) is returned to the fund as soon as the registration fees come in!

Oh no! A Hardley trike...
