    Agreed! As oil ages with use it's viscocity deteriorates rendering it pretty much useless as a lubricant...

    Good Friday morning faithful foillowers of foolishness, fear not, for today's frivolous fantasy is forthcoming!! As we last left Bongo he was being followed by an odd charactor in an antique blue French convertable. As Bongo was about to leave Lt Palumbo in the dust in the middle of nowhere the good Lt. was pulled over by the NY State Troopers. It seemed that he was in violation of DOT and DEC regulations from all the blue smoke coming from his automobile as well as a foul odor from his cigar and possibly his self from not bathing for several days due to staking out the Bongo residence. Officer, I am Lt. Palumbo and you just interupted a survelance operation I was conducting. A likely story, the Trooper responded. Let me see your licence, registration, and proof of insurance, and keep your hands where I casn see them. Hey! That cigar! It doesn't happen to be from Cuba, is it? Why yes, I did buy it from a drug store in Cuba N.Y. the Lt responded, along with some cheese from the Cuba Cheese factory. The Trooper heard the "Yes it is from Cuba..." and drew his service revolver. All right, out of the car, you're under arrest for possession of contraband! Meanwhile Bongo seized the opportunity and proceeded to the store for the supplies he needed for the Maintenance Day project he was working on before he left town. The actual construction will take months, Bongo thought, but it will be worth it for the surprised and perplexed look on Freebird's face among the laughs and jeers of fellow Ventureriders when the event finally unfolded. Little did Bongo know that there were other more sinister plots formulating by other people as well... Will Lt Palumbo ever straighten out the mess he is in? Will Bongo complete his project by June? Just how many plots are happening? Will any secrets be revealed in chat?? Stay tuned for further episodes of AS THE WHEELS TURN!!!

    Fleabay, I bought a set of 4 relays, used, for around $30 with the shipping...

    No, it is not the starter relay or starter solenoid as it is also called. It is sort of in front of the coolant overflow tank mounted on the metal frame that holds the coils. It has a rubber mounting device that hooks onto a metal tab on that shiny metal bracket. The easiest way to access it is remove the 2 metal battery side covers, and then the front plastic center cover that the side covers plug into. The side covers only need one of the 2 allen bolts removed, the other one is a "dummy" screw that merely screws into the cover itself. There is one bolt per side on the bottom of the center cover to remove it. You will also have to unhook the rear coil wires from the plastic retainer in the center of the front cover. Your problem is not necessarily the relay assembly like mine was, but what happened with mine when the cover melted is that the relay contact that has the red/black wire shorted to ground. You may have a short in the red/black line anywhere giving the same symptoms. You can try unplugging the relay assembly and see if the red lights go out when you do. If it does, your problem is most likely the assembly. If the red lights are still on then you have a short somewhere in the red/black line... The relay assembly actually has 2 relays inside the black box and a dropping resistor for the lights as well.

    Hmmmm, my 2nd gen list... Progressive springs in front. Replace wimpy front brake system witrh 14mm master cylinder and R1 Gold dot calipers. Install auxillary Carbon1 gas tank and use my Carbon1 lift adapter. Install new Flanders bar and longer throttle cables. Replace spark plugs. Oil change. Replace driving lights with LED units. Add more bling...

    Good Morning everyone, hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!! Without any further adu here is today's installment of AS THE WHEELS TURN! After enjoying a fantastic family style Thanksgiving and being told of all the events he had missed and the strange detective that had visited, Bongo decided to contact his friends in law enforcement. First call was to Big Tom to see if he had any inside information on any legal proceedings related to the case of the mysterious free pizza and boxes, or of the new donut holes popping up all over the nation. Big Tom had no information but said he would have to call him back later as he was right in the middle of installing a sink in his kitchen. He next called Spanky, but didn't get an answer. He then called Buffalo Bodner snd during the conversation he mentioned trying to get ahold of Spanky but no answer. Bodner mentioned that he and Big Tom and Hoffy were all trying to contact him as well for quite some time now. It seems as if Spanky has dropped off the face of the Earth he replied. Very strange!! Once he got off the phone, it was time to go out to the store for some supplies. As he was leaving he noticed a strange old foreign car, a blue Pugeot convertable with a strange looking individual wearing a rather wrinkled trench coat. He was watching Bongo as he left and began to follow. Hmmm, thought Bongo, I have a rather speedy car, I can loose this clown and come back home and park my car at the neighbors place. He drove in the opposite direction from where he had planned to go. After making a couple of turns to make sure he was being followed, it was time for the great chase to begin. As he was ready to make his break for it he heard sirens in the background. Oh, crap!! What could it be this time??? What indeed is it this time? Where is Spanky?? Will Bongo ever get his much needed supplies?? How long will the leftover turkey last?? Stay tuned for further developments on AS THE WHEELS TURN!

    No, never used it but it seems to be just another non-permanment thread locker like loctite...

    OK word of warning, these bikes are top heavy. Do not expect to be able to maneuver them like a Harley on an obstacle course! The Barons lowering kit actually helps them maneuver in parking lots better besides lowering the bike for vertically challenged individuals. TheRSV is designed to be a touring bike, and an extremely comfortable one at that! The price, considering the detail and condition, is not unreasonable but not the deal of the century. There was a lot more aftermarket bling for the RSV that it does not have...
