    All that is called for at 600 miles is an oil change, and check a few things for adjustment, etc. No real service did mine myself, and as far as the 4000 mile service, there is also mothing major that gets done. My service manager told me just change the oil and dump the rear oil as well, and save myself some money as long as it is running great and there are no abnormal noises. As far as changing the rear end oil well, there will be some metal filings, and it is not necessarily a waqste to do so, but not mandatory. Maybe hold off on the rear end until 1000 miles or so, then agsain at 4000...

    The difference is you get sandstone and Raven instead of red and Raven, and well more than $500 of extra chrome...

    That's exactly what I did! I tok a piece of 2x6 about a foot and a half long and put it into my sadlebag. Once the back tire is on the 2x6 just put your right foot on the stand and jerk up/back and it will pop right up on it... PS make sure your centerstand is well lubricated!

    Hmmmmm, I was sort of looking for the "Priceless" punchline there like in the mastercard commercials... Let's hope things stop at 3!

    Hmmmm, I have both a MK1 1st gen AND a 2nd gen. Does that make me an alpha and omega owner?!!? I do agree with the logic, as long as it doesn't lead to legalism...

    You have the right to forgive her, but by the same token she literally broke the law and by the law she should be punished!!! I'm sure if the situation were reversed you would already be in prison...

    Just wanted to pass this on, as requested. Bob, Please send an email to all the Venture riders thanking them for the lovely bouquet of flower sent for James' funneral.. Tell them I really appreciated the thoughtful gesture. Also, thanks to the men who took the time to come down for the visiting hours on the Thursday before the funeral. I will miss my riding partner as I know all of you will too. He was the best. Alice

    Ask Mother, he will agree, a corkscrew is an absolute "Must Have" on the bike! A 10mm 1/4" drive socket and ratchet for getting the seat off!! Yes, a good set of metric ball allen drivers is a must! Open end wrenches or combination wrenches screwdrivers, pliers, multi tools Vice grips for just in case along with a crescent wrench Electrical tape, duct tape Knife Crimping tool and assortment of connectors and wire and, a good first aid kit!!!!!!!

    Actually, the stator fix came mid '84. Used ones can usually be bought for around $25, and the higher output aftermarket ones go for around $130 give or take. As long as it starts and runs and doesn't leave a trail of smoke, jump on it if it is a good price. A good price would be around $3000 give or take...

    I kind of expected you would see a bulge in the top where the electrolyte blew out. Just hope the circuit breaker kicked in before the motor windings fried...

    Really enjoyed the second video too, Rockin' The Beer Gut!!! Like everyone else, I see the sad truth in the video...

    it's probably blown! If you had an old analog meter you could put the leads on the cap one way, and reverse the leads and watch the meter. You should read infinity ohms both directions, but when you reverse the leads you should read zdero for a split sec`ond and watch the meter rise to infinity. The capacitor is needed to start the motor, and from what you are describing, it bit the big one...
