    Well, there ARE O-Rings under the anti dive that thru the years have formed a "set" and are now flat rings, not o-rings. Carl is correct, they probably don't leak and may be OK, but they could eventually leak, and we are only talking 2 allen screws to take them out and replace the o-rings...

    You are correct, and I was TERRIBLY rude to you, and I publicly apologise! I got a little confused with who posted what and who was having what problem. My point was that for both the headlight and the tail light indicators, the circuit works the same way. They are current sensing circuits and monitor the amount of current that the bulbs are drawing. This is done via a shunt resistor which develops a voltage proportional to he curent being drawn. the more the current draw, the more voltage developed across this shunt, the happier the differential comparater is . just like the battery acid circuit, as long as the input voltage is greater than on the other side of the comparater the light and indicator stays off less voltage and the circuit trips and sends the signal to the appropriate indicator and also supplies pulsing voltage for the red light. In the case of the taillights, if one bulb is out, it draws half the current, so the circuit sees only half the voltage, and trips the indicator. OK enough of the technical stuff. Here's what the problem(s) could be. If you have some corrosion or dirt on the connector, you will loose a smal amount of voltage across it, and the light will still light but not draw as much current, triggering the indicator. Also, if the bvulb isn't the same type as the original, it may draw less current and trigger the indicator. Drawing more curent than the original, or adding extra bulbs, does nothing as with more bulbs or heavier draw, MORE voltage across the shunt, no indicator. I suppose there is also a possibility that the reserve lighting module is also messing up things! Once again Monty, sorry for being so rude last night, I was way out of line!

    OK after struggling for days trying to get my new brake system primed and bled, I broke down and bought a Mighty Vac. A couple of squeezes and fluid was a flowin'!! Once the system was primed I was able to finish the job with the speed bleeders, and finally, I have brakes again!!!:sign woo hoo:

    As far as the headlight indicator, what we are TRYING to tell you is 6that both taillights have to be connected AND working for the circuit to work right. It is a curent sensing line and needs to be drawing the right amount of current to work. What I meant by your 6.24 volts you were reading is that it may have been COMING from the CMS and I wanted you to disconnect the CMS and see if the voltage was still on the line when NOT connected to the CMS...

    Unplug the CMS and see if thazt 6.24 volts is still there, betcha it won't be!! I'm, thinking that the voltage you are seeing is coming from the CMS but I could be wrong. I/'m thinking that may be a threshold voltage that has to see more than that level to cancel?? Try cleaning the probe. It may be gooked up and never senses the battery acid abd in turn never sees the voltage level

    Maybe because they were Canadians???

    Very impressive!! You are the second person I've seen to relocate the Yamaha badge to the air intake area. Like the usde of chrome instead of the pinstripe...

    Hey ,how come you don't ride with us on weekends?? This is really funny, because the part Don is getting for the dash is coming from here! Make sure you make the Pioneer Motorsports ride for Breast Cancer on the 16th. We're right around the cornewr and will have coffee for Ventureriders in the AM...
  9. bongobobny
    Hmmm, thought YOU were the one who told me they didn't quite fit. I have a spare if you want to try it out when you're down on the 16th for Michelle's Breast Cancer ride. How's the regulator coming??
  10. bongobobny
    Kind of a tough choice but for me, a no brainer, the Venture! It's purely whichever you feel most warm and fuzzy on...
  11. bongobobny
    On Saturday the 16th Pioneer Motorsports is having a ride for Breast Cancer! It's right around the corner from us. Several Ontario riders will be down for this, and you are welcome to stop in and meet up!! Info in the rides and rallys forums, under other events...

    Looks pretty organized to me. Now, invite Big Tom over to help you on your scoot and I'll show you a mess...

    OK the EAD is fired by a relay that is triggered by the brake light switch. The brake light switch supplies the ground. Does that help you out??
  15. bongobobny
    I'm in the same boat as Mi Carl is, have a spare that "Should" be good... It's out of an '85.
  16. bongobobny
    Hey Craig, is that the same one that was bought by a new member in Reading?? He just bought it and posted pictures... Never mind, I reread the thread by 66Impala and it's a 90 and he has to fly out to Ilinois to pick it up. Oops...
  17. bongobobny
    Great news, Bob!! Hope you have many many happy miles together with the new scoot!

    Terriffic time!! Canadians had us outnumbered two to one!! Food was terriffic!! Friendship and fellowship, priceless!! We have 99 Silver (Gary and Leslie) and Mother and OMG staying over this morning. We had a super time! Thanks for posting pictures, Spanky, I'm gonna look at them right now!

    Awww, man , you're makin me blush!! The things I do I do in the name of Jesus, who alone is worthy of praise. He is the one who came into my life and made me into the person I am today. So give HIM the praise!! You are very welcome, Steve, and thanks for helping me clean out the surplus in my spare parts bin (Shed!!)

    Hmmm, left hand, clutch... Hondamatic???
  21. bongobobny
    Oh, wel, not going to be the most stellar weather this weekend anyway... Just glad to see you make it either way!!
  22. bongobobny
    Condor could send yours to me and you could pick it up later at a M&E or something...
  23. bongobobny
    I just posted a link to the restaurant's website in the M&E forum...
  24. bongobobny
    Yup, several of us have contributed that way...
  25. bongobobny
    Yup! Clutch lever minus brass bushing and used top diaphragm will be in he mail shortly...
