A friend of mine here in Amarillo is looking for a 83-85 Venture stator cooling kit. If you have one and would be willing to part with it or know where we might find one please let me know.
Thanks,
Dean

Hi Jerry,
I have it on my Calendar and plan on being there.

I had a front wheel wobble that would occur around 40mph, usually on deceleration. I checked the air in my tires and found them a little low. Aired front and rear up to the level recommended by the tire manufacturer and that cured my wobble.
Dean
From what I have absorbed so far front wheel wobble can be caused by and corrected by addressing the following or a combination of the following:- Front wheel out of balance
- front fender brace upgrade
- tightened cinch bolts on front forks
- Furbur washer fix
- solid motor mount upgrade
Have I left anything out.
Question: Can it also be caused by unequal amounts of fork oil in each of the forks?
- Front wheel out of balance

Mine moved and I still don't like it. I have found it is easier to get rid of the chirp now if I ride what I call more aggressive by winding the engine more before shifting, by keeping the RPMs higher I have less instances of hearing the chirp. It is livable but not likable. Still the best Bike I have been on.
Guys, I know there is a lot of info on the site about the infamous "chirp" and the clutch basket changeout. What I wanted to do with this post is get some statistics to determine a percentage of success before I proceed to hassle the local dealer to change mine. Reason is, I can live with it the way it is and if all the I-basket will do for me (based on the odds) is to move the chirp/whine to a different RPM range, I won't bother.So, using the above poll, I hope to arrive at some sort of decision.
If you choose Other, would you kindly elaborate.
Thanks for your input.

Thanks to everyone for the responses. This is some good information and will give him some good places to start and have an idea of what is a good price.

My brother has been researching motorcycles to buy and has just about decided to buy a new RSV. Does anyone know where the best deal can be made, dealers here want full list price. Would appreciate any input on possibilities.
Thanks,

Put me down for a set. I am needing a set so might as well get the good stuff! Also what happened to the auto mute thingy that was supposed to be available about a year ago. Any word on that?
Dean
OK folks...some of you may remember that last fall I had posted my plans to do a group purchase of Edset's Headsets. After he told me that he was coming out with a new Third Generation product, I decided to wait.Not only that but to be honest, I've tried a lot of headsets. J&M high and low ends, AirRider which are considered high end and EXPENSIVE, etc. etc. Regardless of if I paid a LOT or just a little, I have never been happy with what I got. So, I have really been on the fence about spending $200.00 for another set that would leave me wanting more.
Last week I broke down and ordered a set of Edset's. They came in yesterday and I found time to put them in today. I've got to tell you folks, I think we have a winner. These have the best sound that I have heard from any that I've tried. Bass is pretty good and the music is very clear. Haven't tried them yet for communications but to be honest, that was the least of my concern. I've found that most are fine for communications. He did tell me that the biggest complaint that he gets from new customers is that the mic is sensitive and he has to explain to people that you need to turn down your intercom with these because they don't require the volume that others do.
Now here is what I REALLY like about these. They are completely modular. If a speaker goes bad, you unplug and replace it. If the mic goes bad, you unplug and replace it. All connectors for the upper and lower cords are gold plated also. But what I REALLY like is the fact that on the back of the module is a 1/8" speaker jack. You can even buy these without speakers if you want to and plug your earbud speakers into the module. I bought the speakers but also plan to try them with some good earbud speakers. I think it will work GREAT. You can also plug an IPOD or other MP3 player into that same jack if you wish. These are just very versatile. That jack would be a great option for you first gen riders who don't have an auxiliary input.
So, I am planning to order another set for my wife's helmet and if there is any interest, I can put together a group purchase at this time. Price will depend upon what you want but the set I bought for an open face helmet with RCA microphone, speakers and speaker pouches came to about $210.00. I think I could get that down to about $180.00 plus shipping if I order 10 or more sets. I would have them all shipped to me and I would cover that shipping. Then to you would probably be about $7.50 or so in the USA. I will have to get a shipping price for Canada.
So...if you are interested... now is the time to speak up.

Contact Buddy Rich on this site with a PM, I bet he can get you fixed up with one. The cable connects your GPS to the sound system so you can talk thru the mic of the headset over the phone. Works really great. I hooked mine up inside the fairing, simple and clean process, you need to connect the audio output as well, I put mine in the Aux connector to the Tape Aux port inside the fairing. Makes bluetooth, mp3 and all the noise features of the Zumo available to the sound system. You can hear thru the headset or Bike speakers.
Hi guys I read where you are using your bluetooth through your headset using Buddyrichs cable ....What/where would i get one .I have been trying to figure this out for months Thanks Colin -
You probably haven't had a problem because of the folders, it was taking 6 minutes to open up with all the songs in one folder, I split them into folders with 50 songs and it took about 45 seconds to open, splitting them further to 25 max left me with the about 20 seconds boot time.
Glad you got it worked out!Guess I've been lucky so far. I updated to 3.8 the day after it came out. I haven't seen any problems yet, but I've only used it a few times since upgrading. I'm showing just under 750 songs in 38 folders. The folders have anywhere from 4 to 71 songs in them. I use the bluetooth abilities along with BuddyRich's cable so I can use the phone through the headset.
At least 'll know where to look if I start having problems.
Thanks for the heads up.

Had problems with my Zumo after I "Upgraded" to the new 3.8 Software Version. After about 2 weeks fighting it, contacting Garmin and consulting the Zumo Forum (http://www.zumoforums.com) I finally got it working normal again and I am a happy Camper. The solution was found thru the forum and not Garmin support. I wanted to share with you because I know many use the Zumo and it may keep you from stressing out for 2 weeks like I did on the problem.
After Installing the 3.8 Software and adding new songs to my SD card for a total of 650 songs I started having problems.
Problem 1: Occasionally I would get a screen saying Updating Bluetooth and would have to shut the Zumo Down and start it back up to get going. Bluetooth would connect to my phone but would disconnect within 30 seconds, I would have to go to the settings and select the phone connection again then it would go thru the cycle again.
Problem 2: When turning the Zumo on, it would go thru the bootup screens, etc and when you select view map it would take 6 minutes for the map to display on the screen, the MP3 player would not list the songs on the zumo until after the map was displayed.
Solution to Problem 1: Removed the new version 3.0 bluetooth software, downloaded the previous 2.4 version and installed it as per this forum link: http://www.zumoforums.com/index.php?topic=3598.0
Solution to Problem 2: Reorganized my music files into folders with no more than 25 songs in a folder. I originally had all the songs (650) in 1 folder. This is what was causing the delay in displaying the map. This forum link explains the problem and give pointers on how to fix it. http://www.zumoforums.com/index.php?topic=3268.0

I bought the Gloves and Socks. My Gloves take 4AAs, Socks Take D. I haven't tried them out yet.
I'm missing something. You say they take a single D. DT and also their website link above say they take four AAs. Did you get different gloves? Or are the four AAs run in parallel and you modifed them to take a single D instead?
Fill me in a little bit please. -

That house has some fine looking bones. Bet it will be a grand home when it is finished. Wish I were closer where I could help.

Yep, that would be much better. Too late, sent check already....

What a loss, gonna take a while to recover from that.

Hey, Thanks Jerry! I've been looking for one of these. Just put in a bid......
Now if everyone else will leave it alone I might just win.

Ruffrider,
I was in Jacksonville this fall when the Jaguars whipped up on the Houston Texans, that was a great game. I got to see it from about the 50 yard line. Good team, I'd like to see them play the Cowboys!
What you guys fail to realize that although the numbers werent spectacular, this is two very good teams and playoff games usually end very close or are a complete blowout. What I see is a Jaguar team that after a few years of carosel quarterbacks, have finally settled on Garrard who, by the way is the the third ranked QB in the NFL right now. And we also have two of the best running backs in Fred Taylor and Maurice Drew. The offensive line is fimally jelling. And I believe that the Jags ran all over the Colts last year, so even elite teams screw up from time to time. Its time to give the Jags some well deserved respect. Win or lose, we are proud of our team. -
I contacted Hipshot (jt) and asked if a benefit fund had been set up for Rattlesnake. He said after a few threats he was able to get the informaiton out of Ron.
I remember when I was a kid we lost everything we had to a fire right after Christmas. That was really rough, I remember my folks telling me some people made donations to buy us clothes and some Christmas, being the oldest of 6 kids at the time it really moved me to see someone helping us out.
If you would like to make things go a little easier for the Ron Nelson family a fund has been established here is the information:
First National Bank of Refugio
Ron Nelson benefit fund
acct.#1662
Refugio Texas 78377
phone number to the bank, is 1 361 526 2361.
I know any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dean

What a tragedy. Including all in our prayers, including Squidley and Lonna. If there is something we could help with let us know. Has a fund been set up? Sometimes whenn all is lost a fund is setup with a local bank. If there is I would be happy to contribute since I won't be able to go down and help with the carpentry work.
We have lots of prayers to send...a lot have been coming our way. You all are in our thoughts, just ask if there is anything we can do. -
My Dad got a new laptop for Christmas with Vista, he didn't like it so I loaded XP on it. I booted the computer to the XP install disk, wiped out the partitions on the drive and created one large partition and one small one, formatted them and installed XP. It works fine. Word of warning though, you need to make sure you download the XP drivers for your computer before you do the install, you will need at least the Video, Sound and any other perpherials that come with your computer. You can usually go to that computer's website and find all the XP drivers you need.
It's a pain changing and learning a new operating system. I didn't like Vista either. XP is really fase on his laptop with 2gb memory.
Good Luck!
Dean
I just found a site that gives step by step on how to install XP on a puter that came with Vista.http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/install-windows-xp-on-your-pre-installed-windows-vista-computer/
