wow... thanks for the great info. I'm ok at re-soldering so I think I should be good to go after a little work here. Silly Question.... Where is the TCI case? -
my 86 is being cranky again... Went to start her up and she didn't want to start. Finally started but wasn't running so hot. Noticed the RPM gauge was at dead zero and not even twitching. when I rev it... the RPM gauge takes a second but finally comes up. I took it for a quick spin and even at higher speeds it's bogging with out much power and also when it does bog... the RPM gauge goes back to zero like the bike is off. Then the RPM gauge will come back and it runs normal again. Kinda goes back and fourth from running fine to no RPM's and not running fine. HELP!!!! my baby is sick! hahaha... thanks in advance!

I live in Georgia (gainesville area) and my brother who I have not seen in almost two years lives in Michigan. I got a text from him on the 4th saying to make surer I was off on Thursday and Friday because he would see me later that night. WOW! What a great surprise. Come to find out, he and his wife were on the bike and made the 780 mile trip down in one day. After mapping out some trips, and after some much needed rest, we set out for one heck of a great ride. We rode the blue ridge parkway, all around the foothills in Helen, GA and Blairsville Etc and made it all the way up to the Virginia line. The scenery was wonderful and since I have lived here for almost 11 years now, this was the first time I had ever riden with my brother. What an awesome time. Took many, many pics which I wll upload soon and I hope to be ridiong mine up to michigan in fall. Although, I don't think I'll plan to do it in one day. I of course was riding my '86 venture and he was on his '04 venture. We turned some heads and got penty of compliments when we stopped. just thought I'd share our good time. Maybe some of you guys are close here in Georgia and week and plan a meet and eat. Take care, Jay

Drilling Stock Mufflers

hmmmmmm... anyone know if this will work on my 86 1st Gen? My outlets have turn downs with a spring holding them in place... at least I think. I've never tried to remove the spring andf see if the turn downs slide off. Any thoughts? Thanks! Jay -
Speedo Calibration???
86venturejay replied to 86venturejay's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Coffeepot, I thought (or was hoping) the exact same thing. I put my dail face on it and it's close to accurate but we went for a ride to my mothers house to say hi yesterday and clocked 50 miles and it's actually closer to 30. It seems the Odometer will always be off without changing the gearing inside the spedo and that doesn't look so easy. I would defianately be willing to "swap" with you. I'll pay shipping for mine you pay shipping for yours? Sounds like we have the answer to both our problems. The speedo works perfectly. I greased it up before I installed it and it seems to run very smooth. Give me a shout over PM or call me @ 678-977-8199. Thanks! Jay -
I was in need of a new Speedo and I found a whole dash assembly on an ebay auction that I won for $32.00. WOW cheap right?? Yeah I thought so too but there was one draw back. The speedo was a KPH speedo and not a MPH speedo. It was so cheap, I decided to go ahead and get it anyway with the thoughts of maybe switching out the face of the speedo with my old face so the MPH would be the larger numbers. I tried this and unfortunately, the Speedo is off by about 5-7 MPH when check via GPS. Looks for now that I'll have to put the original KPH face back on and just deal with looking at the smaller numbers for MPH. My question is this, will this throw off the actual mileage of the bike (i rolled the dials of new speedo to match my mileage) even though I'll be driving following the MPH numbers on the dial. Just not sure if the mileage will tick by faster or slower since it's a KPH speedometer. Also, is there a way to calibrate this speedometer to match my MPH dial and to have the odometer roll for mileage and not kilometers? Thanks guys and gals! Jay Hope
