    I bought my gaskets from Yamaha dealer. They were about $13 each.

    More like the Borg from Star Treck. We already have people with bluetooth stuck in their ear 24/7 and now this.

    And the cassette player?

    Funny because I read about him just a few days ago in the Kitchener/Waterloo Record. Now I see it here. I wish him a safe and fun trip.

    Honda had the V45 Sabre in 1982. It was a 750cc V4 so Honda released a V4 a year before Yamaha. Yamaha's first V4 was the 1983 Venture.

    Good read. Would be interesting to see what these bikes would be like today. With only 12 complete bikes built, I'd love to have one. Has to be worth a fortune.

    Actually it would be the other way around. The first year for Vmax was 1985 and the Venture was using the 1200 V4 in 1983.

    He's in PEI. If he makes it to 3rd gear he'll run out of island.

    The fact that I have time to look around for Ventures tells you how hard I work too. :rotfl:I've actually seen quite a few Ventures around the KW area. Wonder how many are members here. Guess my next question would be who's the 85 at the corner of Guelph and Maple, Kitchener?

    Could be. I'll add that it was at the Michelin dealer.

    I was driving the GRT bus through St. Jacob's Ontario on Friday. Saw a guy shining up his 2nd gen on Arthur st. Anyone from here?

    Nice job. Looks good. Ontario to Alaska. That's quite the road trip. Have fun and take care. Make sure you take lots of pictures, we'd like to see some of them.

    Exactly. Sealed bearings are greased from the factory. They come with the proper amount of grease. There is no way to grease them. The only way you can see how much grease is in them is if they are not sealed. If this is the case, they will look similar to the one I pictured above. But the black (some times other colors) plastic around both sides of the bearings won't be there. You will be able to see the individual ball bearings inside. This type do need to be greased. http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd318/elagyrrep/detail_374_nr6.gif In this picture. The bearing at the back (with red) is a sealed bearing. This does not need to be greased. The front bearing is a non-sealed bearing, it needs grease.

    You're talking about this type of bearing? Just install them and use them. No need to greese. http://www.princessauto.com/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/3850633.jpg

    I never even thought of that. Will give it a try. Thanks.

    The seat on my MK1 is faded. Does anyone know what can be used to restore it to it's original black? Something that won't rub off on clothing.

    Goldwing or BMW 1200LT
  19. elag
    Yes. Way too much of that going on lately. Wish people would pay attention when their driving. Seems that people do everything but drive when they're behind the wheel.
  20. elag
    Bet the driver was texting.
  21. elag
    I've seen lots of these ads. Ventures, Harleys, Goldwings. You name it, prices are always unbelievable. I smell a scam.

    If you go down. This air bag would give a whole new meaning to "tuck and roll".

    computer ???

    elag replied to jonesy's topic in Watering Hole

    Yes it can. But if your processor requires 333Mhz or faster front side bus. It won't run at full speed (pc2100 is 266Mhz and pc2700 is 333Mhz) and it will only run at the speed of the slowest dim when different speeds are installed. If you have a 266Mhz or slower FSB then you won't have any issues running both at the same time. What processor do you have?

    Problem with that theory is, I've never seen a tire rot before it's worn out anyway. Maybe if the vehicle is stored for 10 or 15 years before driving, it might make a difference.

    If they don't vacuum the air out. Some simple math with tell you that it's more then a small amount of air. Atmospheric pressure is 14 PSI which is already in the tire when it is mounted. A tire inflated to 28 PSI (air guage only reads pressure above atmospheric) would have twice the amount of nitrogen as the air already in the tire. So that would work to be 30% air. So your point is valid. There is a significant amount of air still in the tire.
