    While I am not a guru on this I have been around MANY Ventures and NONE have needed rejetting.Its actually laughable in my opinion to do so. Bottom line is..You will use more fuel,NO MORE ZIP AT ALL. My friend rejetted his and has NEVER gotten it right since,but he gets 25 MPG! Oh Yea..we stay neck to neck in all gears.The only way to get it to run better in my opinion is IF you could get more air to it then rejetting MAY help.V7Goose can answer more eloquently than I.

    My personal opinion is to get a bike, no more than 2 and help but watch at the same time.We had 4 bikes tore down and for me it was Overwhelming to say the least. Even though with the tools I think I can do it I will feel more comfortable watching and helping one more time with only 1,maybe 2 bikes tore down. A knowledgeable wrencher could probably tear his down at the same time and learn as he is watching.

    Gauges were not that long of a job,Maybe 3 hours. And yes they fit great but thats because Ponch cuts out a very nice panel to replace the cassette face. He is gonna make a fortune IF he ever starts making them for members!
  18. Tom
    I Love those gauges Brad and they fit perfect where that dad blame^%$#% cassette player WAS. To all the rest of you AFTER I get over this soreness I will explain what all you take off to get to the Valve covers and a Brief idea on the Valve adjustment. The ones wanting to come down and learn,,Well I am going to get a VERY good Motorcycle lift to where I can stand up and work on it..would be much easier! (Out of shape old fat guys need to stay off the floor for extended periods) Of course would have to get our resident wrenchers also but they are cheap help..one survives on beer,the other Salsa/roast beef and potatoes and a little Advil.

    OK,a few watched the post "Member in need of Help" where we helped out a Member from Utah with a shock problem and figured out fast we had somthing going on..Well We did! Ponch and BuddyRich cooked up an idea to get together at my house for an "Adjust Valves learning seminar maintenance day" We had this Grand Idea if we took 4-5 members and taught them how to adjust valves we could spread our knowledge with everyone else at Mini Maintenance Days in the future. Well,V7Goose Myself ,Ponch,Gunboat and GuthDaddy tackled into it. It was a successful learning experience.I now know how to adjust the valves on a 2nd Gen. I also know I am not as young as I thought I was, and seeing my bike torn down was a very TRAUMATIC experience to say the least. Also, I learned before I do it again I WILL buy a Motorcycle Jack that I can drive onto and lift it to where I can stand up and work on it! We did 4 bikes and took from daylight till dark..hope BuddyRich made it home OK. The other thing I learned is I can't see as good as I thought I could! Anyway,Thanks To BuddyRich for the special tool and expert help,V7Goose and the rest for everything. A special thanks to Ponch for making a set of gauges to put in place of my cassette player..I now have a Temp Gauge, Oil Pressure gauge and a Volt meter where the cassette player WAS! V7Goose...thanks for showing me how to set my floats..it sure is running great! 2.5 cases of beer,1/2 gallon of salsa, a case of gatorade,100 gallons of water, couple gallons of tea and 8 bottles of ALEVE was all it took to make it thru OK! Tom Next to last Picture,Goose in a heavy conversation about the Venture front forks...Last picture ONE of my dogs trying to find the squirrel that just ran up that darn tree"Im gonna get that Squirrell" little did it know it was on the other side of the tree getting an acorn out of that hole! NOTE,ADDED 2 Pictures of the Gauges at the last. Tom
