1st Gen MkI vs MkII
CrazyHorse replied to CrazyHorse's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Theres really nothing to tune except good plugs and wires maybe. -

On my dash headlght warning lamp (the white one) is always on the headlight bulb is fine. Is this supposed to be on all the time or does it indicate a problem? What do I need to look for to fix it? Thanks Jim. -
I purposely let my bike run out of fuel on the regular fuel petcock setting. I wanted to see how much fuel it would take. I filled up and noticed it only took 4.3 gallons arent these supposed to be 5.3 gallons with a 1.06 reserve or am I misreading it and the total capacity is 5.3 which includes the 1 gal res? (Though 6 gallons seems like alot for 1990.)

My question for you hardcore knowledge guys. What makes the 83-85 faster? I'm looking at the carbs the only difference I know of 83 carbs had 42.5 pilot jets a 180 air jets all the rest of the years have 84-93 have 37.5 pilots and 170 air jets. So does that mean 84-85 are slower the 86-93? I read something about possible hotter cam. Slightly lighter weight 83-85 then 86-93. 86-93 has 100 more CC's. So whats the deal? (I put the original pilot and air jets in my 90 from 83 I gotta say I like it no more popping actually get a noticeable rpm change when adjusting pilot mixtures.)

Am I nuts or what?
CrazyHorse replied to algie1100's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Yes you cant add air to a Royal. Depending how heavy you are running 0-0 air might be a little squirrely feeling. I would turn up the rear damper on the left side to 4 near the rear passanger foot rest. Should be Ok. I ran 0-0 after my rebuild after my crash felt a little less solid handling not as sure footed but I'm 602 275lbs being lighter might be less of an issue. -
MikeM out of Florida had a nice set up check his out. Ive thought about doing this but I like having the CB need to figure out how to get that to work if I replace the radio.

My crystal ball says a modern looking 3rd Gen is in the not very far in the future. The old school look (2nd Gen) is a fading with the chopper look etc. They had a good run but the sun is going to set on that style. I've been wrong before I'm having a hard time waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting..................

Thank you Squeeze. -
Probably right why would anyone want a CD changer on a bike these days when you can have a little MP3 player the size of a credit card hold 2000 songs.

Another Whine
CrazyHorse replied to hdroyer's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Thats what I'm figuring its just an annoying noise that I'd like to get rid of. I'm hoping its not a cracked or broken driveshaft. -

I run max pressure both tires (Avons) no problems. -
The only problem is there is a minor disagreement about styling what we would like the final product to look like. Some of us like the 1st Gen look :225: and some of us like the old school look.
