    Not being critical, just curious, but why did you pop for the 'whole shebang' when you could have bought another final drive for one third?

    I've got these 'KC Hilites' Taiwanese knock offs. They would look awesome on your RSV. And they only draw 100 watts each.

    Yes. I guess using the phrase 'post 1986' might unintentionally indicate that 1986 were not included. Perhaps 'post 1985' would be more accurate? Or '1986 and later'.

    As a First Gen rider, I have NEVER had anyone question me about it being a 'Harley'. On the other hand, some have assumed my Venture is a 'Gold Wing'. Gold Wing v. Harley. Hmmm. I honestly do not know which I want to be associated with. How about... "IT IS A YAMAHA, MORON". The frigging 'Yamaha' designation is as big as Yamaha could make it and 'gold plated' to boot.

    Yeah. Don is playing again. He calls it 'tweaking'.

    Thanks, Neil.

    For a post 1986 XVZ13, that is correct.

    Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@venturerider.org and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. This morning when I click on a pic posted in a thread, I wait for an interminable time (one minute plus) before the pic opens. Meanwhile, the little blurb in the lower left of my screen says 'waiting for Venturerider.org'. Sometimes the pic finally opens but sometimes I receive the above error message. Freebird messing with stuff again? And coincidentally, I had just modified my signature, and when I resumed surfing the threads, I encounter this error. I'm getting gun shy.

    It is a paint job. Go here for the pics while doing it: http://www.krossline.de/index.php?view=category&catid=5&option=com_joomgallery&Itemid=211

    A dirty pilot circuit may manifest that symptom, so as Yammer says, dose it with Seafoam. Other causes of the hesitation: Improper fuel/air ratio; after assuring that the internal passages and jets are perfectly clean, adjust the pilot screws. Sticky slides Pin holed diaphragms Improper carburetor synchronization.

    It is most likely a warped right rotor, but it could also be caused by oil or some other contaminant localized to a small portion of the rotor. I've experienced such a pulsing on my '83 that was from a leak of the fork seal. During a lay-up, the fork oil seeped down the lower fork leg to the axle and onto the rotor leaving a narrow streak of oily stain. Try a rigorous cleaning of the rotor with solvent. Remove the brake pads and inspect for wear and cleanliness. Perhaps, a light sanding of the pads as well. Glazed and/or oily pads sometimes cause a throbbing as well, although usually at a higher frequency.

    Now HERE is a blacked out Venture:

    Thank you, Pete. When you get a chance could you relay to me the manufacturing dates? Appreciate it. And if you would like a copy of this database, PM your email address and I will forward the latest database.

    Synergy Green? Cool! Is this Venture Synergy Green in color?
  17. Prairiehammer
    Pete, would you message me the VIN on all those Ventures? See this thread: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?89793-Seeking-1983-1993-VIN-for-a-comprehensive-database Thanks.

    Awake!? Gave me an anxiety attack.

    What spooked me was that the 404 came about right after I modified my signature (to make you happy BTW) and I thought I BROKE THE WHOLE INTERNET.
  20. Prairiehammer
    Yeah. I see it NOW. But it was gone before, then you made it come back right after I couldn't see it. Make me look foolish.
  21. Prairiehammer
    Funny. Real funny.

    Where's my avatar?

    I KNEW IT! The facebook guys (me included) were all anxious about the 404 error, and I said Don is probably messing with it.

    Suddenly, I am getting '404' errors when I try to click on any link from the main forum page. I was able to get here, but I can't get to ALL the different threads without the error: Not Found The requested URL /forum/watering-hole/40054-visited-map.html was not found on this server.
