    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?
  3. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request

    Better now?

    Am I one of those folks that has been 'pretty good' or is my signature too expansive?

    On my signature, I actually have three images; the Big Red One, the US map and the Canadian map. The Big Red One image came from my computer, but the two maps come from my photobucket account. I did this before the change, so I am not sure how to replicate if needed. Hopefully, won't have to...unless of course, I chalk up more States and Provinces.

    Excellent tip! I had not realized that capability was there all along. Learn something new every day. Thanks.

    I had SBS 613HS sintered pads in the stock calipers on my 1990. If I jumped on both brakes, as in a emergency stop, the front wheel would lock up. Never having locked up the front wheel before, no matter the braking effort, I was understandably quite surprised. No harm the first time and I didn't encounter another emergency braking situation again until the guy cut me off in Ohio. As I counter-steered to the left and applied full braking, the front wheel locked up and down we went.

    If it were me, I would leave the EAD in place on the forks and just electrically unplug them. The solenoids are deactivated and the spool valve is open at rest, with no oil control or electrical load.

    I lost my virginity last night on chat. Thanks Jeff and Rodney (and Tooch watched).
  19. Prairiehammer
    Also check for leaks on the solenoid valve bodies and in general all around on the compressor/valve assembly.

    Thank you, Pat for your submission. A copy has been sent to you.

    Thanks for your contribution, Ian. Curiously, I found that I had already entered your bike's VIN. I had no comments attached to that entry, so I can not tell where I got it, but I did note that it was in Australia. Yes, you are correct about your bike being intended for the Canadian destination market, however, your Venture is a 1991, not a 1990. The build date is interesting. a build date in June for any year Venture has not been noted prior to your submission. If the build date on yours is truly 06/90, it would confirm my hypothesis that the Canadian bikes were built prior to the US bikes for any particular year. Does your Venture have a factory paint scheme? There was no blue in the 1991 US Venture line (although, the 'black' 1991 Venture was called by Yamaha 'New Black Blue'. An intriguing possibility that the 1991 Canadian Ventures had a different color than the US versions. Ian, if you desire a copy of this database to date, please PM your email address and it will be sent post haste.

    A snippet from the Yamaha Service Manual: Note that the maximum (manually adjusted) is even more at 21 psi. Unless you replace the front stock (undoubtedly fatigued) springs with Progressive®, I would experiment with the higher pressures. The OEM front forks are notorious for bottoming out when too little air is used. In your situation, I would consider using Progressive springs AND air.
  23. Prairiehammer
    Paul, you might be thinking of the fork pressure maximum for the Second Gen. On the First Gen, Yamaha says the maximum is 21 psi on the front forks. The auto setting on High will go to 17 psi, but you can put up to 21 psi into the front forks when using the Manual setting.
  24. Prairiehammer
    Have you checked the O-rings on each collar that is on the fork tubes?

    Not a problem with the ones that run the 'site', problem with the host, IXHosting.
