How to fix lean surge
saddlebum replied to KoboldWrangler's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Mmmm Guess I somehow missed it. Glad you solved your issue and now I learned something new as well but not at my own expense for a change. -
How to fix lean surge

Try draining the carbs and then close the drains. Remove fuel and vent lines from the carbs shoot carb cleaner in through the supply port then in through the vent or overflow ports. Drain the carbs again and if you have air turn down the pressure right down to 5 psi and with the drains open gently blow into the supply fitting. Close the drains reconnect the hoses and go for a test ride. See if that helps. Saved pulling a few carbs doing this. There is also the hot shot method described, in the tech section, you can try. -
Post a pic of the ignitech box. The unit is more or less universal within reason It also depends what bike it came off of and therefore requires the correct programing for the bike involved. If you have the complete kit it should include a harness to connect to a laptop so it can be programmed for your bike. You should be able to download the correct file from ignitech. If not I may still have the files on my computer. With regards to testing your coils, there are shop manuals downloaded to the tech section on this site. Check and clean all the connections even if they look clean and make sure there is good drag and tension on your connector terminals by using a terminal of the correct size. I almost replaced a perfectly good cdi unit once and ended up not needing to after cleaning all the connections. Also check the harness connections going to your stator on the left side of the bike.

1st gen to 2nd gen clutch basket
saddlebum replied to OrlinEngh's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I could be wrong but I am pretty sure they use the same clutch. -
I remember missing it because I was busy rebuilding my bike after being run off the road by an unlicsensed driver in an unlicensed and uninsured car.

Not a fan really. Most additives thicken oil which hinders the oils ability to creep into tight areas. That stickyness you often see demonstrated in those little gear setups on many parts counters also holds debris. Best option is to just use a good quality oil designed for wet clutches.

The Originals are now 40 years old. Who's still rideing them ?
saddlebum replied to Vickersguy's topic in Watering Hole
Still have both my 89's but with the craziness that has become all too common on the roads in our area recently and the number of times I have been cut off in the last 2 years I am questioning whether or not it is time to find a new hobby. -

Not sure about thevsecond gens but the 1st gens had an oil level sensor. If the level was low the light came on but but sometimes depending on were the level was at the light would come on during certian riding conditions. Also check your wiring condition tomthecsensor.

Merry Christmas right back at you and to all the members of our Venture Rider family. May we all be safe and loved.

Normally it is at the radio. Not sure about the transmit without headset but cannot see off hand why it woul not. You can always try it. Here is a good article on how to. https://www.rightchannelradios.com/blogs/installation-guides/18330687-cb-antenna-tuning-instructions?srsltid=AfmBOorEogEZm7W8J0YTBYtu6neshaHnaRu6OL0KLnJe4_d0SrKqHml3

Normal procedure is to disconnect cable from cb and connect to swr meter and short jumper from meter to CB. Take the bike somewhere away from structures to avoid any signal reflection and adjust your antenna length to get your lowest but equal swr reading on both lowest and highest channel. Alternatively if you have a preferred channel that you use most often like 28 for example, adjust to lowest reading on that channel and just check that 1 and 40 are still within the acceptable range.
