    I wonder if your sentiments on this are shared by most of the classic Venture guys. The guy working on my bike says it will cost him way less time and me way less money if he can isolate the use of the front brake to the hand brake. This is fine with me as I habitually use it when braking. Any of you guys know of an easy way to do this or is it a bad idea? Thanks

    I was informed today that the VR engages the front brake when you hit the brake foot pedal. I had no idea this was so. The mechanic said the full bike brake rebuild is quite a hassle and will take him 8 hours. Does this sound reasonable to you guys or should I just dive in and do it myself? Thanks

    My manual says XVZ1200 1984 The sight you sent me to doesn't have that listed as an option. How similar are the Yamaha XVZ12DL 1984 and mine? thnx mitch

    Thanks Gary! $72 now but with three kids in college every cent counts: Ok all I need now is a place to buy 1 jet block gasket and the 8 rubber plugs? Anyone point me the right direction? Mitch & Kim Graves 118 S Fillmore St Edwardsville IL 62025

    Turns out I don't need the O rings at all. All I need is - one plastic slide (vacuum piston) - 4 jet block gaskets - and 8 rubber plugs Bike mech says everything else is in great shape So maybe I have to buy one carb kit as pictured unless I can get just a single gasket... mitch

    How much for - one plastic slide (vacuum piston)? - 4 jet block gaskets - and 8 rubber plugs? Can I pay via PayPal? thanks Mitch & Kim Graves 118 S Fillmore St Edwardsville IL 62025 618-656-1844 http://www.gravesjudo.com

    Hello, After four years not running I have scraped together enough time and money to get my 84 Royale running if I buy one set of carb gaskets and cut the rest by hand. (3 kids in college) I am wondering were I might get the best price on a single set of carb gaskets *and* a single vacuum piston (buddy who is helping called it a 'slider'). Thanks very much.
