    I have been asked if I was going to host another Mat, Day and I said that I would and after talking to Sharon we decided we would make this a annual event and put a name to it, I didnt want to use Wisconsin Mat, Day because it has been used by others and that way it still can be. The date will be June 29th 2013 at our place near Viroqua Wisconsin. Orlin

    My 84 does the same thing when I have a passenger, the first time it done I thought for sure something was going and after riding some good twisty windy roads it went away. Orlin

    Thanks everyone, We really like the new one it wasnt in my plan to get it but couldnt pass up the price, I still am going to sell 2 in the spring after I go threw them this winter and have them ready for someone to enjoy, The 92 has found its new home for sure and my Black 84 has alot of my time in it and is alot of fun to ride, I guess I know the one I am keeping.

    Wer made it home after only going 120 miles out of our way to get there, I took a right instead of left and we were talking away and see this sighn and I say oh _____ I am sure you have herd it before, so we turn around and make our way there, and we ended up taking the pickup and trailer because of the rain ended up didnt need it but with road construction and detours glad I did. Anyway we get there and its just what I was told nice shape no cracks anywhere needs a good cleaning and most of the dust just blew off on the way home, he said sorry about that and I said its just what I wanted to see not spotless clean. I started it up took it for a ride runs out nice let it run checked it all over, loaded it up and came home. Tomarrow is cleaning day and go for a ride. Orlin

    We are going to Janesville WI, to pick a 1992 Blue Venture today, sure hope that this ends up being a better one than the one I got three weeks ago, that was doctored up with stop leak. Looks from the pics to be in very nice shape everything is there still has the cargo bags . All of the plastic is is good shape. The PO said its been a very good cycle and that he doesnt ride much anymore and wanted to get his daughter a nice scooter to cruze around town on. I will get some pics on here when I get it home and all cleaned up. Orlin

    I talked with the place that I got the cycle from and told them what I found, and they told me to let them know what I will need for parts that they would like to help me out. And that they would not have taken it in and sold it if they had any idea that it had been doctored up. Nice to know that they are willing to help me out I told him I will send him some pics of the cycle and the head gaskets so that he knows that I am being truthfull with them. The one good thing is I will know what I have once I get it put back together. Orlin

    Yes this is the one I just got, I called them when I first noticed something was wrong, I emailed them today and let them know what I found and what had to be done but I havent herd back from them yet so I am going to call them tomarrow. I have the feeling that I am on my own, Orlin

    I will be putting in a diffrent motor I took out the 2 front plugs and I could tell that number 2 cylinder is now getting coolant in the oil so I have the motor out and now I have to get the other motor in. I had picked up a couple of parts bike a couple of years ago and the one had a good 1300 in it. So Im thinkinig by the weekend I will be riding down the road again. Orlin
  17. OrlinEngh
    I still have the engine in I was able to get the rear head off with out pulling the motor. I am not sure the front one will come off with it in. Orlin

    Well its for sure the head gasket I pulled the head today and found a gasket that was in bad shape. The heads looked good and the cylinders look good. But I am wondering about the bearings the engine still sounded good but I have no idea of how long it had been drove this way. I did find that they had put stop leak in it so I am sure the PO new about this and thats why he traded it off, Is there a way to test the other head with out pulling it . Orlinhttp://0358/

    Okay after taking the twinkie off the water pump and seeing that all looked nice and clean no sighns of coolant in the oil and draining the oil and no sighns of any there. And when I called about gaskets I got to talk with one of the guys at the Yamaha shop here in Lacrosse and he said that I could rule out a bad head gasket that I had done most of what he would have done. And his thought was air in the cooing system and a stuck needle or float in the carb and it was fule building up in the oil. Same thing that the place I got it from said and what was said on here. So I did things to get the air out. This morning the coolant was the same as when I got done yesterday. While I had the air box off I sprayed carb cleaner down into the carbs and found that number three had no change so I kept sprying the carb cleaner in and it started to work. So I took it for a short ride came home parked it and shut the fule off and the oil level stayed the same over night. Sure hope I have gotten to bottom of this going to try and get out for a test ride today. Thanks for all of the help. Orlin

    I took the twinkie off and the rubber seals were hard but I couldnt see any brakes in them, I noticed that there had been some sealer on them, can I use these over again with alittle sealer, I havent found any of the white sludge anywhere so far it was nice and clean under the twinkie and inside and there isnt any on the filler cap for the oil, I changed the oil and let it set and idle for allmost a half hour with the drain valve turned then turned it back and the temp gauge stayed a little above the half way mark so I took it for a 12 mile ride road speed and slow and it held there untill I got home and checked the small tank and it was filling back up again and heated up to the red mark on the gauge. I drained the oil it is brown in color and not milky looking. I talked with a guy the sevice dept where I got it and he said sounds like air in the cooling system, and I may have a sticky float that is causeing the oil to level to come up. Orlin

    I pulled the sparkplugs and none of them look like new they havent been in there that long but they look used not clean like they have been washed. I took the air cleaner off but the hose was not hooked up but i didnt see any of the white stuff on the inside of the hose. There isnt any on the filer cap for the oil either. I will take the twinkie off tomarrow and see what I find there. Orlin

    I added some coolant to the small tank it was empty the radator is full and over night the small tank was empty, and the oil level was up. I changed the oil refilled the small tank to the full mark took it for a ride and it was pushing the coolant back into the small tank to where it would over flow. There is no white smoke from the exsust and it runs fine. I am hopeing that this wasnt the reason for the PO to trade it off. I Talked with the PO and he told me that he had just put a new thermotat and cap on the radiator. There is no coolant on the floor. Am I looking at a blown head gasket or could the water pump be leaking on the inside or the cylinder water jacket joint. Orlin

    Its behind the spark plug you pull the pin out, then what how do you pull it out of there Orlin
  24. OrlinEngh
    How do these come out. If one goes bad will it leak coolant into the oil and not leak to the outside by the spark plug. I noticed that the coolant level went down and added some and noticed that the oil level has came up. I just got this cycle and I hope that it is not junk it still sounds good no bearing noise so maybe I have caught this early enough. Orlin

    I had the same problem this spring after getting some bad gas. It may take you less time if you take it apart doesnt take that long to do it then you can spray some carb cleaner in any hole you can and clean up the slide and check the diaphram, because if its bad you are going to need a new one or do a repair to get you by for awhile, And you will want to resync the carbs when you are done. And after using heavy doses of seafoam or berrymans you may want to put new spark plugs in it can be hard on them. Orlin
