I am not familiar with any of the shops in Orlando area there are 4 in the general area. I am closer to Daytona and have always used Daytona Fun Machine (now Ride-On) in Holly Hill, when my 98 Royal Star had major carb issues they fixed it and it ran like new. If you contact them ask to speak with Mark Torrey, he is the service manager, you can tell him I sent you. As an aside to let you know what kind of service he provides, about 5 years ago my Goldwing would not start, it acted like sensor was bad, major $$. I talked with him and as he lives close by I asked if he could stop by after work and see if my diagnosis was correct. He came by, laid hands on the bike and it started, told me the battery was probably bad and I had flooded it trying to start it during the day. He was exactly correct, GLs are very sensitive to voltage drops during starting, got a new battery have not had a problem since. Steve Kowalcky

So tell us what gear are you in when you roll on the throttle between 35 and 50? If you are in 4th or 5th (both are overdrive gears) this response is completely normal. At 35 to 55 you should still be 3rd gear, roll on the throttle at those speeds in 3rd and she should take right off. No need to be in 4th or 5th below about 60. This engine does not perform well at low RPMs.

Here are two options; This link takes to you a product I make, you could use this harness that breaks into the wiring harness and put the resistors between the turn signal pigtails and ground. https://www.venturerider.org/forum/topic/62634-aux-lighting-harness-for-2nd-gen-venture/?do=getNewComment This link takes you to a post by Freebird that shows how to modify the OEM flasher to make it work with LEDs.

Puc, I se that 67 Vette in Punta Gorda sold, did you get it?

What speeds are you at when trying to accelerate in 4th and 5th gears? Remember, both of those gears are overdrive gears and the Royal Star 4 cylinder likes to make power at higher RPMs, not like a V-Twin at lower RPMs. When I had my Venture I was almost never in 4th below 55 or 60 or in 5th below 70. If you crank the throttle open in 4th at around 45 it will bog down every time, similar will happen in 5th around 55. With my 98 Royal Star and my Venture I spent a lot of time in 3rd gear.

I do not have a dash camera, but if I did have an onboard camera I would probably have the one in this thread. https://www.gl1800riders.com/threads/love-this-camera.466238/unread

Puc, We are pretty much open for business, Disney and such require that you make reservations on line to visit the theme parks and they are limiting the number of folks that can enter the park and require social distancing while in the parks. Masks are "required" at all businesses, but it is not strictly enforced, I see some folks shopping without masks or wearing their mask on their chin. Restaurants are open, require you to wear a mask until you are seated, some are still limiting the occupancy and not seating at some tables and bar stations to maintain social distancing. I have not been to any of the major cities in a long time so I not sure if there are some areas that are stricter than here in the Daytona area.

OK now I am straight. Well lot B25 is one of the cleanest ones I have seen in a while, that one is not going to go cheap that is for sure, but with your deep pockets I am sure you will be in the hunt. 🤑 I see a dark blue 63 split window coupe (lot B38) that would be a color match to my 4Runner, but I am a bit partial to the 67 yellow / black coupe lot B27, to bad I am not in a position to do some serious looking right now. Good luck if you are bidding on it.

So you are set fast and hard on a 66? There is a 67 Roadster with 427 in that same auction, it is Lot 28. I like the split window coupes myself. If I get tired of the Goldwing, any cash from the sale goes to a bucket list similar to yours, either an older Vette or Shelby AC Cobra. As far as rust here in Florida, yes you will find some because of the high humidity and salt in the air if you are on the coast. East coast cars suffer from it more than west coast ones , I think for two reasons, first the wave action and resulting salt spray is heavier on the east coast. Second here on the east coast they let you drive on the beach, not the case on the west coast. I know that the last time Barry and I were in Punta Gorda we toured the Muscle Car Museum and it was greatly reduced in size from the first time I toured it a number of years ago. The original site was an old Super Walmart store, it was huge, the one Barry and I visited was big but more like a regular supermarket size. The owner is always buying new inventory, so maybe he is just clearing the way for new show cars. Well if you buy one down here in Florida, let me know, I will be happy to go and pick it up for you, I drive to the house and store for a while. I would of course keep it exercised regularly. 😁

Hey Puc, here is one for you, https://worldwideauctioneers.com/listings/scottsdale21/1967-chevrolet-corvette-427-435-coupe/

Well he did grow into those ears, it has all gone pear shaped.

Oh my, yes still praying done here in Florida.

Prayers up from Florida.

Prayers up from Florida, expecting a full and speedy recovery.

I like the new format, just finished adding my sig pic back, not to pain full, I like the option to add a cover photo to the header of my profile page.

I have seen this issue many time over on GL1800riders.com. The sensor it self is not hard to get to, it is in behind the front timing cover, it is the connector at the end of the harness that is hard to get to. It is down in the abyss below the shelter, as I recall getting to it is similar to getting to the air filter, but maybe a bit worse, airbag models I am told are the worst one to deal with. If mine goes bad I am going to add a waterproof connector in to the harness behind the timing cover. probably something like these because of the small form factor. http://www.cycleterminal.com/jst-jwpf.html I will also say folks have had their bike's throw that code and it was just a bad battery, it does not take much to spin the GL motor over, but if the battery voltage dips to low when the starter is spinning the electronics for the ignition and fuel injectors will not work and the bike will not start. Have the battery load tested as the first step in troubleshooting.

Yes I am familiar with them, I find some of the more bizarre patterns to be distracting I prefer a strobe then solid. My Goldwing may be annoying to some, as I have two different patterns of 3 fast then three slow before going solid on all my brake lights. I have changed the OEM bulbs out for LEDs with built in modulators and my light bar in the spoiler and a custom one under the trunk are on a SC-100 modulator that does 3 and 3 and solid, but at different frequency that the tail lights, so I have quite a light show. Having been rear ended once on a bike because the person did not see my brake light come on, I am not taking any chances.

Maybe I missed it, but I went back to a reply I made to a post I made earlier today, and did not see a way to edit that reply Is there a method to do this? What did I miss? OK I get the 5 minute rule, other forums are the same, edit function works, Thanks Freebird.

I do not believe the SVTC has actual CANBUS, when I was designing my trailer harness set up I talked with the local Yamaha dealer's service manager about that and we looked at the wiring diagrams together and found no evidence of an actual CANBUS controller or computer. There may be something in the ECU that senses voltage anomalies and sends some sort of alert, but that is not really CANBUS. Where Electrical Connections and I plug into the rear lighting for the trigger source for the trailer isolator is a 12 volt line that goes direct to the bulb, so you should be able to interrupt the brake circuit there for that LSC-100 modulator and not cause a problem. That modulator is $5.00 if it does not work, take it out and put the wiring back as it was. Someone will buy the modulator off you.

One additional question. What year model Tour Deluxe do you have, Yamaha marketed a Tour DeLuxe model with the 1996 to 2001 standard Royal Stars and then again as a stripped down version of the Venture from 2005 to 2010. Oh also you noted in one of your first posts that you had red turn signals, those are not stock, all Royal Star line models came out of the factory with amber turn signals.

I actually have two options on the wiring for you, The one Ilinked to above was for the 1999 to 2013 Venture and 1996 to 2001 Royal Star , here is the one for the Tour Deluxe, 2005 to 2010, it is $16.00 delivered in the lower 48. The other option is to use some bullet connector adapters I make that will plug in to the brake and tail light wires at the triangle housing behind the license plate. A pair ( one for brake lights and one for tail lights) would be $10.00 delivered in the lower 48. With either solution you would need to run some wires from the bike to you new lights. I did a similar set up on my 2007 Venture, but I mounted the dual intensity LEDs between the saddle bag rails and the fender. Here is a link to where I bought mine, they make two different mounting bezels, one for flat and one for side, this link shows the side mount. https://www.ebay.com/itm/USA-Tecniq-EON-Red-Clear-LED-SMALL-Stop-Tail-Light-Motorcycle-ATV-Black-Ver-Case/293139609955?hash=item44407b7963:g:kYIAAOxyUrZSpjrA The Royal Star Tour Deluxe does not use CanBus. it is straight 12 volts DC direct wired.

OK easy enough to do, but are you asking how to do it or what type lights to buy? I make a breakout harness that installs under the seat so you can easily tap into the rear lighting without having to cut into the bike's wiring, see my add below. Maybe this helps.

Good to see us back on line, everyone was having withdrawal symptoms.

If the carbs bolt up to the motor, maybe they bought and older set of carbs rather than rebuild the ones on the bike. Mike Eycamp may know he is heavy into carb rebuilding and swapping.
