    Sarge46 Did you ever figure out what you needed? If you PM me at stevemarilyn@hotmail.com with a picture of the V-star conector I can quote all three harnesses with postage, if you are still interested.

    Jeff Do you drill a hole in those for a lanyard? I have a plastic pab I use for hot asphalt parking lots. Has astring on it, I keep it in mt tank mounted pouch, that way I can get iit out and lower it into position with out getting off the bike and with the string tied onto the left grip I am unlikely to ride off and leave it on the parking lot.

    Well as they say the best laid plans of mice and men, sometime do not work out. I have shipped to Don 7 harnesses, 6 that fit the Tour Deluxe and 1 that fits a Venture. I have asked Don to hold the 1 Venture harness for eusa1 and 1 of the Tour Deluxw harnesses for Joe ( star 4772 ). I expected a shipment of parts on Tuesday and they still ( now Wednesday) have not arrived, so there is little hope of getting any more Venture harnesses to Don's in time. At least you will be able to see the harness if you are interested I will be ale to ship as soon as I have parts available. Sorry to dissappoint but nothing I can do at this point, have great time at MD.

    If there is any interest in my auxillary tail and brake light harness for those going to Freebird's maintenance day I can arrange to have several of each (Venture/Royal Star & Tour Deluxe/ Road Star 1700) harnesses dropped shipped to Don. Cost is $11.00 for Venture style and $13.50 for Tour Deluxe style). http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=69814

    That is how I did mine about 2 weeks ago, except I removed the 1157 filament bulbs and went with LEDs, used the type that have a rotating head on them,works fine. See link below. Only paided $25.00 for the light bar so figured I could spend a little more on the LEDs, plus I moved my flasher out of the tail light housing and up under the seat, now my strip light under the trunk,my brakelight, my IOWA 80 strips beside my saddle bags, backoff license plate light and my Harely lights flash when I hit the brakes. If somebody rear ends me, they clearly have their head up and locked. http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/index.cgi?action=DispPage&Page2Disp=%2Fspecs%2FBA15-ARA.htm#photos I think you have some other problem.

    Maintenance intervals (oil changes) will depend on whether you are running regular oil or synthetic oil. Regular oil: Change oil and filter about every 3,000 to 4000 miles. Synthetic oil: (what I do others mysuggest diferntly) change the filter every 3000 miles and change the oil every 6000 miles. Do not over fill the crank case, properlevel isjustbelow the half way point in the sight window with the bike standing straight up. Rearend fluid is changed every 16,000 miles. Coolant is changed every 26,000 miles or every 2 two years. See the tech section on this web site for a clever way to get the fluid out of the engine cavities with out making a mess. Valves are shim and bucket type, no tappets to adjust, you must have a special tool to compress the springs and a set of shims on hand to swap out as required to get the proper clearance. Copies of the ownwer's manual are available from the Yamaha web site.

    Was parked at the Kangaroo gas station today (19-May-12) around 950 AM and a Blue & Black 07 just like mine went by going east on state road 42 towards Deland.

    Sarge, I have sold 4 or 5 harneses to folks on Canada, for a package that contains 1 harness (8" with 8" tags) the shipping and handling increases by $1.30 US. I am not sure what the shipping would be on a package with multplle harnesses, but I am sure it is not all that much additional postage. Tell me what you need, ( lengths and tags or no tags) also if you can tell me what the bike year and model are that will help. Because Yamaha uses the two different connectors it would also be very informative to me if you could send pictures of the connectors so I can verify them and make sure I get you the correct style.

    As many of you already know I started making an auxiliary harness for the 2nd Gen Royal Star Ventures a few months ago. These plug in between the connectors under the seat that connect the main harness to the fender harness and allow you to easily make connections to the taillight, brake light and turn signal circuits for adding more lights or attaching to a trailer harness. I am happy to announce that with the help of some folks here and also over on Delphi that I can now expand the offering to include 1996 to 2001 original Royal Stars, 2005 and up Tour Deluxe, V-Stars and Road Stars. I was finally able to obtain the second style connector used by Yamaha. You can see a photo of the basic RS Venture harness in the Second Gen Parts Classified section. I am sorry to say that I still have not found the connectors for the GEN I Ventures and Venture Royales, but I am still looking. Thanks again to all that have purchased harnesses already and for all of the positive feed back I have received on them. Please do ride safe.

    As far as Yamaha Road Side assistance, all they are going to do is get you a tow to the nearest repair shop. If they happen to be closed I am not sure what happens then, probably you would need to work something out with the tow operator. If you are X miles from home they will pay for trip interuption, but there is no guarentee that they will find you a shop that is open, only to the closest shop. On weekends most Harley dealers are open, it is always a crap shoot as to whether they will work on a metric bike or not, some will, many will not.

    Wody If you have not already tapped into the bike's harness please consider my auxilary harness with the tag wires, see my ad in the classified section.

    I posted this on a similar thread on another forum here on Venturerider. Needed new threads put into a set of used saddle bag side rails I bought, asked the srvice manager at the local Yamaha dealer if he could put in a Helicoil and he they do not use them , instead they use something called a Time Cert, new to me, but works well. See link http://www.timesert.com/

    We had Autocad for years where I work, but they switched to Solid Works, which I have not learned and they will not give me a license. They decided not to keep up the licenses for AutoCad, so I had to switch over to DraftSight, which is made by SolidWorks and works nearly identical to Autocad and it is FREE, anyone can down load it at work or at home. One bug that is common is the interface to the video card drivers is touchy, when I down loaded it to my lap top I could draw things but you could not see them. I had to go online and upgrade the driver for my video card, now it works just fine. Back to the clutch issue, I do not have a Barnett , but have read many times here and on other sites that they are sensitive to orientation, seems that just clocking it differently by one or two bolts fixes the issues that many have had with the clutch not disenaging when they pull the lever. Maybe that is the issue??

    Jeff What type of polisher did you talk to? You may find that electropolishing cheaper that hand/machine polishing. There is place in Sanford and one in Clearwater, just Google Electropolishing in Florida. Can't hurt to ask.
  21. M61A1MECH
    Be careful with those things they are addicting, like potato chips you can't have just one.

    Rick Thanks for the feed back glad to hear everything worked ok, glad to hear the harnesses are working so well everyone that has installed one has had similar feed back. Ride Safe

    Try posting this in the Gen I tech forum, There are differences between the Gen I and Gen II, you may find some there that has had similar experiences on a Gen I that could offer some additional help.
  24. M61A1MECH
    All good news Jeff, keep at it, you will be good as new sooner than you think.

    Dyna Blues

    M61A1MECH replied to MikeWa's topic in Watering Hole

    Mike Are you certian that you have the correct model Dyna for your bike? Dyna makes models for the Venture and the original Ryal Star they are similar and maybe even have the same connectors, but are not interchangable. Just asking the obvious, in case it has been over looked.
