so where can I get leveling links now?
Midicat replied to Monsta's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Any chance you have one more set? Or, that same set available? Thomas -
I would be interested in a set. If it's not too much trouble. Thomas

Southern Ontario meet for coffee and/or ice cream?
Midicat replied to XV1100SE's topic in Watering Hole
I have my own pic to add. Just to be clear. You guys are the best! Reserving a spot for me and all... -
So, I had this happen 3 times. Pulling out of a parking space in 1st gear and then a "click". She popped into neutral. The second time it happened I was leaning into the turn. Needless to say, the bike and I ended up on our sides. This is quite a concern for me since I don't want this happening in traffic. Has anyone experienced such a thing? If anyone can give me some guidance on where or what to look for to correct this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Don!! -
Sold! The guy who bought it is going to send it to Zanzibar. Paid cash.

This thing followed me from Quebec. I think I will keep her. She's a beauty! I'm going to clean her up a bit and remove some of the decals.(most notably, the stuff on the sides of the fairing). She is loaded with toys and I can't wait to rider her.

Sally has a stylist who admits that she came home one day to find awesome chunky stew in a plastic container in the fridge. When her mother came home, the stylist thanked her mom for saving some stew for her. Her mother abruptly stated she hadn't made stew. She was eating leftover chunks in gravy dog food. Mmm, Mmm, good.

"Howling Sound", 1991 Venture Royale
Midicat replied to Frank from Loudon's topic in General Tech Talk
I have that sound at 3000 rpm. No matter what gear I am in. -
I thought about adding seafoam and letting it idle for a bit but my impatience keeps me from going to that extent. I will try it... One day. I always have the bike on centre stand and engine hot when starting an oil change.
-
So here's my question. I have had my bike serviced at a bike shop. Oil change only and when I pick it up after service the oil is perfectly clear. How do they do that? Now that I change my own oil, I can never get it that clear. What is the secret?

collector question
Midicat replied to uncledj's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
@uncledj After reading your post in Gen 1 Tech Library on collector repair I was interested in the idea of a couple of sheet metal screws to hold the baffle in place. So, I thought I would give it a go. I have another collector but thought this might be simpler and also made sense to me. I gently laid the bike on the right side. Marked the tack welds on the bottom with a circle and drilled for screws on the marked dots. Broke 2 bits in the process but got it done. I stood her back up and started her.... Purrs like a cougar now. 😀 No more rattling! WOOHOO! Thank you for your fidgeting that brought this solution to my attention. 👍 -
Yeah, I will never forget that memorable ride through a dairy farm that you captained. One in a million experiences!

Stuck float? slider not moving
Midicat replied to coltrain's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I could never avoid you. You know so many people in Ontario that I'm sure they report sightings to you so you can keep tabs on anyone you like. 😂 I will inspect it today. If it is good then I can glue it back together? Burlington is a nice ride. 😀 -
Stuck float? slider not moving
Midicat replied to coltrain's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Exactly what I have happening now. Left rear slider not moving. Cylinder #1 I believe. Anyway, I removed the cover and carefully removed the diaphragm to inspect for holes. (shouldn't have any, replaced 2 years ago with less than 1000 kms on them) when I pulled the slider and diaphragm out, the black portion of the slider stayed put. I had to stick my finger into the slider to slide it out. Should that happen or should it be attached? Do I need glue or a new slider? Thanks in advance. P. S. I am getting better at doing this stuff alone. And what I mean is "without having delivered to Carl to save the day." -
Good luck. Pics of the finish line please.
