Deb- The more the merrier!! Dave
-
Erv- Congrats to Terri on the nomination. Things never go quite a smoothly as we hope do they but we'll keep an eye out for you on Monday. We should be up riding but we'll get you checked in as soon as we return. I'm not sure where we'll be riding on Monday but if a group is in Yellowstone that day, you could possibly link up with us/them there. Which way will you be coming to Cody? Dave 801-918-7999 (cell)

I've used it a little bit as well. I've found it easier to use than mapquest or google. When are you coming? Dave
-
The temps look perfect Kurt, thanks for making that arrangement!! Jack- Once you get the lights working on the trailer, don't think about fixing anything else. Dave

Reinyrooster- If the one fork brace is a heavier that stock for a first gen, I'll take it. How would you like to do the shipping. Dave (Utadventure)

89 VR Need Rear Box Reflector
utadventure replied to rmcclain's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I have one off of an '86. Do you need the chrome fender as well? Dave -
Jack- Whether on the '91 or the '83 (or bring them both), there is going to be some great riding. I see you added the proposed ride schedule to the flyer. If you guys haven't seen it yet, take a look. Dave

Congrats on the class and great looking bike. Now, just try to keep up Leadwolf56. Dave

We love the place!! Have a great time and don't forget the pics. Dave

I was thinking of some football, riding and bbq with the family. My wife has suggested canning some salsa (I love the salsa dip - maybe I'll bring some to Cody). I wonder what I'll be doing this weekend. Sounds like you have a great trip planned. Enjoy and be safe. Dave

Response from Yamaha Canada re: Clutch Basket
utadventure replied to SilvrT's topic in Watering Hole
Are there enough owners (probably on this site alone) that you could group together and file a class action suit? That might get their attention!! Better to fix a few bikes than to have a recall on all of them. Dave -
Response from Yamaha Canada re: Clutch Basket
utadventure replied to SilvrT's topic in Watering Hole
Sounds like a cop out to me. If as he says, "These models have an inherent engine noise that is considered normal", why isn't it consistent with all of the bikes. Instead, some have it, others have it worse, while some don't seem to have it at all. Thing back to the '70s Dodges - their starters had a distinct, inherent noise - ALL OF THEM. You could tell a Dodge starting up from blocks away. Dave -
One of the first things that happened to me was, I went downtown to a festival and parked in an open parking lot. Wanting to secure the bike, I locked the steering. What I didn't know and couldn't see because of sunlight, was that there was a position on the iginition switch that not only locked the front forks to the side but also turned on the park lights. When I came back to the bike at the end of the evening, the battery was dead. Is it possible that this is what's happening to you? Dave

There were three Ventures here on Saturday. My White/Cream '88, a black cherry '83 (told him about the site) and a MM Venture. We also had Pegasus1300's RSTD. Had a great time. I'll post some pics tomorrow. Dave

Girlyman can't get it up on centerstand....
utadventure replied to jonsmyth's topic in Watering Hole
Same here. I place my right heal on the center stand, make sure that both sides of the center stand make contact with the ground and lift up on the passenger grab rail. Good luck! Dave -
The easiest way I've done it is to use an extended spark plug socket I purchased at the dealer. I has the socket on one end and a hex on the other end. After removing the heat shields, I place the spark plug socket on the plug and a ratcheting wrench on the other. I lossens right up and then I can remove it the remainder by hand (still with the socket). Replacement is just the reverse. Start the new plug by hand, finish tightening with the ratcheting wrench. Worked slick for me. Dave

Tomorrow we get to ride in honor in of the fallen soldiers. It is a wonderful way to remember those that are willing to place themselves (and their families) between us and those that wish to do us harm. Thank you to all who have or are now serving in the armed forces. Anyone local that would like to join us but didn't know about this event, please come out. http://www.rideforthefallen.us Dave
