STAR RIDER

Thanks I feel much better knowing the road is blacktop.

Is the road to your house a dirt or paved road? I do not do well on a dirt or gravel road with two up on a motorcycle. We are registered and staying at the Hickory Motel. Gary & Rita

Thanks, I had just booked at the Hickory Hill Motel which you said, is about 6 miles from your place.

Thanks and what location will the cookout be? Just want to know how far it is from the place we are staying?

2017 International Rally Questions What night is the cookout and bonfire going to be and were will it be ???

Got home (Florida) yesterday at 3 pm. Only took me two days with no rain round trip. Rita & I had a great time with you all. Riding WV was very stimulating from coming from the flat land Florida. I would like to thank "Slowroll" for fabulous time setting up the rides and dinner. Hope to see you all again. Star Rider

That's right - If you can get to it!!! I did get to it using a dentist hook to remove it and pushed it back with a small long punch. I had used the tools I had. The 194 bulb lit when I was in overdrive. Job complete and thanks southbound for your help.

Has anyone replaced the overdrive lamp on a 2nd generation Yamaha Venture. I split the fairing, but not sure if I have to remove every thing to change the bulb or pull the rubber socket out.

I checked with Pinwall Cycle Parts and I would have to purchase a used headlight assembly which would be costly for just a plastic insert for the headlight assembly.

Seems like you have to buy the whole assembly. might have to use the epoxy for a quick fix like you said. Thanks

I removed the tab that holds the ball shaft and seen it was cracked. This hold the headlight assembly forward. The ball sits in a grove inside the tab. "NOW" were do I gat one of these? see pictures attached

I think I found something that would push the Headlight forward inside the fairing. But I will need help to make sure if the ball rides on the outside of the tab or inside. I found the ball inside the tab when I took the bracket apart. If the ball rides on the outside of the tab, this would push the headlight forward. Does anyone know on there venture what it looks like???

Thanks Mike for posting my problem with the venture. I just got home from your house and took the fairing off, here is what I have. It does not look like the picture shown in the posting above.

Some of you riders might have trouble with your old model 5 pin headset (HS-G140) made by IMC Motorcom. They do not make these anymore. The new headset model is the (HS-X140P) When I was on a ride with my wife. I could hear her, but she could not hear me through the intercom. I did some troubleshooting and found the extension connector was not making good contact. So I cut the both connector ends off and soldered the wires together. So I like to pass along what wires should be soldered together. Extension Cable Colors Wires are Red, Black, Blue, Green, Shield, and White. Headset Color Wires are Blue, Green, Yellow, White, Black, and Red. Soldering these wires together as follows: Ext. wire: Red – Headset Blue wire (Left Side Headset) Ext. wire Black – Headset Green wire (Left Side Headset) Ext. wire Blue – Headset Yellow (Right Side Headset) Ext. wire Green – Headset White wire (Right Side Headset) Ext. wire Shield – Headset Black wire (Boom Mic) Ext. wire White – Headset Red wire (Boom Mic)

I'm glad your wife operations went well. We prey for a fast recovery.
