I had a BMW K1200LT and although I have only had my Venture for a couple of weeks I have already found it to be a better ride. Just make sure you focus on a 1st generation bike so you can ride with the upper class.

Sad day as the my Twins leave for their new adopted home...
KIC replied to KIC's topic in Watering Hole
The TW200s were a lot of fun for off road camping and fishing. They climbed like little mountain goats. I still have my KLR 650 to use on the dirt and camping trips. In fact I think I worked a deal on selling my YZ250 since I don't think I'm riding anywhere I need two stroke power. -
Gonna be a tough week for riding.... NOT !

Well, my Twins left today for their new adoptive home in Oklahoma. It was a trade off...the Twins or a Venture. Picked the Venture ( and the right choice of a 1st Genner). Still sad to see the girls go. They were a different type of fun. But time to move on to bigger and better things....

Well he did buy a 2nd Genner....par for the course....
-
I know this was an accidental misquote. You meant to type " He should buy a trailer to pull his car behind his 1st Genny". Bringing a car would be a good idea so the 2nd Genners can use it to go buy parts for theirs.

Although the local MC parts place I go to couldn't find anything on the Fram PH3950 and even called their supplier looking for conversions, the Pep Boys around the corner had 2 in stock. The original cartridge style at the bike shop were $5.99 each and at Pep Boys the Fram PH3950 were $3.99 each.

Sounds interesting and tempting. At least I know it's not like any 2nd Genners are going to be able to catch me...

Zebra....or jail break fantasy.... just sayin'....

Now you did it...you had to go and open that can of worms... He just found out that his snow blower is a 2nd Generation model and can only handle 1/4 inch or less.....

What is that white stuff all over the ground ? I guess that is why we keep the cold icey stuff in the freezer where it belongs..well it's a freezing 58 degrees here..guess I'll grab my sunglasses ( that bright cloudless sky is ..well.. bright) :sun:and jump on my bike and run to the bank...
-
Oh...from the thread title I thought he had just figured out he had a 2nd Gen bike.....

Possession is 9/10ths of the law with the other 1/10th depending on the faster motorcycle or biggest gun....

We now return you to the regularly scheduled jabbering about the 89...

Hmmm..you think they are stupid enough to do that ?...

89 Venture - Mileage life span
KIC replied to KIC's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Would the speedo needing the bearings greased ( it started whinning like a stuck pig) cause the cruise not to work from any type of friction in the speedo ? -
The name on the tank is mispelled... It's VENTURE.... just saying...

Arizona :sun:thought about taking over Texas to make it a better, more livable place, but we couldn't figure out what to do with that pesky lil sliver of desert called New Mexico....

Thanks..got the best and fastest 1Gen bike, fastest color, and the best looking owner/rider. What else can I guy ask for ?
-
Mine just started that scream too today in the cold and at higher speeds. Thought it was the fan motor at first, then realized it was the speedo. Pulled the cable and finished the ride.. time to lube the bearings..

Went for a combination of a CHRISTmas Eve and new to me bike shake down ride with some friends today. Left at 8:30 and 28.2 degrees outside. Found out…screw the dog, chaps are man’s best friend. The funny thing (or is it just reality) that out of 10 promises to ride, 7 showed up. 1 had to work a half of day and couldn’t get out of it. The only other two who didn’t show up “because it was too cold” were the 2 Harley riders. Three Ventures were present, my 89, an 85 and we even let a 2nd Gen 2001 ride with us…Tis the season you know… My 89 had a few minor issues. One was an incredible squeal would occur at higher speeds and colder temps. Happened on Friday morning when I left the house at 32 degrees and had to turn back and switch to the Tahoe. Later that day I rode it for 30+ miles around town with no issues. This morning it was like a police siren. Had figured it was the electric fan motor going. After analyzing it at the higher speeds I realized it was my speedometer cable. Pulled over and removed it and finished the ride quietly. Got that puppy up to 90 mph in one area ( had my GPS) and the bike felt better than my old K1200LT ever did. Never felt comfortable riding this stretch of curvy highway on the K1200LT, but the Venture was smooth and comfortable. Looking forward to tearing the front forks and Tupperware apart next week to fix the forks and oil leak and add 12-volt outlets to the fairing. Just waiting for my progressive springs to arrive….
