Well I finally got around to the clutch switch. I took it apart and cleaned it.(thank you Dingy for your cleaning posts) Works great!! Thanks for all the reply's and help with this.

Thanks for all the reply's. I have a lot of good information to start trying to track down the problem. It will probably be this weekend before I can get to it but I will let you know what I find.

I will take a look at it. Thanks for your help. I will let everyone know what I find....... By the way Fool. From what Ive read I think your the major cause of the snow problem. If you would cut that stuff out you might be able to get to your bike.

Thanks Doug . If I find I need one I will get with you....... Where would I find the clutch switch ? Is it located on the lever? I would like to say I appreciate all the post and help with this.

I think I will start with the Kickstand switch. But I know the display shows a warning light and the kickstand symbol when it is down and it goes off when I raise it. So I would think the switch is working .But I will take a good look at it to see if the problem is with it.

No. I put it in neutral and it starts up

Is it normal for a 87' Venture not to start when the bike is in 1st gear.....kickstand up.....clutch pulled in. It went dead on me as I was starting off and would not crank until I put the bike in neutral. This was my first real ride on this bike or any Venture . I purchased it about 4 months ago and have been working on it. I didn't notice this till today.

Thanks for sharing your ride with us.

When I select a smile it puts in a code but when it is posted the smile is there. I thought that's how it worked.

pretended that I enjoyed riding behind the 1st gen when suddenly.........

That sounds as easy as putting in a new fuse. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

I was working on my 87' Venture today and I finally got around to getting my radios to work. It surprised me when everything lite up and started working. Its amazing what a new fuse will do. But my problem was with the CB. It scans thru the channels and doesn't stop on any of them. Like its seeking a cannel that's being used. I have been restoring this bike for the last 3 months. I took the CB apart and cleaned the buttons because they were sticking. This was at a earlier time. I might have done something I shouldn't have done while I was cleaning it. Does anyone have any ideals on this?

Great story. Hope your back gets well soon. And parked cars jumping out in front of you is no laughing matter. My wife has had two of the dang thing jump out and hit her while she was backing out in the last 6 months.

Wrench your right I don't know what a pickle dog is. But I would like to. I'll trade a fried pig ear sandwich for a pickle dog.

I will have to take another look at the pictures. All I could see was that fine looking bike.......That's not good
