when you get into savanna, go north threw town and look for clay street, only goes one way, takes you out of town and turns into derinda rd. follow that and it is a fun windy senic road. brings you out on hwy 20 just east of elizabeth. turn left or west and go threw elizabeth, on the west edge of town is a road that will take you to scales mound wi. another nice curvy road to ride. get to the stop sign, turn left or go west. that is the stage coast trail, that will bring you right to galena. great burger place in galena on east end of main drag is dirty gerts. hope you enjoy your ride!!!!!

went and looked under vr merchandise, didnt find anything?

well if nothing else i'm interested and have a goldwing bud to bring along!

hey fly'n fool are we gonna have another meet-n-eat at the final approach this year? twas always a good time!!!!

thankyou freebird. things should start to get done now. the ice age hopefully is over with!!! that was nasty!!! hard to get the garage warm when itz that cold!!

is the correct valve clearance 0.11-0.15 mm (0.004-0.006 in) intake. And 0.16- 0.20 mm (0.006-0.008 in) exhaust. have checked all the write ups on it and nobody seems to mention what the correct gap is supposed to be. what i found was in the manual (96-03 manual)i have a 2006. my valve covers are leak'n, so before i put in the new valve cover gaskets, i'm gonna check n adjust the valves.

all i need is the radio, been to pinwall already, what would you want for the whole system?

i over thunk it tooooo! but then i figured the guy would have checked that too! Thankz!!!

my radio shorted out inside am look'n to replace it

yep, i can live without a cb also. most of my rid'n is done without a helmet anyway.

alright here we go. ended up hav'n to take the bike to a local motorcycle mechanic,[ not a stealer ] guy has worked on ventures before. he had it a couple of days but only worked on it 1 day, bout 4 hours. called and said he found the problem. figured out that the am-fm radio had shorted out inside and was feed'n back threw the wiring causing a short. unplugged the white 12 pin plug in right out of the radio and everything went back to normal. so glad he figured it out, i was at a loss as to what else to check. i'd a never thought that the radio could have caused the problems i was having. need to find another radio to put back in it. anyone that reads this thread and has a good am-fm radio they want to part with n sell, please get in contact with me and we can work out a deal. thanks to all who try'd to hep, it was truly greatly appreciated!!!!:thumbsup2:

beautiful song and so very very true! i truly hope to be a part of that line when he comes. hope to see you there.

thanks, i hav'nt given up yet. have a couple of other pro's i need to talk too. tried the relay under the seat, now gonna try the other one that bogobony suggested

did the relay you suggested and still the same problem. wish i was laid off so i could devote all my time to fix'n this problem

i'll look for it tonite if i get time. THANKS!!!!

have also noticed that the oil pressure lite and the water temp lite are both all the time after you start the bike. they turn on when you turn the key on and stay on after the bike starts

ok, had the kickstand down when i tried to start to test neutral switch, put the kickstand up and all worked as it should, wouldn't start in gear, pulled in the clutch and it started, put the kick stand down, and again would not start in gear or with the clutch pulled. don't know where to go next other than ignition switch. any ideas.

ok, cleaned and tested the handlebar switch,,,, its good, work's the way its supposed to. switched out the starter relay with the old one, still the same problem. went out and put it in gear, would not start, pulled the clutch in and still would not start. all kinds of dash lites flashing and caring on. put it back in neutral, turned key on started right up. must be neutral safety switch. gonna try to find it and bypass if i can.

thanks all for your hep. hopefully i'll get time this weekend to work on it
