  1. trouble
    Yes true. And you must pay with paypal only.
  2. trouble
    Venture riders get a discount. Regular price 99.99 we pay 69.99 plus 12.50 shipping

    Thanks everyone. I ordered the SD-1's. Still curious what the difference between the two types are though. I am going to their store to pick up my diaphrams. I will ask to see both types and see if anyone there knows why both types are listed as Venture Royale diaphrams.
  4. trouble
    Yes, the V-max is listed with the ventures in the list of bikes that the SD10 fits on thier website. I just wondered if the SD10's were any better or an upgrade to the SD1's. I asked several questions in an email to sirius but didnt get an answer on this point. In the pictures of the two types the bell or cup part of the diaphram looks bigger. Thanks for the replies.

    Sorry if this has already been discussed but I did a quick search and did not find an answer in the posts I read. I went to the Sirius website and discovered that they list two different diaphrams for my 1986 Venture Royale. One is a package of four SD1 diaphrams and the other is single SD10's. Anybody know which is the best one for my bike and what the difference would be. They look different from each other in the pictures. Price is similar.

    Bob helped me too. Thanks again Bob.

    WOW. I removed the guts of the proportional valve and in 10 minutes had the system bled and ready to go. The rest of the bike is apart right now but I will give an update on how it stops when I get it on the road. I spent most of today wrestling with the brakes and even eyeballed the sledge hammer in the corner of the shop a few times. I believe most of the brake issues I have read about will be related to that darned valve. If the bike stops well enough, its staying out. Thanks again

    I think I will try to remove the spool. I am sick of fighting it. Thanks for all your help.

    I noticed in the manual they want you to rotate the caliper up 1.2 in at the bolt. I have not been doing that. The brake pads would be mostly off the rotor. Any one actually do that. Why would they even want you do do this. My brake line is clear no obstructions. The master and the proportioning valve have been off and cleaned and a new kit installed in the master.
  10. trouble
    I took the caliper apart and checked and cleaned everything. The pistons were not seized. I put the caliper back on and used compressed air to acuate it. The 4 pistons moved in and squeezed the rotor as they should. I hooked up the brake line and started to bleed again. First front left. Then rear. Then metering. I have the bike elevated and the front wheel stops on a dime. The pedal is firm and seems almost too firm. I dont have to move the pedal far before I lock up the front brake. but the rear can still spin. Not much oil moves when I bleed the rear and the pedal does not go down as I open the bleeder. It seems like not enough oil is making it to the rear caliper before the pedal gets hard.
  11. trouble
    Yes the front left bleeds well lots of oil. I have bled the three bleeders and the pedal is firm but I can turn the back wheel with the brakes applied. Is this still a bleeding issue or a mechanical issue.
  12. trouble
    Thanks for the reply. I just got this bike and have not rode it yet. I think my P.O also was into this valve. I had a firm brake pedal and no oil going to the back brake. When I opened the proportional valve the order of parts did not make sense. I think they were put in wrong at some point.
  13. trouble
    Hello, does any one have an exploded view of how the parts go inside the rear brake proportional valve. My manual does not seem to show it. Thanks.
  14. trouble
    My decals which look like pinstriping are in poor condition on everything except the left and right main faring. They really bring down the appearance of the rest of the body panels. How can I get the old decals/stripes off and has any body found something close to replace them ?
  15. trouble
    To all who replied to my questions...thankyou. This is exactly the info I was hoping to recieve. I just counted all the removed and cleaned parts and assemblies on my rec room floor. totals 53 pieces LOL. No wonder these bikes weigh so much. I hope I remember how everthing went.
