  1. I guess I tend to exaggerate. Yes, that's exactly what happens, I fill it to the neck and the gas recedes. I was in a hurry this morning, and saw it took 3.5 gallons. I didn't try to top it off this time. Assuming I still had 1 gallon left in the tank and it holds about 5 gallons. I assume I would have been able to top it off another half a gallon. So, I guess this is normal. Thanks for the info.
  2. I have a 1990 Yamaha Venture Royale. It runs fine, but whenever I fill it up, the tank looks like it's full after about 2 gallons, then the level of fuel slowly goes down. I end up having to spoon feed it another gallon. I don't see any fuel leaking anywhere. Is this normal?

  4. I connected the P-touch to my computer and used MS PowerPoint to get the font to match what was there, as well as the triangle characters and lines. The P-touch machine has a limited character set. And it will allow me to generate larger font for "old eyes" and is very difficult to rub-off. And I noticed the cracked mounting hole when I was putting it back on the bike, so I used Plastex to rebuild it.
  5. I used the P-touch (model PT-2730) from brother. It's a "PC-Connectable Labeling System" and I used white lettering on black tape 1/2" cartridge. I went from not seeing any lettering at all to the attached image. It's not perfect, but I think it came out ok.
  6. Thanks for all the responses. I thought I was the only one thinking about this. I bought "extra fine tip" white sharpies, but the tips are too blunt, and the paint come out in globs. I will try the Vaseline trick.
  7. I recently bought a 1990 Venture Royale and practically all the white labeling on the controls, CB, tape player, radio, ..., have been worn off. Anyone know how I can get it repainted?
