well my new to me bike has a brake lite modulator on it. I think it makes a big difference cars seem to give me more room. The factory lamp still works also. Its a lot brighter than stock bulb.

does that put us with the spiders off of movie.

I have the metal box part of a radio for a 83. if its the same you want to try it.

well if you look down the carb bore. Can you see the needle sticking in there. if you can you can cut the body like they did in the pic. I smoothed off the cut more and found it was 1/4 inch past the base of tube. Two of them I never got loose but the other came loose with warm oil and time. Good luck

I like my heal toe on the second gen. took a day to get the hang of it now don't want to go back im spoiled

lol very true

Im around also. looks like we got a few local friends on here. turtle we will have to get together. Find out who is a better b,s,er lol You guys need to go on rootbeer run nice area to ride. eusa1 has a great ride set up.

Also loosen up the idle screw see if that drops idle down. If the idle is set to high will not slow down once warmed up. temp makes a difference on mine

When you wiggle the throttle control is there free play before it moves carbs. If the cables are not set right it will not go back to idle by itself. You have to turn it back. It could be a frayed cable also. these have a push and a pull cable on throttle. The pilot jet is for idle circuit. Only works to around 2500 rpm aprox. On the left side just below the neck is a terminal box where the cables connect. If its like the 83s you should be able to see if there where they should be has reference marks on it.

looking good there turtle.

I got 127 miles on mine and your right felt real good. Was supposed to go riding today also. But had to work on a fridge instead. Don't know anything about fridges just cleaned up under it and moved controls around and it started working. Wish I could have been riding.

also don't use either. on a lot of tractors the key turned backwards and held heats a glow plug in the intake.

well there is a wire that hooks to injection pump test it and see if you have power unless its pull kill then make sure lever is bottomed out

well my miles for start of season. is 40107 what do you have for start of season.

lol. I have a hard time getting my leg over bike seat. this may be normal. its more my back than anything. and gut

you will just have to drive the miles out of it till your down to cheaper than renting it. Then your even. And got to enjoy your investment. I have my old bike down to 50cents a mile and I got all that enjoyment out of it. I don't know why I don't want to turn wrenches any more. but it is what it is. Enjoy make it yours. Looks good

Had one 8 track when I got my first car. Bought the player and tape same time. Schools out by alice cooper. Ford mustang 289 fastback 67

well I think I need to do the same thing. want a lot of things still so going to have to part time it. maybe make enough to go to Arizona for a month next winter. lol

no not yet didn't do pay pal correct stutter finger

well it was my bone head move that was the problem. its a good thing hes is not the asterisk. lol

I ordered two vr decals but they never showed up. Did I do something wrong. Money changed hands ok. domed type.

thanks for the replies. Think I will see if there leaking if not will wait till next winter to replace. will use a little rtv to seal cracks on valve cover gaskets. that's what I did with my 83 and I got buy with out the oil leak. will drive it this year and see if there are other things needed also. they don't look good so I am going to replace them next winter. HOPE winter is about over I have the itch bad. ps thanks again

I think my new to me bike is a bit louder than I like but not going to change it. like to hear radio.

well took off the bling today. The carb boots are cracked all over. Its bad enough I want to change them out. What does it take to get carbs off of these bikes its a 2001 venture. Also would like to change valve cover gaskets while there. Is there room to get them out. Any vender members sell these parts. Also how do you drain carbs like on the first gens they look totally different.

they had had a flat and was using a snake for a tire. riding on trail that was
