[gear jump under acceleration]

Bummer. I'm guessing all my hot dogging caused it to finally rear it's ugly little head. I'm kinda hoping that if I ride easy, I might make it until winter. Would a V-Max transmission have the same problem? I had considered putting one in even before this problem cropped up. My plans were to strip it to the frame this winter and correct any and all problems that I found as well as give it a new paint job.

 

My 87 Venture was doing the same thing .IT FINALLY TOTALLY QUIT MOVING.THE SPRING LOADED CAM DAMPER gear busted into 4 different pieces

Snopes has different version about the picture...

 

Who in the hell cares about snopes-its a GEORGE SOROS FUNDED ORG.

Perhaps.

But US didn't enter World War I until 1917.

 

THE WAR STARTED IN 1914 every one knew that:no-no-no:. at we would be involved in the conflict-THE YOUNG WARRIOR NEVER CAME HOME !!!!

[1987 Venture With Transmission Problems]

I am a newbie ! Just purchased a 1987 Venture 'i bought it cheap-but probably not cheap if

My problems are more than the seller had a so called motorcycle mechanic tell him that it needed

A clutch ???WHEN TURNING THE ENGINE OVER WITH WRENCH ON FLYWHEEL IN GEAR HAS A POPPING

NOISE ON LEFT SIDE OF TRANS-IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT GEAR IT IS IN DOES NOT ROTATE DRIVESHAFT OR UJOINT ???

I have studied the trans diagrams ,it appears to me either spring loaded cog is messed up or has a broken spring. ?????

Please give a feed back on this-i am new to these bikes-YOU GUYS KNOW MORE THAN ME ON THIS

PLEASE HELP- THANK YOU. JIM :confused24:

[transmission problems -too much backlash]

Hi Venture Friends

I am a newbie to Venture rider I just bought a 1987 Venture 1300_ I bought it cheap and of course

Has its problems .

All the diaphyrams in carbs are busted no problems with handling this problems.

MY BIG CONCERN IS THE TRANSMISSION-'THE REAR WHEEL WAS JUST STUCK ON . I REMOVE WHEEL

TO TEST DIFFERENTIAL ETC--FOUND LOTS OF PLAY IN TRANS. I COULD MOVE DRIVE SHAFT APPROX

90 degrees back and forth except for 5th gear in which was nor mal

I drain oil no signs of metal in oil . My question what should back lash be when rotating driveshaft-

WHY IS IT SO MUCH PLAY IN 1 thru 4 but. 5th to me is nornmal

Thanks. Jim C. Carson City. Nevada:bacp
