  1. Anybody know how to rebuild the speedo on a MKII? I have no idea where to start. My speedo on my 91 quiite working the other day. The odometer and the trip odometer are functioning so Im assuming its not the cable. Just not reading how fast Im going. Had to drive home using the tach to gestimate how fast I was going. Nay help will be appreciated. David
  2. I've owned a lot of scoots that top end was reached But the FJR its how fast it get there and its no comparision to a Crotch rocket,and I dont even want to try one either Today I reached the max what the throttle can give "Oh what A Feeling What A Rush" How can you look at the speedo at that speed ,ll I noticed that the dash Lines was belonging Solid ths was done one a old abondoned highway Yes The Deer and Moose were on my mind when I was travelling at that .. whats scary is the adrealin Rush I enjoyed it I really like travelling fast on a motorcycle, Boat and Snowmachine Yet I wont travel over a 100mph on a car ...." GO Figure???
  3. New Avon arrived today. Ordered it Sunday night from Competition Tires and they arrived today....That was fast! Free shipping too...
  4. My venture started leaking fuel from the left rear carb, the other day. the shops is telling me I need to replace, all the guts, in all four? neddles, floats? do they have to be replaced? do they wear out this fast? or can they just be cleaned?

    Neck wraps

    Does anyone know of a store that carries the cooling neck wraps, or do you have to order them online only? I want them before Friday, but I don't want to pay an extra $30-$40 for fast shipping.
  6. I am not using a laptop or a pc to access VR tonite. My son-in-law has acquired some brand new HP Thin Clients. They are small units that allow you to acess the www without having to worry about viruses or any other of those nasty little pest. They do not have a hard drive so you cannot download anything to it to save it. It is very fast. It has its own operating system and web browser. I am going to try to weasel one out of him if I can. He has about 8 of them for sale and is selling them for $150.00 if anyone is interested.
  7. Had friends drop by last night for dinner, and they were both on their own bikes instead of just one. My good friend, Julia, had gone out and purchased her first motorcycle (been licensed for a while, but didn't have her own machine) - a 2005 Kawasaki ZX-6 Ninja. Ok, it's not a Venture. In fact, it is the other end of the spectrum from a Venture... but I rode it. And it is FUN. Not even in the same hemishere for comfort, but very (scary) fast, very light, ultra-nimble and can stop on a nickel (or less) ... but 100% FUN. And for a 599cc engine.. it can fly ! I couldn't believe it didn't redline until 14,500 rpm until I took it for a spin. The tach seemed excessive, but I used all of it, and very, very quickly. There is absolutely no need for 4th or 5th gear as I hit "way too fast" in 3rd gear. I've been on much bigger "sport" bikes that couldn't match the acceleration. Anyways, to wrap up the report, I was very grateful to be trusted enough to take it for a ride. It hasn't seen much riding in a year or two and needs some Seafoam, and maybe a little tweaking of the carbs, which I will certainly help in any way I can. It's certainly not anything I would buy, or ever want to own, but I have to admit.. for the 20 minutes I was on it, I couldn't stop grinning. You never know until you try it, right ?? Enjoy MD everyone... I'm aiming for next year.
  8. Hi; I haven't seen this problem before so here goes. I got a cheap 87 VR 1300, the bike runs OK but rough ran Seafome thru it changed plugs. It helped a Little but still very rough Idle and back firing some manly on deceleration. I decided to sync. the carbs. Problem is the bike runs so rough the vacuum gages bounce so fast you cant see then, they just vibrate in a range of about 1/3 the gage blindingly fast? I have a sinking feeling its the valves are out of adjustment some thing fierce but thats just a guess. I'm hoping some one here is familiar with this condition and can give me a hand, any thoughts will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Pete

    FAST Cruisers

    Pretty fast for a cruiser. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qlzMA9ZYVg]YouTube- Fastest custom motorcycles[/ame]
  10. jac offerd a pair of Diamond R passenger hwy pegs up for sale at a great price. He claimed they were in great shape and since I had been considering getting a set for the boss, I jumped on them. Sent the paypal Sunday afternoon but for some reason (probably my fault) it didnt take the shipping fee. I got that sent out Monday AM. Got home from work Tuesday afternoon and there they were. Wow! That was fast. Not only fast, I dont see a scratch or blemish anywhere. Not what I expected for a used part. Thanks Jac!
  11. About a week ago I saw this WOOT item that converts older VCR tapes into .mpg files on the computor. It'll also burn the file to a DVD compatable. And the price was $29.95. So since we have a lot of classic tapes, I said 'what the heck' and bought one. It's basically a VCP with a USB plug, and some pretty neat software. ION VCR 2 PC And it works!! The only problem I'm finding with it is it doesn't work very fast. I basically have to view and record the tape in real time, but I can still let it to it's thing in the background while surfing. I just got through converting Star Wars 3 tape series.
  12. Have to be at Hospital at 6:00am for surgery, maybe they will do it this time. They say 3 times a charm. A 100 things I wanted to get done before I went in but not gonna happen, Really hard just to walk so I'll catch up after I recover. Also decided this will be a good time to try to quit smoking, 5-10 days in hospital without them should give me a good head start. I'll really be glad to loose this weight I've gained since the back went out again. Last time I gained 80lbs and dropped it real fast after surgery, hoping I can drop this 100lbs as fast. Well if all goes well tomorrow I'll be back on in 5-10 days. Wish me luck.
  13. While I was working on my light bar adapter and wiring tonight, I noticed that my left signal light is acting wonky.. You know how the signal lights will blink fast when you have a dead bulb? Well, what happens with mine is that the signal light will work..... and then start going fast.. I tried the 4 way flashers and no worries there at all... but when ever I select the left signal light and leave it alone, not touching the bike at all.. it will eventually start flashing fast... I changed the bulb, pulled and tugged and pushed against all the wiring in that area and nothing shows up.. it will work fine.. then later when I engage the left signal light it most likely will do the fast flash.. Front and rear bulbs are working properly.. Is there something else I should look at? Flasher relay perhaps? Fun fun fun!!
  14. OK, You guys back east kept talking about snow and wished it on us on the west coast. Now I can not go for a ride. Cabin fever setting in fast and it has only been snowing for two hours, just enough on ground to make it slick. About an half an inch.
  15. Wife and I were riding the Foothills Parkway from Townsend to the lake and back Friday 11/13/2009 around 1:30-2:00. Someone on a Blue Venture came out of one of the overlook pull offs up ahead of us. I did not realize it was a Venture until we had to stop for a couple of rockets that got stopped for going too fast. Anyway, just wanted to say if it was you...NICE Bike!!! We were on the Silver Venture. You turned right toward Maryville and we turned left torward the Dragon but did not go there, just turned on around and got back on the Parkway going back.
  16. some of you may remeber when i got my new puppy "duece" a few months ago just thought i would share how fast he is growing..the first two are before and the second are today he is sooo much fun
  17. I got home from our long trip to PA where I experienced a weird shut down which turned out to be a weird fuel pump issue. I was emailing a friend about it and he details to me how his bike is shutting down on the side of the road but restarting again after a few minutes. Strangely enough, I asked him if his signal lights are flashing fast to which he replied he 'thought' they had but they are not consistent. He's pretty sure they flashed rather fast when he was pulling over onto the shoulder when the bike conked out. I sent him the info of what happened to mine so he can see about getting his fuel pump checked out. I'm tempted to call the Yamaha tech reps to find out if these fast flashing signals are a trouble shooting diagnostics.. Hmmm I'm happy to report that after the fuel pump was replaced on my bike, it's been awesome and working so well that we even climbed Mount Washington on the way home.. Just had to do it because it was there.. (note: it's a much easier climb up now as they paved the last part up to the summit now.. there is only a short dirt section left.. but it's so easy to climb now.. )
  18. So erhm on a recent trip to and from NYC, I'm rushing through Maine at a decent pace late one night / early morning when all of a sudden over the rise I come up onto a brown car in the fast lane, and he ain't going fast.. so I swing over to the right, flash of lights and signal to alert the driver of my intentions of passing him on the right cause apparently the slow drivers love the left lane and won't budge.. but the closer I got to him it was ooops, State Trooper.. Ooooh.. Ok hi there.. A quick peek at the speedo shows me doing closer to the speed limit than I had thought so no worries.. but when I slid past him I got the lights to pull over. Anticipating this, I come onto the binders and pull over to the far right in time to watch him shoot past me and have to reverse until he can stop behind me like he oughta.. I'm WAY over to the right, almost to the ditch to make sure the gentleman won't be in harm's way when he comes over to me. Me, being a kind and decent soul have no one to blame but myself for speeding so I'm not going to make his life difficult for my sillyness. Nice guy eh? He sashays up to me like a Trooper would, hand on gun, ready for anything.. "Do you know why I stopped you" he asks.. "No sir, I do not know why you stopped me.. why did you stop me?" "You have NO idea why?" he asks again.. Erhm again my answer is no. "I pulled you over for speeding. May I see your driver's license and registration" he requests. He goes off to his car, takes a while and then comes back and asks "Do you know how fast you were going?" "Yes, I was doing the posted speed limit..." "Oh no you weren't he declared, otherwise I would not have pulled you over for speeding.. How fast do you think you were going?!" again he asks.. "Without trying to make an argument out of this, I earnestly believe I was doing the posted speed limit, hence why I was able to pull over onto the shoulder so quickly while you shot past me like you did. I believe YOU were travelling much slower than the posted speed limit in the wrong lane..." was my response.. After this goes on for a few minutes, he hands me a warning ticket with no posted speed declaration on the ticket.. The poor guy had no means of knowing how fast I was going since I came up to him from behind so quickly, and pulled over before I got in front of him enough to get a bead on me.. And though I'm not from Maine, I would daresay that he can't issue a speeding ticket without a tag on my speed.. either by Ladar or by my own admission.. Mom said I was born at midnight, not last night Needless to say I locked my cruise control down to the posted speed limit after that until I got back into Canada lol.. But the question (after a long story, sorry) is that can a Trooper give you a ticket only by his gut sense that you were speeding or does he need a confirmation of such?
  19. APRIL FOOLS!!!! YOU REALLY DIDN'T THINK I WOULD GIVE UP A FAST FIRST GEN DID YA.:rotfl::stirthepot:
  20. Had another 200 mile ride today, this time with Laura with me. At least 50 miles of it was as curvy as the Dragon and most of it was 55mph. It is amazing that North Carolina has some really snakey curvy roads thru the mountains with 55mph speed limits that you could not go that fast with a Lambrogini. I saw the 80º on my thermometer as I was coming into Asheville and it felt sooooo good. This gave me a little better workout with the new Elite III on the front and it also felt good. RandyA
  21. i'm thinking about selling my kaw. zx14. i have had it about 2 years and only have 1345 mi. on it. i have $17,000.00 invested in it and just don't have time to ride it. it is one awesome ride. and is in brand new condition. i keep it in my heated work shop year round. it has all the go fast goodies, chrome wheels, and alot of carbon fiber stuff. basically a street legal drag bike with awesome sport bike handling. it has boz bros. stainless gp full exaust system, custom dynajet program, msp air shifter, msd shift light, and to many other things to list. it also inludes a not yet installed extended swing arm. this is one awesome looking bike and unbelievably fast. i have decided with a little prodding from my family that i need to face the fact that i'm not a kid antmore. if anyone may be interested i am asking $11,000 for it firm, and i have the title. not sure whether i will advertize it yet but thought i would try word of mouth for awhile. bill
  22. Thought this might interest some dog people and police officers This police dog is so fast, you have to watch this a few times to appreciate it. Go dog, go!! __________________ http://i35.tinypic.com/2nr08ck.gif

    Bad fuel pump?

    My 86 Venture Royale has 32000 miles and has been running excellent, but now it won't run at all except at a fast idle and that with the choke full on. Is this a bad fuel pump symptom? Thanks for any advice.
