Sis and I road to work on the scoot today. When I parked the bike sis said hey look at that bike. I was like yeah nice bike. She said no look at it. I gave it a closer look and on the tank it said venture. I didn't even notice as I pulled up next to it to park. I took a pic with my phone. Not that good, but you get the idea. I bet they'll get along fine

I blew another fuse on my passing lamps this morning on the way to work. Had this happen a couple of weeks ago. Not sure what is going on. I pulled the faring and could not find a problem the last time. Guess I will pull it again on Saturday (suppose to Rain). Any Ideas? -
I finally finished with replacing the handlebars an cleaning up the wiring inside the fairing from all the electrical mods I've done. Changed the oil in the engine and the final drive. Decided to pour in a can of SeaFoam while I was at it. Started the bike to pump some oil into the filter before checking the final oil level. I let it run a bit to warm up good. It suddenly starting running rough and had a little exhaust popping. First exhaust popping I've heard since plugging the AIS a year and a half ago. When I tried to roll on the throttle real quick, it tried to stall. Then I remembered I had siphoned out most of the gas before I pulled the tank. It was probably running on mostly SeaFoam. I added the 4 gallons I had pulled from the tank back in and run it awhile. No change. Still rough with a little popping. I pulled out the Carbtune. They were off, but not real bad. I synced them and things did smooth out and the popping stopped. I could roll on the throttle without it trying to stall. Sound seemed different and the idle was lower than it was, but she was smooth running. Finished up a few things and went for a ride. Power seemed less than I remembered. I had to add more RPM to find a sweet spot. I seemed to be using more throttle. I was doing 80 and decided to see what she would do... made it to 100, but it was a slow to get there. Put about 50 miles on the bike and pulled into a convenience store. Decided I better buy some lottery tickets... might need them to fix this! When I got off the bike, I felt the cylinders. Both front were hot. Both rear were warm with the right rear being the warmest and the left rear just barely warm. Decided to buy 2 lottery tickets. Rode to work today (35 miles one way). Had to fill up before I got there. 22.75 mpg. Now a lot of that was wasted transferring fuel, idling and hitting the throttle hard a number of times, but that can't account for all of it. When I got home this evening, I pulled the left rear plug wire from the running engine... no affect. Pulled the right rear and the engine ran rough. On the left side, I noticed when I put the plug wire back on, the engine RPM would come up a little for a second or less then fall back off. Did it every time. It was like a little fuel made it into the cylinder while the wire was off and burned it quickly when the wire was put back on. I didn't have my tools out or have an easy way to check for spark on that wire, but from the reaction of the engine when I put it back on the plug, I would say it is firing. I pulled the air box that goes on top of the left side carbs while I was working on the bike. I'll check that to make sure I got it seated back in place and all the hoses replaced like they should be. I'll also make sure I am getting a spark on the left rear. Where do I go from there? I don't know much about carbs, but I guess I can learn with some help. Be this weekend before I can do much, though. What really amazed me was that this bike would push my 375+ pounds up to 100 mph on three cylinders and run smoothly while doing it!

What an awesome day it was today. Beautiful sunshine...warm... we went to the the insurance co and got a 1 day permit and took off around 11:30am ... just got back about 5:45pm. First ride of the year it was... first time ever that I smoked a Harley rider before the end of February!!! We are so pumped and exhilarated it's indescribable! I pulled her into the garage, put her up on the centerstand and gave her a kiss and a thank you for yet another safe and trouble-free ride. Gawd I love this scoot!

Can someone offer advice? I have an 06 RSV. Yesterday I washed her, and when I fired the engine, it was apparent that I had a cylinder down. Turns out to be the right rear. Pulled the plug wire and plug. Plug was wet. Took another wire off and put the plug to ground. It fired hot. Exchanged the plugs and the problem is still with the right rear cylinder. I tested the plug wire cap to ground and got a momentary resistance of around 14K...tried a working wire and got the same result. I haven't pulled the coil yet because it is like 18 degrees outside! I have a hair dryer blowing warm air on the coil in case it got wet, but so far no change. Thanks for any help you guys might have. :confused24::confused24::confused24::confused24::confused24::confused24:

I've had a small nail in my rear tire for a few days but the pressure wasn't decreasing so I wasn't too worried. I wasn't even sure if it had penetrated. I figure to have another thousand or so in this tire so I was just keeping an eye on it. But this afternoon the bike started getting kind of sloppy. It didn't want to lean over and then when it did, it didn't want to straighten up. I figured it was the tire. As I pulled back into the driveway I scraped the centerstand; that rarely happens! I checked the pressure and all but about 5 lbs of the air had FALLEN OUT on the road! In the garage I put it on the centerstand and took a look. Not only did I have my little fiend (the small nail), it now had a big bother! The small nail was toward the center, while the bigger one was over towards the side. I pulled the nails and the last of the air fell out all over the garage floor! Don't worry though, I swept it all out the door. (Now, I might have done the next few things in the wrong order.) I took the valve core out and figured the amount of RideOn to use, just over 7 ozs, and put it in. I cleared the valve stem, put the core back in, spun the tire some and aired it up. The air just rushed out. So I started the bike, put it in gear and ran it up a little. Added more air and out it came. I thought it was coming from the hole near the side so I plugged it with a standard tubeless tire plug. Aired it up and it seemed to hold, so per the instructions, I went for a 5 mile ride, leaning to the left as much as possible. By the time I got home I knew I had at less than 5lbs of air! Sure enough I had about 3lbs, and then I noticed something dripping from my hidden hitch. I looked up behind the wheel and the inner fender had a big stripe of RideOn on it!!! Apparently it was coming out of the small hole. I would think it should have sealed it! I decided to plug that one too. I haven't had a chance to ride since. I aired it up to 40lbs and I'll check it in the morning. I'm supposed to be going for a Thanksgiving ride tomorrow! I'm not real happy with RideOn at the moment. I have had it in tires before (one with a plug) but have never gotten a hole in them. Maybe I should have put the RideOn in before I pulled the nails, but I don't think that should make a difference. I don't know that I trust it now. Maybe if TireGooGuy sees this he can tell us why it didn't work. Below are some pictures. I didn't take any before I pulled the nails but you should be able to see where they were. As well as the RideOn on the hitch and fender. I'm not only cheap, but poor. I want to get all the mileage that I can out of these tires. They are at around 15k now. I have two new tires waiting in the wings but I'm not quite ready to give in! -
This morning on the way to Sam's Club, while in a left hand turn lane a 1stGen made a turn in front of me coming off the street I was about to turn onto. And...... I flipped a u-ee and chased him down to a hardware store he pulled into. If he hadn't of stopped I'da never caught him being as how those 1stGens are so fast and all. Pulled along side as he was sitting there and struck up a conversation. He lives in Cresent City, and keeps an '85 up there, and an '87 down here in Sacramento. His '87 is identical to mine only in one piece.... I envited him to our Dec 1st M&E and told him about the board. Hope he shows up. Nice guy.

Maybe this is bad timing or poor taste at the moment, but this happened to me yesterday. I pulled onto a four lane highway and headed into town. The next vehicle down was a garbage truck. (He was a ways down there. I had plenty of room.) It was still a bit dim and with a light mist in the air. Plenty of visibility, but it's extremely humid and my helmet visor wouldn't stay clear. I pulled off onto a side street where I took the visor off of the helmet, and put it in a sidebag so I could see. I put the helmet back on and get back on the highway. A few miles up the road I see there is an accident just after a crossroad. I hear sirens as police and an ambulance are just arriving. As I go by I see a minivan in the ditch, and the garbage truck is on the side of the road, looking like it's totally untouched. I'm guessing that the minivan driver didn't see the garbage truck and pulled out right in front of it. If someone didn't see a garbage truck, the person sure wouldn't have seen me. Sorry it was him, but glad it wasn't me. I would have been the one in the ditch rather than the minivan. The guy in the garbage truck probably wasn't hurt at all. If I hadn't pulled off the road to remove my visor, I would have still been in front of the garbage truck. :yikes:

My wife and I are thinking of getting back into tenting now that the kids can take care of themselves. So I have spent some of the weekend looking at trailers, I realy like this one http://timeouttrailers.org/specials.aspx and was looking for some comments/ advice on trailering with a motorcycle, I pulled a pop up with the car for the last 20 years but eyes thinks it's a little different with a scoot. Any comments would be willingly read and logged in upstairs as best as I can at my age. Cheers Keith.

I just put new clutch parts in my MM RSV. Got it all back together and the leaver is hard, no movement. I pulled the clutch back out to check the assembly and every things OK. I looked at the ball and short rod and they look fine try the leaver no movement. I loosened the bleeder and pulled the leaver got fluid, no air and the leaver moved to bleed but still no better with bleeder closed. I think the long rod is stuck. Any suggestions on how to get the rod out to check it? Do I have to pull the cylinder from the other side or is the a trick to getting it out? Thanks Rod

Ron and I were riding to Lawrenceburg, Indiana yesterday for their annual Fall Fest. We left home around 3PM in order to see the car show. As we pulled into a parking lot, I look around as I am getting off the bike, and much to my surprise there is a beautiful 2000 red RSV pulling up near us. I tried to hold in my obvious excitement, because we all know this is an unusual event unless you just pulled into a VR Rally or Meet & Eat. We were fortunate to meet BikeRider59 who lives in Lawrenceburg. A very nice guy. I am still excited. Nice meeting you Charlie. Peggy

Need a little help. Changed left rear exhaust donut, got it back together, checked plugs, all tan on porcelain. Has been sputtering at idle, pulled off the breather, upon rev up and back down, am getting a backfire (fuel, no fire) from the left rear cylinder. Doesn't do it constantly, only once per blip. Pulled plug wires one at a time, LR doesn't make much change, LF is definate miss, RF is questionable, same as rear. Doesn't seem to affect operation, pulls good with a good twist of the right wrist, even with rider on back. Doesn't seem like a clean burn out of the exhaust, either. It just feels like it is missing. Oh, also have gas on under side of breather box on left side, can't find source. Not dripping, just coated. 1 more thing, changed stator and regulator, is 14.6 at the battery too high? I have a couple spare regs to try. Help is appreciated. Will be back shortly, going back into garage to put plastic back on. Thanks in advance, Dan

http://labs.trunkful.com/LIT-11616-12-60.pdf I would hurry on this or if you can pass it around. Once the word gets out you can bet it will be pulled. It's a 53 meg file and also is not the fastest download out there. Also if you need the owners manual it is http://labs.trunkful.com/LIT-11626-16-15_18.pdf -
Ok, so some of ya'll probably remember I bought a '77 XS750 for $50 a month or so ago. I pulled the carbs off and cleaned 'em.. put 'em back together and figured I'd see if it'd turn over. I toss a charger on the battery and after a few hours go to take a look. I got lights to come on (neutral indicator and oil light) and when I hit the starter it clicked. I pulled the charger off and checked the battery.. bone dry... Not surprising as it sat for 3 years before I got hold of it. So I bought a new battery. Installed it and now I'm getting absolutely nothing. No lights, no pleasing click... nothing. I checked the fuses and none of them appear to be blown. I cleaned the connectors on the wires to the battery... I've poured through my shop manual.. I can't find anything. Any ideas?
