No I don't mean road rage or Anti-Government speech. I just changed out my Final drive (aka pumpkin) to a set of V-max gears from Sportmax. Its been raining since I finished so I haven't had a chance for a test ride. But one thing that I have noticed is that the new Pumpkin seems to have about twice the backlash as the factory gears. When I ordered the part I did ask John, the owner of Sportmax, about the backlash and he stated that it would be set to factory spec. I felt like my factory set had a little to much, wasn't sure thought. Now I know that there are several parts of the drive train that contribute to the total amout backlash, and too little backlash is a recipe for problems (heat, gearwear, gearwhine and owner whine). So here's my questions to those who know? 1 - Can you measure the total amount of lash at the tire? ie Mark the tire tread, in gear, measure the total free play. 2 - If so how much free play should there be? Mine measure about two inches with the V-max setup. 3 - Could my factory set of gears been too tight and causing some of the gear whine? I have had the clutch basket changed once with no real good results. I should add that John at Sportmax was very nice and went out of his way to get me the parts quickly. So far he gets an A+ for service.

Hey Boss, Is there a way to include a separate total number of Supporting Members in the Mini Stats area? I'm always curious as to how many we have & would enjoy watching THAT number increase rather than the false number that now reaches almost 8400.

I know there are several threads on this but just wanted all you folks down south and those here in Canada that still have private insurance to feel good about your insurance rates. I just got my renewal notice for the scoot... 1 million 3rd party liability Underinsured motorist protection $1,000 collision deductible $500 comprehensive deductible Vehicle licence fee Total for one year = $2,071 (this has gone down since last time) Now here's the kicker... I have a clean driving/insurance record which means I get a whopping discount. If I did not, and if I had to pay the full rate, I'd be paying..... $4,162.00 ya'll feelin better???

Exaust Gaskets for Collector
elag posted a topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Just bought a collector for my 84 XVZ12. Looked up the exaust gaskets online for Yamaha origional. $20 each for the headers (4 needed) and $13 each for the mufflers (2 needed). Total $106 total plus tax. Seems a bit much for 6 metal rings. Just wondering if anyone knows of an aftermarket set available anywhere. -
After testing the waters, it looks like another 'Condor' fork brace group buy is in order. I checked with my supplier and we can get the same price as last year's at $50.00 bucks. So it'll be $60.00 total to your front door for those in the US, and $70.00 total for our VentureRider brothers north of the boarder in Canada due to the extra shipping costs. The flat rate shipping cost also covers the paypal fees. The braces will all be shipped via USPS Priority. Pic of the brace is attached. The Group buy has been closed off for some time now, but there's hope. Extra braces are still available and an ad has been posted in the Classifieds under 1stGen Parts. All payment info is also there. Thanks

Hey Don, Now that this is a "subscription site", will the VR Assistance List be changed to only include those subscribed? And what about the total members tally? It's currently showing well over 7K members. Will it only show the total paid members? Just curious. The membership fee now in place would still be a bargain at 5 times the amount. I've learned so much here & thank you, Don, & all the members for making & keeping this site so friendly. I think one would be hard-pressed to find another forum that has the overall great attitude that this one has. Well done. I've yet to actually meet anyone here, but look forward to that happening.
