I finally finished installing all the crankcase covers. The dealer ordered the wrong gaskets. I don't understand how, when they have a picture right in front of them, and I pointed out the gaskets I needed. I topped off the fluids and went for a ride. The Temp gauge wouldn't quit climbing. Well, long story short, Rocket to the rescue. I now know there is a by-pass valve to assist in bleeding off any air in the system. I will continue to monitor this with short rides until there is overheating issues. Thanks Rocket! :happy34: -
Friends: Facebook does not appeal to me, never has. I tried it, added one or two friends, and I have only made a couple of entries in 3 years, and only checked it about twice a year. Now we hear of all the politics and corruption, and security problems, and now to top it off Mark Zuckerberg, a billionaire and co-founder of FB, called the users of Facebook, and I quote: "Dumb f**ks". ( he used ALL the letters!) How can you stay in a place like that? I prefer MySpace because its rich in media content and I've met many good friends there. Sure, its not perfect, but good enough for me! I plan to stay on MySpace. Below are several links dealing with the problems of FB, and quitting FB, or heck, just google "how to quit facebook". I know some of you are addicted and will never quit. At least look at some of these pages and then make your decision, with full knowledge of the outcome. ______________________________________________________________________________ http://www.businessinsider.com/well-these-new-zuckerberg-ims-wont-help-facebooks-privacy-problems-2010-5 http://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-myspace-busted-for-telling-advertisers-which-specific-users-clicked-on-ads-2010-5 http://wcco.com/goodquestion/quiting.facebook.question.2.1701767.html http://www.newsweek.com/id/183180 http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-quit-facebook http://www.wikihow.com/Quit-Facebook http://techguylabs.com/radio/ShowNotes/Show668#toc3 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_y7mMlKgjY]YouTube- Leo Laporte Deletes His Facebook Account[/ame]

Thought I had a buyer for my motor home coming by. So went to clean it up and check out everything. All went OK 'til I turned on the fresh water pump. Pump pumped up and quit, then started pulsing. Now I hear a hissing noise behind the shower wall! Ok, just another thing to add to my "list", no biggy:( But now Darn-it!!!! chances are up to 30% Friday

Are you tired of those sissy 'friendship' poems that always sound good, but never actually come close to reality? Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship. You will see no cute little smiley faces on this ~Just the stone cold truth of a great friendship. When you are sad ~ I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad. When you are blue ~ I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you. When you smile ~ I will know you are thinking of something that I would probably want to be involved in. When you are scared ~ I will rag on you about it every chance I get until you're NOT. When you are worried ~ I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit whining. When you are confused ~ I will try to use only little words. When you are sick ~ Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have. When you fall ~ I will laugh at your clumsy ass, but I'll help you up. This is my oath .... I pledge it to the end. 'Why?' you may ask ~ because you are my friend. Friendship is like peeing your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel the true warmth. Send this to 10 of your closest friends (including the one who sent it to you). Then get depressed because you can only think of 4.

I have been noticing some crackle in two if my speakers with the radio on one front an one rear both left side. These should be covered under warranty right. Or is there a better speaker upgrade for these systems. Also the cassette deck quit an yes i use sometimes. Just wondering if I would be better off taking it in or upgrading the speakers myself replacing the rear speakers myself makes me kinda nervous .

My wife and i were riding to work this morning about 5:30. We were crusing about 50 mph through a curve when 4 deer suddenly jumped out of the ditch in front of us. I hit the brakes and managed to thread our way through the deer without hitting any. There was only about a bike length between the deer. I had to stop and wait until I quit shaking so we could continue the trip. The car behind us stopped and stated that he did not believe we made it through without hitting any deer.

One of my best friends passed away suddenly Thursday. He was told only 2 weeks ago that he had lung and brain cancer while being treated for a bad cold at the hospital. The doctor told him that he may have up to a year left but only made 2 weeks. The bummer was no one knew but his wife, he denied anything was wrong and kept saying he hoped the cold would clear up so he could stop coughing. His way of dealing I guess. It was bad to have to say goodbye while he was lying in the casket. Makes one realize just how quick any of us could be gone. He was 73 and only retired 6 months ago. I tried for years to get him to quit so we could do some traveling in our RVs but he always said he would when he got more bills paid off. All I can say is if you can quit and enjoy life do it while you can still enjoy it, I know I am, my house is going on the market this spring and as soon as it sells you will see the wife and I passing you somewhere on the highway while we are visiting all the states. That is my goal anyway. Sorry for the rant but needed to vent a little. Merry Christmas to you all and I hope we all see the new year.

When out riding I will stop at a bar and have a Soda. Won't drink anything stronger when I'm on bike. Thing is I stopped this afternoon and ran face to face with a guy I hadn't seen since June 14th 2006 at 9:58 PM. Anybody know him yet?? After a short conversation with this guy I left and came home. I know if I had started I would not have been able to quit. Might have got my ass kicked I'm not the guy I was then but fear of that didn't stop me I was afraid I would kill him. He was drunk this time also and I told everybody in the bar what he did to me and he denied it. I'm shaking as I write this and might be stupid enough to go back. The pain and everything this A-hole caused me and he claims it wasn't him. Then he claims he was backing off the road. Got tounge tied and couldn't get lies straight. When I left I pointed at everyone else in the place and said. You folks all have a great night then ended up with my fingeralmost touching his nose ans said " And you go straight to hell" Walked out and waited in parking lot for about 10 minutes. No show and I think I'm glad. OK I'll quit. I just never wanted to hurt someone so bad in all my life and I didn't??? Must be getting old.

1984 Venture Royale: I've owned it a few weeks, been riding it to work everything has seemed to be working well. Filled with fuel and came home and parked the bike. My wife got home a little less than an hour later and suggested we take the bike and go out to dinner, "great idea Honey". I get the bike out of the shed, clean the bugs off the windshield, fire it up and we head out the driveway. Everything was functioning nomally up to this point. As we headed up the driveway, the engine stumbled a little, then caught, then stumbled again, acting like it wasn't getting fuel, thumbed the choke for a second, she caught, then stumbled and quit. Tried to restart,she would fire and run a few seconds but wouldn't take much throttle, and quit again. Same thing three or four times. I thought hmmmm clogged fuel filter? malfunctioning pump? restriction in fuel line? plugged tank outlet? Pushed home and parked in the driveway and took the pickup . Next morning tried to start it, same thing, run a few seconds and quit. Didn't havetime to tear into it so left it sit for a couple of days. Came back disconnected fuel output line from filter, flow was good.... disconnected fuel line from carbs and cycled ignition, flow and pressure were good?????hmmmmm. Hooked everything back up and she fires up and runs fine.... ??????? Am a bit nerveous to get the horse too far from the barn. Any thoughts? -

Got "Ugly" out to burn out the old gas today. Ran Great!! I didn't want to come back. But started home and stopped to fill back up about a mile above my house. Where I'm well known!! Filled her up and she drew some lookers of course. Told them she was 25 yrs old and ran good. Started her up dropped her into 1st. And she quit. Laughed and tried her again. Fired right up after the slow turn thing. Dropped her into gear . And she quit!!! Had to push her out of the way and play with sidestand switch a little and off I go... I have greased that thing, replaced it, greased it and I guess I'll do it again!! She could have picked a better spot. Friend??? offered push when she was cranking slow.. But still GREAT RIDE!!

On the way home from work I noticed that my turn signals hads quit working. Then I noticed that all the computer display was blank although the tach was still working, then that quit. When I got home and put the kickstand down everything came back. If I put the ks back up it all went out again. Now, after sitting, it's back to blank when I turn on the switch. I have tried plugging in another computer to no effect. I don't know if the other computer is good but I've checked it out and don't see any noticeably bad solder joints. I also have a nib reserve lighting unit that I am going to try. Anybody have any ideas? I've got my laptop here in the garage with me. -
Had half a day to spare today so thought I would continue cleaning up the VR. Started up first shot with a little choke, let it warm up for 5 minutes then it just quit. Restarted OK but immediately quit again. Started again but kept a bit more throttle on and the engine kept running but would cut out/slow down then pick up again. Without stalling, sometimes the tach would go direct to zero then back up again. Didn't have the tools handy or the time to start investigating but been thinking the jumping tach might be an indication there is something not right with the TCI. Could be just connections, I hope. Any suggestions as to what might be causing the problem would be greatly appreciated.

I am curious to know how many of our members have been smokers once in their lives and have since quit....due to health reasons or because it is not socially acceptable any longer. Watching old movies or re-runs of all the shows we watched in the 50's and 60's always portrays people smoking. Especially the old sitcoms. Everyone smoked. Lucy and Ricky...Dick Van Dyke...Ward Cleaver etc. etc. etc. I quit smoking in May, 08 and although I am very proud of myself...I miss it. What are you're thoughts?

Finally figured it out. It's Skid's fault I don't have time to get my bike fixed!!!! If he would quit catching all those bad guys I wouldn't have to watch them!!

The other day my speedo quit working while I was in Marshfield. I just figured it had froze up and snapped my cable again. But I thought it was kind of strange for that to happen when it wasn't making any noise before it quit. After I got home I started tearing the things apart to get at the speedo. when I got the cable off the speedo I noticed there was nothing inside. When I looked at the other end, it had come loose and fell off and the center slid out somewhere along the road. D'OH!

I purchased a 05 rsv back in April.There are lights on the front forks instead of reflectors.They are approximatily 1x3,one of them has quit working.Does anyone have any idea where they may of been purchased?They are LED. Thanks Kilowatt

Greetings, while on vacation this past week, I discovered that the dash lights on my '05 RSV don't work. I'm speaking of the back-light that illuminates the speedometer. When dark, I cant see the speed or the gas gauge. Makes for some nerve racking riding. The last night ride prior was about a month ago, and it worked then. The only thing that has been done is the bike has been washed twice since then. Any ideas as to why it quit working? Are there regular bulbs or some type of LED lights there? Is this something that maybe I can fix, or do you recommend the dealer? Would this be a warranty item? Thanks in advance for any help.

I left for work yesterday morning like usual before daylight and just pulled out on the highway when the bike sputtered and died. I started it up again and it run for just about 5 seconds and each time it would run even less till it would not run at all. I pushed it about 500' back to the shop, by the way it is not an easy bike to push and loaded it up on the trailer and took it to Broken Arrow, Ok to the dealer where I purchased it. They told me it would be 14 working days before they could even look at it. I called another dealer and told him the same story how it just sputtered and quit and he said it sounded like the fuel pump and that he has seen a rash of bad fuel pumps this year. Has anyone else had this problem? This is the first time in 36 years of riding that I have had a bike quit me other than a flat tire. Just glad I hadn't gone to far from the house. Ride safe!
