Mission Accomplished!!

Mike Portillo and I worked 3 days (1 full and two 1/2 days)
getting his '88 Venture Royale running right. We removed,
cleaned and bled 2 of 3 calipers, it had NO BRAKES at all.
Bled the clutch it was not disengaging, it shifts smoothly now.
Removed drive shaft grease and reinstall correctly so rear
wheel turns easy. Removed the steering, repacked
the bearings and adjusted, it was hard to turn and noisy.
Installed fork seals. Cleaned many parts soaked in oil,
dirty and rusty. Lubricated many moving parts, all levers
were hard to push or pull.

Next we need to check gas mileage, the Neutral light is
intermittent, engine shuts off when kick stand is down,
and starter needs to be cleaned and a better ground.


This is the third Venture I've done this on, it is
getting easier to do.

Mike and I had 3 days of fun, laughing and joking around.

Can't get Firefox to let me install any pics, dang.
Will use IE next time.

I copy and pasted this from Juno. Won't do that again.
