Welcome to VentureRider. What started as a simple site for riders of the Yamaha Venture, Royal Star, Royal Star Venture and the Star Venture has turned into so much more than that. Though the great Yamaha Venture motorcycles are still our primary focus, we have many members who have eventually moved on to other brands/models or who have stopped riding altogether but still remain members dud to the lifelong friendships they have made on this site.
Whether you have questions about your bike, looking for parts, or just wanting to talk motorcycles and riding, this is the place to be. Our members are friendly and welcoming to all. My name is Don, Freebird in the forums, and I started this site around 15 or so years ago. I have met many of our members at our various rallies and meets and some I only know from their posts here on the site but am proud to call them friends, brothers, sisters. I like to think of this as our club, not MY club. I try hard to implement features that the members request. It's not always possible but I do try.
This is a subscription based club. You can read messages in most cases but can't post, search, and etc. without becoming a supporting member. We do offer a free 2 month trial however so you are welcome to check us out before paying the small $12.00 per year dues. Upon expiration of your trial membership, you will lose the ability to post messages. At that time, you can click on "Store" and then "Subscriptions" if you wish to continue. We hope you like what you find here. We have few rules but the major ones are no religious debate, no political debate, and no "X" rated content, nudity, dirty jokes, etc. We are a family oriented club so please keep things PG or at least PG-13 rated.

So after nearly a month I finally fixed the issues with my RSTD.
Replaced and relocated the fuel filter after fighting to get it out of the original position, what a poorly thought out placement for something that requires changing annually or every couple of years. Piss poor design!
As for the sputtering and loss of acceleration power, turns out the huge, ugly air box wasn't properly attached.
The bike is running better now than it did last year when I first purchased it.
On top of increased power no more decel backfiring beyond what might be expected. I'll fine tune the air/fuel mix to see if I can rid it completely.
Also now have to reset idle. With the repairs it's reving a bit to high at idle.
To those who reached out with thoughts and ideas, much thanks.
God bless and have an awesome riding season!

7 hours ago, FeRanger said:I just bought a 2007 Venture and the digital speedometer is currently displaying km/h. I have search the internet and found several different ways to change the display to mph. Unfortunately none of the suggestions work. The one site said if their suggestion didn’t work I would have to take it to the Yamaha dealer for them to change the display. Does anyone have idea why my bike seems to be “stuck” in km/h? Thanks in advance for your help.
The bikes sold in the U.S. have a standard printed speed above the digital screen. I’m unaware of a way to change the digital display other than changing out the whole cluster.
