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.

Thank you all for responding!! I was able to find a used MC from a salvage yard with the rubber cup in the proportion valve intact. I do have a bleeder in the steering column and I cant get the bolt loose. I will be trying your advise on getting that loose.
As for the bleeding part, I'm going to try the conventional way first. With that said I have bleed my car brakes many times over the years. Are motorcycles basically same way, push on the rear brake pedal, hold, loosen bleeder screw, tighten bleeder screw, release rear brake pedal (Repeat, repeat, repeat)?
One dumb question: If I pump the brake pedal multiple times does the fluid travel up the line or am i just pushing it back and forth with every pump?
Thanks guys!!
