  • 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.

      Tried out a Wing.

      I have been struggling with going from the Venture to a trike for several months, so I bit the dust and went to check out a nice Goldwing. It was a beautiful trike and well maintained so I was really interested in it. However, I had NEVER even sat on a Wing before, so I was not prepared for the experience. I was totally shocked at the cramped feeling I got when I got settled in on it before even starting it. I told the owner it felt tight and he said he was used to it. We rode it for about 30 minutes, and the cramped feeling kept getting worse. It was a wonderful ride on a bike that handled well, But I felt so uncomfortable and cramped I had to get off ASAP.  

      I know Honda makes a quality bike and liked the power it had, but I am going back to the drawing board to find trike with fuel injection that has more room for my long legs. And having owned a Harley Road King, I am not interested in another one.  

      I did see a Suzuki Boulevard C90 on Facebook that looks nice, so I am going to check it out this week.

      Good evening to all.  The weekend is gorgeous weatherwise and was able to do my yardwork yesterday.  Also checked all brake pads on the SVTC and RSV for my peace of mind during this riding season.  So far so good.  

      I got called in today for work, so right after church I was on my way to work.  Hope you enjoyed the weekend and have a relaxing night.  Ride Safe.

      I've never really seen the insides of a Stator.  Thanks for sharing the pics.  Looks to me there are a few burnt coil windings.  Best of luck on your project.  Looks like you are getting closer to replacing the main objective.  

      This afternoon, I was able to change oil on the SVTC.  Used T6 Rotella.
