allwx Posted July 1, 2011 #26 Posted July 1, 2011 Clanging noises most likely somewhere in the chassis. Frinstance, One day my old 97 RSTD started making a clanging noise when I went over certain types of bumps. The steering head nut had come loose. Took me two weeks to figure it out. There's lots of metal on these beasts, lots of things to clang against each other. I don't have much to complain about in my Venture, but I must say that the assembly of it was terrible. It took me a month to get all the kinks worked out. Some of it was factory, some of it was local dealer assembly. Once I got everything adjusted to my liking, the bike got under my skin.
fabioz84 Posted July 1, 2011 Author #27 Posted July 1, 2011 I wonder if this bike has this mod on it. Read the attached and check it out. Easy to reverse btw. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=501 All the other tips are very sound as well. No the bike does not have the "Jason Mod". It might be something ill do at some time though...
BuddyRich Posted July 1, 2011 #28 Posted July 1, 2011 Jason mod is a waste of time. Not enough flow thru a small vacuum port to affect anything really.

fabioz84 Posted July 1, 2011 Author #30 Posted July 1, 2011 Yep, saw that bike late last year. The seller had it out in front of a house just down from my daughter and son-in-laws in Antelope. Very out-of-the-crate clean. Sea Foam and a good run to Cody will take care of all the strange noises. He11 it ain't even broken in yet.... I'm over in Carmichael, and you're welcome to drop in and talk bike anytime. Condor, I sent you a pm with my contact info. Hope to hear from you soon.
MikeWa Posted July 1, 2011 #31 Posted July 1, 2011 Very nice bike. Great color. Take a minute and make sure the trunk mod has been done. Mike
Condor Posted July 2, 2011 #33 Posted July 2, 2011 newbie question, what's the trunk mod? The first few years the RSV trunks were plagued with cracking around the mounting screws on the inside. Y has two metal plates that fits in there to spread the stress out.
