Picked up a 84 Venture.

[zukidave]

Didn't see a project topic so I'll post it here.

 

Picked up a 1984 Yamaha Venture royal last night

so I can keep the G/F off the KZ.

Buddy Eric got it last month from the orig. owner

and let me have it for the $1000 buck's he gave for it.

Last taged in 1989 and been store'd inside since so

it'll need a little work to run.

 

The to do list.

Clean gas tank.

Go through the carb's.

New tire's'

Service all fluid's

Little wiring work at the fuse box.

On to some pic's.

Not in terrible shape it doesn't seem like. There are plenty of threads on fuse block upgrades, I have done every 1st gen that I have owned and many of the members. Go into the search bar up top and type in Fuse or Fuse Block and lots of threads will come up. Skydoc 17 has a kit he sells in the classifieds under the member vendors area. I have gone a bit different route than his, but his works just as good.

 

If you have questions, ask them, we'll help you along. The search bar is your friend as well....welcome to the Venture world

 

BTW, I see your in Austin, if you need a hand let me know. I have had many of these bikes naked and back together again.

Fuse box is no big deal I'll wire in a blade type.

Lookin in the gas cap lot's of rust so look's like the rear

sub frame has to come off to get it out right ??

 

Here's my other bike an '80 model KZ650F1 with

an '83 GPz780 motor.

Go's 7.60@90.00 mph 1/8th mile with a 1.70 60 foot time

and can still ride it to work all week if I want.
