Official Yamaha Gen1 Mechanic Training Videos - So Cool!

[VanRiver]

Found this 12 video series from Yamaha Canada related to the repair and maintenance of our Gen 1 Venture's. I'm a new member and this is my first post, so I'm hoping I'm not repeating something already posted.

 

These are the official Yamaha Service Department training videos, and as the "instructor" in video 12 says "are the basis for the multiple choice exam" that mechanics would need to write to receive their official Yamaha Venture maintenance certificate (they needed to get a 90% to pass the test!). The video quality is kind of crappy, but hey, it was put on Youtube from old dusty VHS tapes from the early 1980's, what do you expect!

 

Here are the topics the videos cover (So cool seeing our machines when they were fresh and new from the factory!):

 

-Engine and Chassis Maintenance -

-Engine Removal

-Engine Overhaul

-Engine Assembly

-Carburetion

-Electrical

-Fork Rebuilding

 

Here are the links to the youtube videos:

Or you can find them by doing a search at Youtube.com for "Yamaha Venture 1984-1992 Motorcycle Maintenance"

 

Hope you enjoy them as much as I did! I own two 1986 Venture Royale's that will benefit from these videos. Thanks Yamaha Canada!
