1999 to Present Venture-Rear Shock Replacement

[Jake]

Greeting's,

 

I have an interested party attorney that would like to know how many times both in & out of warranty any of you have replaced your rear shock absorber,both OEM & aftermarket on your 1999 to present Royal Star Venture. There may be cause or claim to a class action suit against Yamaha for intentionally producing a defective product.

 

Thank's and fell free to pm me with any question's.

3rd one on my 2001 rsv

[Beau-Kat]

Once on my MM.

[XV1100SE]

My 2009 needed the shock replacement within the 5 year warranty

[RedRider]

2000 changed OEM shock at about 110,000 miles. Installed Baron.

 

RR

[eusa1]

4 under warranty with a lot of kicking and scratching, im on 5th one now at 210.000 miles

[Freebird]

Replaced the one on the '99 that I sold Dan with an aftermarket at around 25,000 miles.

[Mike G in SC]

Both my 2006 RSTD and 2009 RSV had them replaced under warranty.

(I got a great dealer, Extreme Sports Yamaha, Sumter, SC. Service spotted they were leaking when doing a rear tire and ordered the part before I knew it.)

Still running both bikes on the replacements so far.

[Rolltide]

Still running original on 2009 RSV with 42K.

[utadventure]

I have a '99 and I'm confident that it has been replaced, as there is no longer a schrader valve for the rear shock.

 

Dave

[videoarizona]

None on 89 VR with 46K miles

None on 05 RSV with 56K miles

 

Both still working fine with no leaks (knock on wood)

[Yammer Dan]

Replaced the one on the '99 that I sold Dan with an aftermarket at around 25,000 miles.

 

 

I've never replaced the one on my 99

[bostonlawman2003]

[Drews]

Replaced at 60000

[turtle]

P.O. did mine with aftermarket before I bought it about 42,000 it is a 99.
