Voyager again

[Yammer Dan]

Voyager wants 30 bucks for a paper manual I'm told I don't want because is almost a joke and claims no CD for the Venture?? She seemed to have a attitude I think because I told her I bought a used kit and didn't seem to want to help. Anybody Know if there was a vid for hookup on Venture? Did the Paper manual have Pics of hookup??? If I sit and scratch my head enough I'm sure I can hook it up but sure would like to see how it goes and how to torque which bolts. All the stuff I find just tells how Great And easy they are!!! Easy if ya got it on there....... Any body got a manual I could borrow?? I'd send it right back and pay postage?? Or a CD. I think they were made no matter what she claims.

Dan, did the kit come off of a Venture and what year venture are trying to put it on? Also, did you get all the parts and hardware that goes with it?

[eagleeye]

After you posted that you got that, I watched a video on how to put it on and take it off, and it seemed REALLY simple.

Good luck, and you'll get it done. AND be back on the road!

Actually I couldn't believe how simple it was to put it on and take it off. Maybe I'm missing something.

[Yammer Dan]

Came off a Venture and I think I got all hardware. Just like to see how it hooks up! I think I got a manual on the way (maybe) Dude said he wasn't allowed to sell them. (understand that but we worked deal to E-Mail me copy just haven't got yet!) I just want to see pic of hookups to calm my brain!! Now if he would just send it!!!!

I had one on my first 99. Its not to hard to hook up but does take some time to get the right set up for ride and stability. If we lived closer I would come over and help you set it up.

Good video, but it doesn't show anything about how to install all the hardware. Or how to set the preload and tracking.

Dan, it's sort of like splitting the fairing on a 2nd gen for the first time, if you never did it before you're kinda skeered of screwing up, after the second time you are teaching others! (No I never did a Voyager but I'm sure they are a breeze)

[Yammer Dan]

You can split the faring on a 2nd Gen??? I didn't have to use that Saws All???

Where is @mirider when we need him? I rode Big Mac (his gorgeous 2nd Gen w/ a Voyager Kit) and it rode awesome.. As I recall, a dealership set his up for him but maybe he has a link to some install instructions or could snap a quick vid of what goes where on the belly of the beast... I do know that the two wheels you get from Voyager are suppose to go on the back DanL - hopefully you havent started with the sawsall and got em on the front all ready like @Marcarl did when he did his...

[Yammer Dan]

Sitting here thinking I hadn't seen the Puckster on here for a few and here he is!!! See what ya get for a buck a month!!! Maybe other folk cain't put them on the front Bro but..... I don't have Instructions!!!

[Yammer Dan]

I got manual but my kit is a little different. Think I can figure it out. Swapping between 1st and 2nd Gen little more involved than I thought.

That should keep you busy this weekend.

[Yammer Dan]

Saw a lot of them. Handy to keep around while getting used to it.

Don is not going to like that idea

Yeah, I might have a manual if needed (and if I can find it ) My rig was installed by a local dealer so I haven't had much reason to use the manual but, if I recall, it is pretty extensive, Yamaha Venture specific, and lots of pictures. Not sure I want to share with a guy that disses 2'nd gens all the time.... but if you need something Dan, PM me and I'll help if I can.

[Yammer Dan]

Thanks Dave. I got a manual by E-Mail from a guy down south. Not a great one and my kit is a little different but Its helping on those brackets. Only 8 pages with 9 pics?? My axel hookups are different on one side. My kit has a slot that slide over the axel and the kit shows a split ring that bolts around the axel?? Mine has same slot hookup on both sides. Make sense? Kit was a early one I'm guessing? 03 I think. We will see.

My kit does have the slot on the drive side and the split ring on the other....shouldn't make a difference ?

 

My manual has 7 different sections and about 30 pages with lots of pics. Might be worth the $30 if you are gonna have the Voyager for a while.

[Yammer Dan]

It was her attitude and the tone in her voice I won't give the 30 bucks to.

[Yammer Dan]

Got in touch with Mamamo She may have one!!

So how is the project coming along?

[Yammer Dan]

Not gaining much. Rear hookups on 1st Gen and 2nd look to bolt on with Brake caliper and bolt spacing is different. This is on head of axle side. Nut side may work. Belly Pan I'm not sure of yet. I got it because of the reading I did I figured I could put it on one of the 1st Gens. So far 2nd Gen just enough different to stop that. If the belly pan is interchangeable I may be able to drill holes for the back. It may take some time.
