Welcome to VentureRider. What started as a simple site for riders of the Yamaha Venture, Royal Star, Royal Star Venture and the Star Venture has turned into so much more than that. Though the great Yamaha Venture motorcycles are still our primary focus, we have many members who have eventually moved on to other brands/models or who have stopped riding altogether but still remain members dud to the lifelong friendships they have made on this site.
Whether you have questions about your bike, looking for parts, or just wanting to talk motorcycles and riding, this is the place to be. Our members are friendly and welcoming to all. My name is Don, Freebird in the forums, and I started this site around 15 or so years ago. I have met many of our members at our various rallies and meets and some I only know from their posts here on the site but am proud to call them friends, brothers, sisters. I like to think of this as our club, not MY club. I try hard to implement features that the members request. It's not always possible but I do try.
This is a subscription based club. You can read messages in most cases but can't post, search, and etc. without becoming a supporting member. We do offer a free 2 month trial however so you are welcome to check us out before paying the small $12.00 per year dues. Upon expiration of your trial membership, you will lose the ability to post messages. At that time, you can click on "Store" and then "Subscriptions" if you wish to continue. We hope you like what you find here. We have few rules but the major ones are no religious debate, no political debate, and no "X" rated content, nudity, dirty jokes, etc. We are a family oriented club so please keep things PG or at least PG-13 rated.

Sorry for the sporadic posts. been pulling my hair out over this.
I think i finally solved it. The cylinder that was dead at idle had a stuck idle jet in the jet block. I had used guitar wire to ensure the jet was open, ultra sonic'd it multiple times, and used compressed air trying to get it cleared out, with no luck. I took the best fitting screwdriver I had, sharpened it and managed to get the idle free without too much damage. Looking at the jet it was indeed clear, but when i stuck everything in the cleaner, black crap started oozing out of the jet block from the idle jet hole. Guess there was something in there that evaded all my attempts to get clean.
I am still picking up the parts bike -- i have a bastard child '84 xvz12 that is in desperate need of parts (xvz1200 everything mounted to a 1300 frame, and is in very rough shape.) I plan on getting offroad-esque tires for it, and will be taking it on the KAT next year with my brother and the maxim he picked up.

Now if I were the one to get this lightbar I would be tempted to go out and purchase a scooter to put it on. Or maybe modify the Spyder or the 86 I have presently in stock. My wife says,, NO!!!

Yankees are done. There is no way they will win 4 in a row.

Thanks. 1st I've been trying the fuel pump with both fuel lines disconnected and it only runs for a split second. I had to replace the fuel pressure sensor it was bad. I had found out on this site how to check it.
2nd Thanks for the advice on the screen. I drained all of the stale gas out and have a 1/2 tank of good fuel. I'll check tomorrow to see what is showing on the screen.
