I'm trying to find the right tires for my Venture. Currently it has Avon Venom's, but I don't like these, as they follow groves and ridges in the road badly. I think I would like to get MICHELIN Commander II's. But the largest front tire they have is 130/90-16. They have a 150/80-16, but it is a rear tire. Don't really want to put that on the front.

XV1100SE, Great Instructions and pictures! Thank you! I changed the filter fairly quickly due to your excellent instructions!!

I tighten up the adjustment (made less free play) on the cable connected to the cruise control diaphragm. The cruise works fine on up hill but cuts off on down hills. Maybe I should make a little more free play?

Thanks for the help. I adjusted the Cruise cable free play, and throttle cable free plays, and it is working better. I'm getting used to the Set then Accel Sequence. This Cruise needs some Crew Chiefing to learn how to get in to work. But it still cuts off on decelerate. Like on a downhill, or even you you push the decelerate 2 or 3 times. It handles up hills OK.

I bought a 2007 Venture this week, and the cruise control won't stay set for long. I'm trying to figure out how to adjust it. But I can't find the actuator and vacuum pump. And don't know how to adjust them. I heard they are under the y lower left and right panels or covers, but can't find them. Anyone know where to find these parts and what to adjust? Thank you!
