  1. While your in there replacing the hose you may want to go ahead and replace the o-rings that connect part numbers 19, 50 and 37 to that assembly. The o-rings usually start to leak when messing with any of the hoses connected to that assembly. Will most likely save you future headaches.
  2. We made it home about an hour ago, great seeing everyone again. Thanks to all who make this happen, already looking forward to Vogel next year.
  3. I was finally able to pick up my 2018 Venture from the shop after a complete rebuild of the motor which was covered under warranty. I haven't had a chance to ride it yet because of heavy rain starting as I was unloading it off the trailer, but the service tech put about 100 miles on it before changing the oil. The bike does sound good though.
  4. Prayer's for the family.
  5. Tina and I are booked a cabin near the campground with Dave and Rosemary. Thought I had already posted.
  6. Prayers for both of you.
  7. Just received word from my dealer that Yamaha finally approved the warranty work. Parts were ordered on Wednesday hopefully will have bike back within a few weeks or so. Total rebuild of motor and bearing replacement of the transmission.
  8. I had the cam lifter failure on my 2018 Venture back on November 19th. Took it in to the dealer on December 7th for diagnostics. I spoke to my dealer on December 20th and they were writing the estimate for the warranty work and was already at $8,000.00. They have been back and forth with Yamaha trying to get the approval for the work. Yamaha keeps giving them the run around, the dealer thinks that it will eventually will be approved but know idea when. I already have three trips planned for the year on the bike so I have been looking to see if I can come across a deal to pick-up a back-up bike. I ended up finding a good deal on a 2009 Kawasaki Voyager so I pulled the trigger. Wanted something that was fuel injected so I wouldn't have to worry about the carbs if it didn't get ran a lot. This is the only picture I currently have of the bike so I figure I would at least post one.
  9. I currently have a 2018 Venture that is in the dealership due to cam failure, luckily still under warranty. Hopefully after this repair it will last 100,000 miles or so then I will probably replace it with a Harley or Indian with fixed fairing.
  10. Sorry to hear this, Prayers to the family.
  11. If you can find a used set of Tour Deluxe cables they are two inches longer. I installed Deluxe cables on mine after installing the risers, got tired of messing with the cables to stop the throttle binding. Ron
  12. So sorry to hear that, he is definitely in our prayers. Ron
