But you may want to search ebay a little bit because that is just for one carb and i ordered one for all the carbs and cost me 85.00 all together http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-K-L-86-07-VMAX-CARB-KITS-V-MAX-83-93-XVZ13-VENTURE-VENTURE-ROYALE-carburetor-/361517049733?hash=item542c186785 actually this is better it comes with all four carb kits

Im hijacking your thread Now WHAT HE JUST SAID lol I actually want to rebuild my carbs completely so where is the best place to find the jets and such tired of fighting the ones in my carbs....

I was told like $50 for just a scooter tire so i can Imagine how much for a motorcycle tire

I dont think Dan is looking for his starter switch he probably searching for more buried treasures...

Go to youtube and look for yamaha venture but at idle my slides do not move when i throttle to i believe its 1500 or so rpm they start to move and all should move in unison and at cracked wide open they should also be wide open but in order to run good at 3500 rpms they all need to be pretty spot on so i would say you really should look thru the forum and get the Diaphragms replaces i am thinking you get a hole set for $50 unless you have cracked slide.. but i wished I had this video everyone is talking about..I have done carb rebuilds many of times but these Mikunu Carbs are way different then what I have dealt with in the past..

It is 82 here and partly cloudy here In SWMO time to real dig my hands in and get some work done outside..

And the other question when you took them apart to clean up the orings real good I replaced all mine with a later year or different model im wanting to say i used the vmax orings and gaskets it kinda sounds like a problem i had at first when i did my first clean and put it all back together and come to find out I had broken enricher valve gaskets I know it sounds odd but once i got the kit and replaced gaskets and orings but my carbs looked like that at one time till cleaned them up... o and one more thing see if you see any slight cracks in your slides..

Question????? Is this before or after you cleaned them?

Ok since we are going for nuts here I will have to disagree with the both of you I am about the nuttiest oddest person you will ever meet but gotta bring back a quote I seen a long time ago "I would rather be strange Because its the normal people you don't know" something along those lines

It was more like a motocross bike the only reason I can't Identify it cause who ever had it painted it all blue it only had headlight and brake light but I remember it was an 86 is what was on title Sent from my Z812 using Tapatalk

I'm not sure to be honest it was jacked high and I had to kinda hop on it to get it to set low enough to reach the ground flat footed Sent from my Z812 using Tapatalk

No not you cowpuc lol by the nice singing voice in that thread I read the Apples and oranges wrong no after seeing your tire and it's the same Metzler's on mine I like the look of some shinkos but I was trying to find the venoms and pricing and was seeing more threads about shinkos I just recently got comfortable riding the big ol 1200 the biggest bike I ever road was the yamahammer 350 fast bugger with racing reeds racing clutch and smaller sprocket on the rear laid it down once trying to avoid tree lol got in a groove and made the mistake of trying to force it out Sent from my Z812 using Tapatalk

I didn't mean to offend if I did I'm just saying I have tried to teach my older boy this principle You get what you pay for... IE meaning he got 40 dollar tires for his car and within a month one of them shredded and Walmart wouldnt live up to there Road Hazard Warranty... trying to say he used 30% of his tread or something anyways I just would be leary of buying a cheap tire for anything in general I know everyone will be entitled to there opinions but it seems SHINKO is a much talked about tire.. seen somewhere someone said something about putting a narrower tire on the front end of 1st Gen that they turned better etc...

Thats the total reason I dont carry cash I have a bad habit of losing the big bills and it isn't cause the ol lady took it...

After looking at @cowpuc post realizing my tire is identical to the one he has in a picture made me look at mine and I have Metzler's on front and back of my bike and getting down on the ground taken closer look after spotting the name to think the night I got my bike running again long story short I was in triple digits with a crack running all around my tire on the rear and the front is starting to develope and finding out last night more on date codes that my tires are going on 8 yrs old well um yeh I'm in market for tires but I'm funny when it comes to tires I will not buy the cheapest but rather go with known good brand... So I guess I will do a vote on ppl experience with different brands and the ones with the most recommended I will run with Sent from my Z812 using Tapatalk

Ok so I went out to Marie and was looking thru some things and pulled the diaphragm out to check it out it was setting in there nicely just a shame i got to pull the carbs may do that later tonight and disamble all of them but that is the same carb I'm Getting all the sputtering from she does good when she is cool but the minute she gets warm she spits and sputters till I'm over the 3000 rpm mark... Kinda aggravating due to the fact that I just spent $600 dollars getting them rebuilt and had to turn around and replace a diaphragm and the fact I am running two fuel filters to be on the safe side or so I thought drained gas out of tank it all came out nice and clean so next is to pull the sending unit and pet cock out just to have a look see and replace the filters.. probably just put one back on but one of the fuel filters I have that i got the last time has a new design its fatter so probably won't be able to use it. What do others generally run on their bikes.

tire date codes ok so i dont have to make video

Um @bongobobny is this gonna be Venture Discovery Channel LMAO Im gonna make a video about finding the date code on a tire and what they mean lol:rotf:I message bongo last night because I was concerned about date codes on tires i did searches and well its probably there somewhere in the forum so googled it and found out that my tires being 3508 and 4508 the guy had receipts with the bike that showed he just bought them in January 2013 i believe that is the date the rear one he had just installed the day before i bought it and the front one he had replaced the year before. so when i bought this bike in February of 2015 the tires were out of date which I didn't know about date codes and all that and I would have replaced them this past year if I had known more but that is more to my project bike to get fixed but very useful information to know.

I don't believe I will try that never did on the Yamahammer 350 I had when I was younger Someone painted it Blue and painted that name on but it was a fun little dirt Bike. Which is a reason I said wouldn't recommend leaning it over like that its not so bad getting from 90 degrees on the crashbar but from crashbar on up it sucks lol thats when you feel the weight.

Evedently there was more wrong with my TCI box then ever thought because i could put the bike in gear with the kickstand down. Now when I put it in gear with the kickstand down it automatically kills the bike also i had it running earlier just to do a lean test with assistance we leaned her all the way over and she shut down which i tipped it over once trying to go out of my driveway around someone and caught the front tire just right and there was just no catching her and she stayed running when that happened sorry to ramble on my forum but these are discovery's I'm making I wouldn't recommend leaning her over tho... But knowing my bike is doing the things it is supposed to do after replacing a TCI Not realizing just how much they control things.. like safety features.. also something else i was able to do with the Old Tci was engage the starter with the bike in gear with kickstand down.

Absolutely not the problem Got to pull the Carbs:bang head::bang head: And one more thing when you relocate the box on top of the airbox which literally puts it next to the radio is it common to lose your radio signal? Not a real big deal as most radio stations are ruined these days so i usually just plug my phone into auxillary but just curious if thats one of the downfalls

Absolutely Beautiful Bike that is a nice Blue :clap2: Very Nice
