Hi everyone
i was looking for some advice on changing out my motor on my 2000 Yamaha Venture Royal Star. I recently had some bad luck in after I had my carbs rebuilt at a Yamaha dealership after about 500 km on the rebuilt carbs I went to start the bike. The bike had been sitting for a few weeks and when I went to start it the starter seem to hit hard and a loud knock. After it started I now had a tapping engine noise. I had it towed to a shop and they informed me a connect rod was now bent due to gas in the motor possibly due to a leaky seal in the carb. Ugh. Anyway I was wondering if a 2012 Yamaha Royal Star Venture would fit my 2000 bike. The motors look the same but before I buy it was wanting some input.
Thank you
