Hey all: was on ebay tonight and saw an 07 venture listed, has studded seats, and chrome emblem on saddlebags which makes me think it is an 06, anyway the listing states it has a weather channel, band, does it really have a weather channel as according to my owners manual for my 07, i can't find anywhere where my 07 has a weather band. appreciate any imput cause I would really use a weather band if mine had one. See the ebay listing below Thanks Brian D. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-Royal-Star-Venture-Touring-Bagger-MIDNIGHT-VENTURE-BAGGER-TOURING-EXTRAS-GPS-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem43a65edbc4QQitemZ290554043332QQptZUSQ5fmotorcycles

Hey All: Made it to Sanford Fla tonight, 971 miles and boy was it hot today from Virginia all the way. Midnight RSV ran like a top and made it down here on 74.00 worth of gas. Onl had one tank that got over 45mpg but I ran it between 75 and 80 mph and she pulled thosed mountians in I-77 with no problem. Glad I did this, now back to Ohio on Tuesday.

Hey all: Well, heading out on my first long trip on my 07 midnight RSV to Sanford, fla on Thursday. Leaving as soon as school is out as I have a 12 day break and ready to head south to visit my daughter. Got a new rear tire on yesterday, fluids topped off and got her washed and waxed yesterday. Anyone have any lastminute tips as I head south Thursday. Will try to get on Thursday night after checking into hotel and then Friday night after I get there. Plan on taking it steady and not in a hurry. Appreciate any prayers for safe travel. Brian D.

Just wondering if any of you use the scal rider q2 headset. I see they just came out with a newer version in February. Wonder if anyone has the unit with mp3 jack and your thoughts if it is worth the price and how does the phone feature work at high speeds. Thanks Brian D.

I too love the V-twin as I had an 02 Suzuki Volusia. Wanted something bigger and with two daughters in college it wasn't going to be a high end touring bike and as I spent months on this website , e-bay and doing internet research I kept coming back to the venture, cost style and warranty were indeed factors. Have it RSV since April 2008 and yea I got a little whine in 5th gear but turn up radio and with helmet, add some roadking exhaust bored out and don't hear a thing put pure V-4 power and rumble. ride everyday to work and ride every weekend and oh the cruise control is a big plus. Plenty of storage and more importantly Mama loves the back seat!! You can't go wrong!!! My two cents!! Ride Safe, Pray Daily Brian D.

Hey all: have RK slip ons from an 08 roadking. Totally gutted them out including catalytic converter drilled out. Then right after installing them I changed plugs and then the popping on deceleration began. Also would pop when shifting up from 1st to 2nd. Well to make a a long story short had a carb sync done today and guess what, they were off and that has fixed the problem. No more popping and pipes sound great, really roar when getting on them. I do not have the AIS plugged. So for all that may be having popping issues, try to get a carb sync and should fix your problem. Oh, I have an 07 Midnight RSV with 11, 000 miles on her. Brian D.

Our prayers and thoughts will be with you and your family. We never get over losing a loved one, we just get thru it!! Keep those memories alive in you daily. May GOD be with you. Brian D.

Looking for ideas as to why 07 RSV with 10,000 miles has been popping when shifting up and when getting off the throttle. Just changed plugs with NKG's and bored out catalytic converter out of RK slip on's. Also removed the middle plate so you can see thru each pipe front to back. Gas milege is still the same, idles fine but get that pop sound. Was running 91 0ctane and just put in 87 octane and it was less today on a 50 mile ride. Any ideas or imput appreciated. Thanks Brian D.

This site is worth soooo much to all of us that ride a yamaha or any bike for that matter. The willingness of those on this site to share information that saves us all alot of time by always answering questions and provide quick and easy fixes to our own mechanical issues or upgrades. Justed drilled out my rk pipes via this site and thanks to Don's photo (Freebird) how to remove the RSV gas tank allowed me to tackle changing spark plugs all by myself. that was awesome and pure satisfaction to do it yourself with the help of so many on this site. Thanks Don and many others who take the time to share their knowledge and experience. God Bless Brian D.

Hey all, looking to put a pocket in each of my 2nd gen rsv in each lid. Found a set that is rather inexpensive but my question is howw do they hold up and will they fall down into bag during the hot summer months if they are attached with 2 sided tape. The photo of them shown at link below shows open rivet holes on the ends and I'm sure not going to drill into lids to attach them. anyone already using these and if so how do you install them? thanks Bein D. http://www.americanmotorcycleaccessories.com/proddetail.asp?prod=AMA0740
