    Finally took it apart this past weekend. Outer seal is leaking Output splines are heavily worn Gear lash feels sloppy Anyone have a spare final drive that will fit a 1990 that they are willing to sell? Ken

    The left side of the rim is oily and the tire has oil streaks on it (new tire ordered). I grabbed the picture from another thread and I'm guessing that this is the seal that is starting to fail (have not disassembled yet). Looking at the service manual, I'm not sure if I want to open up the final drive to replace the seal behind the needle bearing (looks like Pandora's box). The bike is a 1990 with 177,745 miles on the odometer. What model years and bikes should I be looking for if I swap the final drive out? Ken

    Is it possible to replace the oil seal shown in this picture without disassembling the final drive? Ken

    Just repaired the cooling system on my 1990. Here is what I used. #26 Bypass pipe = 1/2 inch heater hose #30 Hose 1 = 3/4 inch heater hose #1 Hose 3 = 1/2 of Gates 21432 #31 Hose 4 = 1/2 of Gates 21432 #51 Hose 5 = Gates 18422 (NAPA 10422) #28 Reservoir hose = 7/32 inch vacuum tubing (Ace Hardware) Ken

    The threads of the pipe cap do not match to the threads on the speedometer. At best, you will get 1 - 2 threads of engagement. The banjo bolt (male threads) has the same threads as the speedometer and the gearhead on the front axle. I removed the inner cable and then used the modified banjo bolt and outer sleeve to pump moly grease into the speedometer. Afterwards, I disassembled and then used the inner cable to push the excess grease out of the outer sleeve and then reassembled. No squealing so far after 2600 miles. Ken

    The correct thread is M12 X 1.00 Pitch. NAPA AUTO PARTS I took the "linked" banjo bolt and then drilled and tapped for a grease fitting and then plugged the cross hole. Ken

    It appears that Yamaha has discontinued this part number. Is there a replacement part number or do I need to start using aftermarket pads? Ken

    Poorman's fix: Clean up the grooves and fill with JBWeld. Let cure and then sand smooth. (if pads are wearing tapered, you have grooves)

    Does anyone have a spare in good shape (maroon with both mounting posts intact)? Ken

    http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=5037 Rebuilt the clutch master cylinder and used above item to bleed the master cylinder. Worked VERY well! Ken

    I made these from corduroy and they are secured with aluminum wire at both ends (139,000 miles on original fork seals) Ken

    90 and 93 Royales have steel lower triple trees with the center stem welded in Ken

    I have a 1990 Venture Royale equipped with a Champion Escort sidecar and have used Mobil 1 15w50 (automotive) in it since I purchased it in 2001 with 19,000 miles. The bike now has 120,000 miles and still the original clutch. Ken

    Been there, done that ... This is a common problem with the rear brake caliper. Upon disassembly and a thorough cleaning you will discover that the steel backing plates of the brake pads have hammered grooves into the internal mating surface of the caliper body. To fix the problem inexpensively, rough up the gouged surface and then fill the gouges with JB Weld. After the JB Weld cures, then file or sand the surface flat and smooth. In regards to caliper pistons and seals, over the winter I have rebuilt two calipers and found that the pistons and seals only needed a thorough cleaning, not replacement. Be sure to clean out all of the crystalized brake fluid that you'll find behind the seals. I used bamboo skewers as a scraping tool to clean out the seal grooves. Ken

    After a long dry spell, Dunlop has just produced a limited run on the MU90HB16 RWL rear tire. Ken

    As an owner of a 1990 and a 1993 Venture (both came with rubber fork boots), the Yamaha fork boots have a life expectancy of about 40,000 miles (2-3 years) before they start to crack at the folds in the bellows. I have since replaced mine with a homemade set made from black corduroy. Ken

    Jimbob, Find a machine shop to modify the Superbrace. If you force it to fit you will ruin your fork seals and upper bushings. Ken
