Hello Venturerider.org community, I have used this site for my decision to put a down payment on a 2007 Venture Midnight. I didn't get to test drive it today as the dealership stated that the front disk has a warp in it and they want to fix it first as well as do a total maintenance on the bike as they just got it in. It has just under 25k miles and has some nice aftermarket upgrades.
I have been riding motorcycles for 9 years, I know small time compared to some but I have owned previous a vstar 650 and 1100 as well as ninja 300. I miss the cruiser life and need to get back to riding. Im excited as this site has giving me a lot of valuable information and if all goes well I hope to use this site and owners group for info on the bike.
I unfortunately only use mobile phone no computer so hopefully I can fully use this site. Only rookie question I have for this group so far is that I never had a true touring bike, especially a V4, I do remember my 650 being a little cold blooded and finicky at start ups, I only use non ethonal gas and I use seafoam in all small engines, does the v4 run happier or have the same stubbornness. I do plan on doing most work myself however never touched carbs, I do periodic maintenance myself like lube shaft drive and fluid changes just not engine inclined. I do plan running a battery tender always at night for max CCA especially in the fall. I do live in WI. Appreciate this community and hope to have long road and journey ahead of me.
And sorry for the long post. I will certainly post pictures as I take them and do things.
If I missed any forum etiquette please let me know and I will follow up.
Thanks again
