New LOUD gear whine - opinions?
Marcy replied to BigBoyinMS's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I had this done and mine isn't any better. Another issue that affects how much people are complaining of the "whine" is the helmet they wear. When I wear my full- or open-face helmet the "whine" doesn't bother me as much. BUT I prefer to wear my 3/4 helmet that has the foam/leather/insulation-type over the ears and not the fiberglass over the ear area. My 'whine' is deafening. -
Here's a reversal for you. My husband rides on the back of mine ... when I can get him to go.

I'm laughing so hard my stomach hurts.

Feeling stupid. Thanks.

I have a lowering kit that I don't need. It's for the rear of the RSV, and it lowers 1", but I can't tell you what brand it is. I'd sell it for $100.

I just got a 2000 Venture last Fall and the front brake pulsates. I am assuming the front rotor is out of round. Darn. I didn't want to have to buy a new rotor. My '97 Royal Star rotors are still fine and I never had to replace the rotors on any of my bikes. Can't imagine that it is any thing else causing the pulsating, but ... Anyone have any input on this?

Thank you for the invite, Freebird. Can't commit, but I'll put it on the "possibilities list."

I noticed that everyones' home state is indicated by the state flag. I find myself having to look them up (state flags). I know I should have memorized flags in some school assignment, but I was probably out riding a motorcycle when they were teaching about state flags. Just wondering if we could just have city and state written out?

Where, when, what is "Maintenance Day?" And who is invited?

Haven't been a member of this group all that long, but have ridden a motorcycle for 28 er 9 years. Hello, ladies. I ride a 2000 Venture.

I, too, am from the great lakes state (that's Michigan) and I do like the snow. I think it is gorgeous. But then, so too is that bike in the garage ... gorgeous. Just got it in the fall.

I have to look too.

Is there anyway to reduce the tension in the clutch lever making it easier to pull? I'm starting to get arthritis in the hand and it's making it more difficult. Can't give up those long trips.

Lowering front of genII Venture
Marcy replied to JerryK's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
What do you think the narrower tire does for the bike? Does it make the front end seem lighter? lower to the ground? ??? -
why the smaller front tire?

Would changing the gears fix the whine?

Just got my 2nd gen. Venture (2000 MM edition) and am disappointed in the engine whine at 60-65 mph. Please tell me there's a cure. I have a '97 Royal Star and I don't think that made such a whine.
