    Thanks for your input. I feel much better now. The jack adapter is surely one of the best accessories you can have for the Venture.

    Nicely done. How about 'legs'?

    These bikes are fun to ride. I would recommend purchasing a bike that has some factory warranty left to it. You will definitely have fun working on the bike for maintenance and adding blings.

    Patrick, I put 0 psi on the front forks and 25 psi on the rear. My front tire is at 36 to 37 psi and rear is at 38 psi. I ride mostly solo and only weigh 168 lbs. and 5'5". The 6 hour ride does not sound too bad, but be physically prepared to ride for that long haul home. I did the same thing when I just bought my Venture and rode for apx. 4 hours. The best part to it...enjoy the sweet ride.

    Wow! Just a little over 10K miles for an '03...good catch! Nice looking scoot.

    My Prius uses the Pink colored anti-freeze...I don't plan to use this in my Venture. Prestone is on top of my list for anti-freeze.

    Now that I am certain that I will need SpeedBleeder part # SB8125 (Qty:2) for the Rear Caliper and Clutch and SB7100 (Qty:2) for the Front Calipers, I went ahead and placed the order. For my coolant, I've been reading more about coolant replacement in the forum lately. Can someone point out where the drain plug is on my '07? I see a square bolt just underneathe the water pump area...? Pic will definitely help. Looking at the bike, the only way to get to that coolant cap is to remove the tank (Right?).

    I have synched my carb twice now. Everytime I synch the carbs, it is done at idle...but I do rev the engine time to time as I tweak the Carbtune to make it perfect.

    I say WW. As long as you can keep up cleaning the WW...with the amount of riding you are going to do, you should be set.

    Yesterday, I spent most of the morning Changing Oil, Oil Filter and Gear Oil. Everything went smoothly. I also Synched my Carbs and adjusted my idle to 1000 rpm. Carbs did not look too much out of Synch except for the right rear which was a little off...I then tweaked the settings a little bit to make it almost perfect for all four Carbs. Next in line....Clutch Fluid and Brake Fluid replacement. Ride Safe.

    Congrats to the new owners of an '09 Venture. It won't be long, they will pop up in this forum.

    Thanks for making this clear for us who have never done this kind of maintenance on our Venture. I will make sure that I grease all splines with Honda Moly60 grease.

    Possible it could be the fuse. Verify voltage on the 12V plug using a multimeter.

    What is this 'Chunk' you guys are referring to?
  15. N3FOL
    Negative. According to 'Squeeze', we shall need only one (1) seal if it breaks.

    Sometimes one may think that the BatteryMinder is connected, but it may possibly not making a good contact on the post. How old is the battery?
  17. N3FOL
    Great information! I am referencing the old number with the new part #. Thanks.
  18. N3FOL
    Very nice site. Thanks for the link.
  19. N3FOL
    Squeeze, Thanks for your input.

    I may check my shifter bolts, saddle bag bolts, etc. tonight. Thanks for the heads up.

    It may be a good idea to add Lithium Soap on the seal before installation...not sure(?). Somebody mentioned that the spline that attaches to the 'pumpkin' does not need to be lubed with Honda Moly60 since it is lubed by the drive shaft gear oil. Is this accurate or not?
  22. N3FOL
    So for the seal, do I need (2) for the front and rear spline area?
  23. N3FOL
    Sounds like this seal may break upon disassembly of the drive shaft. Are the seal on both ends of the Drive Shaft? Do you have a part number that I can order before I start taking my shaft apart in a few months?

    I work at a facility that manufactures Diagnostic equipment for healthcare use and DI water is abundant. I agree, it is a good idea to use DI water in the cooling system to prevent rust build up internally. Did a search on Speed Bleeders. I may go ahead and order Two (2) SB8125; 1 for the Rear Caliper and 1 for the Clutch (not sure of the term) and Two (2) SB7100 for the Front Calipers. I hope I got the part numbers correct for my '07 Venture.

    I am looking in the maintenance manual, but could not find the page. What Chapter? The large plug under the water pump...is thos towards the right side of the engine?
