240K for a '99 is impressive. This tells you that the Venture engine is capable given proper maintenance. What would really impress me is for someone to say that an '05 or say '06 Venture with over 200K miles...but this is just very unrealistic.

From my last fill-up, I got 41.4 mpg which is not bad this winter. My cager's mpg had already taken a hit in this cold weather. Below is my overall stats and at least my average is still around 40 mpg... ________________________________________________ 40.4 mpg (US) 2007 Venture - Touring Yamaha Venture http://greenhybrid.com/compare/mileage/graphs/car.png?cid=7575&system=US This member began contributing at 313 mi / 36.0 mpg (US) and has driven 1,711 mi over 11 tanks since then for a total of 2,024 mi.

There has been a lot of talk in the Kawasaki forum for a long time now regarding Nitrogen gas added in tires. There are a number of users that support the idea, but it is just not practical yet. If I only own a gas station, I would add a coin operated machine (self-service) that will fill tires with Nitrogen as allowed by law.

Your mileage is just impressive. That would be almost 4000 miles per month.
-
I got mine on Oct. 11, 08 and I added a whopping 2023 miles to date.
-
I rest my case.

Happy New Year to all. May 2009 be better than 2008.
-
Did you buy your bike used or brand new? Of the 19,998 miles, how many of those miles are actually yours? If they are all your miles, I rest my case for I will never break your record.

I just had a feeling that NASCAR had thought about this before it is discussed here at VentureRider.org. I check my car tires and bike tires religiously every other week. I don't know if I am ready to add Nitrogen on my tires...perhaps once the idea is widely practiced by motorist, I will go ahead and follow the rest.

This is the RAM Mount model that I found online for the handle bar...RAP-B-166-2-GA25U http://www.ram-mount.com/index_files/ramb149zga25.jpg

I agree with you. Some people take off their GPS from the holder in the car, but they usually put it in the glove compartment or under the driver seat. If your car is parked in a bad spot, it is easy target and one may end up with a broken glass window.

Rick, Where can I order a 'Ram' mount for my Garmin 255W? There are mounts for about $20 bucks, but if the RAM is a better product and will securely hug my GPS on the bike then that is the way to go.
-
I got my Garmin from Santa and currently looking for a motorcycle mount. There are several listed on Ebay, but I would like to know what kind of motorcycle mount works the best for my particular Garmin model.

260K miles is awesome! I really want to see my Venture hit 100K miles someday. Right now, I only have apx. 2000 miles.

It does not matter to me whatsoever. Either way will do. Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas is just perfect for me. What is most important to me is the thought that was conveyed from family and friends. Enjoy the Holiday Season with loved ones. Regards.

I just verified this afternoon that I can actually trickle charge my Venture from the 12V Accessory plug. My Battery Conditioner is set at 12V/2A trickle charge and it worked well. As mentioned previously, the 12V plug is Power Off with the Key Off. I simply put the ignition into accessory and the charger does its job in keeping the battery 'topped off'. Hooking up another wiring harness together with my Gerbing harness on the battery is not an option at this time. I didn't want to crowd the terminals and I am glad that the Venture has its 12V plug built in.

With so many moving parts on that vehicle, keeping up with the maintenance can be very involved and expensive IMO. It still amazes me. Time will tell, when car manufacturers will be able to apply that technology in cars. I don't mind commuting across the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland.

I recognize the 1st pic - a house. The next three pics, I have no idea...too much snow. I can't wait for Spring to come.

Air boxes ????????

Looks like you guys want to go faster. My Venture already feels like a jet...with the mod the Venture might go faster than the speed of sound. -
Absolutely Awesome! At first I thought this can't be true, when he started to get into the water.... That will fit in perfectly in a James Bond film.

Keep the heater running and have a safe trip. Happy Holidays.

It is 23° here and a Wind Chill of 8°F here in SE PA. Too cold for a ride.

I am very curious to see what my carbs would look like on my next oil change around 3600 miles and I am 1600 miles away. It may take awhile, because the weather has not been cooperating lately. The Carbtune Pro is a true must have, if you own a Venture.

What is your final synch, higher rpm or lower idle?
-
...Don't forget to post pics. Personally, I like the beefy look of the 150 and it feels alright for me even at low speeds.
