    Thats very good news I know. Thats certainly a good looking seat you had made.

    There hasn't been a non-S since 2009 (USA). On the USA Star web pages if you click Royal Star Venture you get the 2009 model. I like the 2011 two tone blue, which was offered as the non-S color scheme in Canada for 2010. That said, I'm quite happy with the 2000 Millenium I bought with only 16,000 miles on it last year. So I'm just trying to entice someone to buy a 2011 so I can look at it at Freebird's MD.

    I think the S is the only model for 2011. More chrome .... I just searched for 2011 Venture. The lowest price hit was in Ohio.

    Another line of thinking is that lugging the engine at too low rpms will result in lower power and hence lower gas mileage. Drop it down a gear and see if your mileage goes up.

    I don't have a solution for you, but I'd like to have your problem... The only way I can get 42mpg is to run 60-65 mph, any faster and the mpg drops off fast. The carbs jets may somehow be 'unusual' yielding poorer mileage at lowspeed? Any chance you have non-stock cams or ignition ? The other thought I have is that maybe the bike is running on 3 cylinders until you get up to speed. ie: an ignition/wiring/coil problem ?

    Did you put in a nickel before you turned the crank?

    There's about 6 of them at dealers on Cycletrader.com ranging in price from $17,6xx and upwards to $22,000 I read a post about a member taking one for a ride, but I got the impression he worked for that dealer.

    I have a Baron's tach mounted on my handlebar. see attached. If I had it to do over again, I would get a mount that allowed the tach to pivot on the mount, but its ok as it is. My 08 RSTD came with Bridgestone tires and the rear lasted until 9,100 miles and the front until 11,600. I replaced them with Avon Venoms. I put a slightly narrower (130 width instead of stock 150) on the front. It handles MUCH better. Ditto on leaving it stock. Just run it up in revs in 2nd and 3rd gear when you want to pass that long truck.

    Looks real good Harry. You may be asked to provide contact info so some others can have a set made. The final test will be what does your butt feel like after an 800 mile day in the saddle?

    Do you have one with the RSTD (2005-2009) specifics ?
  24. RandyR
    yes, as long as you understand the differences. same engine, brakes, frame and drivetrain. the wiring harness is somewhat different as are the switches and headlight & fairing/windshield & electronics & trunk. But 98% of maintenance items are the same. The RSV online maint guide that a member has made available works, as does the Clymer manual.

    http://www.tobycreek.org/oil_filters/yamaha.shtml Gives this style of filter an unacceptable rating. admittedly an 8 year old web page. btw. this snowmobile oil filter cross references to the Yamaha filter for the Royal Star xvz1300 engine..... http://www.parkeryamaha.com/yamahaoilfilter5gh134400000.aspx edit. Just read on a snowmobile forum where they believe the construction of the Yamaha filter will stand up to vibration and jarring better than pleated paper filters.
