Hey all, it’s been awhile, back online and paid, hope all are well, be posting more soon. Ride safe my friends...... Pick

Ok, 07 Midnight, left front running light is out. Flasher works but will not for front marker???? Yamaha wants $9.85 for one? Really? It’s a Stanley P4392, has three nubs??????? Took an 1157,ground the bottom nub off and it works, but don’t like the idea of only one of the nubs holding it in. Anyone know where to get a bulb for less than $10bucks???????

Just wanna say I love this group! Been a member for quite awhile, not very active, but the friends I have made and the info I get is priceless. Today just special kudos to Goose, Freebird, Eck and Sleeperhawk, have had a pretty bad gas leak and was thinking pulling the carbs outta my league, but after talking to a few and reading Goose and Freebirds write ups, I decided to tackle it on my own, got it all apart, found one carb to be leaking, replaced the needle, seat and float gasket, adjusted the float height, put it all back tighter and it actually Runs! Take her out for the first test ride tomorrow and then hopefully on to Biketoberfest in two weeks! thanks y’all!!!!!!!! Pick

Ok, thats kinda what I thought, just simply put em back in the way they came out Thanks

Doing the PCW clutch upgrade and Venture Rider instructions say to make sure clutch plates installed in same manner as removing? Says single notch at 11 o'clock and double notch at 5? When I took off my cover, single notch was at 1 O'clock, double at 7 ? Is this an issue? I had no problems before other than a minor slippage?

Gotta give some kudos to PCW Racing.....my 07 Midnight clutch is slipping, ordered the clutch spring upgrade kit. When I got the invoice, I went and put it in my maintenance manual that I keep and I found my invoice from May, 2008 when I ordered the same kit for my 2001......... The prices are exactly the same! NO price increase in 8 years, that's pretty awesome! The only increase was shipping, UPS's prices went up.......😕 Thanks John from PCW!

Hey all, 2007 Midnight Venture, 29k, clutch is slipping, I did an upgrade with PCW on my 01 years ago, and it was fine, is that still the best option?

Wow, D2moto, $9.30 a pair for sintered, free shipping.............

Gotta replace rear pads on 07 Midnight, cheepest I can find EBC 123 is Powersport, $28.22, is there a member that also sells brake pads?

Just got home from Daytona, we went to the speedway yesterday and checked out all the new bikes. Of course, Yamaha had no Venture, so disappointed, but a friend of mine is looking to swap out his older HD for a new tourer. Since no new Yamaha, we went by Kawasaki and looked at the new Voyager. I have to admit, I liked the 6 speed, fuel injection and anti lock brakes. Anyone have any firsthand knowledge of the New Voyager? Also, the older gentleman who always had his bike there couldn't make it, getting old, but the rep did mention that he is at a bit over 330k miles on that bike!!!!!

Just used a bit on the inside to the trunk lid for the closer bracket. I also found out that the little screws that attach the saddle bag to the trim and lid work loose often, did a dab of loctite on them too, but again, on the inside of the trunk and saddlebags.

Sorry for the delay, Thanks Goose!!!!! Never saw that! Of course next time I will put a piece of tape over the hinge where the c-clip fell soon as it popped out!!!!! Quick drop of loctite and we're good. Love this forum!

Got a few ride trips coming up, time for some new tires. Who's running the best deals on Avons?

My 07 venture trunk lid, both screws fell out that attach the latch to the left side. I can get to the top one with nom problem, but the bottom one is completely covered up by the closer? How do you move the flat bar out of the way so you can get to both screws?

Goose, forgive the ignorance, how/where do I check that vacumn?
