When I was getting gas a guy came up to me asking what I rode and told him a Venture he said whats that? Yamaha I said he asked how long they been out? and I said since 1983 and up graded in 1999 and he asked how many miles I had? told him just over 55,000mi he looked at me and said so you already rebuilt the motor? I started laughing and said this is not a HD these Venture are like Gold Wing's they can easily do 200,000 - 300,000mi and still run like a dream He said he would look up the Venture on-line when he got home. Asking if I had the motor rebuilt :crackup:That's funny Buddy

My Mom's 1989 Olds 98 5.0L had a problem with the ignition module going out which is located inside of the dist.cap gave us no warning when it took a dump so I always kept an extra one in the glove box Buddy

If I'm not mistaken you are speaking of your weep hole from your water pump When your mechanical seal goes out on the water pump it will drain out the drain tube, the old venture only had the weep hole like on car & trucks and would leak down the side leaving behind a nasty trail of antifreeze.

Thanks for the info.. Really helps on what to look for and what too ask as well..... Will be looking at it in a few days......

I did the same thing to my 83 Beast its amazing how I was able to get my hand stuck several times and I was stupid enough and do it again going back in with it:headache: Peg left me alone that day she stayed out of the garage for some time Buddy

some one I know is selling his 2005 Ultra Classic with 45,000mi and is giving me a heck of a deal due to he needs $$$ I wanted to ask the family here who owns a Ultra what to look out for? as per say "taken to the cleaners" if you know what I mean . I don't think he would but I would feel better knowing what to look for on a HD. He sent couple of photos and first thing I saw in the photo is the right muffler has been kinda hot like blueish gold color? asked him about this and he said it was due to the cat.converter in the muffler? all ultra Classic have this issue? other than that this Ultra is in great shape never been down or dropped He bought this bike with 3,000mi and as far as I know there has been no issues or break downs that I can think of other than just tires and oil changes he said he just had the 40,000 maintenance done with 45,000mi on the clock is there any issues I need to be aware on 2005 model Thanks Buddy

-
Bummer... Thanks for the info on the clear view now I'm leaning more toward the F4 for a replacement... Buddy

Since you change out the windshield how about letting me buy my once clearview back? Buddy

As for warranty issue's being a Mechanic for 27yrs the first thing out of the bag with dealers is this a human error point blank . their always trying to find a way to make this a human error. and in some cases it is an human error mostly due to "lack" of maintenance . But as for using Rotella T6 5W40 syn oil I can see no issue why this would be a problem Rotella has been used for many years for motorcycles before it was labeled JASO MA and now they do state it is (JASO MA) but for me I'll stay with Rotella T6...
