That's funny, Where I live, only place you will find any cassette tapes now is at the thrift store. Very few though. The World has changed a lot in 40+ years......As long America keeps buying the Venture with the cassette deck, Yamaha will keep adding them on.. If not for the XVZ motor being so dang good, the Venture would have went under along time ago. It sure ain't the cassette deck selling the Venture its the motor.....

Replaced another PCM on one of our Dodge 3/4 ton Pickups at the city. Was running like crap then it would not idle at all kept dieing. This makes the third PCM on three trucks in two years.. Once the PCM was replaced all three ran just fine with no problems..

Ever since you got the Second Gen. you been a pain in the rear....... I take that back your already a pain in the rear...... Break in period? Hard to say...everybody rides their bike different so its hard to say really. Always been told, its not hard for these motors reaching 100,000 miles. And when you reach 200,000 miles then you can start bragging because you know you can ride across country with no worries..... They call them "The bullet proof motor" for a reason.......

Always had excellent service. And will buy again..

Tippy or Top Heavy?
buddy replied to Blue Giant's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
They are top heavy, I had to get used to my 83. Second Gen. the same way, top heavy. What helped me was just ride it and get used to it, but their are few here that just could not do it.. And went with something else.... -
Good One Paul. Don't forget Brown Sugar is a First Gen. A Legend on here.... Wish I could have seen the Blue Beast & Brown Sugar pair off against each other. That would have been awesome indeed, Two Legends against each other...... Hope to see you soon Paul... 1983 Venture The Beast (pictured) Wish I still had it.

93 octane required?
buddy replied to YoungBlood's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
Not required, I use Regular Unleaded gas on my bikes and they run just fine. If you want to use the Plus or Super Unleaded and it feels better, go for it.... -
Me too, Wish I still had my 83 Beast, man that baby was fast. So for that reason I put my money on Randya since he has the 83 Beast as well.....Fastest Stock venture made...

I know their not fun to get too ( starter) Pull the starter and see if you can push the bike and get any movement in the motor? It could be several other things??? But I would start with the Starter and check the Bendix . And check to see if you have any bad spots on the starter and ring gear teeth.. Lets hope its nothing major. You can do a bench test on your starter at O'reillys or AutoZone for free..

Beautiful Family. Amen............

OK let me get this straight Yammer has Brown Sugar and Skid has Ugly. ? OK OK OK I get it .. Yammer buys Brown Sugar but leaves Ugly there to be pick up later, Hoping Skid would give it a good wash and wax job.. Ugly don't look so ugly now.... Looks pretty nice Skid... Yammer you want to race Skid now that you have Brown Sugar.. Since Brown Sugar is the fastest around.....

Wish I could Bill, I be at your house in no time. Well maybe 10hr drive but I be there LOL.. Wish I could go but to much on my plate right now, and the last ice storm really took a bit out of our budget.. But we will see you come August. Ride safe and have fun pulling your new trailer too... Buddy

Engine noise or wind noise? Sounds like your intercom is picking up all the noise and over riding your music? If so turn down or turn off your intercom part , or cover your mic with a small balloon, I had to use a small balloon on my mic to drown out all the road noise on my intercom system when I had it in use..

He still around, posted several times this morning. Last I talked to Bill he was going to do more riding this year and go camping with his new cycle trailer. May be Linda wants him out of the house for a while you think.
-
Sorry could not pass that up... Sorry cannot make the MD this year. the last Ice Storm we had in January pretty much wiped out our Vacation & money:(.. Maybe next year:think: One of these years I'm going to make one. Unless Freebird moves back to Texas then it would a sure deal for us Southern folks.

My 06 RSTD sounds like the transmission is going out . But once I remove the Fairing its not so bad, The fairing plays a key part as for how loud the whine gets too. Going to switch oil and see if this helps. First oil change I went with Rotella T and it seems the whine is a bit louder now? will try another brand later on and see if this helps some. By the way mine sounds like yours too, but mine may just be a bit louder .

Nice bike Jack, I see it took you five bikes before you got it right:whistling:, Guess you can call it LUCKY SIX. As for the Second Gen.ride yes I know what you mean as for the handling - seating and leg room. It took me almost 100 miles before I got the hang of it. You would not think these two bikes First-Second Gen. could be so different, yet each one gives an excellent ride in its own right.... Your Legs & knees will Love you on long trips riding this Second Gen. Another reason why I came back to the RSTD.... Jack I Really Happy for you:happy34:, have fun riding your new ride....

Your Water Buffalo brings back old memories for me. Mine was burnt orange and a basket case as well bought it for 75.00, Got it to running . And have to say the Water Buffalo was one bad bike to be racing against. Boy I crazy back then, it would do more than what the speedo would show. Dad said every time I gave it full throttle it sounded like a Big Buffalo .. Boy was I nuts or what.. Buddy

Same here Ruffy Buy mine from O'riellys as well, for $1.89 hard to beat that price! and I dont have to pay shipping charges either..

Don't let her eat the wedding cake:( her attitude will change:headache: Boy will it change:whistling:...

Which gear is better for towing a trailer on a free way
buddy replied to E-Fishin-C's topic in Watering Hole
With two up & trailer fully loaded, 5th gear works fine for me & Snowflake.. Set the cruise around 70MPH and enjoy the ride..... -

Charlie you got to get the First Gen. out of your mind.. Its a Second Gen. But if you really want some tools I guess you could ask Yammer Dan,I hear he has a few First Gen. laying around:whistling: Dan You know I Love you.. right........
