Thanks. -
I am not near my bike right now, but I have a computer!! Does anyone know the diameter of the bars on the luggage rack that goes on the trunk lid of a 2nd gen? Thanks

Yamaha Royal Star "PALOMINO EDITION"
TARHEEL RIDER replied to usedcyclesales's topic in Watering Hole
The Palomino was made only the one year. We sold 3 of them in NC. The biggest problem with them was the tan bags and seat bleaching out from the sun. There was little to no uv protection on them. Yamaha warranty covered them for a while. Great looking but hard to keep looking good. By the way, the bags are the same hard leather that came on the Tour Classsic in black. -
Aother idea is to get a battery tender and run the connection through the right side cover. It is much easier to hook it up by removing on screw on the cover. Just a thought....................

Thanks guys..............Carbon One, you will be seeing my order soon.

Thanks Frrebird, where is the best place to lift it from, the area under the front floor boards?
-
My wife brought home a new lift for me today.I put it together and was ready to load the bike up on it, but when I looked underneath it, I am not sure where to place the lift pads. I am looking at getting one of carbon ones stands, but for now where is the best place to locate the lift? Thanks for the help.

I checked the connection at the player, even put the dielectric grease on it.
-
My CD player stopped working. I split the fairing and checked the connection there and while I was at it, I put the dielectric grease on all the connectors. Everything seems to be properly connected, but the cd selection does not come up on the control panel. Is there a separate fuse for the cd player? It worked great when we used it last in August.

Need a stock clutch spring for a 2nd gen
TARHEEL RIDER replied to TARHEEL RIDER's topic in Watering Hole
he is not having any problems, he just doesn't like the feel of the heavier pull. I did tell him about SKYDOC'S upgrade. I think he just wants more of a stock feel. He has ridden my 09 and likes it. -
does anyone have a stock clutch spring laying around from an upgrade? I have a friend who wants to remove the heavier spring and replace with a stock one.

Hang in there VMAN, hopefully everything will work out. Sometimes it takes time to correct years of "living the good life." Be patient and be smart, everything happens for a reason.

It sounds as if everybody's biggest gripe is the cassette deck.? They now offer the isimple through the dealer to run your ipod through the audio controls on your bike. I personally like the V-4, we stand out in the crowd. As far as the carbs, I can tune those as often as needed for nothing but my time and a few beers with my bud, Dannie. Maybe the efi would be nice, but it is not a show stopper or must have. If they do go to a V twin, how much different would it look than a Hardly Driveable? Again, this is just one mans opinion, but I like my 09 just the way it was made. By the way, I had an HD and went to the V4 after one year, thought I had to be like everyone else, got to say I is much happier with the Yamaha.

If all the ideas that the new Venture will come out with a big v-twin, I'm glad I got the 09. I have received more comments and compliments on the looks of the V-4. They would have to do something real special and make it under 20 grand to convince me that I should trade the 09. I have been on the V-4 since 97 when I sold my 96 Heritage Softail for a new Royal Star and kept it until my wife got me the 09 Venture S for my 50th birthday. I have had no trouble from either bike except for regular maint and some extra TLC, when I have the extra $$$ to do so. Hell, I even thought the 1st gens were pretty cool back in their day!!!!!

it looks like they are cleaning out left over 09's and 11's for the venture.
