An update. Since no one responded I took the headlight apart and yes, there is an inline fuse in the housing for the light bar. In my case the fuse is fine and I did get the lights working but as soon as I put the headlight back together they quit again. I suspect a break in the wire so will pickup a new fuse holder and once I get it working, will relocate the fuse to and easier spot to get at it.

In your original post you said you had power to one of them. Usually that means the fuse is good

Glad to hear you guys have the chance to experience and take part of some nice rides and 'get together'. On this end, I didn't get the chance to ride due to the weather this past weekend and got called in again for work once again. However, we are looking as some 90 degree temps next week, but I don't know if I am ready for all that heat after having some gorgeous temps lately. Whatever the case may be, ride safe and enjoy every mile on your bike. Once I can find time to work on the SVTC, I plan to install Denali D2s in front. (feeling excited)

Went for 200klm(125ml) ride last Friday. Went to Port Dover to the only Friday The 13th this year!(get together for all kinds of bikes(mostly Harley)and motorcycle riders from all over Canada(some from Manitoba,Alberta,Quebec, and some from US)Estimated to be around over 100,000 bikes. And as usual there were a few accidents on way and home for a few riders.(around 6 that we know of,luckily no deaths)

Morning guys. Got to go out for a Father's Day ride yesterday. About 230 miles. Fiddled with the bike on Saturday, messed with the pilot jets and realized that the lower hose that connects the breather box to the crank was disconnected. Rode about 67mph with a light crosswind from the south and got 41.25mpg on the bike. I'm pretty impressed with that. Thinking about doing an Iron Butt this Saturday. I wont be able to go on any long trips with the kiddo at home, but I talked to the missus and she's fine with me disappearing for a day to do one. Going to ride from Omaha to Duluth and back is the plan!

We're sure proud of our little guy! Thanks everyone

yep , been watch'n ebay been threw there twice. haven't been threw amazon yet. go'n there next. thankz!

I am new to Yamaha's and my son just acquired a 2005 Royal Star Tour Deluxe. Can someone guide me in the right direction to locate the tip over switch? I have a no fire problem and have checked all the safety switches with exception of the tip over switch. The manual i have suggest it's located near the kick stand but I have look extensively in that area but no luck. I have checked the kick stand switch in that area but that is all I can find there. I know about the ignition switch problems but checked continuity through it according to the manual and it test good. Thanks

Thanks much for allowing me to join!

Okay, still trying to decide no, discover why my light bar ain't working. Saw a post on another site that says there may be an inline fuse housed in the head light bucket. Anyone know for sure? Thanks

I checked Ebay and there were some Venture parts on there. Crash bars and cowling parts. Good luck finding what you need.

I had the Dunlops on mine. Local shop said they're unavailable, so I'm going with a set of Metzlers. They're more expensive, but I figure there's other places I can save money. Tires are pretty important.

Good morning to all! Happy Father's Day to all of you!

A few.. you didn't scare all of them away.

Partzilla... It shows the Rt Side Cowling in stock but the engine guard is 56 - 63 days out.

Could be your clutch handle being loose and vibrating.

Looking to go back to a Wing. Lower centre of gravity and quieter.

Does anyone know if the ignition contacts on a 98 RSTD can be cleaned without having to break into the ignition case? Thanks in advance.

Wow. Didn’t know Pinwalll sold out. They were always my go to. There used to be one in Sandusky or Huron, I’ll have to see if I can find the name. They sold on Evay also. I bought a week from them.
