mbrood Posted February 8, 2008 Share #1 Posted February 8, 2008 I have some shims for my 78 XS-750 and believe they are 29mm across and was wondering what the diameter is for the Venture. There are, of course, some large similarities between the two bikes... and the 750 even came with the plastic "dipstick" for checking the pumpkin oil level. I always thought it was cute... because after several years I found the oil level was fine, if it WAS low, was due to my using the dipstick! Routine oil change was always clean and clear. These are some tough bikes. And yeah, it had the same "soft thrust washer" that could cause 2nd gear problems like the early 1st Gen bikes.
