Got his orders from the devil. There really is a battle going on that we can't really see except in the results. That battle has been going on since day 1 and will soon be over. The King is coming!

I bet they both have been watching videos and noticed the CanAm has come out with a Spyder and they are discussing if it will mean total demise for the likes of them.

Hi John, so you are looking for the cable that attaches to the carbs then. Be aware the cables from the handle bars dont directly connect to the carbs but connect to a Throttle cable housing. This housing is where the two cables from the handle bars connect and the two cables from the carbs connect and the cruise control cable connect. check out this link.. https://www.partshark.com/oemparts/a/yam/50042d37f8700209bc789f1e/handlebar-cable items 21 - 29 are the throttle cable housing.. So if you are looking for the cables that connect to the carbs directly, check out this link.. https://www.partshark.com/oemparts/a/yam/50042d30f8700209bc789f02/carburetor-california-model Dont mind the california model carb and the non calif doesnt have an image.. but the part you are looking for is item 59 or 60.. and the good news is that yamaha is listing them as available. Personally if I was replacing one I would do both since the replacing is the hard part as you need to remove the left side fairing to access them cable housing. If you havent, down load the service manual as it will assist you in doing this if you never have done it before. go to here to down load it.. https://www.venturerider.org/manuals/1986-1993 Yamaha Venture Service Manual.pdf Check out page 3-83 in the service manual for how to install the cables correctly. I personally use Partshark.com to buy most of the my factory parts as they have a great price on them. let me know if you have any questions. Good luck.. Rick F.

So I have given up on the huge, ugly air box on my 98 RSTD! I have ordered pods. I will restrict the air flow for what's left of this season, which likely means increasing the fuel flow as well, but enough, is enough! I will rejet the carbs over winter to match the pods and get the carbs synced. Now the next step, relocate or bypass the ignition switch. I'm sick and tired of the bike quitting when the switch gets heated. I love this bike, but Yamaha really screwed the pooch on some of the designs on this generation. I have already relocated the fuel filter. Good thing I'm retired and have the time to do this shite! I'll let yall know how the pod things goes.
