Google maps got my wife as she was getting the mail. Some angles, she is there. Some angles, she is gone.
-
I've always thought it would've the most inconspicuous spot since the CB is not used. I would also look to getting rid of the CB antennae and getting a smaller radio antennae.
-
Since I don't use the CB, I've thought about wiring a garage door opener through the CB talk button. Do you guys think that would work?

I never have a problem with any of the Windows. Probably because my Mac runs perfectly for my needs.

How much extra lift did you get with the new handlebars?
-
Is this job fairly simple?

I'm almost certain the stock cables of the Venture will not reach. I'm 6'7" and need the height on the bars. I read on here that the stock RSTD stock cables will reach. Is that correct?
-
I am changing the brake and clutch lines and throttle cables. I heard the RSTD stock cables are long enough for the Flanders bars.
-
I am going to try and change out my stock handle bars with the Flanders bars on my 07 Venture.
Can someone here give me a list of exactly what I need to buy and have on hand to make this switch myself. My local mechanic said he would help fix anything that I can do but I'm worried this is beyond my capabilities.
I have changed my oil, spark plugs, and fuel pump before and that is it. Is this job going to be too difficult?
-
That is a sweet bike. I'm too tall to fit on most "normal" bikes. I will have to trailer my Venture when we buy our class C motorhome.

How to post a picture?
-
I had a friend make a custom aluminum holder that attaches to the handlebar between the fairing and the ignition. Used a part of cupholder mount my wife had for her CanAm F3 with the custom plate made by my friend. I use a belt clip mount to attach to the plate.

How do you access the cooling plugs? What do they look like? Is it something a novice mechanic can do? Pics?
-
I collected some in a pan. It's bluish greenish in color.

I haven't rode my bike in over two weeks. I know I know. The leak appeared right after riding only after the engine cooled completely. The drip shows up every couple days or so. So the temporary wet spot only shows up every few days and I haven't rode the bike since I noticed the leak. Also it is in 2 locations. Middle of the bike and right under the air filter.
-
I'm 99% sure it's gas. I had a difficult time with smells (nose is messed up) so I can't tell by smell. Other that lighting a match, which I'm not gonna do, I don't know how to tell if it's fuel or not.

2007 Yamaha Venture
I have what I believe to be a fuel leak. It's not oil because the spot on the concrete isn't stained. It evaporates after a few days and doesn't leave a stain. It feels like fuel. My choke assembly looks very dirty and "corroded". A tube or wire looks messed up. I will post a picture later tonight.
Can someone post a closeup picture of their choke knob area?

My Baggershield is the smaller profile so my pouches partially cover the speedometer. I'm not happy about that but I tend to go with the flow of traffic so I'm not too worried about speeding tickets.
-
I'm still gonna try the Kawasaki 20/50 oil but I realized that the whistle is nowhere near as loud as you guys are talking about with your bikes and the videos. The previous owner of my bike might have already swapped clutch baskets or its just not as loud. I barely heard it today and when I did it was slight.
-
I use the same Yamalube that the Honda/Yamaha service dept here in Montgomery uses. I have an extra bottle in the shed. I check tomorrow. Too late and don't want to wake up the wife. Bad things happen when I do that.
-
I've had the bike over 2 years and I've always heard the whine since I bought it used. I honestly thought that it was just how motorcycle engines sounded because my M50 Boulevard did the same thing. I bought it used as well.
I only brought it up because I was looking at the specs of my bike online to get the exact dimensions. I'm looking to buy an enclosed trailer to hold my bike and the wife's CanAm Spyder F3S. There was a comment on the page I was visiting that talked about the whine. Only then did I realize that I was hearing the same thing with my bike.
I'm gonna try a different oil. It's due for an oil change now any way. I currently use the Yamalube. Any suggestions of oil that might help?
-
Cowpuc - that is exactly what it sounds like but not as loud. It also makes that noise when I let go of the throttle and slow down.
-
After reading more, I'm not so sure it would be the clutch basket. The clutch basket rattle is when the bike is in neutral and the clutch lever is released.
The whistle I am talking about is a whistle that happens while its in gear and I'm cruising at 30+ mph. My M50 Boulevard made a similar whine/whistle. I am confused.

Is the camera on the right mounted using adhesive? I have a video recorder but I'm afraid the adhesive won't hold and I'll lose my video recorder. My recorder is round like the one you have.
