    It's got kevlar monocoque and seatbelts. You'd be sitting in a helmet.

    With the airbox off, check visually that the butterflies open and close as they should. Use a very thinn piece of metall string to adjust the sync screws and butterflies to match. That's a good start to begin syncing if things been tampered with too much...Note that the "idle screw" must be used to adjust carb 2 butterflie. After above, when you start to truly sync with a sync tool, keep the idle up or down with the idle screw after every adjustment!

    beware of backing screws on the right side to much, it will affect carb 2 and make the syncing quite a weird experiance... If stuff has been changed to much, pull the airbox and use a thin metal string and check the butterflies for similarity first. Carb 2 should be able to close with the use of the idle screw. If not, sync screw C on the right side is back out too far...

    Of course I forgot the lock in the front wheel, put her on the side and destroyed my speedo wire...unbelivable. Does anyone know which speedo wires work on our bikes from other models? Looked for XVZ1300TD and could find none but plenty for other Yamahas, should fit anyhow I guess but which ones?

    Recived the fork brace today and installed it immediately. To be honset, I didn't really expect the differance it acctually made! Not a single shake and stady as on rails. I don't really understand why it makes such a differance but indeed it does, thanks for a nice piece Condor, as I see it in real life it feels a bit as a waste to paint it black!

    Just wanted to say hello to the board again, as I do every 3-5th year after abcense, with some pics of my "Black beauty".

    How do I do to aquire the fork brace?
  9. Abbe
    Synced and purrs like a cat! I used a small 0.5mm wire to check all butterflies for equality and used syncscrew/idlescrew to see that everyting opened and closed at it should. Syncscrew C acctually upsets throttle linkage when relesed fully and thus opens carb #2, didn't know that! Hocked up CarbTune and fiddled with Idle, A, B and C untill equality. Not a single pop and strong as a bear...thanks for the replys!

    I would be interested in a fork brace upgrade...(is there a posibillity of getting it black...?)

    Two questions, anyone know the dimensions for the fuel hoses? Nice to have bought the right stuff before I ripp it apart...5, 6mm or something really odd? the two breath hoses connected under the airbox, is there a mod that doesn't upset anything that makes things a bit easier regarding assemble? Wouldn't it be possible to connect it differently? 80% of the time of working off the airbox, playing with the carbs and reconnect everything is that airbox hose... regards

    Ok, then screw C acctually *can* affect carb #2 in a tuning scenario, great thanks! Since the carbs were dismantled I figured I'd do a sync with my newly bought CarbTune, the carbs were ofcourse everywhere and the bike went between 800 and 4000rpms as it wanted by itself, a blipp made it stick on high rpms so I thought I'd better reset everything as I've read here. To my suprise I could not lower the idle anymore, the screw didn't reach the carb! I'll try to equal the butterflys with a string before I try the CarbTune again... regards

    Something just hit me and I had to run to the garage and check: If I turn sync screw C far in, carb #2 closes, if I turn sync screw C far out, carb #2 opens. Something must be wrong with the linkage, screw C is not supposed to be able to change the carbs on the left side, or is it possibe with the screw in extreme settings?

    Hi, long time no see! To make a long story short: My Venture acts weird, the problem right now as I've pulled the airbox is that I can see butterfly #2 not closing eventhough the idlescrew does not touch it!? If I slack the cable at the trottle the throttle will not pull back by itself. If I force the throttle back, the butterfly closes...If I adjust the cables so that I have "normal" throttle operation I still have slack but no go on #2 butterfly!? Is there a spring or something among the carbs that is either missing or come loose since I rebuilded the carbs 5 years ago (yeah, I'm afraid it's been sitting still since, only occasionally startups...) ? regards from Sweden Abbe
