    I feel like with using 4th gear has been wonderful, seems to run great and my MPG has gone up too.

    Now I have only had this bike for about 3 months, not much info from PO. I have changed the oil, I have said I am no motor guy but also can't afford Dealer fixes either, I am ok to do things on my own but when I need help I don't mind paying someone to do the work, Just not a dealer. But for now its running good and I do have a invite to have some of you to help,

    everyone on here is great I love all the help this site and its members bring

    I am looking at this type of set up. But I wanted to talk to someone that has real life riding with one, so Im out at the bike rally yesterday in downtown Indy, Yep I find a Venture with it on there, (but no owner) man it looked good, wife liked it, Bike is from here in Indiana, Anyone happen to know who that was please let them know someone would love to talk about how they like it and if they would do it again.

    Funny you say that, well yesterday we rode out to visit our youngest son by Oxford OH. took all 2 lane (wonderful ride) and all at 55mph (well mostly) and I never left 4th gear. Yes I am a happy guy, no problems riding there.

    I must say I was scared of staying in 4th but this bike likes to be there going at that speed.

    you guys are the best. Thanks for all your input,

    You guys are the best, I have done the carb cleaner thing, it runs fine its just you cant run at 55 to 62 its like it wants to run out of gas.

    I did think for a moment about being in 5th gear. but I am already there riding at 55-60 in 5th gear. but its like it wont stay there, you can go faster or slower you just cant ride there, (someone made a 55 mph speed limit)

    anyway I would love to come up there one Sat morning say around Aug 22 or sometime in Sept.

    Again Thank you my wife thanks you. She likes to ride but always asks me whats wrong lol.

    Sorry, its a 2007 midnight venture.

    we like it a lot, but we are planning a long trip next year and want to make sure I know what I have and what Im doing

    and what I should look for. I would like for someone to show me little maintenance tricks to do.

    I am just not a motor guy but have been riding for 30 years and will ride longer but cant afford deals prices, I just put new rubber on and it cost me way to much for the install, let me know when you are free and I will ride over your way and pay you to do the carbs.

    Good morning

    Well we went to Ohio for a small bike trip, using 2 lane roads, riding 55 to 62 my bike does not want to run.

    Its like it wants to stop running, like your running out of gas.

    Let me ask this, is there someone who knows how to sych carbs that lives within say 200 miles of Indy ? I hve had 3 bad things at dealers so I try not to use them, I would rather pay someone out of there garage.

    Love my bike and Im just not calm enough to work on things like that. anyway thank you for your help or ideas
