I had quite a few $$ in my Venture when I had it too, but after going through that bad accident I had with it, I have a different outlook on what I really need to invest in on my bike as far as accessories. I'm not going to do all eye candy again. My GW came with several accessories when I bought it, and I have installed a few items since, but it fits me fine the way it is and serves every purpose I need at this time. If things go as planned, I may need a small pulll behind trailer, but then again I may not..

If Yamaha made improvements in it's; Stereo department..(ie get rid of the cassette player) Rear shock durabiity Ignition Switch durability Different shaped stock windshield to improve the air buffetting upgrade the clutch to last longer Improve braking power / capabilities The rest of the bike is fine the way it is with it's 1300cc engine. If Yamaha came out with a 1600 or 1800 RSV... with above mentioned improvements, I myself would sell my GW, and go back to the RSV. I really enjoyed my RSV and feel the Ventures are very nice dependable bikes. Heck to me they are a whole lot better looking then the GW. However, the GW has its problems and needed improvements just as well as the RSV or any other bike on the road. I like my GW too...but I am thinking of down sizing since I ride solo all the time. A lighter bike may be in my future......

If you do my suggestion, you can rest assured you at minimum, eliminated that possibility of being your problem, and in doing so you also sealed all the connectors from moisture. This may, or may not be the cure to your problem, but it is a simple task well worth doing, and will do nothing but help improve the electrical contact durability of your bike.

You need to split the front fairing. If you need help on this feel free to ask. Standing in front, looking aft, on the left hand side, there is a bundle of "BLACK" wire connections. (4) bundles). Carefully pull one connector (male/ female) apart and spread a little dialectric grease over the female connector covering he holes. Then plug it back to gether. Do this to all 4 connectors (wont hurt) and by doing all 4 of them you will do the one that pertains to your radio and your radio should work correctly after that..common known problem with them...

So many types to choose from out there Dennis, but no matter what type trailer I pull, it must have a spare.....preferably sitting in a cubby hole inside the trailer where it stays clean and is easy to got to.. Have you seen these? Spare tire would be extra though... (Road GT model or the Drifter model) http://www.roaddogtrailers.com/trailers_Widetrack_deluxe.asp

Possibly, but I doubt it.. It may just be the battery is low from sitting? When was the last time it was started..? Then again, it coud be the ignition switch too... Ops, I forgot, I am not certified so I am not a master mechanic...
