  1. 1983 yamaha venture royale update I put in a new petcock now have a small leak at the petcock where the unit meets the tank.
  2. Taking granddaughter on a ride and motorcycle acted as if i was running out of gas , was close to gas station put only a gallon in. What do it need to check?
  3. How does the high / low switch go back on their is one peace with a ridge on it that doe not seam to fit. A pic would help. Thanks
  4. Checked battery it shows 12.8,12.7 when running. Went an clean the high and low switch. I the out come high beam good low dem to no light.
  5. My headlight only works on high and when I turn on the key I hear a low hum from somewhere. I put in a new bub and the same thing, now batter died. What to look at next. Spend more time fixing than riding.
  6. Not a long story but, not running so good could not make it around the block. To me it looked as it was not getting gas to the carb. I got a new filter and not much change, so I was going to drain the carbs bolds got one to drain and the other 3 screw felt if they may step if i keep goin. Now I tried the carb tune and if the uploads this is what I got. If you can not see it no action on the carbtune. Update it runs but not good, on the carbtune i get it synced somewhat on the lower scale,but all the bars are close. First gear is fine goes down from there, I am running seafoam in it now in hope of cleaning the carbs,maybe a tank or three. .
  7. Got one from ebay put in on but the pedal does not come back the to the start position. Got the air out front and back. Took the caliber apart and clean it up, still no go.
  8. 1983 yamaha venture royal,can i ride with only the front brake and doing so not drain the dot 3?
  9. The rear brake cyclender broke the one that holds the brake fluid. Will not let me add pic
  10. Called a shop to get some carb work done and asked how much will it cost he said 2k,to 3k I said thank you and hung up the phone.
  11. This bike sit for a long time in a shied, it hadrust in the gas tank I got it clean out and put on a new gas filter. I havebeen using sea form in it trying to clean the carbs and they do seam to begetting better. The bike will idle with the coke off, but as soon as you put itin gear ,you have to gave it a lot of throttle. I have not taken the carbs off to clean them that is something I have not done before and do not wont to make a mistake. It has 16084.8 miles on it and I have not put on a mile as of yet. But did redo the kickstand it was to short, I would have to look down to use it. I did try to sync the carbs and they sysnc on the lower it on the tool, I use a four inline synce.
  12. Hello My name is Ken and I have a 1983 Yamaha Venture Royale. It was in poor shape when I got it. To date I have worked onthe brakes, the clutch, the master cylinder. Changed out the spark plugswith new ones. I have been using sea fome in it and let it run a while eachweek .It will start ,run at a idle but has very little power. what to do next?
