It’s great deal! Even the speedo housing looks brand new!

All of these parts are in excellent condition. This is from a 1983 venture xvz1200. I am referring to all the plastics including saddlebags, trunk and fairing., the color is maroon. Other parts include rear taillight plus bracket and fender. All of the chrome pieces as well. I’ve stripped the bike down to its bare bones and will be turning it into a bobber of sorts. Again… these parts are in excellent condition. I am selling everything together.. will not mail individual parts. You will have to come and pick up the parts. I’m asking $250 for the entire bundle. I’m located in Oklahoma if you are interested. Pm me for more info. Thanks

Will do,thanks

Will do

Update! Bike is running amazingly well… My shifting is good but a little stiff. Will need to assess!

It couldn’t be this simple!! Positive battery wire was loose… really?? She fired right up! But….. tach is out. I did check #2 and it does have spark. Bike is back up and running though, will keep assessing on the tach.

Bike was running great and now. …. Urgh puff of smoke / loud pop coming from single carb . Bike does not run. All electrics work . I have spark on all 4. If my Cdi was bad , I wouldn’t have spark, correct? any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the tips. Have lots to do on this bike. Probably the most comfortable bike I’ve ever ridden. Bells and whistles all over the place. It even has built in air cushions plus an auto level feature. I will keep troubleshooting. Has to be the carbs but … who knows.

I still have my venture with its single carb and she still rides amazing! I did just trade an old bike for a 1986 Suzuki cavalcade 1400 and its engine looks very similar to my venture. have an issue I’m hoping someone could figure out. It has its original 4 carbs and the bike runs but…. It is popping back from the carbs at low idle with slight hesitation. some have suggested a lean condition. I put in a new fuel filter and have new plugs on the way. the bike did sit for a few years but the fuel tank was clean . at higher speeds the bike runs amazingly well but just have this low rpm missing/ hissing pop sound coming from the carbs , which is intermittent. thoughts??

Update!! Replaced the tci box and she’s up and running on all 4 cylinders again!

Bike is a 1983 Yamaha venture. Does Yamaha still make pickup coils? Or if not, best place to find these new. thanks

Just a note here but when I restored 1984 Goldwings I used a new set of coils from a Dodge Neon . I’m wonder why something like that could possibly be done to upgrade the coils and not have to mess with replacing the cdi box. new coils are way too expensive running in upwards of $150 each

1983 venture and here is my issue. no spark left front plug. Other 3 plugs have spark. I have a new plug wire on it, new plug and last week I switch the back plug wire and got spark , so I isolated it to the coil. Ordered a good coil and she fired up with spark. Went to start this morning and again , no spark on front left ( I’m assuming that’s #2). please help, thank you

Is there a loaner TCI on this forum or maybe someone has a working TCI for an 83 they would be willing to sell?? Is there an upgrade for the TCI if I choose that route. thanks

Okay….. lots have happened in the past week. Completed the single carb and she ran beautifully, then…… started misfiring and my tach is now not moving. I checked for spark and 3 plugs have spark but no spark on front left plug. I put a new plug , boot and plug wire in and still no spark. I then checked the coil by swapping wires and I got spark . I ordered another coil, if that doesn’t fix it , will have to get a tci module I guess
