My story, 07 venture...replaced with "I" basket.....drastic improvement.....no leveling links, no 130 tire...carbs synched...high output stator........E3 tires...clearview shield....love bike.......the end.

actually....no....the manual states you should be at 13.8 volts..at the rpms your talking about...and like others stated here..measured at the battery.........my gauge shows around 13.8 - almost 14...with passing lamps off, high beam on.......13.5 at idle is good..at around 1000 rpm's.......so idle is good..but your cruising rpm voltage is low...........i have the high output stator...but you should still be higher than 13.5 at speed...

i'd never run tire pressure over the max limit stated on the tire.... and i don't understand how a tire can be better or worse on tar snakes unless the tread channels are so deep that the tire is able to make contact with the road surface under the tar......and i've yet to see a motorcycle tire with the deep tread blocks needed to accomplish that , except dirt track tires.......the tire rides on top of the tar and the shearing action of the tar under the tire makes the bike slide.......if i take my foot and step on a tar line, my foot wiggles the tar....

i've got a small rectangular bag that harley made to put in the electra glide standard's radio/stereo space....it holds my wallet and my compact 45....and has loops to put your belt through...works great...

yep....the adjure lamps......same thing with me...
-
and for those interested...the estimate to fix my 07 that was blown over.....$4500.00.........wind can be expensive

go to second gen tech library.....seat section

can i come and yell with you.........and the 69 chevelle is what got me hooked on muscle cars in the late 60's...

you should have no problem with your 99.....my experience with my 86 monte carlo and my 75' honda , however, did prove the leak theory as the monte was bone dry underneath until i went to mobil 1, and the honda headgasket area which is prone to seepage, started leaking bad....but these vehicles are what i consider old... newer vehicles supposedly have better gaskets and i believe that....but... if you switch and start to show leaks you didn't have before...then switch back...

same for me
-
i'm at work and i get a phone call from scheduling.....it appears that the local storm...BLEW my bike over !!.....i don't know if it actually blew it over or blew it forward and it fell...either way, the parking garage guy says major damage to faring....this is an 840 lb bike.....hard to believe...the bike is parked next to the office under the parking ramps...on concrete...it's not really out in the open.....i just finished mounting new tires, carbon 1 braces, new plugs, carb sync.........anyone ever heard of this with a bike this heavy..??
-
the "I" basket worked for me.....
-
are these readings before or after the bike has warmed up..remember that the carb heaters come on when you put the bike in gear and if the outside temp is low enough ( i forget what temp they come on)....they will turn off once the bike warms up and it's not too cold outside....they draw a lot.....55w running lamps take a lot also

you don't have to use yamaha oil.......but if you use an oil that does not meet the specifications stated in the manual...that can void any warranty work yamaha says was caused by using that oil......

installed ......and picked up bike today.....definitely gone.....

High Output Stator from Buckeye Performance
jlh3rd replied to Joopster55's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
not much more to report.....the connection you are talking about is the stock connector from the stator....some say it can corrode and inhibit current..and i believe that.......but.....when you get the upgrade stator, that problem is eliminated because you solder (sic?)..the wires together..............so i shouldn't have that problem i just made a run and my voltage shows about 13.9 with high beam.......13.5 +/- with passing lamps......and a few days ago when i used my heated vest and gloves, voltage was not much over 12......so im discouraged i don't know the wattage, but the jacket liner is gerbings . and the gloves were won in a contest from yamaha and i forget the make.....i guess there could be a problem with the heated clothes....but they work..... there are people on this site that know way more than me about this system....i don't wanna steer you wrong.......maybe they will chime in......plus, do a search on this site.....this topic has been discussed many times........ -
High Output Stator from Buckeye Performance

sparksterr ...i'm no expert..i do understand basic electric circuits, charging, discharging, batteries etc...and i've learned a lot more on this site......but i think i've finally given up on my venture and it's charging system....ironic that you just made your post. i have installed the high output stator, new battery last year, and for good measure,a new regulator....i have run/turn/brake lights (incandescent)..switched from 55w to 35w running lamps and no other additional lighting....battery cables are good, tight, and connections are clean.....and when i plug in a heated vest and gloves...i watch my voltage drop from 13.6 (plus or minus) to around 12.2....if i switch to the headlight only, then voltage goes back up to 13 plus.....others on here say that they can run a lot more than i have and they have no problem with the stock system....so...i don't know ..... it appears that the higher stator hasn't made a difference...... -
i got an additional $20 off tires at jakewilson.by using a coupon code.....do a search.....i think it was "JWMC"....
