I have a stinger trailer which I used to tow my bike from Ontario to Arizona in Feb through all kinds of weather.It worked great with no problems.It is easy for one person to load or unload bike.It is a near perfect trailer if you have a smaller car for towing

I have the stinger trailer and do not think moving the axle for weight adjustment is necessary
It is well balanced and works well even in unfavorable conditions.
I have it in my garage and if you are ever in this part of Ontario your welcome to have a look at it

I have a stinger motorcycle trailer. Towed my bike to Lake Havasu AZ and back with a Camry.
Very easy for one person to load and unload. I would recommend it

I have a 2006 RSTD and the mpg drop like yours did and the bike still ran fine just a lot more gas
It was a bad coil. If you have not checked the coils yet I would try that first. You can just warm up the bike and feel the pipes to see if they all get hot On mine one pipe never got warm.
It is worth a try if you have not eliminated the coils as a problem yet

Had two root canal and two crowns done in Bangalore India for 418.00
The dentist did look somewhat like the fellow in the above video.
But actually had it done three years ago and everything is still good

I have one on my 2006 and it is strong enough for a tour bag and I like the looks of it better than the model made for the rstd

Have one on my 2006 RSTD and like it very much

I have the stinger trailer and loading and unloading with one person is not a problem
It sits very low to the ground and the bike stays put once in the wheel chuck
Mind I do not have a Venture but it works good for a RSTD

I have a stinger motorcycle trailer that i used to trailer my RSTD from Stratford Ontaro to Lake Havasu AZ. It work perfect through the most worst road conditions imaginable
It folds up small to store and is easy to load the bike on by yourself.
It can be used with a midsize car no need for truck.
If you google stinger trailers you will find all kinds of information and pictures

Happy Birthday V7GOOSE

Sounds like a really good day to me

Thanks everybody for the help so far. It's looking like a coil problem.
I have an mechanic with a small shop near by who I have used before and he is willing to take a coil of a 2009 model and put it on mine and replace it with one from Yamaha when they get them in. I believe at this time it is my best option if I want to get riding again as soon as possible.
V7Goose thanks for the offer of a coil but if this works out I will not need it. If it doesn't go as planned I will get back to you.
This is a US bike so the warranty doesn't work up here
Again many thanks to everyone I'm always amazed at how helpful everyone on this site is.
Hopefully early next week I will be able to let you no that a coil fixed it

I changed both plug wires and coil wires and now the let cylinder is getting hot but not the right.
So I still have to do more test to show its not the plug cap
dale
-
I did not measure the resistance of the plug gap. I don't know whats needed to do this.
I thought by having tested it for spark with out the plug cap on and getting no spark It would be the coil.
I.am home from work now and I will change the wires on the coil and plugs to see what this does.
I've checked all the dealers in the area and they all say the coil is a back order 2-3 weeks
I'am waiting to find out if I can get one from a wrecker.
Thanks for all your help
-
No I did not switch the plug wires and yes it did seem like it was running on two cylinders
I will try again
Thanks
-
The wider wire is black. the narrow ones are orange and yellow.
Changing two wires will be easier than four.
Thanks
-
I will try to switch coil wires tomorrow I dont thing I was getting them to fit on tight and make good contact I will try again when I have some more time.
Thanks very much for all your help

I tried the nail thing with the other coil guess my plyers are not so well insulted. My heart is strong anyways. Seems to be lots of spark by the lifter I got
Tried to change the wires on the coils seemed like both cylinders were not getting hot don't no if I had the clips on tight kind of hard to tell.
Switch wires back on coil and left side did not warm up right did again.
So I'am thinking it's a coil. What do I have to remove to get at them my fat fingers don't seem to fit in that spot
-
Thanks V7goose
The spark from the nail seems very weak . How do I trouble shoot the coil

My gas mileage dropped by about 10 mpg. I checked and my left back cylinder wasn't heating up the pipe so I removed the plug and it was fouled I replaced with new plug but pipe still does not heat up So cylinder is still not firing. I can do some repairs but am not sure on what is the best way to trace this problem. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

My son has had ms for about six and it has been quite agressive. It is one awful disease.
He has had the liberation treatment and it has been the only thing that has helped.
It may be worth your while to look into it. I'm not saying it,s the answer but it,s a option

THere's no snow because it happened on Dec 3 before the snow started in our area.
Roads and weather was clear. I had to slow down to about 80kmh for traffic when we got hit from behind.
Tow truck driver arranged for a rental car to be delivered at interchange and police asked me to fill out as much off the report as I could till the rental got there.
The emergency people working that highway certainly earn there money

The bike I was towing was a 2006 RSTD. It towed very well with bike on the trailer
We went through some very snowy conditions and it behaved very good
