I have the Sena Freewire and Sena Calvary Helmets (built in mic and speakers). I can't use the CB because my Helmets are voice activated. With my chatterbox wife along, her voice thru my helmet gets picked up by my mic and goes out thru the CB. Riding with our group, her constant talking or singing would go out overthe CB and the tailgunners and leaders could not talk to eachother. LOL. I had to quit using the CB.

You can check the battery level thru the Info System. My front quit registering at all. I thought it was the battery. It was not. The bike shop had to reset the TPMS device in the front tire with a device the dealer has. BTW, the front tire pressure should be 36PSI and the back is 41PSI per factory recommendations.

Sorry, I just saw this and you probably have it on already. It's not as hard as it looks. I took a pic of the wire routing, then disassembled the stock one and installed the new higher one. My issue is, neither one is straight enough to support your back properly. You have to lean back into it, which eliminates the support factor.

Has anyone installed headlight or taillight modulators on a 2018 Venture T/C? I've been checking the internet and can't find anything specific for the newer Ventures.

Can anyone tell me how to set up a Sena Cavalry helmet to the Sena Freewire. At present the the voice activation of the Cavalry Helmet activates the CB and COMM at the same time. So, if I have the CB on and try to talk to my wife on the back, it also broadcasts out over the CB without hitting the Talk Button. Is there a way around the voice activation?

I will be taking a look at this, also. It must be a ***** to not be able to get into your saddlebag when you need to. Especially, if you carry your wallet and other needed things in there, like I do.

My 2018, also acts like this. It has to get good and hot, then the idle settles down. It's just something you have to get used to.

Need a little tech support. I mounted the Sena Firewires on the bike. I paired each Calvary Helmet separately to their own Firewires to the phone setting. My wife's (passenger) puts out music from the entertainment media. Mine does not. I put it in intercom mode. At first it worked, when I hit my button, it cut out the music in my wife's helmet and I could talk, and visa versa (but talking thru either helmet also put your voice thru your own helmets earpieces). I drove the bike up to the front of the house, I figured, for today, we could just listen to the music thru the onboard speakers and just use the intercoms in the helmets. So, when I got up to front of the house, I turned everything back on. My wife's put out music. Mine did absolutely nothing. No music, no intercom, nothing. I tried re-pairing the devices, playing with connections, etc...I don't know if I got a bad helmet or not. Help.......

I am in the process of purchasing the Sena Freewire and Sena Calvary helmets for my 2018 Venture TC, after I had read this post and did some research. From what I've read, this should work and I got my fingers crossed, because it is a chunk of change to buy it all. But, I'm excited. Thanks for the info.

Does anyone else, that has a 2018 Venture, have a stiffness with the shifting? Mine really snaps as you shift into any gear, up or down. When I took it in for it's 600 mile check-up, I asked them to ride it and let me know if that was normal. I was used to my 2005 Tour Deluxe and 2007 Venture transmissions which shifted much smoother. My wife even made a comment from the back seat on how she felt the shift, everytime I shifted. Anyway, the Yamaha mechanics said it was normal, but I thought I would check with other owner riders, to see what they have to say. Appreciate any comments.

Got the bells, Don. Sorry, I took so long to tell you. Had other issues going on. Thanks again, they look great and are on the bike, already. 👍

I would like two of the VentureRider Guardian Bells. Heading to Paypal, now.

Have these units from J&M worked? I bought "iMC motorcom" headsets for HARLEY to put in our half helmets. They plug in fine, but I cannot hear anything from my wife and she hears me constantly. And neither one of us can hear the stereo thru the helmet speakers. I think I made a bad purchase. Anybody have any ideas.

Not sure what steps (Steps 6&7) I see many people are saying they didn't have in their manuals. I realize many of these comments are old, yet I am sure there are some new Venture Riders out there that may want to get an additional fob, I just did. I paid $179.17 for mine. The procedure in the manual is convoluted, but it worked. I just had to get the steps correct in my head. Once I did, I finally got it programmed. If any one needs the procedure, let me know,

Hi, I would like one of your guardian bells if you still have them. Let me know and I will go to Paypal.
