    I always hate running anything right at its design capacity. That bike is pretty close to 1000 lbs.

    As mentioned the transmission uses engine oil under pressure for lubrication, With the engine not running there is no oil flow to those parts.

    If I leave the transmission in neutral, wont that be fine since it is not a shaft drive? 

    Oil overfill on my 2018 Star Venture TC

    Any suggestions on how to remove some oil out of the tank? I overfilled it just a bit after finding it very low when the dealer changed out my break-in oil. I live in the desert and am using yamalube 20-50 to help with heat. My wife suggested using a spray bottle top but I think the oil might be too thick to pump out that way. Maybe a turkey baster would work.

     

    Anyone ever had this situation and found a fix?

    Tires

    The problem I had at the dealership where I bought my bike, is that if they don't specifically say they are for this bike . . . even though the load/speed ratings are the exact same if it doesn't say it will work for this bike they wouldn't put it on. I had to call Dunlop they verified with their engineers and then reached out to the dealership stating so, they are also changing their info to include this bike in the fitment options. So while the Wingstuff site has a good price some places won't do the work if it's not specified to work on that particular bike. In one way I get it in another if it's the same exact numbers as the OEM then why won't they do it.

     

    The owner's manual for the Venture lists these exact tires as OEM. That what was on mine when I bought it brand new.

    Take your 2018 Star Venture wireless with Sena Freewire

    in Watering Hole

    Anyone figure out how to eliminate the sidetone using the Freewire and 30K? I talked to Sena and I was told to turn off the sidetone in the 30K settings, which I have. They confirmed there is no way to access any menus on the freewire and told me to look for a setting on the info system on the Venture. I was not able to find anything to control the sidetone which is very annoying when talking.

     

    Just wanted to know if anyone has found a work a round of this?

    On board communication system after upgrade to R12.0.6

    I bought a Sena Freewire to use with the 7 pin onboard communication system on the Venture TC. I tested it out before the upgrade and everything was working fine. However, after the upgrade, I no longer have any sounds coming out in my headset. I can use voice commands and the system recognizes the voice input, but the radio, CB, XM and all other media no longer can be heard in my helmet. I made sure all the helmet boxes for both rider and passenger are checked in the audio settings. Im not sure if this is a bug in the new version that has not been found yet. I wish I was able to obtain the original stock version of the system so I can revert and use the system as it was before the upgrade.

     

    Has anyone else had this situation?

    No Engine Temp Gauge on the 2018 Star Venture?

    in Star Venture and Eluder Tech Talk ( '18 - Present)

    I just traded my 2015 Goldwing in for a new 2018 Star Venture TC. The GW engine was water cooled and had an engine temp gauge which I keep my eye on quite a bit while riding here in the desert of SoCal. During my ride home on the Venture from the dealership, I was stressed to find that the Yamaha had no such gauge. This is my first big air cooled V Twin. Do air cooled bikes not have engine temp gauges?
