  1. I apprieciate all the input. I'm glad that there is a sight that is dedicated to the needs of the Venture riders. This one will surely be on my favs list.
  2. All sounds to be good advice. The reason the problem perplexes me is because it is such a new ride. I'm hoping that is as simple as giving tightening a bolt or putting air in something. I dred the thought of having to buy new tires this soon but, if I have too, any ideas?
  3. Yeah, I'm going to give it a good going over tomorrow. Tom: Have you heard someting about Bridgestones?
  4. No, I dun gragiated a long time ago.
  5. No deffinets, 04/05 is a ways off. If something doesn't come up I'ld lke to make it.
  6. Those that have dropped their bike and those that will.
  7. I'm new to this site, but to riding ( 30 + yrs). In April ' 07 I purchased a new '07 Venture. After today I still have less than 5,000 miles on it. I've begin to notice a little unsteadyness in the front end lately. This may be hard to explain exactly what I'm talking about, but I'll try; I've checked tire pressure and its OK. There is also zero pressure in both forks. When riding the bike and going into a curve (lean) I noticed that the front end feels ( scince I can't think of any other word ) wobbely, however the bike maintains complete stability when I let go the bars ( on the straight-a-ways of corse ). When I got home I checked the front end by shaking it back and forth. It seems to feel that the front forks are some what like noodles and that the wheel is lagging behind the handle bars. I've checked thr steering as best I could and there are no signs of any loose parts. I'll recheck the tire pressure again, but if anyone else has experienced this problem and there is a fix, please let me know.
