I'm not a super expert on this, but I know that the faster you ride the more bass you will loose. Bass is the slower moving frequency of the spectrum and needs something to bounce off of in order to develop. I think the best solution would be to a proper subwoofer to the setup, but hey, did you want to sit on the bike as well?
Hey, thanks for the replay, yes i would like to have a good quality music with good bass while riding my bike. 🤝🏻

Great job man. Looks awesomme ! 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Hey 👋🏻 i hope everyone is have a great day.(04 midnight venture) I have a real quick question, about better quality amplifier that works best with the polk 4inch speakers. The thing is, my polk speakers are really high quality and good speakers (highly recommend! Very good quality music through those speakers) are playing very nice under 60km/h, but as soon as it hits above 60km/h, the speakers are starting to lose their quality (base e.t.c..) the volume is obviously going higher but the base is going down, i believe here are some good people who have experienced same, and found the solution to it. I believe it’s the amplifier issue, can anyone recommend how to solve this problem,(i’m a big fan of listening to music while riding a bike 🎶🥁🎸🥰)and what amplifier fits my 04 midnight venture, for those speakers. Thank you and ride safe everyone 🤝🏻 much love ❤️ (i’ll drop a picture of the speakers i got)

Tire fill valve. Looks like it is rottten or the wrong one was put in. They should be replaced whenever the tire is replaced because the rubber deteriorates. If that is the case, good thing you found it because it could break off while riding causing a sudden blowout. Take the wheel off, break down the tire bead, cut off the old one, and install new
Thanks for the response mate, can you tell me how to Find the name of the part i need? much appreciated! Yeah i guess i am lucky to find it before riding the bike. Thanks again mate.

Man this bike is going to kill me! I am almost done with it, got every part that i need. Just waiting for them to arrive on 1st October. 2 hours ago i sat on my 04 midnight Venture because i miss to ride it.(didn’t ride it) And when i got off the bike, i was putting the tent on it, while i was doing it I accidentally hit the wheel plug or whatever u wanna call it (the place where u put air inside the tire the. rim valve i think) and suddenly i hear the noice of an leaking air. I’m fucking tired of fixing the bike all the time, but i am going to get it back on track whatever’s it takes! i need your help guys, i am going to put the video here, can u tell me what is broken here and what part do i need to fix the tire 🛞? Thanks and safe ride to everyone! (Sorry for my english)

Hello RS riders, hope everyones having a great day. I got this problem right here, some Fluid is leaking from the left side of the cover. I think it won’t be difficult to fix, just need some guidance and advise how to do it. Thanks. And safe ride to everyone out there 🙏🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻

PM or email dfitzbiz
It is going to be hard to do that, because i am living way too far from USA.
but thanks anyway!

Great score!
No need to cut up your "Blown" shock. It's probably just a bad O-Ring. Dfitzbiz rebuilds them at a very good price and will even talk you through doing it yourself.
i have leaking rear shock too, how can i rebuild it? any ideas? thanks

@Sandro17 Hey guy, I'm not going to report this, but you might want to edit your post. This is a family oriented forum.
TBH, it doesn't offend me, but it is not appropriate language here.
Done ✅

Update On a bike, this dust seal (No.33) is screwed and i was losing oil, plus ( No. 8 Bearing) was screwed too, i ordered OEM parts from megazip, hopefully they’ll arrive 20th September. Did the UV flashlight trick, saw the oil coming from this place (don’t know the name of this part of the bike) turns out the bolt was missing, got the correct size bolt, hopefully fixed it, got the bike parted out, waiting for the parts to arrive. Then i’ll let u guys know the update. 🙏🏻

Well spent more time under the scoot looking with the blacklight. Nothing in the normal areas.
Another drop seen on the bottom of the rubber dust cover over the u-joint. Looking more carefully, it "could" be the oil seal just before the u-joint. Part #18 (93101-35085-00) on parts page D1 (37 or 112)
Follow my thinking...if the oil drips out of that seal, it will run out the dust cover and drip onto the frame rail. It will flow back to the left exhaust pipe and onto the left saddlebag...which does get oil on it during a run. At rest, it will run down the left side rail to the lowest point...which is forward... under the area where the neutral switch/stator wires/shift shaft are.
My only problem with this argument, is you would also think the oil would run out the back of the dust cover and to the rear... along the swing arm that encloses the drive shaft. But it's dry as a bone! So more confusion...I don't see how it could leak without blowing oil back along the swing arm/drive shaft side.
The area of normal contention, neutral switch/stator wires is dry except for one engine bolt that faces into the block from left to right. It has a drop of oil on the bottom of the head. It's tight so I can't think of why that would leak. Don't want to crank down on it since I can't find it on the parts pdf...
No cracks. No obvious issues other than the leak...which is slightly worse now than 2 weeks ago. 3 drops instead of 1 small one.
Guess I'll just keep on riding and watch the oil level. Something is bound to show up at some point that makes sense....
So how does this oil leak story end up? Did you find the leak spot? Did u fix it?

One last thought before I head out of town again...
Both the neutral switch and the shift shaft are down low on the left side of motor. Under the stator wires. All three of these areas can leak. The neutral switch had an orange O ring, the shift shaft has on O ring and the stator wires coming out of the case can leak around the seal. RTV is your friend in that case.
The most important information is that most screws and bolts are not tightened down hard. Most are torqued to inch pounds... Not foot pounds. Overnighting will cause leaks. The valve cover gaskets will leak if tightened down like you would a car's. In fact, they will leak more if you try to tighten them even more.
A good torque wrench really is important on these bikes.
Other than this... They are very dependable scoots.
I think the link I sent you earlier about my oil leak also shows pictures of the neutral switch and stator wires. If not, do a Search on posts with my name on them.
Hope everything is going well for you my friend. I am about to start the proper clean of the engine, i was wandering how to clean it? Because it is impossible to clean this mess from underneath the motor. I just can’t reach with any brush the dirt and oil. It will be hard for me alone to gently lean the bike on its side and plus i’ve heard that leaning bike on the side is not good for the engine fluids etc… Any suggestions? Thanks have a good day.

Someone earlier had mentioned the shift shat seal along with the Stator Wires. Definitely look at those wires. They come out of stator cover toward the rear of the cover...easy to find once you remove the rear (transmission)cover. Be careful with that trans cover as there is a small copper washer on the bottom bolt of that cover to help seal that bolt. ( check that one for leaking as well). With that cover out of the way, you can get at the shifter shaft seal to determine if there is any seepage there, but more importantly you can now see the 2 rubber grommets in the rear of the stator cover...upper one has 2 wires, lower has 3. When I replaced my stator a couple of years ago, one thing was pretty obvious right away. On the stator I removed (unsure if it was OEM or other) the 3 wires running thru that grommet were sealed tight into the grommet. On the new stator those 3 wires were loose in the grommet, being able to slide back and forth. Although I applied a fair bit of RTV to the grommet and around all the wires, I still had oil leaking out past those wires. I tried cleaning the case from the outside and applying more RTV, but the leak continued. It wasn't a lot of oil coming out, but after a couple of hours riding there would be oil blown back along the frame, the exhaust pipe and the kick stand., and when stopped for a while leaned over on the stand, the oil would collect along the bottom edge of the stator cover, or run down the stand, and also drip onto the ground from the kickstand safety switch (just ahead of the stand). Some of the oil might have been leaking from around the cover gasket, but the majority of it was coming from the wires. Not only would it drip from that side of the bike, but the oil would also travel down those wires into the bundle of wires zip-tied together in the centre of the bike just ahead of the shock...which gave the appearance of a leak from the back of the motor. Lots of brake clean, lots of cleaning rags, pulled the cover, cleaned the inside of the cover, removed all the old RTV and very carefully re-applied some quality hi temp oil resistant RTV (Yamabond or equivalent) into that grommet around all 3 wires, from the inside and the outside. I let the RTV cure overnight, applied a light smear of the same RTV to the gaskets as well as the engine and the covers, let them sit for a few minutes, then put the covers on, torqued the bolts and again let it sit overnight before adding oil and running the engine. For the first time in a couple of years the bike doesn't mark it's territory wherever it stops. Zero oil leakage.
As stated in another post, the engine doesn't like being full to the high mark on the oil sight glass. That only leads to oil drips from unexpected places, including the collection of hoses that come out of the bottom of the frame just ahead of the rear shock.
Good luck with the leak hunting.
The oil level is in the middle of the glass so u think it’s alright, im going to have to translate everything u wrote down, to my mechanic. Thanks for the tips highly appreciated my dear friend, i’ll keep u updated. I’m just waiting for my mechanic to deal with it with me, going to visit him this friday. Ride safe 🙏🏻

Sorry, I've been out of town. Getting ready to go camping tomorrow.
That area looks like directly below and to the rear of the oil pan area... Under the transmission.
If you have wet oil there, I'd look forward of that to the oil pan drain plug. It should not be very tight. If someone replaced without changing the gasket on the bolt....that might be your leak. There are a few other hoses and connections under there that can leak as well. You really need to clean the area with carb cleaner before you do anything else. Get the underside clean. Then run motor with UV fluid in it for a few minutes. Turn off and look for fluid with UV light.
You may have to wait a few minutes before the oil shows up if it's coming from somewhere above. Have patience... You will get this.
Ask @Marcarl for help if I'm still not available due to camping in the woods!
Good luck!
David
P.S. download RSV manual from this site if you haven't yet.
Really appreciate your help and thanks for The replay. I’ll do it like u suggested. I’ll update the news about the oil leakage. Thanks again and hava a good time the woods 🙏🏻

By the way, if your vent tube is missing or tucked up under something, that could explain oil everywhere along bottom of motor. I haven't looked hard under my 2nd gen so my knowledge here is risky....
My friend can u help me, find These parts on diagram? Do u know which section of the engine is it? I am planing to change every gasket or oil seal underneath the engine, already found the parts on diagram, obviously going ro try uv light trick but anyways i’ll change the old ones with brand new parts. Any help would be highly appreciated 🙏🏻 Have a good day! Ride safe!

I believe i have a same problem with the seals and o-rings and etc. i don’t think that Georgian mechanics would fix it. I am really desperate about this oil leaks in my RSV and do not know how to fix it, i’ll try the blacklight and uv flashlight trick. As soon as i i’ll get engine Dye from the ebay. When i told this trick to my mechanic he told me that he never heard about the ultrasounds tricks (😄😄😄) i guess me and my mechanic have to learn new things about the motorcycle engine together. Wish me a luck, thanks for the post about your oil leak problem. And i have to translate it to my mechanic and maybe he will understand hopefully something about the problem.

So how full is the oil level. My experience with the RSV was half way up window was all it wanted. Anything more and it would find places to blow out. Usually the air boxs fill up.
I just changed the oil, and it’s full, i thought at first that it was leaking from the gaskets and i was right about that, i changed the gaskets and it is dry no more oil is coming from them! But it still leaves the marks on the floor so it must be deep in the engine, i ordered the engine dye and bought a uv light! Going to wash it soon, and going to try that trick with the light see how it goes.

It looks to me like the leak is farther forward. The problem with these types of leak is the oil can be coming from anywhere and being blown back.
Probably best thing to do is get some black light type fluid (ultraviolet)for tracing oil leaks and put it in oil. Clean off as much off the underside as possible. Maybe gently lay bike down on side and pressure wash bottom only! Maybe. Pressure washers and bikes don't get along so be careful.
Run engine for a few then use a black light to look for the greenish tint fluid that will show up under a black light. That would be where the fresh oil is leaking.
I bought a small black light from ACE a while back for a few bux. They were near the cash register. Cheap.
i bought Engine Oil Transmission & Fuel Systems UV Dye 374CS For Auto Oil Gas Diesel ATF from ebay, because there no such thing in my country
i'll buy the ultraviolet flashlight too, and see how it goes. it really drives me crazy those oil leaks, i'll do my best to fix this beautiful bike.

hi everyone. i have 2004 YAMAHA ROYAL STAR MIDNIGHT VENTURE. i'll put some pics here hope that somebody will understand where's the oil leak is coming out. i tried to clean it first but it is really tidy place to get the water. my assumption is that it has to be the mid drive shaft oil seal, but on the pictures, there are lot more evidence of oil leak,(oil leak evidence is underneath left side cover) it is driving me crazy, i really want to fix it and change the parts, local mechanic is really busy, in my country there's a few of 'em. so i was thinking maybe someone would help me to get the right parts for my bike! thanks and safe ride to everyone
