    If you do a youtube search a guy explains how it was faked Keith
  2. I bought mine locally but it wasn't a Yamaha part. Try looking in a Parts Canada Catalog or Motovan Keith
  3. I have the Venturemp3 player and am having some issues with it. Nothing serious but enough that I'll go back to using my Zumo. They did offer for me to send it back to Spain for testing but the shipping for me made it not worth it. Keith
  4. Good luck on that one Barry. I needed one a couple of years ago and the only ones that I came across were damaged. I had to replace both sides so it was a tad expensive. I have the left one still waiting to be installed. Check out these guys for pricing....Yamaha Canada are nuts ! Keith http://www.yamahasportsplaza.com/
  5. This is the link to the Marketplace show the guys are talking about Keith http://www.cbc.ca/marketplace/episodes/2012/11/pumpfiction.html
  6. That's what I figure the shop here will want as well....I'm the type of guy if anything can go wrong it will so I'm staying away from it. Only thing spring is 6 mths away for me! Keith
  7. Yep me too. Left rear Cylinder.......gonna wait till spring and get valves done same time as well. Keith

    Helmet cams

    I did use it first when I bought it but havn't used it much this year if at all. I haven't done alot of riding this year. Its nice to have I guess but I dunno if I would invest a big amount of money unless I had something specific I needed it for. Keith

    Drift makes a nice camera as well. I have the older model but they just released a HD small version. Keith
  10. In most cases multiply the last nbr by 5 will give you the bore size......eg 6004.....4x5=20 mm.....6205....5x5=25mm. In my 20 years in the bearing business Yamaha were the worst for having odd size bearings. Keith
  11. Call old faithful....he loves to take things apart!!!!!
  12. Thats about the same as I got out of mine. I always used a battery tender as well. Check out the Argus battery bug .....helps keep an eye on the battery condition. Keith
  13. I didn't know Jim was on the case...... I may of waited.......ya right!
  14. Hi Guys Just an update......I received my order today from Yamaha Sports Plaza My Local Dealer total $752.30 Same order landed here all fees paid.....$440.42 $311.88 Big Difference Considering it all came from a Yamaha Warehouse Somewhere Keith ($7.98 for a Yamaha filter from those guys)
  15. Drop By I have 3 new tires and rims in my garage you can have. Keith
  16. Have a look at this site.... https://www.kisantech.com/index.php?cat_id=4 Keith
  17. George have a look in the classified section under member vendors... Rick Butler..... Keith
  18. I tow a Piggy Backer - love it. Not a bad price if you can get it delivered close to the border and pick it up or pay the extra shipping. Keith http://www.piggybacker.com/Piggybacker/PiggyBacker_Cargo_Trailer.html
  19. Do Diamond R still sell them ? - I see the brackets ? Keith
  20. Yep I have the EQ with the 901's....they say not to use them without it....not sure what would happen. I ordered the refoam kit for the 901's but when they made the offer I decided to go with new. I picked up a set of 601 series 1 awhile ago that I use with my surround system. I had a set before the 901's and looked for years to get a set....refoamed for $150.....sweet sound. Starting to worry about all the magnets being in one room!!! Keith
  21. I have a Luxman Hybrid tube amp that I bought in the early 80's that still works like it did then......I bought a set of Bose 901's at the same time and the speaker surounds were rotted...I contacted Bose last year and they replaced them....for a fee....now thats a Warranty! I still use the Luxman ststem but did go to a Sony surround setup - there is no comparison when it comes to sound between the two. Keith
  22. I'm just back from vacation and I was getting 12.3 kms/liter. My Fuel light came on (not on reserve and I think I had 7L or so left) at 208kms......I was riding 2 up pulling a full trailer. Not sure if you have the same tank size as a Venture ? Keith
  23. I went to the local dealer to get some prices on a few items after I looked in the US online......(Yamahasportsplaza.com) Left Crash Bar - $390.99 CDN - $237.93 US Clutch Plates - $15.99 CDN - $6.95 US Oil Filter - $13.99 CDN - $7.95 US Air Filter - $44.99 CDN - $20.33 US Almost double to support the local CDN dealer......even with freight I'll still be in money. I guess I will have to support the US economy....again! Thought I'd share Keith
  24. I may have mentioned this before but back a few years my son was struck by a snowmobile trailer that. A guy didn.t use safety chains. The trailer got loose and struck him while walking on a sidewalk......brusied kidneys.......lacerated liver.....nice scar the length.of his chest...... So yes you need to use chains. Not a motorcycle related accident but. An example of what can happen. Keith
  25. Have a look at these pictures... Keith
