    I haven't had any rear end whine yet (knocking on wood), but will keep this in mind.

    I found this page and it seems to be a very nice list...http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/FilterXRef.html

    Try to check your ground wire...it may be shorting. As you stated before, double check the integrity of your solder connections and check your fuses. Good Luck.

    Not sure if you really want to keep your M cylinder cap off all night. From what I know, you do not want to expose brake fluid in the open.

    He may be a good DIY. He wanted to check things out as stated on his first post.

    I pretty much shift with the sound of the engine. From 4th to 5th, I shift between 55 to 60 on the speedo.

    +1. The fun factor is priceless to me.

    Just to clarify, I get my low 40 mpg running between 68 to 70 mph on my speedo. That is the speed is stay on on the interstates...sometimes faster around 75 to 80 mph on my speedo when passing. At 80 mph, the Venture seems to love that speed but I don't stay too long at that speed. A more relaxed cruise is my ultimate enjoyment.

    Low 30's is low compared to my mpg. I have a sig that shows you what my mpg is and I track all that on an online database. That number is pretty much done on cold riding days. I only have less than 2K miles and the dealer stated that mpg shall improve over time and usually always when the weather gets warmer. It can definitely be an underlying problem mechanically that needs to be addressed...maybe it is just a matter of doing all the basic maintenance such as clean or replace air filter, change plugs, put the right psi on your tires, synch carbs and adjust idle...all of those I pretty much learned from this forum with the help of fellow Venture riders.

    What is your mpg at this time? As mentioned before, lugging the engine will or may hurt the engine and at the same time you are actually using more gas than normal.

    I am not sure what you mean by revving too high at 80 mph. To me, the Venture sounds just fine and happy while cruising at 80 mph. I have not heard of any mods done on the Venture, but I may be wrong.

    Looking at the pics, I think it does put a little bit of stress on the tire. I am not sure how much of a stretch a tire can withstand and not compromise its integrity. It may very well be good for certain tires only.

    A fellow member gave this information to me and I have used it a couple of times to adjust my idle at the recommended RPM. It is also a must have, if you plan to synch your carbs. http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/esi325.html

    Chrome the stock ones may be a good option. I wonder how much it would cost:confused24:

    Don't worry. You still have a couple of days to think about it. I don't eat a lot of Turkey and may opt for Chicken breast and sweet potato (my favorite) and stuffing.

    I co-worker forwarded an article to me about that Yamaha...very high-tech and something that I'm gonna be very scared to try and ride.

    Sounds like a happy ending for the Venture.

    It was 27 degrees this morning and could not do anything outdoors around the house. Mother nature is telling us to be ready 'cause winter will be difficult to bear.
  19. N3FOL
    I agree. I only trust my eyes, when it comes to synching carbs on my Venture. If you really plan to keep your Venture for a long time, it is a must have in your garage. Peace of mind is priceless.
  20. N3FOL
    Me too. I wouldn't mind having another Venture next to my Venture.

    He must be eyeing the '09's that are coming out soon.

    Glad to hear that you are also enjoying cold morning rides. I ride to and from work with Gerbings plugged in and everything feels nice and comfy. Do keep an eye on black ice and take it easy...I take mostly main routes day or night.

    He is so cute...thanks for sharing your pics. This definitely calls for a nice ride to and from your grandson's house every time. Congratulations!

    Does not look like self-defense to me. He got his gone from the house and waited for the biker to pass by as he stood at the end of his driveway. He is in a big mess.

    What is good about the Odessey battery?
