  1. This is the tool you need:

     

    K&L Supply 35-3462

     

     

    Their picture is wrong. They copied the image from the K&L catalog and got 2 tools. The 35-3462 is the one on the right.

     

    Micarl that's funny because that is what I ordered and was under the impression I was going to get both tools. They sent me only the one on the left the flat K&L tool and I have no idea if that's going to work or not. Think I've came to the conclusion that Yamaha has stopped making the J tool, part number MY-33961 I ordered that tool (MY-33961) on two different sites and both cancel my orders and told me that tool has been discontinued.

  2. Thanks everyone we did check out the site Frank mentioned above... I'm not sure that it will work because it has a different Yamaha part number.. but I may take that chance and ordered it anyways it does look the same I don't quite understand why the Yamaha part number is different. The Yamaha part number in the book is YM-33961 the one on the site Yamaha part number is..

    Yamaha VMAX XVZ12 XVZ13 Venture V-MAX Valve Shim Tool YM-04105 .. but they do look the same.

     

    I allso see on there sight that the tool is not compatible with my 2002 XVZ13TF

  4. This is Al Bates Toms brother. We are having a very difficult time locating a Yamaha Valve adjusting tool part number YM-33961 we have placed two separate orders and both orders had cancelled. If anyone has one laying around in there tool box and would like to sell it or lend it to us we would greatly appreciate it, please send us a p.m.

     

    Thank You

  5. Find the stator flat connector with 3 white wires on the left side. The voltage between each of the 3 pins should read at least 55-60 VAC and could be up to 100 VAC. The important thing is they should all be relatively the same within that range. If the stator voltage looks OK then the problem will be with the R/R... or between the R/R and the battery.

     

     

    I appreciate the info and I'm going to check the voltage thanks again your information is very useful .

  6. Since this sounds like 101 stuff. Does that battery go down while you are riding it or only when parked? I got caught a couple of times because the RSV ignition switch is off | acc | on. If you turn the key off just one position to the left it, shuts off the bike but continues to power the radio, cb etc., there are no dash lights lit so it's easy to walk away and come back to a dead battery. I added an LED to the fairing so I know the key is still in accessory position. Serves as a reminder when I am charging a helmet or phone at the campground. The LED is kind of bright and lit in both ACC and On position. I think I can move the (LED ground) to a lighting circuit so it will only light in ACC position. I will mess with that the next time I pull the fairing (new steering bearings are here).

     

     

    It only runs down when I'm riding it I can let it set for a week after charging the battery and it will start right up. If I ride it for like 50 miles it will run the battery all the way down tell there's nothing left in the battery .

  7. I have a venture 2004 50,000 miles when I run my bike my lights radio everything works just fine but after a while my battery runs all the way down I replace the battery twice and I'm still having the same problem it's like my battery is not taking a charge from the bike I wire brush the terminals and the connections are good and the fuses is good .Can anybody please help me with this problem.

  8. With only 11k miles I wouldn't have thought your steering would have loosened up but it could. What are the condition of your tires? Are they the original tires or new ones? Often tire condition will translate into how your steering feels. Front or rear can make for a bit of a loose feel if there is some cupping and that can be hard to see sometimes. That's been my experience anyway. If you have a lift, follow the info in the tech area and see if the steering feels loose.

    Cheers

     

     

    I just replaced my tires 3 thousand miles ago and that made a world of difference from the original one.
