I run about 40 in the rear shocks and usually 0 in the front. I had a 6 CD changer in the left saddle bag that I removed to balance out the bike. This helped some but as time went on the wobble got worse. Reading many threads about this I have tried so many different home remedies that have done nothing. I must have done something bad in a previous life to get both the bad wobble and the very loud clutch whine.

Well, I took my bike into the dealer to have the clutch whine checked out and hopefully have it covered under warranty. After the dealer had it for 5 days they called me back and told me that Yamaha won't replace the clutch basket. Hearing this and reading the prior threads on the forum I called Yamaha customer service. In short, they are doing NOTHING to help me out. I even said to them, "So let me get this right, Yamaha's position is to do nothing in this situation - even though the company has paid to have this situation addressed previously." The customer service person agreed with my statement. Between the clutch whine and the HORRIBLE wobble in the front end (the dealer stated everything was tight and up to specs - even the tire balanced out perfectly) my enjoyment of riding this bike is going south very fast. Just a B*%&H sesstion here. Hope everyone's Venture is whine and wobble free.
