No real difference in a 99 and a 13.. mine is a 99... gave $2700 for it... 37k miles... cheaper insurance... cheaper property taxes...
Tell me one thing that makes a 2010 or newer better than my 99...
In my opinion that's why yamaha couldn't move new Venture bikes... what's the point to pay 14k for a bike that I can buy on craigslist for $4500...
Finally got the shaft connected.. with the use of finger hole and camera. Decided to post video just in case someone wanted to see inside.
This is drive shaft....

While I was doing the new tire on the rear.. U decided to try to clean my rear wheel... nothing worked so I wet sanded it using 1500 grit paper... cleaned it up decently.. but then I decided the final gear drive looked terrible.. so I put some Amsoil Heavy Duty MP Spray on it... wiped it off while wet and the results were amazing. I then used it on wheel and whole drive shaft... I have the silver color back. I don't think a brillo pad or anything else could come close to what this stuff did... plus I think it will protect it from rust and make it easier to clean in the future.. so 3 thumbs up for this stuff.
I kinda disagree... $4500 with the miles... and I would suggest listing it with other keywords like goldwing, harley, voyager... etc. Very few people know about the Venture.
Plus the 99 is basically a 2013...
Go ahead and put an aftermarket like I did... Kenwood deck with bluetooth pandora and usb...
Just installed a kenwood excelon amp 50x4.
JBL 4" up front
Polk 4" in rear
Still have intercom and cb capabilities with helmet.
Been a customer for 10 plus years... Recruited family to drop Dishnetwork for DirecTV in the past. But since this ATT merger- DirecTV is awful. Prices keep going up.. and just not happy.
GoodBYE DirecTV!! I will find things to do with my $130 every month.
Update... checked Rectifier wiring.. and sure enough one of the wires had come off.. Really two.. So I guess when it shifted into gear it was enough to lose contact. Weird but fixed for now.. I have a lot of probs with this charging system.. but it is now charging at 13.4 at idle and about 14.1 at 3k rpms..
We shall see how long it lasts this time..
All fuses are good..
I wonder if a bad neutral switch could cause all of this??
The cruise light will light up but then disappear after 2-3 seconds...
Is their anything that controls some of this that could have melted or burnt up...??
Need some thoughts.. bike charges when in neutral.. my neutral light doesn't work.. when changing the neutral bulb wires sparked... nor sure what I blew but I'm guessing it's having an effect... Anyone have any ideas..
These are the things that font work...
NEUTRAL light
Cruise control
Fuel gauge flashes at both ends
No one mentioned the drivers floorboard... those are kuryakyn also and will fit the venture.. they are listed for vstar and other yamahas... eBay $80..
