    Joe Your bike came out of the factory with 28mm carbs. That does not mean that some previous owner could not have swapped the carbs out to 32mm from a Venture, but it would require some sort of adapter plate to make them mount up. By comparing the parts diagrams avaialabe on line to what you have, you should be able to tell pretty quickly if someone has added an adapter plate the convert to 32 mm carbs. If you are certian that the carbs have not been swapped out then you have 28mm carbs. I hope this helps to clear up your confusion.

    They (Yamaha) replaced both the driver and passenger seats for me about 2 months before my warrenty ran out on my 07. Dealer initially expected Yamaha to to take the position of "Normal wear and tear" but they submitted any ways and it went right thru, in my opinion the seats should be covered as long as there is no evidence that they were cut by a tool or something. Speakers, that could be tough, but if it just one you could argue that if they say it is due to cranking the volume so high that the speaker blew, I would ask why the other 3 are not blown, the volume is not specific to individual speakers or channels (left / right). Good luck, keep us informed on how you make out.

    The assembly manual says there should be no weight on the bike, the owner's manual on my 98 Royal Star TC said to lift the front tire off the ground. I normally set my pressure to 7 psi when the front tire is on the ground.

    If you have not spent much time in Florida and you are thinking of living here year round I would suggest you visit for a few weeks in the summer so you you can get a taste of the heat and humidity, you may not like it, I don't. In the summer the Atlantic coast is some what cooler that the Gulf coast and a lot cooler that the interior of the state. The interior (Gainesville south to Brooksville) will offer the best riding. If I were going to live in a manufactured home in Florida I would not do it with in 40 miles of either coast because of the hurricanes. There is a nice retirement area north of Leesburg called the Villages, but I think those are conventional structures.

    Have you thought about the Dunlop E3s, I am running those on my 07, have about 13,500 miles on them now and still have plenty of tread left. They handle well and have no issues with cracks or chunking, wet roads , like we ever have those in Florida, are no problem, traction is always good with the E3s.

    Gary, This is not apples to apples as far as your question, because they used a standard Royal Star not a Venture to start with and they used a V-max engine, but essenntially that is what you will have when you are done. http://www.best-motorcycle.com/yamaha/neutron-star.shtm Good luck.

    Try NADA, http://www.nadaguides.com/Motorcycles/Motorcycles, they tend to be a bit higher than KBB, I generally tend to split the difference between the two.

    Is that the correct weight blinker fluid for water cooled blinkers or is it only good for air cooled ones?

    If you are going to add a trailer harness for your bike , consider using one of the plug and play harnesses I have for sale on the classified page. Will make connecting a lot easier. http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=4200&title=auxillary-tail-light-harness-for-royal-star-venture&cat=35

    Midnight venture may have something there I completely missed that detail. Could be the shock. Check the boot around the shock and the bottom of the shock to see if it is wet.

    My 07 does that if I do long high speed runs on the Interstate, it is just blow by. You can pull the secondary air box under the tank where the vent tube is connected and wipe out the excess oil that has collected, that will stop the oil spots.
  23. M61A1MECH
    I all ways pull the tank completely off. There is one electrical connection and a rubber vent hose under the plastic cowl that is around the ignition switch. Make sure you turn the petcock to off before you pull the fuel line, (do not ask ).

    I always pull the tank just to be sure I do not ding it with a tool. On my Venture I pull the front dog bone struts also, those I pull one at a time just to be sure the motor does not shift, I am not sure if it would with both dog bones out or not, but why take the chance, I can only work on one plug at a time so there is no reason to have both off at the same time.

    I have not heard any reports of the fan brackets breaking on the Ventures, but it was pretty common on the first edition Royal Stars. You may want to make sure the support brackets are intact.
