Anyone know where to get a decent gas cap cover at a reasonable price? I just want a black or blue cover to stop sun glare , without spending a 100 bucks.

Now that's it been a cpl years, anyone know how yamaha sales have been for the new venture? I know everyone I talk to that loves the 4cl liquid cooled . Does not like the new ones

that's what I was thinking, couldn't find anything on the web site about where the parts come from and for 1/3 the price of oem i figured it was the Chinese crap. Thanks

Ya i do but i prefer to just replace with oem and not worry about it again

has anyone dealt with this company? the fuel pump factory. i was looking around for a fuel pump for my 2011 rsv and came across this co says a direct replacement for 75.00. they have good reviews , but i,m always Leary of anything other than OEM

oop should have stated that i have 2011 rsv now. and no to barnett still oem clutch. everything is running great, just thinking about down the road if arthritis gets worse

anyone know if yamaha or anybody making a a&s clutch anymore? (assist and slip) my left hand is getting old and clutch is hard to pull in after riding all day.. i seem to remember reading yamaha used to sell a a&s clutch kit . had softer springs and would slip automaticaly if down shifted to much..

i can't find the post, but is the one who made the aluminum block adapter to move light bar out from faring still selling? or anyone know where to find one?

yes thanks it is for my 2011 havent changed the profile ..

anyone bought or know of a aftermarket light bar that matches yamaha original ? as you know yamaha discontinued theirs and can't find a original for my 2011 rsv..

does anyone remember someone was installing or making kits of gauges that fit into that slot where cass, deck is? i swear i seen something like that but now i can,t remember where

i was just reading a review on these. they not only cool but dehumidify ,so even on cool days they will stop the fogging of sheild. and they are not much heavier than standard helmets. because of plugging into bikes electric,so no need for battery in helmet. but they said it does draw a lot, so you will need a beafy altenator. but they just came out so im sure they will get better with more options soon.

i have beanie helmet i use most

does anyone know where to get a set of headsets for short money? i want to try them out for a while before i spend 100 plus for new ones i not sure if i will use them a lot or if they even work on my 2011 rsv. i just bought the bike and it didnt have the headset. i havent seen any used ones on ebay or anywhere.

what would cause small backfires when decelerating ? this is a new to me 2011 rsv and im wondering if its normal, its' not lound or bad flame shooting back fires but it never happened on my 83 rsv.

yes thanks that the one i'm looking for .

i give. how does the seat come off . just picked up a 2011 venture love it but cant seem to see how seat comes off oh never mind just found it 2 10mm nuts hiden under front part of rider seat

anyone know where i can get original factory keys or key blanks with the yamaha plastic heads for a 2011 rsv? i have one original but locksmiths around me only have regular plain blanks

hey all looking at a 2011 rsv 9400 miles very clean not even a scratch asking 8700 dollars. what are your thoughts? one thing on left saddle bag is a wire connecter not anything to connect to . is that where cb box supposed to be?

all of a sudden the warning icon came on and red light flashing while I was riding but did not kill engine. every thing is normal except warning comes on and off intermittently, when I got home tried the stand and all works as it should shuts it down when in gear and I put stand down,etc and icon/warning light goes off when put up. but start riding and warning start coming on and off . any ideas what could cause this a short in dash? or wire shorting some where? 1983 venture

ok what happened out for a nice cruise stopped for dinner then left restaurant and could not shift past 3rd shifter would go up but nothing happen. it has been loud clunk when I shifted before but now none 1.2.3 are fine but nothing after. any ideas and if you know what I could expect it cost, cause ill have to have my mechanic do work I have no room at my house . lucky I was only hour away from home so I drove it back roads in 3rd for long ride home

thanks guys

anyone know if someone is still making those studs that screw on the upper handlebar to mount your cupholder or gps mounts to.? I know ive seen them before but can't remember who was making them. or if there is some place to get them. I don't have access to a metal lathe

well been waiting as long as I can. has anyone heard anything about a 2016 venture? or was It all just hype from Yamaha. guess ill have to look at Honda gw. or Kawasaki is looking pretty promising too

just took it out for short ride and parked it for 15 min and came out found puddle of coolant under mid engine, followed it to small hole under (water pump?) housing right side of engine. does this mean water pump is gone? 1983 venture
