I have a 2006 Royal Star Venture. Are there directions anywhere on VentureRider.org on how to do things like locate the oil drain plug, change the oil filter (tools to use), change the rear differential oil, location of the most common lube points, what viscosity of oil to use in the engine and what viscosity to use in the rear differential, how to get to and change the spark plugs (along with the spark plug gap), and anything else to do in a 8000 mile servicing. A service manual or a PDF file of a service manual would be handy, eh? Thanks, ToolmanRR ( ToolmanRR at Yahoo dot c o m )

Ever since I bought my bike in mid March it would "squeek" when I get off it or go to move it. Last night I decided to find this squeek and commenced removing the support/s/linkages for the rear shock. The nightmare begins..... the manual describes the process for removal, starting with side covers and mufflers (no problem:cool10: ).......on to the bolts (slight problem but nothing that an impact driver can't solve:smash2: )......next the pins/bushings on either side of the the main bolt that sits just under the shock (the one on the right side with the flat portion/threads = a little work but finally removed)......the pin on the left has nothing to grab on to (the kicker here is the manual shows a picture of it being removed with needlenose pliers = Not @!#$%^& likely:bang head: ) I must admit I finally got frusted enough to use visegrips in an attempt to grab it......well they worked with no ill effects. What a mess.....the pins bushing etc still had grease on them, the only problem was that it was so dry that it resembled something hard baked, they actually provided considerable resistance instead of lubrication. It would have been nice (although common sense would tell you) if the manual were to mention that the rear wheel will drop during the procedure ) The Dream begins.......... The squeek was located and removed (it was at the pivot point right by the centre stand . The ride to work this morning was utterly fantastic.....I've always affectionately called big bikes "couches" but mine sure felt like it this morning. -
I just recieved a paper service manual for an 09 RSTD for $30.00 to my door from Riggs Kwong manualwizard1970@yahoo.com TC:hurts:

Greetings! I'm trying to diagnose my charging system on a 99 RSV. I check the battery off the bike, and it reads 12.9V. I connect it to the bike with ignition of, it reads 12.9V. I turn on the ignition switch without starting the engine, it reads 12.3-12.4V. When I start the engine, it holds at 12.3V. When I take her to 5KRPM it hold at 12.3V which according to the ever knowledgeable service manual (I've learned my lesson about not reading the manual when troubleshooting...) is bad. It's supposed to be at or around 14V at that RPM range. So... I now know from that series of tests that my charging system isn't working. I've tested the resistance on my pickup coil, which reads .4 Ohm on both negative leads. The service manual says that it should be between .279 and .34. My Ohm meter is not that sensitive, and doesn't show me 1000ths; it only goes to 10ths. Is .4 significantly out of spec with the .274 to .34 range? I haven't tested the stator yet because I'm waiting for the gasket to come in so I can put it back together again the same day I take it apart. But given the cost of a new pickup coil (I'm looking at about $120USD from my local parts store) I'd hate to replace it only to find out that .06 Ohms is a nominal delta. Thanks!

Greetings all, While scouring through all the older posts for anything I could learn about my 84, I stumbled across this old post. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22081&page=3 I did download the manual that mbrood (Mike Brood) so kindly had posted on 6/12/08. It does contain some info that I could not find in the service manual. THANKS MIKE! We had around one half inch of SNOW this morning here in Madison, SD. No riding, still only 50 at 6:00 P.M. Take care all and ride safe. Dave

Does my '83 Venture have a tool kit? If so, where is it located? I don't see anything in the manual referring to it.

I went to the Clymer.com website for a repair manual. All I could find was a manual for the 1999 to 2003 Venture. I have a 2006 Venture. I have heard that nothing has really changed on the Venture. Will this manual be all right for my 2006? Thanks. Dennis

Ok Fellas, I'm working on an '86 with 38000 miles on it and we are checking the valve clearances. Now I have always checked for valve clearances with the lobes facing upward 180 degrees away from the valves. The manual, like everything Yamaha does, is complicated to say the least. I find when I measure it my way that all the clearances are good except the intakes on #2. How the manual states is to go by TDC and the lobes should be facing away from eachother. My issue with this is that the lobe is already starting to load up on the shim as I can't get the feeler gauge all the way through. I need some help for you boys in how you have done this and what you know...PLEASE -
Greetings all, I purchased a 1984 Venture a couple of weeks ago. I found this site to do some research on this bike as I knew very little about it. Thanks for the help! I lhad to trailer it from Sioux Falls, SD to my home in Madison, SD (50 miles) as it is WAY too cold to ride in March. My question is, does anyone of you knowledgable peole have an idea where I can get an owner's manual. The guy I bought my bike from did not have one. He did give me a service manual. Does the owner's manual have any info in it that the service manual does not? Looking forward to riding when it warms up. Dave

OK, I've got my rear wheel off to get the rotor turned and brake pads replaced. I'm planning on replacing the 6304 bearing , but I noticed that there's another bearing also. In the service manual, it's number is NK 26 x 35 x 25/3A. Is it neccessary for me to replace this one as well? My bike is an '84 VR with 71,000 miles. Thanks!

Hi Everyone, did some searching first but didn't find the answer so here I am. Opened up my repair manual and everything I've read out here said the same thing. The stator plug (3 wht wires) is behind the engine left side, manual said it was behind the side cover. It ain't there. I've looked just about everywhere I can look, got parts scattered and still no plug. Any thoughts? I'm thinking I've got a rectifier problem, I'm reading high voltage (about 17)at the battery, although it is new (Odessey and it came fully charged according to their specs) and it might possibly be charging up. I just want to check the stator windings too.

Has anyone bought the RepairPro RSTD Service Repair Manual? I see them on eBay (like this current one) and wonder how well done it is. I have that other eBay manual, the Yamaha Service Manual in PDF, and I don't like it. It lacks certain information I'd think would be covered (recommended oil grade and filter size?). I'm hoping this CD-based thing will be better. Is it?

The gear indicator on my 84 stopped working properly last summer. I checked all the wires coming from the transmission with my ohm meter and all are making a complete circuit. Now where is the doodad/gadget/thingamabob that I have to check to see if it's malfunctioning? I can't find it in my manual. Thanks, Bill

New to this bike. Just acquired. Been setting for 6 months. Bike won't start normally. Will start and run briefly with starting fluid in carb intakes. Doesn't have 12v. to fuel pump with key in "on" position. Don't have owner's manual, shop manual, etc....nothing to work with. Any troubleshooting tips appreciated. Any leads on wiring diagrams. Location of fuel pump fuze, etc. would be very helpful. tks -
From it I got answers to two questions, one of which seemed to be befuddling others. The location/position of the Cylinder Head Cover Plate (that was in the way of accessing the seat nut) ... According to this manual, it appears to be on the right rear cylinder and the lip is facing upwards at the rear, thus getting in the way of accessing the seat nut. The PO gave me this little bag with a very small allen wrench and screw...he said he had no idea what it was for. This manual explained that. Both above answers are on page 8 of the manual. EDIT... here I go, getting my left and right mixed up .... I meant to say LEFT above...am I right?

Recently acquired a 2009 Venture I had to wait several weeks on. Looked everywhere for a manual to read while waiting for delivery. Found it here: http://labs.trunkful.com/LIT-11626-16-15_18.pdf Slow server takes four or five minutes to download. (Moderators: please delete this if it's common knowledge and already been posted.)

Wondering if anyone has a owners manual for a 83 Venture standard they would want to sell?

I have recently developed a squeak in the rear suspension. I notice it mostly when getting off and on the bike,but it must be telling me something needs to be lubed. I dont have a service manual if someone can tell me what it need it would be very helpful

The bolt that holds the heel-toe shifter on my '06 RSTD rattled off and has been lost. Thanks to V7Goose, I got it field fixed using the spare bolt on the left hand fuse box cover. However, I want to replace it with an official bolt. I called the dealership today, who could not tell me what sort of bolt I should buy. Is it chromed? How long is it? The PDF I have of the service manual shows that it has a hex head and integrated washer, but doesn't really give me any other information. Does someone have information on this bolt? A description and a torque value would be handy.
