Replaced my stator with a high output one from Buckeye and all was well until yesterday morning I started it up and when I revved it up just a little I got a buzz (vibration) so I took the covers off again and the bolts are tight but I can still move the stator very little by hand so I am going to get some shorter bolts to see if that helps. Could not see any places where anything made contact. -
Wondering if this is 'normal'. At 75(speedo), 5th gear (or 65 speedo 4th gear), if you lay your hand on the tank (or squeeze with knees) I can feel a pretty good buzz. I can also feel it in the floorboards and the hand grips. The bike is an 06 rstd with 6,000 miles. New rear tire(E3). If I pull the clutch at speed the buzz completely dissappears, so I'm thinking it can't be tires...has to be engine. Also, If I am running a little slower in 5th...say about 65, gentle cruise, there is a light thumping/ticking in the passenger seat and backrest...it is not a fast as the buzz but faster than wheel spin. I know all about letting these engines rev, and have of course felt the heavy vibration/shaking when I try to do too much acceleration in 5th or 4th....the buzz isn't this....the pillion 'ticking' does seem to be at the same frequency as the lugging feeling you can get in too high a gear...but it is there even when holding at steady speed(just less pronounced). Have net yet tried sea-foam, new plugs or carb sync (don't know if PO did it before me either). Engine runs so well I did not think any of these was indicated....could be wrong though. Thanks for any help or suggestions. -

Hey folks, help me out here. You guys seem to be of a very savvy generation who might know how to revert back to the "good ol' days" with your technical know-how. I want to take a severe shortcut to set up turn signals on a very old Yammy that is devoid of any modern electrical components. I'd really like to put the required turn signals on it by simply going from the battery, through the handlebar switch, to the blinker can, and straight to the bulbs. Why wouldn't that work? I did it using motorcycle and auto 3-prong blinker cans and all I get is a buzz and too much heat in the heavy duty wires. However, the proper lights will shine when the turn signal switch is moved left or right, but no blink. Just the buzz and heat. What do you think gives here other than me being a complete idiot who does not deserve my sweet little '85 VR? -
On the Venture, what are indications that you need to synch up the carbs? On the VStar, you can easily tell by the mirror buzz etc.. Right now on the 06 Venture, I get mirror buzz on either side depending on speed/revs.. and when in 5th gear and going roughly 55-65 mph the bike feels 'bumpy'.. not like it's lugging or underpowered.. but certainly isn't smooth.. Would this be an indication of the carbs needing to be synchronized? Cheers

I am new to the Venture have only put a few hundred miles on it, I have a vibration that starts about 65 mph and gets worse up to 75 that makes the bike almost buzz like they did 30 years ago is this normal? Mine is a 2006 w/5000 miles on it and the vibe goes away if I pull in the clutch and let it coast so it must be engine or drive train related. I also just switched to straight synthetic oil abut 300 miles ago, this really quieted it down but now I have noticed this vibe beginning and it seems to be rpm related. Any ideas?

Hi all! Got my RSTD back from it's check-up (clutch basket not in yet so it will have to go back later) and it's CB install. Question/Problem is this: Sounds like I have an nest of angry bees in my helmet that increase with RPM'S and speed. This is one of the J&M new ones that does the NOAA weather and all. It works great other than that annoying,very loud buzz. This was a dealer install so what do I tell the guys when I go back for my clutch basket change? Do I need a filter somewhere or what? Thanks in advance again for all your help! Ride safe, Becky -
