Slowly making progress on the 85, carbs are off getting rebuilt, got the fuel tank drained and flushed today, started to work on the clutch hydraulics. Was BONE dry, by the time I got it cleaned out and fluid through the system, had a nice leak at the slave cylinder, not unexpected for a bike...

I've got the carbs off my 85 and have them sent off for a good cleaning, but I've got a lead on a set of 86 Venture carbs cheap. I'm afraid my 85 carbs might need a diaphram or two, are the Venture diaphrams exactly the same? Other than the jet sizes, are the carbs directly interchangeable...

Hi, What do you think about my dyno? It's the best result - i remove stage 7 (at stage 7 i has about 97 hp) Vmax '90 engine 2006 venture, venture transmission, vmax cams and heads carb-stock exhaust-supertrapp It was europe ver, now with v-boost. I don't know if cams from europe are diffrerent...

Gday all. It's been a while since I've said hi daily, but work/family/house, you know how it goes. I'm finally getting around to the 2nd gear jump deal, engine will be stripped tommorrow hopefully, getting ready for next season's racing.....in between work/family/house! And yes, back-cuts, etc...

Was drawn to his bike out of a pack of Harleys. Walk over to the most interesting bike to me and what do you know, it is a Yamaha V4... hahaha.... Had a great chat with him. Liked his bike a lot. He said "it's a pig until 8500rpms and then it really goes." I told him I didn't have enough...

I have a 1985 VMax and I keep hearing about swapping for a Venture differential to lower revs at highway cruising speeds. Is there any particular year of Venture I should look for (or avoid)?:ummm: Also, how much rpm change does this make at, say, 60 mph?

Pretty sure I'm going to buy it... http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/mcy/2373076604.html

Which is the superior chassis, the venture or the vmax? Same power, same everything, except I guess the suspension.

Below is side picture of my 83 Venture. I would like to try a set of VMax exhausts on it to see if it helps power. Fairly sure the rear crash bars may need to go , but I don't want to take off side bags. Bike has a center stand I could loose if I had to. What do you guys think, you know your...

does the ventrue starter fit the vmax? I am after a 4 brush to replace my 2 brush motor

Hey guys, not sure where to post this, but my local bike shops owner has a yamaha venture he wants to part out, Not sure of the year. But i know some parts are will work on the vmax:biglaugh:. So i thought id post up and see if there are any interests and what parts are innerchangable??? Im...

I have been running a Venture differential now for a month or so and figured I should share my thoughts on it. First off, it was a pretty easy swap for a quick gearing change. It is not a huge difference, but I noticed it even in first gear which surprised me. I loaded up the bike and my wife to...

I have a Venture rear drive on my Max. I put it on last spring because I busted the Vmax pinion gear. Thought I might as well upgrade as long as it had to be replaced. It is nice for highway cruising. I find myself running in 4th at times, delighted to find another gear there. BUT, I like the...

Quick question. In the process of swapping out my Vmax diff for a Venture diff. The Venture diff I bought came with the drive line still in place. Do I need to swap the drive line from the Vmax to the Venture diff? I measured them both and it looks like the Venture line is a 1/4" longer. I'm not...

I was looking around the local cycle shop today. Looked at the worrier.. Nice lookin V2 cruiser. And found a V4 royal star tour deluxe 'harley lookalike'. Is that the same engine block as the Vmax?:ummm: :punk:

I found a chromed venture diff and was wondering what the average used price would be around. Or what you might have, or would pay for a chrome venture diff. Thanks

Hi folks: Would the rear final drive from a 1999 Venture Royal Star XVZ1300 be useable on my '89 Max? I'm looking at one on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370353710275&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Thanks muchly. Elimax

Does anyone offer a kit with the venture pumpkin? Or do you have to find a parted out 86 - 93 venture? Thanks

Hey, does anyone know if the venture driveshaft is the same as a '92 max driveshaft? I have a venture parts bike (whats left of it) I want to extend swingarm on my vmax but want to be able to switch back if original if i need to. Thanks in advance Russ

So yesterday a set of carbs came in from Mr. Morley to install on my buddies '87 Venture and this is what it looked like when it came out of the box... :damn angry: Damn USPS! I'm pretty sure that this is where in the box we had the issue. My buddy, Bill was surprised they were damaged as...
