Hi Joe Walmach, it's been a year since you bought your Royal Star Venture. Do you still have it and if you do Hows it been doing for you. I to have an 07 Venture, I've had it a year and two months. although i had to replace the Axle Gear Case Assy, which the previous owner didn't keep the gear oil and components properly oiled and greased like he was supposed to. I didn't realize it was that bad until it started whining and popping and knew there was something wrong. since the new part it's been a great bike. was wondering if you've had any trouble with yours since you've owned it.

Mike Collings thanks for watching also there's other video's on my channel if you like to watch them. Also subscribe for future video's.

If you ride a bike and have the space you need a lift.

Jeff Gill yea I also have a yamaha vstar 1100 cruiser retired this bike from long rides to just local rides. know I use my venture for long rides wife enjoys the back seat and it's just more relaxing ride on it..

Yes I agree every bike oil filter is in a different location just like the vstar 1100 you mentioned the filter is internal by the exhaust pipes. The exhaust pipes needs to be loosen up and moved over to the side or install a relocation oil kit on the vstar 1100.

Phillip Vazquez thanks and have also a great weekend too.

Kenny BrewBros regular oil change every 3000. Synthetic oil change at 5000 miles

Factory oil weight should be 10/40

Richard Ortiz look at ebay they have one for under 30.00 by cylmar.

Richard Ortiz also thanks for watching and subscribing more videos on the way

jay morris yes I use 20 / 50 synthetic oil. The difference between the 10 / 40 synthetic and the 20 / 50 synthetic oil is the viscosity thickness of the oil. Basically if you have a brand new bike you'll want to use the 10 / 30 synthetic oil weight is more thinner so it flow faster thru a new engine. Now the 20 / 50 synthetic oil weight is more thicker oil and it's used on older motors it flows and seals better on older motor if your motor has higher mileage or 10 years older like mine use the higher viscosity. Thanks for watching and commenting also subscribed for future helping videos.

I run Rotella 15w40 in my 07 Royal Star tour deluxe, and it does good. The RSTD is essentially the same bike without the fairing, radio, and tour pack. Same motor and transmission. Alot of guys run it.

I would first check air filter for dirtiness, also check for air leaks around rubber hoses and caps around carburetor or check air intake manifold for cracks may be leaking also.

Lynn Yoder the yamaha royal star venture only has the glass for checking the oil level. Not like the newer bike has dip stick under the seat. Thanks for viewing and commenting if you like subscribe to the channel for new videos uploads it free.

Jeff Gill yep that nexxon car tire just under 10000 miles and still looking good. going to be adding additional 7500 mile on it on and upcoming ride.

So, how does this affect the steering? Any unusual behavior when cornering?

Yamaha XVZ1300 Observations if your talking about the car tire on my bike it's awesome on corners and straight roads. I ride 2up all the time.

Also, what tire size did you install??

Yamaha XVZ1300 Observations nexxon 165 - 80 - 15

You could do that also level your bike and leave it over night draining out the old oil.

@@franklisatravels9651 Kickstand on a 2x4 and a bit. Jackstand under the Hwy Peg adapter. Bike level and won't go over. For draining and filling. Also loosen/remove oil filler cap when draining; better flow. And lay newspaper/cardboard down when changing oil: always.

Michael Owens I've heard on some venture's original clutch start slipping around 17,000 to about 25,000 miles. Also when your rpms are getting higher then 2000 around 70 miles that's your first clue that your clutch is starting to go bad and needs replacement. You can watch my video on replacing your clutch. I use Castrol synthetic 20/50 and always change at 5000 miles all the time. Thanks for your comment and hope that will help you.

@@franklisatravels9651 reds is a great oil. I have over 41k on mine and my clutch and is fine but my peg is a little looks so i just gotta tightenr back up

kurupt1 I always use Castrol 20/50 synthetic oil and change every 5000 miles.

15-40 t4 non synthetic Rotella is another good option that's been out there for the RSV. No issues for me

Correct this is the only oil I use for my 3 bikes I have works great.

Rotella T4 will never do you wrong.

@@franklisatravels9651 Thanks that works great

Have the same bike as you and I use Lucas Oil Semi-Synthetic that costs $7/quart at O'Reilly. Works great and seems to really help with the whine our engines make from the straight cut gears.

Jaso-ma certified/approved

Phillip Vazquez well first you could check the air pressure on the back shock and see if it holds air pressure. Never add air with a air compressor you will blow your shock seals and that will cost over $ 400.00 to replace. On the right side of the bike between the rider seat and the right side yard bag there should have a air inlet looks like the tire type. You could only use a airshock pump to add air.. ( never never use a air compressor to add air.)

Frank & Lisa Travels is going to the gas station to get air is that ok or is that what you was talking about I never was told if that's the problem

Frank & Lisa Travels all I did was fill the tires with air

Yea that's what I'm talking about never use gas station air compressor. You have to use like a bicycle air pump or buy an shock air pump on ebay.

Frank & Lisa Travels ok but I'm not sure what it holds

For the last ten years.

Yea it's little to high thanks

Yes I do get me about a good 65,000 miles on it.

Would you be so kind to tell me the brand an tire size? Is it that noticeable of a difference in handling

the music could be like 10 db lower, or maybe 50 and it would be better

Yes i am

@@franklisatravels9651 I have a couple friends who darkside on their VTX 1800's. I'm still thinking about it on my 05 RSTD. Just changed my oil, went with Rotella T6 20-40 synthetic diesel oil, but it is JASO MA and MA2 rated.
