Alright, I'm baffled. This is on a Venture with a Vmax Engine in it (at least from the cylinder block up it is). It's running pig rich at idle and low rpms. Will run a couple days and then cabon fouls the plugs. I tried to adjust the idle fuel screws and discovered that they had no effect if...

I wasn't sure where this thread should go since it's not a VMax, but it has VMAx parts so this seems like the right spot. I'll take a chance and post it here and a mod can move it if needed. Last year, I found myself facing forced retirement (26 years of military SAR tends to beat you up...

I have a 1200 Venture and I'm in the process of doing a 17" radial swap. I'm grafting the venture center hub in to a ZX7 rim and am at the very early stages. Unlike most Venture touring bikes, mine spends a fair amount of time on twisty fast roads and I like draggin' aluminum and steel in the...

Seen here as a test mule but very close to final form, drawing heavily on the revolutionary 1983 Venture touring model and the awesomely powerful 1700 Vmax, Yamaha engineers have created a new model and new "Power Touring" market. Enter; The TourMax! Details are limited at this point...

Bear with me here as this engine is going in to a 1st Generation Venture, not a VMax. My current plans were to take the VMax heads and plop them down on my 1983 Venture, drop in a 2002 transmission and a VMax final drive and call it done. But I have a few "opportunities" pop up recently and...

So, I'm building up my 83 Venture. Part of it is installing VMax cylinder heads. But I'm trying for a "stealth install", trying to keep it looking as much like a Venture as possible. It's pretty much an unmolested survivor (31,000 KMs/19,000 miles) and I'd like to keep that look, at least...
