I have the same 2009 Venture GT, new to me this year with 1400KMs, basically brand new, just broken in! 1st ride was scarey.... machine was tippy and uncontrollable (probably why the lady sold it!). I, 1st, softened the ski spring preload as well as the skid shock spring until they(springs) were...
Just went out to check for you.... 9/16"s, (14mm) on my 09 GT. I added a cheap mount but it fit a 1" bar. Wrapped some rubber strapping to make up the difference... worked well. Make sure you use proper rubber strapping, it will create some 'friction' when compressed.

Ahh.. thank you! The venture and the venture GT are, as you stated, entirely different sleds! My confusion started with (being a new owner) doing multiple readings/stats/reviews and am now seeing the differences! The GT does not come with the blocks... the shocks on the GT have more dial...
'Newbe' to Yamaha... I now own an almost new 2009 RS Venture GT(1400kms) and am having a hard time finding this "1up,2up adjustment block". I've searched many threads to no avail! Could someone please tell me where to locate this/these blocks? Or, even better, provide a pic?? I've read the...
