I bought some nice oversize (+5mm dia.) rubberized wheels for mine. Be aware that these have wider bearings which will force you to have your aluminum spacers machined. I machined my own down as I work in the tool and die industry.

I only know of 3 for sure: 1)Clutch rattle 2)TORS (CDI box replacement) 3)Seconday Shaft (Jackshaft) There is a lot of talk about track noise and hyfax wear but I personally know of no other bulletins. Best of luck.

I heard (see: rumor) the it was released Nov 16-19. Just something I heard.

I dropped my machine off last night for replacement of the torsion springs. While I was there I asked the service guy to run my VIN for bulletins. He said the jackshaft came up and they would take care of it. (Other items had been fixed already-clutch/CDI box) I asked how they did on Warr...

Mine is 002800 so it looks like I fall in the catagory. Just called the dealer after your very helpful post Tabor. They are running my numbers as of this writing. Thanks all.

I had to machine my aluminum spacers too. Wheels fit in great after that. (RS Venture)

I was worried about the hitch that attaches to the frame as I might be towing my Polaris and A/C buddies alot. I bought the Yamaha steel frame bumper with the hitch and it works very well.

With the 2-Up Venture there is a 'Coarse' adjustment block that goes from 1Up to 2Up. Also the usual S-M-H spring block and the shock adjustment. I can ride the machine by myself at all settings on 1Up and medium with no issues. When you add a passenger to the back (added weight and position...

I just got off the phone with Yamaha. After 6 mos. of phone calls, being on hold and a lot of patience, I got a customer service rep. that was very helpful (Ian). He stated that my dealer was supposed to make a judgement as to which set of springs would best suit my needs. (he means total...

I went a little 'luggage nuts' because I ride both 1 and 2 up for long periods and change the configuration to suit my needs. Yammie sells a neat bag that fits in the space left when you take out the back seat. This is pleanty big for solo cruising. Also bought the rear rack bag for 2-up. Not...

I bought the "Parts Unlimited" windshield bag and I am very happy with it. I am not sure how the yammie one is set up but the P/U one has 2 long pieces of velcro that do not stick in the cold. (only bad point on the bag) What I did was remove the two 'dashboard' screws under the windsield, get...

Hi All, I keep seeing mentions of jackshafts bending or breaking on several posts. Is this something I need to worry about as I have the first Venture my dealer assembled. Is this another part replaced by Yamaha? If not what is the cost for a stronger one? Will mine break while I am in the...

Ground Blizz is right. If you live far from your dealer then push the issue. (start up the machine and say-"why is the clutch rattling?") If your dealer is close, I suggest riding this season and having them fix the issues when you bring it in for you first free service checkup.

Bought a 12' SnoPro to haul mine.

TORS is the electronic device that stops the sled if the throttle freezes open. It is a recall/warranty issue and is fixed by your dealer replacing the CDI (ignition) box. Clutch rattle is annoying at idle and is fixed with an o-ring kit also done by dealer under warr. The dealer should know...

I have only 1056 miles on my '05 RS Venture and have much the same story. Quiet at decent speed but defening at around 40 mph. Seemed to get much worse as my hyfax wore down. I burned up my new ones (hyfax) about 2/3 on their first season. Installed new ones a week ago and also installed...

Hi, I bought my Venture last year, hope this helps. The pull pin I think you are referring to is for the 1UP-2UP coarse white adjustment block. (The pins look like a '?') If so, yes this is supposed to spring straight back into one of two holes depending on your setting. It should not be...

It hard failed. No continuity between poles as needed. Under warranty so a new one is on the way. Please be aware that the passenger handgrips need 3000 or higher RPM to activate as the coil cannot produce enough juice to power them below that.

Anyone else have one of these go on them?

I am in the process of replacing my stock wheels with rubberized 5mm oversize wheels. Supposed to be a smoother ride and reduce excessive hyfax wear.
