    RS Venture TF starting issues

    I have a 2010 RS Venture TF with intermittent starting issues. On occasion, l turn the key as usual to let the fuel pump cycle up and it does so as expected but then when l turn the key to start, l just get a click. This was happening last season and l could get it to start by lifting the...

    Code 85 - Oil Pressure switch

    I have a code 85 showing on my Venture Lite. It came on first and then went away after being parked o'nite but now it seems to be back to stay. I checked the usual culprit with it being unplugged and that is okay, and the wiring that I can see seems okay so I'm suspecting that the switch...

    RS Venture TF (clutching to reduce engine braking)

    I've switched my stock primary PPP spring to YPY to help reduce engine braking and give it smoother engagement - which it does. Although there is not a whole lot of difference in the engagement RPM's as it seemed to have had fairly low engagement anyways but it is smoother now especially on the...

    Reverse beeper sounding while not in reverse

    This started to happen today without even having the sled in reverse. Started it up and heard a faint beeping noise and it seems like the reverse beeper is not functioning properly. It got even louder later during my ride but would get quieter after putting it in rev and then back in fwd but...

    Ski shock measurement for VL/MP

    I need to replace my ski shock and I'm looking for cheaper options such as Royal Dist. I can get the fully extended length = 14.25" but I need the spring off to measure the closed length. Does anyone know that measurement or any tricks for removing the spring w/o a proper tool? thanks...

    Light troubles??

    Hi, I have a 2010 Venture TF and rode yesterday with no light problems. Today when I started it there was no headlight or taillight. Any idea if this is a common problem and what the likely causes could be? thanks

    Front suspension geometry

    Saw this on the Yamaha (US) site under the RS Venture GT/TF sleds and wondered if it is new and if anyone knows what the change is? •Front suspension geometry The new 15mm trail offset on the ski mount helps minimize inside ski lift due to centrifugal force during turns. And, by optimizing...

    Exhaust donuts

    Currently in the process of installing new copper exhaust donuts on my V Lite (~16,000KM) Here's a few observations and questions: - The heat wrap on top of the flex joint has completely disintegrated - any suggestions what I can use now? I'm thinking about cutting a piece of regular...

    2010 Venture TF - Ride impressions

    First ride on my 2010 Venture TF and a couple of pics. Some impressions: (1) Not as tippy as I expected from reading on here but I will make the recommended softer suspension adjustments to make it more stable. Maybe where I'm used to the Venture Lite being somewhat tippy there was no big...

    Yamaha accessory bumper

    Anyone try this style bumper on a RS Venture GT or TF? If so, did it fit okay? I'm asking because on Yamaha Canada's website it is only listed for the Apex but Port Yamaha shows it as fitting the RS Venture models as well. http://yamaha-motor.ca/products/details ... item=4869&

    Snow trackers - semi or aggressive

    I'm planning on putting snow trackers on my 2010 RS Venture TF and would like some input on whether the aggressive or semi-aggressive would be best? I do mostly two-up trail riding in twisty trails. BTW, besides longer carbides (7.5 vs 6") on the aggressive ones, are there any other...

    Venture TF vs Venture Lite

    Wondering if anyone has had a chance to ride both sleds and what the comparisons are? I'm asking because I currently have the VL and may upgrade to the TF as there is a deal available that is almost too good to refuse on an unused 2010 TF. Besides comparing with the VL, if anyone has the TF...

    Coolant Bleeding

    Could someone post up a how to or a link on bleeding the coolant system on the Phazer/Venture Lite? I've been seeing the temperature light come on this year and it never did before so I want to bleed the system as a first attempt to try and solve this. I noticed that the coolant is about 3/4"...

    Foot pegs removed

    I had planned on removing the foot peg/stirrups from my VL for awhile but did not like the idea of having to cut them off. I was also concerned that it may affect the rigidity of the running boards. Anyway I did it with the thought that if I had to put them back I would use a plate, etc to...

    TORS testing as per manual

    Tested my TORS as per the instructions in the owners manual and it seemed to work, i.e. the RPMs were limited. But then it showed code 84 and the warning light was on. Does that mean the TORS is not functioning properly? The code went away when I shut it off and restarted. thanks,

    Upper Nytro A-arm

    Wondering if anyone knows if the upper A-arms from a 09 Nytro would fit an 08 Venture Lite? The part #s are different but I didn't know if that may be due to the ball joints being different - seems like they are shown with the joints included. My reason for asking is that mine are tweaked and...
