I feel there must be a trick or technique to this. I removed front engine mount bolts and right front engine mount and loosened rear long engine mount bolt about 3/4 turn to tilt the engine for the infamous starter job. I am now reassembling, and I started by tightening front two engine mount...

Have not found a clear answer on this, and really don't want to screw something up! I have 10 month old gas (with ethanol) in carbs- I want to drain it before bringing it back to life (I know I should clean carbs but see if it runs first?) Please verify that allen screw on left is to be turned...

I have the smaller access hole (but I don't think this is the problem, starter came out after an hour, can't get new one in!!!! I can get it in- straight up but then it jams- metal on metal. Blue strap is to compress/pull the hose :-( I can get it horizontal, below the engine ridge but I cant...

2013 144" track: all studs down the middle Overall rubber very good condition but there are threads showing, sometimes across track - 1 tear out of a stud- resulting in a small hole - at least 4 compromised studs- rubber torn right at the stud - a few seemed loose So... should I 1. remove all...

Replacing starter, reaching removal time ... about to tilt engine back. I don't understand the front engine mounts.... I removed bolts but doesn't look like engine will tilt back unless this sleeve or rubber thing is removed? Or maybe it will? If you have removed these front mounts and tilted...

Wow, didn't expect this! Walched all videos, read all relevant posts and never saw it mentioned that the oil filter hole/ starter access is so much smaller on a 2013 RS Venture!?! Is it even possible to get the starter out through this small access? All others seem to have an opening all the...

Any thoughts on this combination? Dual carbines seem like a good idea? Anyone know if they will fit? Many thanks

2013 RS Venture I have gathered bits and pieces of info on doing this miserable job, but does anyone know of a start to finish clear instructions? I won't be taking the engine out but rocking it forward? Thank you

Bought basic wind/ hydraulic sled lift from Princes Auto . Back of lift: Where does bar of lift go ? I'm thinking back of the motor towards the track? Front of lift: As for the 2 tongs that go along the sled and under foot platform, I think heat exchangers go under the foot supports, can I...

Hoping to get used skis for 2013 RS Venture. How do I know what "fits". Lots of variations out there. What Spec is most important? Do Polaris or Ski Doo skis fit a Yamaha? Thanks for your thoughts!

Specifically 2013 RS Venture (with carbs) I have read posts on this issue and I'm trying to decide if I should tackle it myself. It does sound like a PTA with the starter mounted at the rear, but I have not determined if it's actually possible as a DIY job. Can the motor be tilted forward...

Was out today outdoor temp 0 to +5C (41F) but new snow on trail last night (when not road running!) and I have studded track. Buddy says it threw lots of snow into track. I did not see (or notice) an overheat light if that exists, loaded up, got it home after 1 hr., started fine to get off...

2013 Venture chain type sound (or gears) in reverse until suddenly BANG and it locks up. Sounds and feels so bad. I can still put it into forward and again back into reverse where after 6 seconds- same thing. Chain tension good, brand new Yamaha belt sitting even with top of clutch shieves Any...

2013 RS Venture 10,000 km Last week the steering started having some play in it (loose), now it seems to be having more. ** Is this likely to be wear .. worn out bushing or something and probably ok till spring... or an accident waiting to happen???** Is there a known issue here? The visible...

2013 RS Venture. No voltage at end of heated visor cord. All fuses below test good. 1) No fuse is labeled "heated visor" or Aux besides aux DC jack. which fuse is for the heated visor? 2) Would this sled have one OEM when new or did previous owner likely have installed this?? Many thanks...

As a 2-up sled, my 2013 RS Venture has been be all around set to "firm" I've seen vague instructions about how to back off the shocks but would really appreciate "instructions for dummies" version pointing out the whereabouts of parts involved and tools if possible. Thanks!

Have lubed Venture following owners manual but can not locate zerc nipple on very left of diagram (most forward one). Do I have to disassemble something or remove something for access? I can't "feel" it anywhere nor see it. Can someone please help me locate this thing. Kindly be specific. Thank...

Hi Folks, RS Venture 2013 Really don't know where to start on checking the rear grip wiring. Grips not working. I can't see how to disassemble either the grip itself or the area it is mounted to. If I do, how do I test it and what colored wires? Hoping to use Rock's unit but want to test...

Hello all, I learned from a previous post I did that charging with the car charger on 2 Amp seems to be OK In case of (discharged/dead battery) emergency, I have carried with me a small Canadian tire booster/jumper pack. Question: given that these are small batteries and not comfortable with...

Shocked in the manual to read that a normal (car) battery charger can not be used with my 2013 RS venture sled. Is this true???
