    Changing bearings on drive shaft and jack shaft

    That is good to hear . I didn't change the chain case side when I did the clutch side . It blew on me the next season ,so be happy that you changed it .You should be good for 6000 miles now .

    Changing bearings on drive shaft and jack shaft

    No need to replace that .Unless you damaged it some way . Mine has a metal locking tab which is reusable .Yamaha reused mine when they did it on warranty . Just change the bearings .

    Changing bearings on drive shaft and jack shaft

    I am not sure what you mean . If you mean the jack shaft bearing right behind the secondary ,then yes definitely change it . If you are talking about the nut ,then no reuse it .

    Changing bearings on drive shaft and jack shaft

    It would be a good idea ,but I just used a long punch and a hammer . That nut has a self locking ring on it . Just make sure that you tighten the chain side first ,and that the locking sleve is loose so that it can center its self when you tighten it .

    Fraying limiter straps on 07 Venture GT ?!(PICS ADDED)

    Yea Yamaha says to hang a 10 lb weight on it and then set it to 1.5 in ,I am guessing at that because I havn't checked the manual for years . If you set it the way they say you will burn more fuel ,and buy more bearings .

    09 RS Venture gt owners HELP! track losing lugs!

    Lugs are usually riped off by spining on a rock . I wonder if ice build up could cause it as well . last year I riped 3 feet off of the right side of my track ,going up a hill with a rock half way up .Never saw it just felt it . Track was toast .

If I...

    RS Venture 2007 vs. 2005

    I have an 05 ,I think they are the same .I think the rear springs are stiffer in the 07 . I think there are also acouple of more wheels on the rear . That sounds like a good deal to me .

    Top A-Arm05 Rage

    There is a small hose on the bottom that is hard to get on because it is to short . You must make sure it is on when you put the air box back because if you don't it will blow all of the oil out of the engine .Look for cracks or breakage in the bulk head where the a arm mounts . I would also...
