I've noticed by venture lite wanting to stall at idle for some time. I tweaked the idle speed to set it at 1700 rpm a while back as mine was idling at a lower speed. Lately, usually after a long ride when the sled is good and hot it wants to stall immediately upon stopping (thumb off...
Got an engine lamp with a code 81 out of the blue today. Looks like the fault codes that used to be posted in this forum are gone now. Saw on some other forums that this might be an open or shorted hand warmer. The warmers seemed to be working fine.
Now that I have some miles on my Slydogs, I concur with the opinions of most here that they dart a lot. After dropping that money on the skis and the mount modifications to get them on, I'm not about to abandon them. I notice the darting is worse when my wife is on the back of the sled.
Are...
Sometimes when I get on the gas after slowing down to almost a stop, I get a squak when I get back on the gas. A check of my belt this summer showed no noticeable wear. What would this noise indicate?
Can someone post the technique to flip this block back and forth. I struggle to do so with my hands. The manual says something about a tool. What does the tool look like? Can I substitute something else?
So I got my 7" sly dogs today and I can see what other posters have said. The Phazer mounting kit would have to have the inner bushings cut or ground down to fit on the venture lite spindles. My question is why not use the bushings from the old skis that are already the right width? Also...
Id like to figure out how mine is set right now, but for the life of me, I can't figure out the diagram in the service manual. Does anyone have a better diagram or pictures?
I've borrow a sled lift, however I don't think it will be real valuable in getting the skid in and out. It will be in the way. Anybody have experience doing this on a venture? I really don't want to do the "tip the sled on its side trick" if I can avoid it.
Well I do experience a very slow crank from time to time. Doesn't seem to matter if the sled is hot or cold, so I'm not sure I suspect the cold relay problem. The battery has been ruled out. Not sure I want to pull this starter out, so I'm wondering if the starter can be checked for the loose...
What does it take to get them out of there? I've unbolted the coils from the engine but they don't seem to want to pop off. Don't want to pry too hard.
I need to replace the rear hand warmer covers on my Venture Lite. This is the part number:

They are sort of a foam thing that goes over the bar. I don't see how they would slide over the bar very easily.
Just noticed that I have quite a bit of melted hayfax residue on my track clips. I was out for a ride with my wife and we did have to ride on an icy road for a bit. I've also considered that my track might be a wee bit tight. How tight do you all like to have your track?
After a very cold 125 mile ride last weekend I have a ton of ice on my VL (probably 50 lbs). I'd like to get rid of this extra weight but have no heated garage or barn.
Has anyone had any luck covering the rear end of the sled with something like a tarp and letting it run and heat up under the...
This problem started last year. Random slow cranks, doesn't seem to matter if the engine is hot or cold. I replaced the battery. Battery is charged and checks out fine. Charging system on sled seems to be fine. Tried a different battery anyway, still had the problem.
Did the 09's still...
Check out where my skis are attached in this picture. Would I be able to move them to the outside one notch for a bit wider stance? Any downside?
