Hi there, Does anyone know if I can get OEM, or any kind of hand warmer muffs that will fit on the passenger handle bars of a 2021 Venture? I saw a pic of some on a 2012 Venture (in picture) but can't seem to find anything when I search online. Thanks, Mike

Any recommendations on a cover for my Venture MP? Something on Amazon on for less $100 ? Let me know if you’ve got any experience with such? Thanks, Tony

I recently bought a used 2013 RS Venture GT with just under 7000 miles. It’s darting between 20-40 mph which is pretty much all it do. I don’t think there’s any slop in the steering so I’m thinking it’s suspension/ski setup. Bad when riding solo (220lbs) and with a passenger, front feels light...

Hi everyone, I have a new 2021 Venture, with only 2 miles on it so far. I have started it up about a dozen times or so, and each time I go to start it, it won’t idle on its own until after the 3rd try turning the key and rolling it over. The 1st two attempts, it may idle for 1 second or so...

Hi there, one of my mirrors has become lose. Anyone come across this? How would I go about tightening it back up. The Yamaha cover I got seems to be very tight, and I have a hard time getting it on without turning the mirrors up, which is what probably caused them to become loose...

I just bought this, my first liquid cooled. There are bits and pieces I have read in the forums ... something about blowing into the gas can, and something about a relay that commonly goes? (not fuel injection) Sadly I also just discovered you cant idle it too long. I did. Can we please throw...

Hi all, I just ordered a new 2021 venture. Do you know if it will come with carbides installed, or would I have to add this when it arrives at the dealer? Also, would it come with driver & passenger plug ins for heated visors? Thanks! Mike

I researching a track replacement on my 2012 Yamaha RS Venture (RST90). It's the original OEM 15 x 144 x 1.25 Camoplast Rip Saw Two-Ply track. I was thinking about a Camso with the embedded studs in the lugs. However, what I see is only a single-ply track. Am I okay with the single-ply or does...

Hi Guys, I am having issues starting my 2008 venture MP. I purchased it this fall and it was running Ok the first couple trips. I parked it, and the next time I went to use it, it wouldn't start. I replaced the spark plugs and it fired up with ease. I took it out to the lake, it started...

Hi Guys, I am new to the forum so thanks in advance for any help you might be able to offer based on your experience. I recently purchased a 2008 Yamaha venture 500 multi purpose. The first couple trips seemed fine but I went to start my machine and I am having some issues. As a back story...

Hello Yamaha 4 Stroke Engine guru's, My 05 RS Venture 973cc engine threw a rod (about 11000kms) and I'm swapping in an engine from a 06 Rs Vector (about 10000 kms). I bought the Vector complete as a running/trail ready machine at the end of last season but I'm parting it out for the engine and...

Hello all, End of season last year, I threw a rod (failed piston 'Plane Bearing') on my 05 RS Venture and the top and bottom cases of my engine cracked. I took it all apart to see what I could salvage so I have a bunch of good parts left. I have a lead on an 06 Vector engine which should just...

Hello, brand new to this site and this sled. Bought it last year from an estate sale. Has less than 100 miles on it and is really brand new. The gentleman I bought it from privately had it serviced prior to sale at local dealer ( carbs, ect.) I put new factory plugs in it. Took it up to cabin in...

Hey Guys, new to the forum. Lots of great info on here. Just bought a 2011 Apex XTX EPS with 2400 miles. I have a 2009 Venture RS with the stock wide powder skis. Was wondering if I could switch the stock Apex skis out with my 09s wide powder skis? Looking for a little floatation for small off...
