As my old yamaha is now useless i found a used 05rs venture TF that i might buy. It has about 5000km or 3500miles i my math is correct. Its that 120hp engine, tripple 4 stroke, and "long suspension".
I have no knowledge of this sled at all, so please help me!

What do you think of the sled in general?
Ar there any known problems to this model, updates, and so on i should be aware of?
What are the "wear and expence" issues on this?

Google didnt help me much, maby i gave it the wrong info...
 
only thing I know of other than regular maintenece items is the timing chain tensioners are known to fail on the older triple 4 strokes. there is a sticky on how to replace it yourself on the venture section of the forum.

also keep an eye on the oil tank as they sometimes crack by the mount.
 
mine has 14,000 plus on it
great sled
the cam chain tensioner is a blue dot vs orange dot
i believe
i have greased my wheels every year
haven't replaced 1 yet
watch the suspension pivot arms
they can crack
welded mine
oil tank issue, crack at mount and leak
lots of good info on here
go through lots of the posts with venture
good luck
hope you enjoy it :Rockon:
