I am very new to this sport and have a 2008 RS Venture GT. Can anybody tell me which wheels to use to quiet the track noise?? Would the factory accessory wheels do the job?
In his review of the 09 GT, Hondo said there was no track howl. In comparing the 08 and 09 the only difference I see is that Yamaha put the spoked accesory wheels on the 09.

Snopup,
The new 09 is also on a new chassis, new motor, clutch, wheels, where track howl harmonics can be changed and / or reduced.
Much has been written on track howl.
I used oversized Kimpex/Polaris wheels to reduce the track howl.
Machining is required. My dealer did the work. Others have used skidoo wheels.
More information is in my 34,000 mile report at the top of the page.
Hope this helps!
