- 2013 RST90D Venture 973 cc carbs
Specifically 2013 RS Venture (with carbs)
I have read posts on this issue and I'm trying to decide if I should tackle it myself.
It does sound like a PTA with the starter mounted at the rear, but I have not determined if it's actually possible as a DIY job.
Can the motor be tilted forward and the starter removed from the top on this year of RS Venture?
Thanks in advance

Front pair of engine mount bolts have to come out.
Exhaust has to be undone at flex flanges.
Rear engine bolt can stay in.

Just did mine Had to remove air box --battery box-- front motor mounts--and not sure what the other 2 bolts are called but when you lift front of motor it hits these bolts Believe they are steering arm bolts easy to remove Also have to remove oil filter this gives enough wiggle room to replace starter
