Royal star venture

@@ericdrake1444 I prefer Honda more

I like Honda Goldwing. They look really nice.

I am sorry, this question skipped past me. I found out that if you crack the bleeder, the pressure is taken off the piston. If it still doesnt move, you may have a stuck piston which requires it to be rebuilt. I know you probably already have this fixed.

@@ericdrake1444 It's in the shop now getting both calipers rebuilt.

Mine does not have tubes.

I bought the lights off Ali Express.

10mm

I like the look of the caps. I don’t believe there is any reason why you couldn’t remove them. I don’t believe they have weights on them for any reason. Good luck.

I don’t have an adapter. The scissor lift I bought off amazon. And it has two adjustable points to lift the bikes rear or front. Depending on location you put forward in frame or rearward.

@@ericdrake1444 well I noticed, there is no safe way to put a jack under the tour deluxe without having a lift adapter. as there is no level spot besides the engine... which I know its not safe to put it there in the long run. Someone on a motorcycle page, told me i could go and get a 2 by 4 from home depot or somewhere and use that instead of blowing 80+$ on something worth 20$.

I won’t dispute your points. I’m not an expert in video making nor am I an expert in motorcycle repairs. My only point was to show that the tire can be removed fairly easily. I will consider making additional points that I think of in future videos.

Hey fellow rider.

I don’t have a video of that.

Hey there. I’m just now seeing this comment. I am not the original owner. I never used a power washer. But don’t know the history. Thanks for the heads up. Very good information you provided.

True. That’s all you need

Mike Alvey....totally disagree, just saved 150 on labor and a trip to the shop 30 days out,, shop told me to bring in rim and new tire and they could mount and bakence for 30, watched this video once and had my back tire off in 30 mins...no issues...I was careful to put bolts, washers, and any hardware together so they go back on same way....just will need to Google tourqe specs for reassembling........great video in my opinion!

Until you have attempted to remove a rear wheel from a royal star venture, your comment is invalid.

I think in the video he does mention showing you how to reinstall. The missing piece to the puzzle is the washed. Never showed us where if feel from or where if goes back in. Other than that I thought it was helpful, I don’t see a better one on CZcams. I still need to figure my washer. Thanks for making the video.

So I would start with the oil. Smell it. See if there is fuel in the oil. If fuel is present in the oil. The engine has hydro locked. Common reasons are the fuel shutoff valve is leaking when turned off. Fuel shutoff valve is not shutoff. Carbs have sticking floats. Etc. Smell the oil. Start there.

@@ericdrake1444 thank you many times, I think you nailed it. It's a vaguely fuelly smell and I had just overfilled the oil res on the last ride!. And I never shut off my fuel. . . . Hydrolock. The other possible route is gas through the float needle seat o-rings. I think I'll start shutting off the fuel a quarter mile from home. . I should rebuild these carbs.

@@jeffreymills7627 I wouldn’t attempt to rebuild these carbs unless you are familiar with four carbs and syncing them. There is a Facebook group. Mike Eyykamp sells a ready to install set. Contact him before going any further. He will help you diagnose this fuel problem. My opinion. Drain the oil now before attempting any further repairs.

@@ericdrake1444 Sounds like you're saying that merely accessing the needle valve seats harms the sync. . . I did drain it and got access to plugs. Pulling plugs as soon as I dig up an 18 mm thin wall socket. Since exchanging my carbs isn't an option for me, if I can't replace the seals without jacking up the sync, if I don't find a better option, I will probably just start shutting off the fuel a quarter mile before I get home.

Purchased them from AliExpress app. Very easy to install. I jumped them off my rear brake lights and turn signals. Good luck.

If the bike is level. The lowest point is the drain bolt. I don’t measure oil. I just add till the sight glass is at half full. Because over fill cause blow by. And you end up with oil in your upper air box.

YA IDO ALL THAT BUT WHEN I REFILL ONLY 2.7 LITER GO BACK AND MY OIL IS DIRTY AGAIN DONTNO WHY THERE IS A LITER THAT DONT COME OUT STRANGE..

The silver tribal art came on 2010 model only. The blue pin striping was hand painted on by an artist in Buffalo New York. I bought the bike with it on there.

Suzie Flippin I bought my scissor jack from amazon. It comes with adjustable frame cradles with it. VIVOHOME Steel Motorcycle ATV Scissor Lift Jack Crank Hoist Stand with Saddle and Safety Pins 1100 lbs www.amazon.com/dp/B07LF44C4N/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fab_DQ.BFb7CHGHBJ

Diana O'Neill omg. You are having a hell of a day. I haven’t had any issues that you are having. But sounds like you need to buy sockets for stripped bolts. I have them. Never really use them. Where are you located? I’m Cleveland area.

@@ericdrake1444 we are in washington state. Got a flat while out on the road over a week ago but our mechanic is overloaded because of riding season so we are trying to get the tire off at home :-/

@@ericdrake1444 problem may be its sitting on the driveway where the towtruck left it. Just on its stand. We have a low profile rear spool stand for johns ctx 700 but dont think we can use it to lift the back tire of the royalstar off the ground

Diana O'Neill without being there. I would recommend you get to Facebook. Yamaha Royal star group. A guy named Mike E. Is the guru of the bike. Also. Others from that group that near you. Might be helpful. I’m on that group.

@@ericdrake1444 thank you, will do!

DarthBop what did you do wrong?

@@ericdrake1444 I took all of that crap off the bike, fender and all. I have another royal star and the calipers are set up differently. You have to take the calipers off all together. So, this morning I came out, reassembled my front end, removed just the calipers and was completely done in about 10 minutes. I should have known to look at the book or check CZcams first but, like I said, I have another Royal Star and thought they were the same. Thanks!

The rear is more steps. But it’s not hard at all.

Юрий Зубов what is your question? You said what does it mean. The airbrushing. Doesn’t mean anything. It’s just style.

@@ericdrake1444 Thanks for the answer! The question was as follows. I thought, that airbrushing on a motorcycle-this be can what any Moto direction or club symbols!)))

What does the diaphragm look like

Steven Wick I bought it off Amazon. Says $40.49 plus $9.99 shipping. There are others. But this one has moveable arms to adjust to different frame widths. And I use my impact driver to lift the bike.

@@ericdrake1444 Thank you, i found it like you said, on amazon. I Just changed the rear tire on my newly acquired 99 Venture. Not having or being able to find oneof those style jacks , i had to make shift a jack , i used a small two ton floor jack on the shock relay ,then place 2x8's under the frame and lower it on to them for stability. I will be purchasing one as i need to do front end work. How stable is the bike when it is on that jack? It looks like you placed the tie down strap attachment points further forward (as i did in my bike table ) as where they were originally was not a good spot. How and where do you attach the straps to the back of the bike when working on the front end? BTW your video of the removal of the wheel was GREAT!!!!! Thanks again have a GREAT DAY!!!!!

Steven Wick thanks for the reply. For the front tire lifting and strap location. I keep the straps forward at all times. I did have to drill new holes for the u bolts. Please see video of front tire removal on my page. The jack no matter front or rear is extremely strong and sturdy. I’ve never used the jack without the table. Or the straps.

@@ericdrake1444 ok WELL I cannot keep the straps on the handle bars as i am also removing the front forks and triple trees and replacing head bearings, fork,fork seals, fork oil and front tire. am thinking if i remove the rear saddle bags and fasten straps to saddle bag/trunk mounts right up next to the fender that should hold her upright. I will go into detail and maybe you can toss out some ideas as the guys on the Venture forum have. I am a pretty aggressive rider , i love to lean way into the turns, I have a 97 triumph Daytona T-595 (955cc sport bike) and also a 2005 Road Star (1700 cc V-Twin Yammi cruiser) i take both into the corners aggressively, i have worn the wear bars on the roadstar floor boards down to the nub TWICE from dragging them in the corners. well i was out getting used to the Royal Star and after about 100+ miles i decided it was time to drag a floor board as i went into the corner( typical 90* intersection ) and as i just touched the floorboard to the pavement it felt like the front suspension was twisting. Bike got a little out of shape but not to much, i calmly eased her back up a bit and continued my line through the turn. My first thought was a tire and since i'm changing the rear i figured might as well change the front too. Make it a matched pair . Guys on the venture web site said check steering bearings , and i also wanted to check and change fork oil im pretty sure it is from 1999 so while i've got her in the air i'm gonna hit the whole front end. Have you experienced a front end twist or wobble hard into a corner?? Again thanks for the video ,oh one question on front tire video, did you have someone hold the bike up while you put jack under front, or did you have it strapped, then snug up jack ,loosen straps jack her up and then re-tighten straps ? if not how ? Just curious because its usually just ME in the garage.

Steven Wick I always do myself. I strap it up. Then lift the jack. And loosen straps slightly to lift even higher. Till its high enough. Never removed the straps. If you want piece of mind. Remove the seat and run strap over frame to other side. I’m aggressive on my Venture too.

Gasket was deteriorated. Leaking exhaust out before the muffler. Causing a popping from that side.
