Now I know what people are doing with the Ventures. Bought my 83' last year, and kept getting other owner's telling me to do this with my machine. Thank for the tour. Best wishes on the rest of your mods.
dude that's sweet. I wish my GL1000 had the space between the frame rails to use the electric choke. Had to make manual choke, have to manually twist idle screw to keep running when cold, tries to run away when hot. please do tell the secrets about the goldwings. Perhaps we can figure out how to contact off of here. thanks
what a great video. working on doing the exact same thing all thanks to this. what did you do with the idle solinoid? i just ordered a carb same as this and it comes with idle solinoid on the side of it. i dont see it in your photos. thanks again for sharing this.
Unfortunately without major fabrication the mono shock suspension on these bike do not have an aftermarket replacement. With some searching used replacements can be found for reasonable prices.
you know if you cram a throttle body form a small cat say 1.3 metro and weld some injector bungs in to the runners you are half way to a working efi set up.
PKR Customs I was offered to buy such a bike. The cost of Russian money is not expensive. Rear Suspension Malfunction. Malfunction of the pneumatic system and pump. Can you advise buying such a motorcycle?
Hi PKR! THANK YOU for this informative video and GREAT JOB!! Been riding these Ventures since '87 and am currently wearing out my 6th one of them (you can see my current scoot by clicking here if you would like: czcams.com/video/8cctFSfixBA/video.html ) I am VERY interested in what you found out after dynoing this set up? Or, if nothing else, what is your seat of the pants impression of performance on this compared to stock? Also, did you rejet the Escort carb and if so do you recall what you used for jet sizes and where you got them? I LOVE the fact that you chose to go 2 barrel = seems like that should really help in the performance..
Puc Puc thank you for subscribing. I have not had it dyno ed as I have been very busy in my shop but with the mods in this video I can tell you that the bike is faster than a stage 2 97 vmax. I can tell you from experience that it is night and day from stock. As far as rejet ting the carb - it is not needed, at all. The bike runs beautifully right out of the box.
No flat off idle flat spots or tendencies to starve in high R's? It seems like your set up should be much more throttle responsive as CV carbs (as stock) tend to be less responsive because they are vacuum operated but,, and you obviously already know this - the stock Ventures of that era performed remarkably and those V-Max's are awesome!! PK,, what did you do about the spark advance vacuum line for the TCI that normally attaches to the carb bank,, or,, is your bike an 84 so the advance vacuum's off one of the number 2 intake manifold (where we normally hook up to sync).. The 83's had that advance line attached to the carb.. Thanks for your thoughts!!
Puc Puc the only time I've ever had a "flat spot" is when I didn't let the bike warm up before I wrote it and that's only because of the fact that with the carb setup that I'm running the bike will run a little bit richer than stock. But once the bike warmed up there were no issues whether it be quarter throttle or Full Throttle and as far as the higher RPMs are concerned that's where the two barrel progressive carb comes into play perfectly because when you're using the Single Barrel to cruise around the bike doesn't use the second Barrel until you crack the throttle and introduce the extra air and fuel into the intake at that point again you're dumping more fuel at higher RPMs so there's no issues with starving the motor of fuel. As far as the vacuum line for the TCI my bike had a vacuum line that ran off of cylinder 2 that went to a T that connected the carb Bank and the TCI together but as I found through hours upon hours of research the vacuum line off of cylinder 2 is actually all you need to run the TCI properly. The reason it hooked to the carb Banks was so that the bike would meet EPA regulations from 1983 when it came to emissions.
I cant imagine a GW going much over 105 mph, they are pretty ill handling at that speed even when they were new. Sounds like you are calculating on paper using their steep OD top gear. A GSXR1100 of the same era with about 100 rwhp could only go 160ish and that was with way less frontal area and a vastly superior frame....

Outstanding job
Thanks for [posting. Looks really good!

thanks
Looks really nice! Would you happen to have the link on that kit you used to connect the throttle?
Thanks for the video , what kind of exhaust are on this bike ? the sound is very nice
Nice job, where did you get the carb from?
Thanks
what a great video. working on doing the exact same thing all thanks to this. what did you do with the idle solinoid? i just ordered a carb same as this and it comes with idle solinoid on the side of it. i dont see it in your photos. thanks again for sharing this.
Hi there I can't find the exact same carburetor can you share the link if don't mind?
How did you hook up the electric choke.
What would you charge for just the manifold?
Where did you plumb the coolant hose from? Did you tee into the radiator return and supply? Or somewhere on the engine?
There is a coolant line that goes across the top of the motor to transfer coolant from head to head, that's the line I used.
Do you have a way of telling me what vac ports you capped off on the carb and or used?
In Stock form they are used to sync the carbs.
did you have a problem with back firing into the carb when you first set it up?
erik johnson yes I had a backfire issue at first because of old plugs, after I put the correct plugs in it I haven't had any problems
Unfortunately without major fabrication the mono shock suspension on these bike do not have an aftermarket replacement. With some searching used replacements can be found for reasonable prices.
What would you charge to build one of these?
What do you charge to do that swap out on and 83 Yamaha Royal venture
This swap normally runs $700
Where can I buy a set up like this
I custom built this setup, unfortunately I have since closed my shop and no longer accept build requests
you know if you cram a throttle body form a small cat say 1.3 metro and weld some injector bungs in to the runners you are half way to a working efi set up.
jeff doak just browsing about the Holley Sniper EFI conversion.
I need you to make a carb like this for me to bolt on. How much
Sorry but am no longer making these kits
Any long term updates?
I will hopefully be posting a video with the progress I've made this weekend
@@pkrcustoms1040 I look forward to it
I have posted a new video of the bike

Umm... I don't know how to translate your comment
PKR Customs I will speak with you through an interpreter, I'm sorry for the mistakes.
PKR Customs I saw welded seams on the exhaust manifold, is it original? Did you like the motor on this motorcycle?
It is the original exhaust on the bike and I love the motor in this bike
PKR Customs I was offered to buy such a bike. The cost of Russian money is not expensive. Rear Suspension Malfunction. Malfunction of the pneumatic system and pump. Can you advise buying such a motorcycle?
Why?
Why what?
just search for a uni link kit on ebay
Thanks! I was typing it in as one word with no luck. Got it now!! On my way to the same setup!
Typically a kit like this runs $750

Nooooo don't turn her off!
I'd rather not deal with the wiring/programing or computers for efi. I leave the electronics to the experts.

Top speed on a venture is about 120 miles per hour.
