Anyone else sick of fixing Yamaha exhaust donuts? Did they hire a kindergarten designer to design the P.O.S. exhaust and repair procedure? Anyone install the following donut elimination parts? Do you like them? How are they holding up? Maybe Yamaha should adopt this system, as I won't buy...

I need to get one new ski shock for a 2012 Yamaha Venture GT. Dealers do not sell them separately, you have to buy a complete unit, $550.00! Where can I buy just the shock? Thanks, in advance.

Do the exhaust donuts need to be changed on these sleds, like all the older ones. Yamaha has a different part number for the donuts, compared to a couple of years earlier. Has Yamaha fixed the flaw in their product with a better donut? I have 11000km's on my 2012, just wondering. It's hard to...

Hi All A group of us recently bought good FRS radios, and the helmet kits to go with them. They work fantastic, except if your Yamaha is moving, or your RPM is above an idle. The radios worked great on Arctic Cats. How do I get rid of all the electrical interference that Yamahas produce...

Hi Folks I'm going to put a remote start on my 2012 RS Venture GT sled. Yamaha is way behind Cat on this one, along with the electric seat. I need to know which wire is the tach wire and which wire is the start wire. The start wire should be fairly easy to figure out, but not the tach. A...

Hi All My 2007 RS Venture, 17000km, 10500 miles sled is acting up. There seems to be a growl and slight vibration between 6000-8000 RPM. It also lacks power in that range. It starts and runs fine. I've cleaned the primary as best I can without splitting the clutch. My neighbour, a Polaris...

Hi All Stupid question that isn't answered in the fault codes section. My 2007 RS Venture is finally running, and is flashing an engine symbol twice, along with the caution light staying lit at all times. It may be a bad battery. Any ideas? Thanks

Just went to pack some extra grease into the jackshaft bearing, at the clutch end, and could actually lift the shaft a bit in the bearing. The bearing is definitely worn and needs replacement. What is the easiest way to replace this bearing? Does anyone have cross reference numbers for a bearing...

How do I check clutch alignment, without the proper tool. It's an '07 RS Venture that eats belts every 500km's.

Hi Folks. Where would I find the list of fault codes. As my '07 Venture's newest problem is that it won't stay running and is flashing "engine" and "46" Thanks

Hi All Broke a limiter strap on a 2007 RS Venture. Yamaha wants $38 each for this piece of conveyor belt that is worth 10cents. Whats the best bet for replacement, where do I get it in Canada, and how can I stop this from happening again? Thanks.

Hi All Started my 2007 RS Venture every month all summer. Moved it from my barn to workshop a month ago. It started and ran fine. Started it a week ago. It started fine. I put more gas in the tank. I changed the oil yesterday and now it won't fire. It turns over fine, and only sputters for 1/2...

As some of you know, I have a 2007 RS Venture lemon. Nothing but problems this past winter. 5 weeks ago it went back to the shop. Exhaust valves melted/pitted, exhaust valve sleeves worn/elongated, exhaust valve seats look hammered. This will all be repaired under warranty, except for fluids...

Originally - Too much oil? (from RS general talk) Hi All 2007 RS Venture back at the dealer. 20p.s.i., 220p.s.i., 60p.s.i., respectively. I've had it in before and complained about hard starting, and poor mileage. The first time they synced the carbs. Carb sync about 2000 miles after oil...

Hi All 2007 RS Venture back at the dealer. 20p.s.i., 220p.s.i., 60p.s.i., respectively. I've had it in before and complained about hard starting, and poor mileage. The first time they synced the carbs. All seemed o.k. for a couple of days. The sled never ran right since it's last oil change. I...

Hi All Where do I find what the warning light flash code means. My 2007 RS Venture has started flashing twice, with the engine symbol displayed. I have not had any luck with this sled since an oil change in Arnprior. Help!!

Hi All My 2007 Venture went in before it was 1 year old for going over, under warranty. Nothing wrong. Sled is now 1 year and 1 month old, running like a piece of dog poo, so brought back in. Different dealer this time, more local. Dealer says, carbs out of sync, clutch needs new parts, idler...

Whats the best way to get more weight on the skis so I can turn normally, rather than letting off the throttle to get weight on the skis so I can turn? I've already put duallies on. I've got 200kms on this thing and its been on one ski more often than my 2001 Venture with 20 000kms on it. My...
