Been Around the Block
I am selling my 1986 Yamaha Venture Royale XVZ1300. The bike has 34,XXX miles (well over 100k miles is expected for this bike), 1300cc V-4 engine (same platform as the Yamaha VMax). This is the redesign of the venture and besides different styling, bigger engine, more features, they also fixed the issues that 1983-1985 ventures had where 2nd gear goes out. This is a full dressed touring bike, it runs excellent and very smooth, onboard air compressor for the air suspension works, working cruise control, CB radio (don’t have headsets), cassette (easily adapted for MP3/ 3.5mm headphone jack), Markland trailer hitch with new powered wiring harness, locking hard cases, fully adjustable handlebars, passenger floorboards, clean title .
Within the last 500 miles the following work has been done to the bike:
New tire
All brake lines were de-linked and replaced with stainless steel lines
Front brake calipers were replaced with R6 calipers and the rear caliper was rebuilt with new pads
Clutch lever/line was flushed and bleed
Front for was rebuilt and the springs were replaced with progressive springs
Carbs had the diaphragms replaced and were synced
All fluids were changed at the beginning of the season (oil replaced 50 miles ago)
The battery is brand new and replaced with a Deka ETX18L AGM battery
Lower radiator hoses, plastic input elbow, freeze plugs, and thermostat housing were replaced
Fixed “E4” air suspension error
Other upgrades include:
Factory Yamaha service manual and Owner’s manual
Yamaha accessory pouches
K&N air filter
Fog/driving lights
Billet handlebar extensions for mounting accessories like a cup holder (included), GPS, etc
The bike is in overall great shape for its age, it needs absolutely nothing other than a rider. The down side to the bike is it has a few scrapes on the right side fairing and some repaired cracks (see picture) and a very small rip in the seat. These bikes, when they came out, were the hot rods of the touring bikes; It handles very well for a heavyweight. I am asking $3100 for the bike, I strongly prefer cash but I might consider a trade for a Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad or a Honda Shadow 1100 ACE/Aero; I can add cash for the right bike.
