Been Around the Block
Let me start out by saying, yes I like this bike, I know you guys are going to rip on me being 18 and buying an "old mans" bike, go ahead. Its a 1986 Yamaha Venture Royale. Its got a 97HP 1300cc liquid cooled V4 (de-tuned Vmax) picked it up yesterday for $2050, loaded her on a trailer and off I went....Then about an hour away from home we got cought in the snowstorm so she got a tad bit dirty. Now the bike is pretty clean as it sits so i wont be doing a full "restoration", more just getting it back to peak shape for next season. I will be doing a few upgrades while I am at it as well.
My tentative to do list (so far):
New tires
Repack wheel and steering bearings
Exhaust work
Problem with onboard air compresor
Leaks coolant
Check Order Replace carb diaphrams
De-link the brakes and SS lines
Upgrade front brakes to callipers from an R6
Flush and replace clutch fluid
New throttle cables
New Battery
Change all fluids
Full tune-up
Clean & polish, Clean & polish, Clean & polish, Clean & polish, Clean & polish, Clean & polish, Clean & polish, Clean & polish
And now for some pictures from Yesterday:
