I had a 1986 Venture royale. I put 136,000 miles on it over 16 years. The only thing that ever failed on it was the front brake light switch. The 86 was very different from the 83, 84, 85. They increased the displacement slightly to 1300 cc, they gave it the diaphragm type clutch that was used in the Vmax, they updated the water pump, and in 86 it had the big carburetors. I don’t know if it was the same size carburetors on the 1200s, but when they brought the Venture back as the revised Venture called the Royal star venture, the royal star venture has, smaller carburetors.. I think that the tuning is different also. My 86 would run circles around my current royal star venture. Smaller carburetors isn’t a bad thing. When you have smaller carburetors, and the same displacement, you have a higher speed of the incoming air through the carburetors and you get better carburetion at low speeds, especially. That was a thing to do if you wanted to trail ride a motocross bike through the woods, you gave it a smaller carburetor and a weighted flywheel, so it would Rathmore slowly and you wouldn’t spin up the back tire is easily on shell or slippery surfaces or when you’re climbing a hill that has tree roots sticking up.. I took the edge off of a 250 motocross bike so you could actually ride it in the tight stuff.. The original ventures for 1200 and the 1300 Venture royale actually did 12 second quarter miles at the dragstrip. It absolutely left the gold wings in the dust, and the Suzuki cavalcade, the Kawasaki voyager was close in the quarter mile, and just as reliable and a bit smoother.. Yamaha got a long run out of that reliable as a sledgehammer V4 engine. They used it in the Venture, the Vmax all the way up to 2021, and several other models of Yamaha cruisers used the same engine. They were bulletproof… The Vmax had different tuning and a different carburetor set up that when you hit the feature called V boost, each cylinder was actually fed by two carburetors producing 148 claimed horsepower. I have ridden the Vmax. It actually had more torque than my FJ 1200 that I had at that time. That really surprised me. I was working at a Yamaha shop part-time selling motorcycle shop I just had to ride wanted to see what they were like. The original venture royale needed to have the insides of those side covers with the vents for heat covered from the inside. I did mine with aluminum foil in the summer, so that heat wouldn’t go through the radiator and come out those vents on my legs. The vents really didn’t close all the way… it had an all day sheet. And if you changed out the stock, fork and shocks springs, you didn’t need to use the onboard compressor to put air in the suspension, it greatly improve the handling. It made the bike feel like it was 200 pounds lighter with that simple upgrade by changing the fork springs and the shock spring… make sure you carry the spare key somewhere on the bike just in case, because you will have to replace 11 locksets if you lose the keys.. and you’ll end up carrying 11 keys all different if you don’t know the key number to get a replacement through Yamaha
