I've restarted my RSTD in Southwest U.S. temperatures well above 100F after short stops and experienced the same symptoms; choking the engine fully prior to a restart and releasing the choke after the engine fires seems to eliminate the stall. I suspect that heat rising from the engine boils most of the fuel from the carburetor bowls, and full choke pulls enough fuel back in to keep the engine running.
The owner's manual recommends 20W-40 in that temperature range. DO NOT USE ANY OIL MARKED "ENERGY CONSERVING", it contains molybdenum disulfide (a friction modifier) and may make the clutch slip. Tourers that drive long distances and operate in a wide range of temperatures generally recommend synthetic lubricants - Mobil Delvac 1, Mobil-1 SUV and Shell Rotella T Synthetic are names that keep popping up. Personally, I've been using Rotella-T (T6) synthetic for 111,000 miles (and used Mobil-1 0W-40 for 9,000 miles prior to that), and the bike has required nothing but routine maintenance. I've used the bike in temperatures from 11F to 118F (ambient) without negative effect.
Steering is out just atouch
Hi! Yes this can be adjusted, You will have to align the handle bar. This must be aligned to avoid accidents or you yourself can make the adjustments just knowing that its a little curved. Hope this shed some light. Hope this helps and have a good one!
Hello
as long as it will fit on the bike and it is designed for aproximately a 1300cc engine it will work.

Make sure you have free play in the clutch lever. On a hydraulic system, as the plates wear, you loose free play. Try putting a tube on the clutch slave cylinder bleeder valve and bleeding the line. If that does not change the symptoms, the clutch will need to be taken apart and inspected.
1987 Yamaha Venture Royale 1300. Only running on back 2 cylinders. Changed front coils still no spark?????
If you're experiencing a lack of spark on the front two cylinders of your 1987 Yamaha Venture Royale 1300, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
- Check the spark plug wires: Verify that the spark plug wires are securely connected to both the ignition coils and spark plugs. Ensure they are not damaged or frayed. If you have swapped the wires and still don't have spark on the front cylinders, it's less likely to be an issue with the wires themselves.
- Inspect the spark plugs: Remove the spark plugs from the front two cylinders and inspect them for fouling, wear, or damage. If the plugs are worn out, fouled, or damaged, replace them with new ones of the correct specification.
- Test the ignition coils: Although you mentioned replacing the front coils, it's still possible that the used replacement coils are faulty. You can test the coils using a multimeter to check for proper resistance values. Consult the service manual or contact a Yamaha dealer for specific resistance values and testing procedures for your particular model.
- Check the ignition system components: Inspect other components of the ignition system, such as the ignition control module (CDI), ignition switches, and wiring harness connections. Ensure all connections are secure, and there are no damaged or corroded wires.
- Verify power supply: Confirm that the ignition system is receiving power. Check the fuses related to the ignition system and ensure they are not blown. Test for voltage at the ignition coil connectors to ensure there is proper power supply to the coils.
- Consult a professional: If you have gone through these troubleshooting steps and are still unable to identify the issue, it is recommended to seek assistance from a professional motorcycle technician or a Yamaha dealer. They will have access to specialized diagnostic equipment and expertise to diagnose and resolve the problem.
Electrical issues can be complex, and it may require expertise beyond basic troubleshooting. A professional technician will be able to perform more in-depth diagnostics to pinpoint the exact cause of the lack of spark on the front cylinders of your motorcycle.
