Got a tech tip for Voyager 12's from your personal experiences, or one complete with pictures and instructions, here's where to post it. You can also ask about tips or procedures here.
To date I have had a 77 Yamaha XS750
92 and my new current bike a 1998 Concours 1000
1984 Venture Royal
The bike is in great shape, garage kept, stored for the past 6 years as the drive is unable to ride, does need a car cleaning and general service. Now, when is Spring.. Now to sell the 98 Concours
Options to pick up: Trailer hitch and then who knows
Congratulations on joining the family of the AVA And on buying a very sharp VXII .I bought my '99 just over 7 years ago @22000 miles and have greatly enjoyed adding 43000 to that number.
Hello from NJ, and welcome to the AVA, Nice 2000 and low mileage. Your going to like this as much as the 750.
I had been an owner of a 77-xs750 also, 156K on it before I let it go.

Thanks for the replies. Now, it appears that the engine on this is almost the same as on my 98 Concours. I am selling that bike but have a new K&N, after market cam adjuster that I just added.. can they be interchanged?
Actually it isn't. The Voyager and the first generation Concours were introduced at the same time. The Concours had a 1000cc engine and was sportier in speed and handling. The Voyager by comparison was a tractor. It had a heavy duty high torque engine with self adjusting valves and straight cut gears for heartier load carrying capacity at highway speeds. I owned a ZRX1100 and have noticed a lot of external similarities in the Kawasaki line of engines. If anything the Voyager engine looks more like a water cooled version of the in line four Kawasaki police bikes.
Thanks, part of me is saying to keep both and another is do I need both.. I bought this bike for a few reasons: it looks like great and the talk with the seller made me believe in it and I wanted a bike for long multi state rides and I think I found it in this one! Keep the Concours fir the twisty short range stuff... maybe
OK, I have a farkle inflection. I see the bike in person in Feb, take it home in March and I am already looking for the toys to go on it... Baker wings, trailer hitch, I will use the fog lights off my Concours and etc etc etc...
Awesome! Consider that a gone item.. do you know anything about the wiring that would be needed? I work out of Baltimore and I will check if I can have it sent to the office. It would be a TON cheaper than trying to get it up to the Canadian border in NY.
hey, how far are you from Baltimore? I am going to driving back from the office on the 22nd. I can take 95 North if you are not that far off the interstate..
OK well that changes everything.. I must have clicked on something wrong as I thought you were in NJ.. Ok, I will try to give you a call tonight
Thanks
Steve
Good Morning, I left you a voice mail last night and my cell number. I am normally free after 6 but no rush as I won't be picking the bike up for some time yet... I do want the hitch so that you can count on.
