Hi, I was going through fuel parts diagram and came across this part which I have never seen before on the underside of my fuel tank (2005 Carbureted Venox). If anyone else still has a Venox in possession, could I see some pictures of the underside showing what it looks like? Also pictures of the gas tank refill hole with the cap off would be nice too, recently noticed a small hole bottom left of where the cap would go, possibly a vent?

Check your exhaust plumbing carefully.  Many small v-twins like the little Viragos have a "fake" muffler atop the real muffler.  If you look underneath you might find you have the same fake arrangement.

Hi, I’m aware of the old viragos having fake mufflers but I’m pretty confident the Venox has both real ones, I checked the parts diagram and remember seeing the top muffler going to the front combustion chamber and the bottom muffler to the rear chamber.
I attached the part diagram photo I mentioned, the longer tube extending far out to the left is for the top muffler I’m concerned about, the shorter one is the bottom muffler. The more I think about it, I believe the difference in exhaust temps is possibly due to the bottom muffler having a shorter length of piping to the rear combustion chamber therefore less travel for heat to exit the muffler versus the top muffler having twice as long of piping to the front chamber resulting in more distance between the exhaust and the chamber. I guess simply put, the shorter the pipe to the combustion chamber, the warmer the exhaust since it’s closer. The longer the pipe, the further away from the chamber thus less by the time it exits the muffler.

Id still like to know where I need to plug my carb sync tool as well and where the adjustment is haha if anyone knows that’d be great.

Just an update, so turns out the two front turn signal assemblies are aftermarket and not stock, and only support bulbs up to 5w while the rear ones are stock with the correct 10w bulbs. Called so many places before realizing these turn signals don’t support any bulbs at 10w so I ordered the OEM ones, hopefully this finally gets my blinkers actually blinking now.

I opened up the covers to the bulbs and the not sure how the bulbs are secured, is it twisted in or is there like something to push to release it? They’re so fragile I’m afraid to break them with my fingers alone haha

Found the problem, one of the float valve pins in one of the carburetors was stuck as in the small spring push pin on the needle was stuck out so basically starving my bike of gas!

Hello, I’ve been lurking the forums for quite a while now since picking up a Venox last year, finally decided to make an account in hopes of getting help.
Bike won’t stay running unless choke is pulled about 3/4 of the way out. Changed air filter, spark plugs, drained old gas last year before winter and put in new gas with stabilizer before storage. It originally sat in a heated garage for a few years untouched.
Any thoughts or ideas on what to do?
