Venox 250 / What's the fastest you've gotten your Venox to go?
« on: June 02, 2014, 03:44:36 AM »
Just thought it would be interesting to hear people's personal records of top speeds. 

I've had mine just over 90 but it doesn't always climb that high.

Venox 250 / Ok this is weird
« on: June 01, 2014, 05:02:37 AM »
Ok, so I got it to stop cutting out at an idle.  It was running perfect again!

When I first bought this bike I had trouble keeping it running, I took it back to the dealership and they replaced a valve in the fuel system.  They told me this valve goes bad when the gas tank is over-filled. 

Well it seems to be doing the same thing after I accidentally over-filled it.  I've ran it for several hundred miles/KMs without over-filling and it's still cutting out then starting back up again after 60 seconds (hard start).  Then it runs seemingly perfect again for about 20 miles/31km.

Have you guys heard of this problem in the Venox before?  Do you know of any solutions?

Zombie, be nice!

Venox 250 / This was an interesting coolant change
« on: May 10, 2014, 06:07:04 AM »
Well thanks for your help, guys!  Got it all flushed out and filled back up.  Took it for a spin and got clipped by a car.  I saw him flying up behind me and swerved left, lucky guess cause he swerved right and clipped my muffler.

At first I thought it was just bent, but got it back and saw there was a tear in it up closer to the bike....

God bless

Venox 250 / Couple questions about coolant
« on: May 08, 2014, 08:59:00 PM »
I'm probably developing a reputaion on this forum but here ya go..........

The Venox is low on coolant so I checked the manual for densities and freezing points, listed in the manual -

25% -12 C
30% -15 C
40% -24 C
50% -35 C

The first one for example, that means 25% coolant, correct?  I'm in Columbus Oh, in theory the temp could get down to -30C.  To be safe, should I just make a 50/50 mix?  Or could this be too much coolant for the heat, which could get to 41C?

Also, I don't see any mention of what type of coolant to use in it, does it take the same stuff that goes in a car?  It's got the green stuff in there now.

Thanks!

Venox 250 / What's the best parts site for the Venox
« on: April 19, 2014, 03:13:43 AM »
I'm finding a bunch of different parts sites and I'm not easily navigating through any of them. 

What's gonna be the best site for the air filter and oil filter on the o9 Venox?

Venox 250 / spark plug questions
« on: April 17, 2014, 02:07:23 AM »
Ok, this may sound stupid but humor me. 

How many spark plugs does my venox have and how to I get to them/it?

I noticed it was running real sluggish for it's first run of the year, so I ran it with the choke out and that seemed to have helped.  So I'm guessing it needs plugs, or at least I'd like to start there.  It's only got 10,000 KM on it. 

I should probably change the air filter too.

But anyway, can somebody help me get to the plug on it, the pic in the manual didn't show much.

Thanks!
