Hiya again all!

 

Stitch here, heading out on my first real good ride on my new (used) '86 VR, but ran into something today not encountered yet.

 

The CLASS worked once when I tried it and I haven't tried it since until today cause I know I need to do front fork seals next week.

 

Anyway... I put the ign into ACC tonight and the whole darn display lit up (all of the functions illuminated at the same time) and it's "flickering"... checked connections quickly and everything looks good on the back, no error codes, and it hasn't been played with since I bought it except once... I'm and bit baffled.

 

Also if anyone could please e-mail me the link someone sent me last week of a good source for parts i.e. windscreen I would greatly appreciate it (I can't find the thread again...Eeeek!)

 

Well gotta run back out to the garage and see if I can tinker with it a bit and get it figured out while I wait for the real answer from someone... wish me luck!

There is a fix for the class, i would suspect that is your issue. You will probably have to get out your soldering iron and double check the connections on the class board. The fix is listed and documented in this site under the 1st gen section. its fairly simple procedure.

If just the lights are flickering it might be nothing more than a dirty connector. The wiring can be accessed on the back of the controller by flipping the overflow panel up. There are two plugs. One for lightening and the other multi for functions. Clean 'm both with some good electronics cleaner. See if that doesn't solve the problem.

I took some more time with the CLASS head unit and if you move the connector to the right it acts normally until you let it go... soldering iron here I come! lol

 

Question about the site if someone knows the answer... is there a "specific" place to post for parts wanted or just throw up a wanted post like I saw for the CLASS controller for parts here in this thread?

 

Thanks again!
