XV1100SE Posted August 7, 2012 #26 Posted August 7, 2012 Think trying the headsets on another Venture would be a good idea. There are connections under the passenger seat (search threads). If it does have mic mutes a fuse issue could be the issue.
dacheedah Posted August 7, 2012 #27 Posted August 7, 2012 They will be under the back seat, must remove two 10mm bolts from under front seat, lift up on front and take off. Two bolts in front of rear seat, it will lift up and off. You will see the wires under the seat. If you bought these new I am guessing something on the bike is loose or unplugged. If you bought them used I would find another venture, I think Kaw and Honda use the same plug we use, those xpensive bikes use an 8 pin. Do yourself a favor, when you inspect these connectors put some dilithium grease around the outside lip of the connector ( not on the pins, this is non conductive and will help prevent moisture and corrosion issues) . If you find a green pin it's likely your issue.
Freebird Posted August 7, 2012 #28 Posted August 7, 2012 Unless the PO instaled mic mutes it's just vox, the ic volume should be turned all the way up. The way to tell if they installed them is to hit your cb transmit button and talk ( I have never had them so you might find freebird or someone that has them to be more helpful) . You have the speakers off and have selected HS correct??? The IC won't work if the SP selected, you must have HS headset selected. Set IC on 20, AV on 5 If you have mic mutes their will be a fuse under the seat, check to be sure the connections are clean. This is not correct, at least not on my '99. First of all, the IC is not dependent on keying the CB mic switch NOR is it VOX. It is ALWAYS on. Also, the IC will work even if the external speakers or selected. My wife and I have ridden many miles with the outside speakers selected and still used the IC. The IC will still use the headsets even if the music is coming through the external speakers. The MIc-Mutes is an aftermarket accessory. It works by momentarily pressing the rider CB talk switch OR the passenger CB talk switch. You just toggle the mics on and off my pressing either rider or passenger switch for about a second or so.
dacheedah Posted August 7, 2012 #29 Posted August 7, 2012 Fubar, I think you can clearly see this site is worth the $12.00 a year, let us know what you find. . .

Solodadof2 Posted August 7, 2012 #31 Posted August 7, 2012 Fubar if you have a powered mike it will not work on your bike, it will plug in and you will be able to hear but you will not transmit. How many Pins in the cord? if there are more than five you can get and adapter from Airrider I believe. Take a pictures of the end of your curly cord plug that connects to the bike and post it.
Squidley Posted August 7, 2012 #32 Posted August 7, 2012 yes i see that..i just dont know why it well not work with the cb..im lost,,,i knoe this sounds nutty i dont know anyone around that has a Venture...im in Beckley wv Some of our members are in your general area. Skid is in Gassaway and has a 2nd gen he's about 80 miles from you, Frog Man is in Falls Mill and also has a 2nd gen and is about 94 miles from you. They are both great guys and willing to help just about anyone.
fubar Posted August 7, 2012 Author #33 Posted August 7, 2012 it's not a powered mike and it's just the standard 5 pin plug DIN connector
krispy Posted August 7, 2012 #34 Posted August 7, 2012 Are you using the push-to-talk buttons when you try the intercom? Don't touch them. The IC is always hot. PTT buttons for CB only. As I type this though, I THINK that if you press the PTT buttons as if you are going to use the CB, your riding partner will hear what you say in their headset too. I don't know what else to try besides a get-together....
Gary N. Posted August 7, 2012 #35 Posted August 7, 2012 I've had the same issue with my J&M headsets. The patch cord between the bike connector and the helmet is the weak link, especially on the standard sets sold by Yamaha. Also the newer style J&Ms have connectors so that you can replace each component individually. ie: the mic, and/or helmet speakers. If yours is like that try taking each connector in the helmet apart and back together a few times to make sure they are clean and tight. If you can find someone with a known good head set you need to try that. Someone with a Goldwing set will work too. If you determine that the patch cord is bad you can buy a replacement from http://www.sierra-mc.com/ . They are great people to deal with and if you go there they'll for sure be able to solve your problem. They are just off I-75 in Troy Ohio.
fubar Posted August 14, 2012 Author #36 Posted August 14, 2012 the newer goldwing stuff dont work,i was told it would,sorry guys,,and thinks for all the input
Royalstargazer Posted August 14, 2012 #37 Posted August 14, 2012 I'm thinking a connection problem where the helmet cord plugs into the bike. On mine where I was experiencing the same issue, I used some contact cleaner and a small pic (I have a dental pic). If you look at the male pin end of the helmet cord that plugs into the bike, you will need to spread the pin apart (VERY CAREFULLY) no need to replace the cord. You will see the split seam in each of the pins that need to be opened up just a bit.
fubar Posted August 17, 2012 Author #38 Posted August 17, 2012 it you have the right ones,,,lol,,,thanks
