Radio Issues

[StormtrooperTK427]

Hey everyone, new member here.

I have a 2012 Yamah Royal Star Venture S, and have an intermittent problem with my radio.  Id say 70% of the time the buttons on my radio do not work.  Cant change station, input or anything.  Has this happened to anyone else?  Also I noticed the screen tends to fade out from time to time as well.

Thanks for the Help!

First step, open the front fairing. On the right side of the radio(as sitting on bike)  you’ll see a bundle of large round plugs, unplug and clean them and add some dielectric grease. That fixes the majority of similar issues.

Welcome to our circus by the way. You can find information for about anything on the bike here and even more that’s not bike related 🤣. We have a good time here.
