Where to find pickup coils.

Bike is a 1983 Yamaha venture. Does Yamaha still make pickup coils? Or if not, best place to find these new.

thanks

Did you look on Partzilla? That’s where I get my OEM parts.

The part number for new ones is 26H-81670-10-00   But they are no longer available from Yamaha.  I am not sure where you would find new ones at but the picks from 1983-1989 will work on all those years bike. What you might need to do is buy a used case with the pickups still mounted in it or someone who has removed them from the cover and will sell you the used components.  One note here, the 90-93 VR have a single pickup digital system and their pickup coil will NOT work on the 83-89 analog systems.

Now the next question,  how do you know you pickup coil is bad?  There is a procedure in the manual on how to test the ignition system components in the service manual under the electrical system. The manual can be download from the tech library section for the first gens if you dont already have it.

I hope this helps..
