Help --- radio problems

[Jimspa]

:(There have been numerous discussons about radio problems. Mine is apparently not resolved with the usual cleaning and greasing of the connections under the faring. My issues seem to be at the "brain" as some have called it. It used to jump all over the place for no ryme or reason and now it is just locked in on one station and only the volume control works. No other feature works. My questions is this. Has anyone had to buy just the control module with the LED readout, or just the inside "brain"? If so, how much was it and do you have to buy it from a dealer? I'm concerned this is going to cost a real bundle. Any comments are certainly welcome.

Thanks

What I would do first is to take the controller apart and clean it. That's the unit with all the lights and the buttons. I would think you have sticky dirty contacts under the buttons.

Thanks for that suggestion. I have done that and no change. I believe moisture got into the controller and damaged it. I noticed several times that there was moisture on the inside of the LED screen. I guess I will have to rely on the dealer for this problem.

Thanks again.

I suppose then you could do the ebay thing or even check around to any used bike shops. If you're not in a hurry then we'll be able to help maybe with used parts.
