Hey Mini, Is this event still in the works or has there been a new thread started for this event. I've not heard or read anything about it in a while. If so please let me know where I can view current information on the event. I don't want to miss it if I can help it. Bob Tell Jeff I said Hello

Got the blinker and Flasher issue resolved by finally correcting poor contact connections on plug in pins throughout circuit. Which seems to be a Reaccurring and aggravating problem on the overall wiring system. Lesson relearned: Never overlook or fail to do a pin out continuity test on all pins of all quick connect plugs whenever you are having electrical problems on these bikes. -
I had a sneeking suspicion it might be that ,but, then it sounded like an alarm buzzer and I wasn't sure. I'm gonna disconnect and see if that shuts her up so I can get back to Atlanta. I'll let you know.

Hey George, I would check but don't have the manual with me right now, sure wish I did cause I'm stuck in Ashville N.C. with a whole new problem. Horrible screeching noise that seems to come from the instrument gauge cluster. starts around 35 to 40 mph and doesn't quit until below 10 mph. it almost sounds like a warning buzzer but also kinda sounds winning gears or bearings. It was freezing cold when the problem started, Got any ideas? What if any warning sounds generate from gauge cluster?

Yep it's the center one in the row and looks like this. see picture

Yea I know, sometimes I go on a rant> It's just that I've learned to vent when something angers me. Once I've done so I've expelled the negitive energy of the anger and move on to a move constructive energy flow by resolution. When I do it in writing at least no one gets an ear blast by hearing me yell and scream. I apologize for the anger blast. I did find the replayment relay, but now I still need the hazard switch and have not been able to locate one so far. Thanks for the advice, I had considered that but I didn't want to risk screwing anything else up by altering the wiring system as complicated as it is. I'd rather swap the parts if i can find them.

Oatmeal every morning and as many fresh fruit and vegtables as a human can eat. Digestion is not my problem. Heart is good, Blood pressure is good, My colon even checks out ok. I Really even don't have any stress or anger issues except for this one thing. Sorry for venting, I should not have trobled you folks with my isues. Please excuse.

In the county were I live you would have to go to a bar, liqoure store or Ilegal Video Poker gambling casino to find a cop. If you need potection you better be packing a gun or a condom in your pocket because thats the only potection you gonna get. The cops are useless around here. Unless you park your motorhome on the street for a minute or forget to cut your grass one weekend they will come by and write you a code violation ticket while at same time, within site of a gang banger drive by shooting. My neighbors are considering changing the name of the subdivision from Creek Dale. to Crack Dale. I kid you not. I'd Love to see a cop at a Donut Shop at least I would think he was getting a little Cafiene and sugar energy rush to fight crime with. But in this county he'd probably just be shaking the merchant down for freebies. My Apologies If I offended any of the Good Cops out there, I sincerely appreciate and respect the job all the honest cops do, I just wish you would move here there seems to be a lot of openings at high scale wages. We need more honest cops around here. I'm just angry because our Police Dapartment can't seem to Police themselves. I'll shut up now, this is probably not the venue to vent on this subject but I didn't bring up the Cop at the Donut Shop target. I choose Giraffes.

SEE FAIRY GOD MOTHER, Bippity Bopobity BOO HOO HOO HOO

Yep, you were right they both are combined, but, not only that, That little box also includes the starting circuit cut out relay if you eliminate the whole box the engine dont start. :soapbox:What was Yamaha thinking? I Know what they were thinking take a bunch of little Inexpensive parts and put them together in such a way that if one goes out we stupid customers have no choice but to buy a very very very expensive combined part. A flasher relay is about what $4.00. This part thru Yamaha is $180.00. As Long as there is a Ebay Yamaha can Shove it.

George as usual, YOU Da Man, I appreciate your detailed trouble shooting Help, you've helped me get my Ox out of the ditch on more than several occassions. Rest assured before the summer is over I'm gonna find a way to ride to your side of the country to catch up with on a ride somewhere and meet you in person. I need the Iron Butt patches anyway.
-
No they dont in 1986 the combined the starting circuit cut out relay in the same box with the cancelling relay and the flasher relay. But, I did see that the part you need is on ebay right now with a group of 5 other misc electrical parts that fit a bunch of different models including youirs but not mine. Good chance to get it if you wanted to fix it. It doesn't look like anyone is bidding on it.
-
brake light and tail light work, narrowed it down to relay and hazard switch> I did verify that flasher relay, cancelling relay as well as the starting circuit cut out relay are all combined in the small little back box shown in earlier post. Leave it to Yamaha, They thought they made it tamper proof but I did get inside the little sucker anyway and found one of the relays fried.

PS: I Love your signature, I resemble that statement

The Blinkers don't Blink:bang head: and the Flasher don't Flash But the pistons are still singing rock and Roll :guitarist 2::guitarist 2: Dragonslayer :15_8_211[1]:sings bass and Honey :15_9_28[1]:sings tenor:happy65: and rest of the pack :dancefool::dancefool::cool10::cool10: just joins right in there:group cheers:

I discovered the other day that my left side blinkers weren't blinking, Checked the bulbs front and back which were good. Then discovered that lead (black & Brown) to left rear blinker had been pinched and shorted. I repaired the lead, checked and replaced fuses as needed. Now niether side blinks and no rear lights other then tail light. Front running lights are on but neither blinks, Nor does the blinker indicators on the dash. The hazard switch doesn't seem to do any thing. But it reads ok when doing pin out test. I thought that since I've been caught in several rides lately in the rain that moisture and/or corrosion might be a factor. :lightbulb:oh yea!. Wasn't that the problem that someone else was having on the North Ga 2nd Annual M&E that was covered in detail on that thread last week? :scratchchin:The problem did show up after I trusted 86ers weather report for that ride. Note to self: Go back and reread that thread. I Have taken turn signal switch apart, cleaned and reassembled. I believe I have narrowed it down to the signal flasher relay and/or Canceling unit but am not sure exactly which device is which. Tracing out color coded wiring it appears to me that both devices are combined together within the same little Black box. Is that possible?

Great Job Kenny, I knew it could be done. I wonder if those earlier Naysayers are eating humble pie. lol

Hey thats what i thought too.

Rosebud, you are so very right and your signature says it profoundly. In my lifetime I have been blessed on so many occassions to have been granted the priveledge and opportunity to witness first hand many of the wonders of God's creation. None of which would have been possible had he not given me the gift of sight or if I choose to have kept my eyes closed. Good luck on the detour.

Oh yea, I forgot about that in your case you may need the box. I don't recall any specific rules stating you had to actually be riding the bike. If it were up to me I would tend to award "A" for effort providing that you were photographed with a large enough piece of your bike to establish without doubt that it was your bike and that you followed the nature and intent of the game to the best of your ability considering the current condition of your ride. That's just me and not wishing to exclude you as a fellow member. But we may need to ask for a ruling in your case from a higher authority than me. Does anybody know if there is a higher authority to referee the rules. Maybe Freebird or the original thread starter?

When I was a little boy and would make up excuses why I couldn't do whatever I was being asked to do my mother's favorite retort was: Can't never could do anything, just think about it.
