Thanks everybody for the information. Yes the neutral light is working so I guess I will start from there and working my way down

My at 83 will not start when in neutral. But when you put it in gear it starts as long as the clutch handle is pulled in. Any thoughts? Thanks Chris

thanks that was it. the right side is now flashing. not the prettiest job but got it done. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/17/7e3u9y7a.jpg Sent from my SCH-R910 using Tapatalk 2

think I found the problem I have a green wire that's not soldered to the switchhttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/17/9e8e3usu.jpg Sent from my SCH-R910 using Tapatalk 2

thinking the switch may be sticking and not a lot on the right side turn on. Sent from my SCH-R910 using Tapatalk 2

thanks everybody I found the 4 Way switch all flashers work when the 4 Way switch is on. the left turn indicators work correctly. however neither the front or the back right indicator will flash. Sent from my SCH-R910 using Tapatalk 2

Flashers not working Anybody got an idea why my indicator lights in the front would light up, but not in the rear. Both the front and the back are not flashing. Checked the wires in the rear and I'm not getting power to either side in the rear. I'm getting power to both wires going to the flasher. Thanks Chris

Sure Sent from my SCH-R910 using Tapatalk 2

should I go ahead and replace this relay? Sent from my SCH-R910 using Tapatalk 2

Neil my phone is not allowing me to make the phone call. are you outside the United States? on a good note I tried banging in the really against the frame and it is now working the bike crank over and started up. any idea why that might have worked? thanks for all your help !

I'm now getting 11.5 volt on one red wire and the other red wire I'm getting 2.9 volts Sent from my SCH-R910 using Tapatalk 2

tried that. where's the starting circuit relay Sent from my SCH-R910 using Tapatalk 2

can I swap relays out just to test http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/14/vugaba3u.jpg Sent from my SCH-R910 using Tapatalk 2

just tested the relay again and now I'm getting power to one red wire Sent from my SCH-R910 using Tapatalk 2

yes I have 3 red wires 1 large red with yellow stripe and two smaller reds with a white stripe all getting 11.8 volts Sent from my SCH-R910 using Tapatalk 2

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/14/3adune2a.jpg also tested the large red wire that goes up towards the kill switch start button and I'm getting 11.6 volts at the wires to the start button Sent from my SCH-R910 using Tapatalk 2

ok the keys on its in neutral and I'm not getting any power to the red wires Sent from my SCH-R910 using Tapatalk 2

I'm getting 11.8 volts at the battery Sent from my SCH-R910 using Tapatalk 2

the sky blue wire on the relay is reading point 0.8 volts. when the start button is pushed in it jumps to .9 volts Sent from my SCH-R910 using Tapatalk 2

Thanks i will check it out.

The bike is on the center stand and in neutral. does the CMS unit have anything to do with the starting circuit? Sent from my SCH-R910 using Tapatalk 2

Ok the board is soldered.... but now when i hit the start button the headlight goes out but the bike doesn't crank over.... Is it possible I messed the broad up, affecting the starting circuit. On a good note the headlight has about 9 volts now at the bulb and the high low seems to be working as well. The computer seems to be working better. Just wont turn over now. Thanks Chris

Thanks everybody. So I pulled the computer and it looked really good. I will solder the pins tomorrow and see what happens. http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q76/ChrisBonner/xvz1200%20pics/2014-03-11192102.jpg http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q76/ChrisBonner/xvz1200%20pics/2014-03-11192110.jpg http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q76/ChrisBonner/xvz1200%20pics/2014-03-11192119.jpg

Hi All I’m new here and I just bought a 1983 venture. It does have a few problems though. The first one that I’m taking on is my head light. When the bike is running the bulb is very dim. High beam or low beam doesn't seem to change anything. Measured voltage at the bulb 2.5 volts both high and low beams. I was hearing two relays clicking while messing with the high\low switch. One was gold in color with only the red wire with white stripe being hot under the low beam condition. Nothing was hot under high beams. http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q76/ChrisBonner/xvz1200%20pics/2014-03-10134458.jpg One was black in color with 2 red wires with white stripes but only one was hot under the low beam condition. Nothing was hot under high beam. http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q76/ChrisBonner/xvz1200%20pics/2014-03-10134511.jpg So I started to walk down the trouble shooting chart and got to step 6. http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q76/ChrisBonner/xvz1200%20pics/troubleshooting.jpg That is assuming t this is the reserve lighting unit? http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q76/ChrisBonner/xvz1200%20pics/reservelightingunitcallout.jpg So I get to “Check for voltage on (Y) and (G) wire from the dimmer switch to the computer monitor” http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q76/ChrisBonner/xvz1200%20pics/Dimmerswitchwires.jpg On the yellow I get 3.76 volts There are 2 green wires with no voltage on either of them. Anybody seen this or have an idea where to start. Thanks
