So any luck getting back on the road?

Did you match LED color to lens color? IE amber LED for turn signals, Green for Neutral, Blue for High beam. White for everything else. Some LEDs are not dimable due to their internal construction, some are.

You can get LEDs in different brightnesses. I got the brightest available for the dash illumination and they will dim some. I kept the very bright ones for all of the indicators so that they are more visible in bright daylight. The only exception is the high beam indicator that I went with a less bright LED so that it was not uncomfortable at night. the rest of them are really not on very often at night for the brightness to be an issue.

The first one would go to a condenser o filter alternator noise in the sound system. the second one is power, memory backup and ground connection to power the factory radio. Neither of these are used on a standard but would be used on a royal. That is my best guess anyhow.

Well I ended up using the engine hoist to lean it gently. And I broke nothing!

I realize that I am old, and the wolves are after me. But I still ain't old enough for a 2nd gen. I am planning to send my seat in to the butt butler this fall. Everyone's butt has been very happy with his work.

If desperation kicks in I do have a new HO stator and HO RR that I bought for my '88 but have not got around to installing yet. I do not know if they will fit an 84 or not. But I am 300+ miles away in Milwaukee. About a mile north of you is a Firestone auto service, Don't know if they would even look at a bike. If yo go north to Morton Ave which is about 2 miles. There is a NAPA about a half mile east on Morton or a choice of Advance Auto, Carquest and O'Reillys in a clump about a mile west on Morton, and a Rexx Battery specialist another 2 blocks north on Main St. A couple of things you can check without tools. Find the 3 white wires that come up from the Stator check the connector for corrosion or signs of heat indicating a bad connection. Follow those wires to the RR. Check the connector on the other side of the RR for corrosion of signs of heat. If you are lucky one of these connectors will have a bad contact that you can just clean up and be back on your way.

Cool:thumbsup:

No beer, Unless I have preplanned there is never beer in my house. That is why it has to be your beer and your bike. I'll supply the video camera and you tube connection.

Of more importance since you have it out and opened up is the condition of the 8 diodes on the other side of the board. If these fail the board is no longer repairable since they will take out a proprietary Yamaha chip. These diodes do fail with age. When I did mine I cut the cover near the connectors since the board is easily damaged trying to unsolder and remove the connectors. When I put mine back together I sealed it up with black RTV. including the drain holes that are where the water gets in in the first place. I load the connectors up with dielectric grease to make sure no water can get in there. I put my TCI in the left faring where it stays drier.

The bird is kind of small, but with enough gravy and smashed taters......... And she can obviously be trained for all kinds of tricks...... even by a bird brain....

If you wish to ride YOUR bike down my basement steps I will be glad to hold the video camera and your beer for you. I've never been a good member of the fun police.

Check the vent on the gas tank, they have been known to get plugged up and the vacuum that is created will cause fuel starvation. When you open the tank do you hear ais woosh? That would be the singn that the vent is plugged. It is possible that the fuel pup is bad or weak. When you first turn on the key you should hear it clicking for a couple seconds. if the tank is full it can still run without the pump working, but at around a half tank the head pressure gets to low to keep supplying fuel. Check the fuel filter.

The bird seems to have her well trained.......

I guess it will be plan 2 then. Just to be safe. There is no issue with the shop crane being able to lift the bike, its rated 4000 lbs. The only issue is dragging the shop crane up and down the basement steps. I'm old, and the wolves are after me..... I am thinking one strap around the triple tree and the other around the grab rails NO I am not riding the bike down the basement steps to get it closer to the crane.....

HOW??

I have picked up a couple of first gens for other people. Getting it back up is not my worry. Getting it down and back up without breaking anything is my worry.

Can I stow away in your trailer?????

I need to get at the bottom of my '88 Standard. If I gently lay it down on the right side will it stop going down when the crash bars hit the ground or will it still go all the way till the corner of the faring is on the ground? I will be doing this over nice soft lawn. If it only goes to the crash bars and will stop there that will be fine for what I need to get at I would really rather not risk putting all of that weight onto the 27 year old plastic faring. Plan 2 will be to use my shop crane to tilt it over to were I need it so it will not go all of the way down. I never intentionally knocked a bike over before. Picking it back up is the easy part.

They don't, but they think they do.

I did that, but it was kind of on purpose. Threw the anchor an a windy day for some fishing. When it was time to go home the anchor was stuck in some big boulders and I could not pull, wiggle or jiggle it free. The water was about 25-30 feet deep and since it was spring the water temp was still around 40°F, NO WAY I was gonna swim down there. So I let out more anchor line and turned the boat around to pull in the opposite direction the wind had dragged it in there. Tied the anchor line off on the tow cleat on the back of the boat and gave it all 250HP. It took a good 5 minutes of pulling but it did finally come loose, the force was enough that it bent the anchor. Yes I had everyone in the boat hunkered down in case the line snapped and came back fast. But I'll bet I looked really silly out there.

A pic is worth a thousand words. If it is the stub pipe that comes out of the collector, there have been posts where people have taken that to a muffler shop and had a new pipe welded in. Replacing the collector is pricey:mo money:
