I didn't know where the brake relay switch was to run the check? lower left cowling or where? Whatever, I dropped it off at the dealer just now. Thanks for trying to help.

BUMP Well, that was high hopes. My fuse blowing is back. The swich fuse will blow whenever I pull on the front brake or push on the rear brake pedal' After trying to clear my mind and studying the simplified electric plan...it seems to me that my problem might be a short in the yellow wire to the rear brake. Am I making any sense. This runs from the brake switch relay to the rear light/ brake light. Or I know nothing about relays, could this be shorted? I think the relay is in the left front cowling?? Can I test this by pulling the yellow wire or am I totally wet. any help appreciated. Also is opening that wire at the relay likely to stop fuse blowing and let everything except the brake light work.

Just adding quick link to simplified electric diagram..pdf: http://www.venturerider.org/wiring/99-09%20Yamaha%20Royal%20Star%20Venture%20Simplified%20Circuit%20Diagram%20Rev%20B.pdf

I saw that. Daughter and son live in Springville and East Aurora, so I hope to fit it in the plan.

When does the rev limiter cut in-rpm's. What speeds would I be at when shifting at limit in different gears?Where are those power bands, and do I get better mileage trying to operate within them??

Well I went back and rechecked the fuses, you were right the signal fuse was shot..looked different this time.All is well. I'm gonna love this bike.Still have Roadstar Silverado 2000, but I may like this better. mmmmmm power. Can you point me to a thread where operating mph in each gear is discussed. Thanks for the help.

have a beautiful 2005 RSMV. Only have put 200 out of 45xxx on her. now fuse or something is gone, No turn signal, horn, brake lights, speedometer. odometer readout, but she is running fine. I checked left side fuse for signals and what I think is b/u main fuse behind that. All seemed ok but still have not found the problem. Can anyone help?? Wanted to ride the next two days to out of town doctors. Tried to load picture and failed? Also no indicator lights work on dash.
