Well it is an 83 after all, Did you find your ground problem for your safetys? Bad Caliper, Plugged holes bad lines. A number of different things.

Yeah I looked at this back when people were talking about them, It says they have a 2 yr warranty, with a clause about coils. Mine has 3 yr warranty but I am sure there is some kind of clause in there.

That would be a pretty neat bike lol runs off of webpages!

But keep in mind it may not been that boxes fault at all because I did run it for a week till o got tired of trying to kill myself taking off with kickstand down, I replaced it trying to get rid of a miss which ended up being two bad caps. Living life one curve after the other. Vroom scooting, thru the countryside.

For future reference I do have 83 TCI spare... But most it will do is start the bike and run good till the box gets warm, so if someone would need to borrow one I have one. The safety features in it are fried... But hell for a test unit... Living life one curve after the other. Vroom scooting, thru the countryside.

I would have went to zagger for his suggestion.... Living life one curve after the other. Vroom scooting, thru the countryside.

My question is do they make ignitec for vmaxes? And how wide is there varieties? Living life one curve after the other. Vroom scooting, thru the countryside.

I sure hope not because I accidently clicked link and it took me to webpage designing Living life one curve after the other. Vroom scooting, thru the countryside.

That is really good price, so to make sure I understand the ignitech TCI and pressure sensor is under $200.00 for the bike? I was under the impression it would be $262 for just the box and map sensor the last time I got one was for my 96 GMC Jimmy was $95 after tax. Ummm where did you get yours from? Living life one curve after the other. Vroom scooting, thru the countryside.

Don't know what that is, last I knew that was a Boeing Aircraft, But I could really go for a 250 mile run for a suitcase of White Castles....

At 6 minutes is where I do the test fool suggested 30mph in 5th gear, Wide Open Throttle it... then at 7:10 I pull hill at 45 in 5th gear and increase my speed. At 8:40 I turn and pull 3rd gear from 15-20mph at 11:00 Oopsy thought it was me at first which is why I turned off on this road. And as I go to take off I ended up getting wheel spin and the bike slid on me a little bit. at 12;43 I do the 5th gear WOT again. Finally at 15:10 I take a detour thru Morris Park. and 21:38 I pull a pretty good hill in 3rd gear. pulling the hill on the way to my house at 22:58 I slow to 20 and pull it in 3rd gear. And 23:56 I show the temp at which i have been running. Just so you know I paid $367.99 for this unit. It comes with 3 yr warranty, and have told me if adjustments need made they could do that, I have to email tech guy to see if it is safe to use the COPS with it but I would almost bet yes, being it has built in protections from over voltage and other failure. But I want to be for definate sure on this unit, Ride safe will follow up just to say yep it still works see how it holds up. No more real in depth with it unless someone else has other testing Ideas.

Heck they have Tci box for just about everything... Living life one curve after the other. Vroom scooting, thru the countryside.

on a side note, I replaced my fuel sending unit with a NOS yesterday, I took the new one apart just to see how it was supposed to look on the inside. Well my observation of it appeared different then what came out of my tank, I believe the winding piece was a little thicker and the position of the tangs on the winding were different. Maybe Updated version of the fuel sending unit?

Ok I went out and performed the test on the bike, 2nd gear takes offs, 3rd gear from 15-45. Also 5th Gear 30mph WOT, Started bottom of hill at 45, I made a video it is 24 minutes long will post as soon as it gets done uploading. I will try to note where the *load test* took place in the video. Any thing else you guys can think of I will do as long as it does not involve blowing up my bike!!

Thats a pack your lunch racer, not something I would want to ride more the 10 miles...

Yeah me and fool talked about that, so tomorrow I will run the test at about 35 in fifth gear and wot and see what happens but I will have to go out past lime kiln to run the test and try to pull the hill in 5th gear which under normal circumstances it did fine from 45 at bottom to 60 at the top... Living life one curve after the other. Vroom scooting, thru the countryside.

I came down to this town back in 05 as a temporary thing, I would say its not temporary no more. I actually fell in love with the whole area.

Sir Sir um Sir Your roof appears to be missing.....

Get ready for this one bongo, I showed it in the video the wire running from that vacuum sensor well its completely missing. I also talked about that in the video when I was riding. But I plan to cap it for now I let it idle for 30 minutes hot rodded it all afternoon and the temp is where it normally runs...

@CaseyJ955 I just talked to Customer Support Via chat here is the Transcript. Regulator Rectifier Chat support.pdf

those are all very good questions, This came pre-programmed. But being it is digital I am sure you probably could But I am not tech savy at all. Which is why I went this way for one, then the other reason is because I was nominated to test this one kinda.... No one else had tested it. I ordered it Thursday morning and it got here this morning via UPS. I have been riding around all afternoon and evening now. Being as noone I know has tested this I simply put my TCI from the box wrapped up in paper in my fuel sending unit box and have it in my saddlebag just in case. I would really love to know where it gets its curve but more info on this unit can be found at the site http://www.regulatorrectifier.com/catalog/1983-1985-1989-Yamaha-XVZ12-Venture-1200-CDI-Ignitor all I know is it seems to do as they describe. But I like how small it is which means I can run my two blocks together in one piece without it jamming up my False tank cover.

Kind of why I'm glad I got new to me TCI because my old box would not shut the bike down like it was supposed to, you would think flashing red light with sign would tell ya something!!! Not that I would know anything about taken off with kickstand down..... Or the bike falling over and not shutting down... Living life one curve after the other. Vroom scooting, thru the countryside.

Hey Clive, I have seen T-shirts, keychains, license plate frames and stickers have that saying on it. Very very good advice another saying I like is (I don't ride to add days to my life. I ride a to add life to my days!)

Ok now I have a kind of related question. I live up on a pretty good sized hill, Neosho also sits on a plateau. Now I have noticed something up on this hill the trees and such will blow like crazy but my wind speed has never went above 25 and it is quite breezy, Now when I go down to the bottom of the hill It seems like the wind is speeds up, well I know it does but when I head back to my house as I climb the hill I notice the wind change to seem lighter. What causes this because I would think being on the top of a hill I would feel the wind more then at the bottom?
