Power issues while riding
snyper316 replied to Royal Refurbishied's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
Check your Diaphragms, see if there is any holes in them. If there isn't I don't know if I would use Berryman's to long. Lot of us use the Sea foam I would switch to that on next fill up and see if it straightens back out. Another thing which I don't know if the 05 has one but check your vacuum advance hose for any leaks. Maybe spark plugs. But anything more then that, @Flyinfool @yamagrl @bongobobny might have other suggestions too. -
Yes Sir I sure did before I put in the back left resistor. The resistors I used seemed quite large to be honest. I will do more experimenting, I just can't figure out why the other flashers didn't seem to work. The resistors I got just say 12v 6ohms. So anymore suggestions would be welcomed at this point. I am just happy I got them to work. I was determined to get them to work. One of my downfalls is if I can't get something to work I will keep trying till I do.

Ok I am sitting here looking at this wiring diagram for the 83 venture... it seems as with two different flashers neither worked for this application. I am closely looking at the circuit for the canceling unit to the flasher it appears the flasher would get its power from the canceling unit. I am thinking maybe the canceling unit is not reading the other flasher at all therefore not powering it on. Does this sound plausible?

O goody I get to look silly right about now but I have a question, What is CTFW? I bet I am gonna get some silly answers or a may just get lucky and get told what it is.

Wackie weed; is that some kind of new herb? I will stick with Mary when needed I know what that herb does. It is kind of legal here if you don't mind the $500.00 Maximum tax for having it on you then it has to be less then 10gms which is a class D misdameanor with no jail time. Now if you really want to enjoy yourself and have 10-35gms on you then your looking at a class A misdameanor.

Found something interesting while checking a link Heather posted here. http://www.ebay.com/itm/12V-3-Pin-LED-Adjustable-Car-Flasher-Flash-Relay-For-Turn-Signal-Light-Indicator-/201652823207?hash=item2ef371e4a7:g:znAAAOSwHoFXvRIB&vxp=mtr I have had a car with these and never really knew what they were but mine was a more rescest screw... that it had -/+ on it. Has anyone else seen or used these?

Well I have tried resistors and the flashers neither helped it could be the Walmart bulbs. At this time I will take those back. However the fourways worked fine. Just not the turn signal bulbs. The flasher four the fourways was fine just signaled a little slow. When I put a different flasher in the 4ways increased in speed to pretty much normal. The only lights that really drag power is the brake light. I just wanted to ad led lightbars without having to worry about power draw. Living life one curve after the other.

Yes you are correct Heather. Which is what I was thinking to when Fool pointed out about the canceling unit. There is a round 2 plug one for flashers, square 3 plug one for the turn signals, it is all behind the left fairing. I got them dug out as of now and going to try and replace them both. The cancel unit sits behind the the plastic that holds the fairing on I believe.

Um now I am confused after cowpucs post, then Dan had to go and further confuse me.. Told you all it don't take much.... Living life one curve after the other. Vroom scooting, thru the countryside.

Alright when my incandescents are in they work fine but when I unplug just the front bulb they no longer flash. My Jimmy would do the same when one bulb would blow out. Where is my flasher for the turn signals? In the diagrams it appears like it would be by the starter solenoid but when my lights are flashing it sounds like it is behind the headlight. It almost seems like it may be a weak grounding issue to me. Because if you don't ground your trailer lights they will do the same thing. I ended up grounded my lights on my trailer straight to the frame and they worked fine afterwords. They were grounded before but weren't always getting that connection.

I'll take the snow, but that other crap I can do without. People around here seem to think they have four wheel drive and can still do the speed limits. I was in a Ford Explorer in 2001 the girl behind the wheel was doing 60 on I-44 which was a sheet of Ice!! We all told her she needed to slow down. She told us it would be ok she was in four wheel drive. Not even 5 minutes later we were getting pucked around by a Freightliner. My seat belt did not hold me in place, when we settled two more Trucks were coming straight at us. I got out and made the girl move because she was totally out of it so I could get the truck off the road. I have no clue how I went to look for help. The next day I woke up feeling like I got in a fight with a Mack truck! So fool hopefully you get it all tweaked out by this weekend, So far they are still calling for a mix of everything this weekend:crying:

Hey Jeff I have a good one for you after following your link and looking under H4 headlight LED Conversion, It was right underneath the the kit. Would this do the trick to our CMU https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/daytime-running-light-bulb/led-warning-canceller-for-h4-led-motorcycle-headlight-bulb-conversion-kit/3964/8623/

That feature works when it wants to, the last 2 weeks is the first time in 1 yr or better since it last worked June of 2015. I ended up taken the springs out of my switch to allow me to slide it over when I need to turn. I was thinking I had read somewhere that there was no need to splice into the wires. So I guess a known good LED flasher would be preferred. I am guessing any flasher will work on our bikes? I had also read somewhere else that I would have to run LED's all the time or burn the flasher or LED bulb up. I read quite a few threads but most appeared to be on 2nd Gens, Also the other thing I was finding was the LED's were flashing too fast. Mine I would turn them on and they would go to bright and stay. So I either splice into lines or pull the front off to get to the flashers and just replace it. I ordered the cables from yamagrl so I will have to do that anyways so I will be trying again next weekend while the rain/sleet/ice/snow is a flying. Hopefully @Flyinfool can get his adjusting done on his machine, So I can test yamagrls handy work and I can find out just how much brighter the lights will be. Might even check into getting the headlight upgraded. Just not sure if there will be enough room behind the headlight for the heat sink.

Yep Mr led snowpercharger lmao I did find post about you being the guru on this. I found these load resistors but it said for fast flash... Hopefully when I get ready to do this I won't have a migraine because I can't think all my brain is mushy Living life one curve after the other. Vroom scooting, thru the countryside.

Um maybe thats why the Yamaha hasn't come out with the new touring motorcycle yet!!! They seen Honda doing this!!

Ok so this week I have been doing alot of Tinkering thought I would put some Led Bulbs in Signals and Brake Lights. However when I did a search on why the Blinkers would not blink at all. I did searches on this and have gotten very confused, Ha like that takes much but all the same. I was impressed by how ugly the turn signals looked with white LED's Needless to say I found my mistake there. So before I go tackle this Endeavor I wondered if someone has post somewhere that I did not find about installing the LED's with maybe some Pictures of how it was done or maybe even point me in the right direction. I want to do it right that way there is no question. I noticed something else which I am not sure if it was coming from the speaker or the brake handle but when I would press the break handle I heard a faint Humm kind of like a slight squeal. I also noticed with the lights all on with just the key I had no voltage drop what so ever. I had also seen where you guys have replaced dash lights with Led's. I just want my turn signals to work. Also has anyone put a Led Headlight in the First Gen's. I remember seeing a picture of a First Gen with Projector lights in the front but around here those Projector bulbs are a big no no. I need to see the sides of the roads!!!

Damn I been doing it all wrong, I didn't know you was a Conductor. I would have figured more of mechanic with AC/DC blaring in the background. Not someone with tweezers and razors cutting a patient open to Beethoven, However I can stand some Beethoven and Bach. That 80's dentist music Sucked. LOL
