    That doesn't apply in this case. Ohm's law is not involved in a voltage rating for a component. 1 amp of current flow is the same regardless if is at 12VDC or 120VDC. The circuit resistance would be increased by a factor of ten due to the 10 fold increase in voltage. But an amp is an amp at any voltage. Current flow is a measurement of electrons flowing past a point in a circuit. This flow of electrons creates heat. This heat is what causes the fused link to melt and open the circuit. Gary

    Which wife is it that you are wanting the help with. Both were in the thread. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=44005 Gary

    You can safely use 10A/125V fuse in place of the 10A/32V fuse. The voltage rating is a maximum value that the fuse should be operated at. It does not change the current value of the rated fuse value. Gary

    The white wire goes to the TCI unit. It is the trigger wire for coil # 4. Each coil has a separate circuit to the TCI. The Red/Black wire is positive battery that is connected to each coil. The coil is normally energized. If key is on , there should be 12 volts present on the Red/Black wire and each trigger wire to the coils. When the spark plug fires, the TCI removes the trigger (ground) to that coil. When the trigger is removed, the coil field collapses, causing the spark plug to fire. Tachs read this pulse on the coil trigger wire and convert this info into an RPM display. Gary

    I didn't split the case and mess with the tranny. Everything but that, pulled pistons & honed cylinders for example. Bear in mind, it's not only the cost of the replacement parts that are needed. It's also all the gaskets, fluids, and related items that should be fixed once you are this deep into the guts of the bike. I have a list of all the gaskets & other things I used or replaced on my bike if needed. It of course goes a lot farther, but not including, the transmission repair. Gary

    Here is a schematic for the RSV's with color code info. 99-09 Yamaha Royal Star Venture Wiring Diagram Rev B.pdf Below is link to thread that contains above schematic and some other info. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=42357 Gary

    This is going to be an apples to oranges comparison then. I have a 2004 FJR rear end, very similar to Vmax rear end. 1988 engine. I measured right at 1 3/4" at outer edge of rear tire, with bike up on center stand. Gary

    What kind of bike you got? Gary

    The top fuse in the box should be wired to the top right screw terminal in the fuse block. It is the one labeled 'ACC' Schematics shows a 10 amp fuse. This terminal/fuse is energized when the key is in the 'On' or 'Accessory' positions only. Gary

    The 86-93 manual shows different procedure for setting steering head. At the bottom of my first post in the thread link below is a pdf file showing the MKII procedure, which I like better than the MKI. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=45268 The MKII shows tightening the nut up the releasing pressure and re torqueing.

    Aren't oil pressure switches just variable resistors? This would give you a changing load in the control circuit of the relay. The coil of a standard auto type relay only draws about 250 milliamps, so almost any of the powered circuits would be able to withstand that amount of increased load. Gary

    Ponch and I worked at this a little over the phone a few months back. If I can find a willing guinea, pig I may try to figure it out at Don's MD. I don't have acsess to an RSV. Gary

    Scotchlock and crimp connectors are for amateurs. Solder any electrical connection or it will bite you in the butt at the most inappropriate time. Gary

    The neutral switch on the royals has 6 positions. Look in lower left corner of schematic linked to below. http://www.venturerider.org/wiring/84-85%20Yamaha%20Venture%20Royale%20DL%20Wiring%20Diagram%20Rev%20C.pdf Also, thread below is a way to add gear position with a non-royale display. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=40639 Gary

    TCI is on its way to you. Gary

    I was going to mount a Stebel horn working off of the standard horn button, through a relay. I was also going to keep the stock horns, both mounted on one side, Stebel on other. The stock set up I was going to use my 'PTT' switch to activate. I don't have the intercom set up anyways. The stock horns will be my polite set, the Stebel will be my get the f&$k out of my way set.

    I drilled two 5/8" holes in air box on my stock 83 setup. It adversely affected mid range performance significantly. I have used the same air cover a little this spring in the limited running on the re-born bike and it does not seem to have the same adverse affect with the Vmax heads. I really don't feel much change with them open or closed. I took bike out with tank cover off and duct tape over holes so I could open them up as I was riding. Gary

    Depending on what you mean by "100% confirmed working" I could help you. I have an 86 TCI that I got off of ebay this winter. It came from a good running bike from a seller I have done a fair amount of purchasing from. I have had it in my bike for about a hundred miles so far and it runs as it should. I currently have a working 84 TCI in it. I could loan you the 86 if you are interested in it. Gary

    The pressure you set will be retained depending on leaks in the system. The Class system will not re-pressurize the shocks as they leak down. I am able to completely unplug the control head for days at a time and shocks are still aired up. Gary

    Sort of have to be logged in when you copy. Does it work if you log out before you paste in the VR site? Gary
