    The neutral wire connector is very close to the rear shock damper adjustment on left side of bike. It is a single 'Butt" type connector. I believe it is a Sky Blue wire (light blue, but probably oil stained in this area). Try disconnecting Butt connection and see if this affects neutral light. If light stays on, you may have a short to ground in that circuit. Also, here is a link to online wiring schematic for your bike. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=42384 Look at the 83 XVZ12TK, first one in list. The third one in list is the simplified version, easier to read, but doesn't show connectors. Let me know, and I can further help you troubleshoot this if you want. Gary

    My Ram has an analog gauge, not digital. Similar to first gens. It did match close as I could tell. Gary

    Digital tach group buy is now closed. Tachs have been shipped to members that ordered them on Monday, February 8, 2010. Gary ================================================================ I received the digital tach today that I had ordered from an ebay vendor. He sells these tachs in an auction style format and they vary widely in price. Prices for the last 6 on Ebay incl. First Class shipping were $21.19, $19.19, $17.69, $19.19, $34.69, $20.00 These tachs would be very useful when doing carb synching and adjusting the pilot air screws. He will sell me a bulk order of 20 or more for a fixed cost of $14.50 including shipping to me. The tach is 2" x 1 3/4" x 3/4" Mounting tab holes are 2 1/2" apart, 2 7/8" wide at tabs. Display digits are 3/8" tall. Over cable length is 66". There is about 12" of dual lead cable. One for spark plug sensor & one for ground. The tach can be set to read RPM's once every revolution, once every other revolution or twice per revolution. RPM display updates every second. Readout is to 99,999. First picture below shows how I received unit out of package. Last picture shows tach attached to my Dodge Ram. Bike is not even close to running at this point. Also tried on lawn mower and it worked great. All you have to do is coil black lead at end of cable around spark plug wire two or three times. It doesn't even have to be grounded to read RPM's. Prices below include shipping costs. (Qty 1) First class for 17.50 to U.S. (Qty 2) First class for 32.50 to U.S. (Qty 1) 2-3 day priority for 20.00 to U.S. (Qty 2) 2-3 day priority for 34.50 to U.S. (Qty 1) First class for 18.50 to Canada. (Qty 2) First class for 33.50 to Canada. (Qty 1) 6-10 day priority for 26.00 to Canada. (Qty 2) 6-10 day priority for 40.50 to Canada. I can get two units in first class mailer and 4 units in small priority box. I would recommend priority mailing. The packaging will be better, I can use USPS supplied box. And it is much quicker and I can get a USPS tracking number. I have recently seen first class mail take almost two weeks transit time. U.S. shipping is to lower 48 states. If you want one or more of these please respond to this thread, or you can PM me.

    I believe I have a spare boost sensor I can get you. Shipping cost only. Sensor is off of an 88, but the parts fiche shows the same part # for the 83 & 88 so it should be OK. On my 83 all 4 bibs on intake manifolds are capped. What would be helpful is to know model # of your CDI. Just in case a previous owner changed it out. The 83 ran from a port just above throttle plates. 84 and later ran from intake boot port. Attached is a picture of my 83 carb rack, throttle cable side, showing black rubber hose that goes to boost sensor. Gary

    Grandpop and Bo, the Dog Funny, but so true!!! Myfather-in-law had prostate surgery. We brought him to the hospital at 7:30 a.m.,and he was operated on at eight. We were amazed when the hospital called at noon to tell us he could go home. Two months later our hound dog, Bo also had prostate surgery. When I brought him in, I asked the veterinarian what time I should pick him up. The vet told me Bo would remain overnight. "Overnight?" I said."My father-in-law came home the same day." The vet looked at me and said, "Bo's not on Medicare!"

    Pray they get it out before it decides to exit on its own. I had a 'large' stone start to come out on its own and it was more painful than any of the other injuries I have had in my life. Including two crushed vertebra. Morphine was not killing the pain. Doctor went up my urethra while I was knocked out to get mine. My step daughter had hers blasted & she said it was as painful as a c-section. Gary

    Attached below is PDF file showing the 83 starting circuits in three different configurations. 1st is bike at rest, 2nd is key on & in neutral, 3rd is key on, in gear, side stand up & clutch pulled in. Also attached are a couple of pictures of the inside of the neutral indicator switch. I don't believe that a failure is likely inside this switch that would give you a constant neutral indication on the cluster. The neutral light on the dash has ground fed from the neutral switch. A bare wire or connection along this circuit could give you the dash indication yet would not blow a fuse. Also check your wiring connection at the clutch switch. I have had the switch back out of the housing and give me a start circuit failure. This will not however cause the neutral light indication symptom. If you are having a neutral circuit failure, putting the side stand up & pulling clutch in should allow start circuit to operate. If it does not, there is another circuit failure. Gary

    Last night after reading the following post, http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?threadid=44565 I clicked on the link in Black Owl's reply to a smiley icon web site. I know I shouldn't have. The following happened afterwords. My default search engine was replaced. Avast automatic update failed. Home page reassigned. I then ran Malwarebytes software and it located 295 instances of malware. 99% of these were tied to the now default search engine. I had just ran this malwarebytes software about 5 days earlier and it had then detected 17 various ad ware problems. This was at that point the first I had ran it in several months. I looked at Black Owl's posts and this link has only started showing up since the 17th of January 2010. Gary

    I have placed an ad in the 1st Gen Classified section for plastic covers that will fit in the Pilot screw holes in the carbs. Plugs I will ship are black, not the silver shown in the second picture below. Keeps dust and dirt out of pilot screw hole. These can be removed and replaced. Set of 4 covers for $5.00 including first class shipping. Gary

    I have been in contact with the seller of these tach / hour meters I have a unit coming to me now. I am only suggesting these for test use and synching carb use. Unless the RSV people want to mount to bike. The tach will read exact RPM to 5 digits and has switch setting for as follows . The LCD will display 01 (spark plug fires twice per revolution), 02 (once per revolution), 03 (every other revolution), 04 (hour only,will not display RPM). I have attached the user manual to this post. If there seems to be interest in doing this I will start a clean thread on this subject. If there is enough interest we could make a group buy of these for a fixed price. I have looked at his prices for completed auctions on Ebay as high as $28.00 + $3.69 shipping. A couple went in $15.00 range including shipping. Most seem to be $20.00 to $22.00 shipped. If I could get orders for 20 of these he will give us a fixed price. He will sell them to me in bulk for $14.50 each including shipping to me. I could ship to buyer for $4.95 in US and maybe Canada priority. This would enable me to use Post Office supplied boxes. So to round off cost & pay for my labels that I can print using Paypal I could get them for $20.00 apiece shipped to buyer. This would eliminate people having to bid on them. Let me know if there is any interest in this. Gary

    Loosen Banjo bolt & put catch pan under it is about only way. You could crack bleeder screw & put drain line on bleeder & pump most of it out be pressing clutch lever. There is not a lot of fluid in there. Majority of fluid in clutch system is in the master cylinder. Gary

    Go to ebay and enter this item # in search field 370322875271 Seller ID is ride4adventure This guy sells these all the time. They go for around $15.00 usually + $3.69 shipping. ($4.69 to Canada) Search for other items by seller once you get to this item #. You can then see what he has. He lists them under all kinds of different ATV, Bikes, Snowmobile names. Same item. Just wrap one wire around a spark plug lead and ground other. It would be good for setting carbs & synching. Gary
