I checked and yep I now remember the clip in the headlight. Thanks !

I dismantled the starter switch and housing to clean all the internals of the switches. I'm in the process of putting it back together. There is a wide half circle clip that I forgot where it went. Any suggestions please. See picture. Please ignore the other 2 parts.

I'm in the process of reassembling the cables routing in the handle bars. Anybody be willing to take the 2 screws off the handle bar cable plates (both sides) and eithor take a picture or describe what you are seeing so to which cabes/wires are in relative to their positions. Not asking you to dismantel yours just to describe what the cable/wiring positionings are.

Cable lube? Would WD40 or Seafoam Deep Creep, or 3 in 1. Or is there a recommended product. Now that cable lube is mentioned. My choke lever has always been extremely hard to move. I've only had the VR for a year. The choke lever is currently off for I also cleaned the turn signal and other switches in that housing. Earlier this year when I has a sticky carb, in the fixing process I sprayed carb cleaner all over the carb linkages. The choke level would move about 1/2 way. The choke seems to work when I need it. The choke couldn't be running part way open could it. I've rode the VR about 2000 miles and on the road the VR runs great. Doesn't miss or hesitate, gets around 35 to low 40's in mpg depending on how I ride. -
Just got home and found the 41R that Dingy send. I couldn't wait till morning so I went to the garage and put the relay in, put the 4 way flashers to on and the 4 way flashers worked. Turned the key on and tried the turn signals and it works also. Thank you bkuhr for your trouble shooting expertise and thank you Dingy for the 41R relay. Just have one last item. When cleaning the starter switch housing with all the other switches, I managed to get the throttle cable off, but getting them back on seems to be a difficult. At least I'm a bit more cautious in forcing it on than when I took it off. Most things usually comes apart easier then going back together. Any suggestions?

I got mine on Revzilla for the Shark Evoline Helmet. The Shark Sharktooth bluetooth is especially made for the Shark Evoline Helmet and cost about $225.00. Yours must be different than mine.

I got mine about 2 months ago and I like mine, but this is my 1st blue tooth so I so not have anything else to compare to.

How old is your Shark Blue Tooth set?

I would but I first need to go to Cody.

Has anyone tired to repair the 41R Relay? There is a clip at the end that comes off exposing the guts of the Relay. I tried to pull out the board but it will not budging.

Anyone Interested In Selling A Hazard Switch for 89 VR, before I bid on bay?

I'm wondering if something may have causes the 41R relay to go bad. Maybe if I describe the events you or someone might have some suggestions to looking into before installing a new 41R relay. I went for a short ride and in about 10 minutes I noticed that my turn signals were not working. Then I noticed that my Hi/Lo headlight dashing indicator was not working. As I got to a stop light behind a car I could not see my headlight reflection. Then shortly after that in about 5 minutes I noticed that my tack was not registering Then I noticed that the only thing on my dash that was working was the speedodometer. I got to my destination (yep no leadlights Hi or Low) and looked at my glass fuses and noticed that the 2nd fuse closest to the rear was blown. It was a 10 amp so I replaced it with a 10 amp. Everything worked. Got everything back together and tested some more and again no turn signal and dash gages. Same blown fuse. replaced it again with a 10 amp. Same out come. Then Gary (Dingy) told me that that specific fuse position calls for a 20 amp per spec. So I put a 20 amp in and everything worked. Except still no headlight. On my way home it wasn't long before I lost the turn signal again but only the turn signals. All dash gages worked good. At home I found the 2nd set of fuses that are the big push pin type and the 15 amp flasher fuse was blown. So I replaced it. Tested all the fuses with a trouble light and the light, lights up for all the fuses on both ends of the fuse terminal. At this point No headlights and no turn signal but everything else works fine and no longer blowing fuses. So I'm wondering if the 41R relay went bad and blew the flasher 15 amp fuse and the 10amp glass fuse. Or if a short somewhere blew the fuse and the 41R relay. Open to some troubleshooting before putting a new 41R Relay in. Oh by the way when I started to remove the turnsignal from the handle bar the headlights began to work and is still working. I throughly cleaned that turnsignal housing and all the other switches and guts right down to the last spring and ball bearing following Garys pdf file. That was an awsome set of pdfs.

Ok, the results are in: I think the first thing I would try, is to bypass the hazard switch. Do this by 1. Key off, remove hazard switch 2. On the bike side connector place a temparary jumper wire from Red to Brown/White. This should apply power bike on or off direct to the turn switch, also bypassing the turn flasher. 3. Now try left and right turn. The corners, L or R, should light up but not flash. If so this proves turn wiring is ok. Test Sucessful 4. Remove above jumper and place from brown to brown/white. Turn key ON. Test turns as before. If good this proves key on circuit thru signal fuse. Turn key OFF. Test Sucessful 5.Now remove jumper and place from brown to brown/yellow. This puts the flasher back in the circuit. Key ON, try turns again. Thay should work as before except this time flash. Unsuccessful. During this test I could hear a click as I connected the jumper wire. I then held the Relay Assembly in my hand and during the test I could also feel the click. If step 5 failed I would replace the relay assembly If step 1-4 worked, I would suspect defective hazard switch If something in 1-4 fails, let us know, may have wiring or turn switch issue. So Gary, what do you want for the 41R relay? also If you have more than 1 spare of the hazard switch I like to have a spare also. Do you guys have a recommended list of reasonable important parts one should carry incase of a breakdown. Also I noticed that the cover of the 41R relay comes off and so is it repairable? The guts seems to be hard to remove. Thank you bkuhr.

Dingy: I got motivated and decided to move forward with the wires. If I need the parts I'll contact you. Mean while I've been staring at the wiring diagram for a few days now and I think I'm beginning to comprehend how to read the diagram. It has never made much sence to me before . My understand of wiring is pretty basic. 1 hot wire for power to the accessory and 1 ground wire to the frame. So what the Hazard switch diagram is saying is that .... 1) In the Off position Power from the Red is passed to the Br/Y and Br wire. 2) In the On position Power from the Red is passed to the Br/Y; Dg; Br/W; Ch; Y/R Then you follow the wires to the other switches and accessories. Wow giving me a migrain. I'll do as bkuhr suggested tomorrow. So from my light test it would seem that the flasher switch in the On position is not working correctly for if I reda the diagram correctly the Dg; Br/W; Ch; Y/R should be receiving power on the OnPoistion. Is that correct? Tomorrow I'll do as bkuhr suggested and report the result.

Need Advise: My parts source in Puyallup Wa did not have the Hazard SW nor the 41R Relay. So I'm into the wires. My turn signal and 4 way flashers are not working. I've cleaned all the related connectors and clean and tested the bulbs and sockets. 1) At the hazard sw connector the Bike side. When I turn the key on, I get power to the RED wire & Tan wire. When I use the turn signal for both turns still on the RED and TAN wires has power. Now I put the Hazard wire plug into the Bike end of the Hazard plug. 2) On the Hazard SW side of the plug the RED & TAN wires still has power. Inaddition the TAN/YELLOW wire now has power. Same when the Hazard SW is eithor ON or OFF. Nothing changes when I use the turn signals. 3) If I put the Hazard SW right in the middle of the OFF & ON, the TAN/YELLOW wire no longer has power. Just wondering what it would do. My knowledge of wireing is pretty basic. From this point I do not know what else to test for power. Any Suggestion.

As I was taking the headlight switch apart the headlights came on both hi and low. So I sprayed some elec contact cleaner and worked the hi/lo switch a few times. Being that the turn signal switch is there also I sprayed it but the turn signals do not work still. Still thinking about the fact that both the turn signal and the hazard fuse blew. Any suggestions as to what I can check?

So what I found was that the 20 AMP Signal fuse was blown. But mine had a 10 amp fuse in that slot, and I blew 2 more 10 amp until Dingy told me that it is suppose to be a 20 amp. I put a 20 amp in and so my dash works, horn works, turn signal worked. Every thing except my headlights. On my way back home I lost my turn signals again but just the turn signals. At home bongobobny called and directed me to the 2nd bank of fuses. I found them just in front of the battery and a bit off to the right of center and down a bit. The Hazard 15 amp was blown. Put a new one in and still the head lights and turn signal (& 4 Way flashers) does not work. Headlamp Trouble shooting. Put in a new fuse Put in a new headlamp still does not work. Any suggestion before I trace the wires? Turn signal touble shooting. Put in a new fuse. Could the flasher go out, if so what are the symptoms and where is the turn signal flashers located at? Any other suggestions?

Please call 206 245 8408. Need to know where the headlight fuse is

What goes on during the "Stand the Flag Line". Is it just what it sounds like. Standing in a line with flags. There is a mission where "Stand the Flag Line" is 5 hours.

Asking for Prayer is like Asking for VR Advise When I ask for advise on my 89 VR on this site I'm not asking every member for their 2 cents worth, I'm only asking advise from those who have advise that would be helpful.

Didn't shut the fuel off. Actually don't know if it has one. I just tied the fuel hose up higher than the fuel tank level. Its just a small engine for my 1750 psi pressure washer. I'll try Condor's hand method tomorrow morning. Only I'll have to use something else besides my hand otherwise I will not be able to pull the rope. Funny thing, I have an antique Briggs Stratton Rototiller about 52 years old. It has at times sat for 5 or more years without doing nothing to it. Just put gas in the tank, pull the choke then about 5 pulls and it starts right up.

Located a rebuild kit locally. Thanks everyone. Never rebulit one of these. Do I need any special tools?

I pulled the carb bowl and the bowel was clean, except the float was stuck and freeded it up, sprayed Sea Foam lub in the area. Now I pull and pull and pull but will not start. Pull the plug and cleaned it. Tested the pulg and it sparks with each rev of the cylinder. Sprayed starter fluid into the cylinder. The engine runs untill the started fluid runs out. Did this several times but will not keep running.
