Hello everyone, I hope someone can help me with this problem. I have a 86 VR that I just got a couple of days ago, this is my first big street bike, anyhow, when I picked the bike up everything worked fine, I could tell right away carbs need cleaned and battery is draining fast. I got the bike home and went to start it for a friend, I noticed the dash lights were not working, I'm referring to the lights that light up the speedo and tach, the lights above for blinkers and such worked fine, so I walked to the front of the bike to find that the headlight was not working. I checked the fuse and bulb, both looked fine to me.I went out the next day after work and the lights worked, now tonight they stopped working again. Electrical is not my thing, I tried looking at the wiring diagram on this site, might as well been written in japanese.Is this happening because the battery is junk? Is there a relay that deals with the headlight? Any help would be awesome,thanks -
I am in the process of installing cruise control on my 1983 Venture Standard. I have purchased almost all of the items I need to do this upgrade from ebay. Prior to installing the parts, I will be disassembling the ones that I can and cleaning them. I have made the following write up of the process of cleaning the throttle side switch housing that came off of a 1988 Venture. The pictures show the switch completely removed from the bike. It is fairly lengthy, 41 pictures, but thorough. I would recommend removing switch from bike if you perform this cleaning. There are a number of small springs and ball detents that are very easy to lose unless you have a large well lit working area. If you are unable to open the PDF file, PM me with your email address and I will send it to you. Let me know if you find this helpful, as I also have the left side controls, brake and clutch switches I can do. Picture below is of the switch detailed in this PDF file. Gary -
Hi All Just finished rewireing my rear bumper. I put LEDs in and took out the incandesint bulbs. Looks nice and it wasnt a bad job. I did it all for under 30.oo bucks. I wanted to reduce the load on the elec, system hope it does that. Ill see if I can get some pics. Tom
