1st gen radio information
timgray posted a topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I'm a Electronic Engineer, and have a set of 1st gen radio/intercom parts to "tinker with" on their way to me. In preparation to figure out how these things work and how to fully troubleshoot/ repair them does anyone have any detailed information about the setup? connector pinouts wiring diagrams? etc?? I am hoping to come up with a document to help others keep their radios working and to troubleshoot them. I also have a secret plan to upgrade my 1st gen with a stock radio. I need the space in the fairing for my Ham radio transcever, so the car stereo and it's mount will need to go. Also as a note, if anyone has any dead radio parts they are willing to sell cheap, I am certian I will need more "victims" to be disected on the bench. I might be able to find a common failure point if I go through enough of them. -
This is my first tech post. Maybe someone can help me. I bought a 1989 Venture Royale in July. The seller said the carbs were synched and the bike tuned. It ran great until two weeks ago. My wife and I started out on a trip, and after about 40 miles the charging system went down. I took the headlight fuse out and we barely made it back home. On the way home I noticed smoke from underneath the breather box. I found that it was the crankcase vent hoses that were disconnected. Today I removed the air box and reattached the hose.I put the box back on and when I started the bike up it wouldn't rev at all. It was like it was starving for gas. I couldn't get any rpm's without putting the choke on almost all the way. I took the box back off and removed the hoses and it still wouldn't rev. I cannot see anything that got disconnected or unplugged during the removal of the air box. I have always worked on my own bikes and can usually troubleshoot pretty well. But this has me stumped. I have already changed my exhaust collector and learned to troubleshoot my charging system thanks to the forums on this site. The shop manual with this bike gets to be very confusing. Any help would be appreciated.
