SilvrT Posted June 27, 2007 Share #2 Posted June 27, 2007 ummmmmm... check your "mute" button...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumphoto Posted June 27, 2007 Share #3 Posted June 27, 2007 Yes I agree check the mute switch on your handlebars. I rode around like that for a month until I accidentaly hit it again and found I had sound. Live and learn I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax thumper Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted June 27, 2007 tried that no luck, I was going thru the service manual on line and they say that possibly the amp block is bad? any one else had this happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrT Posted June 27, 2007 Share #5 Posted June 27, 2007 I had similar problem with mine...can't explain it but after banging the mute button numerous times, including the one on the dash near the radio controls (not even sure if that's what it is...maybe it's the intercom button?), I finally got my tunes to blare out again. I don't use the CB or intercom so am not overly familiar with the controls/buttons for them but I'm guessing I had one or more of them turned off or on when they shouldn't be. (just my experience...may not be the solution to your issue) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted June 27, 2007 Share #6 Posted June 27, 2007 Ummmm, perhaps the "Headphone" button on the intercom/radio controller is pushed in??? That will give you those exact symptoms. Don't ask how I know about that one:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearhead Posted June 27, 2007 Share #7 Posted June 27, 2007 Or the mute button on the passenger control? Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrT Posted June 27, 2007 Share #8 Posted June 27, 2007 Or the mute button on the passenger control? Jeremy Now, how would you know about that?

Gearhead Posted June 27, 2007 Share #10 Posted June 27, 2007 Oh, another possiblity that assailed me once. I had the CB on to see if it worked. I adjusted the squelch nicely and rode around. Shut it off, started it up another day, no sound from radio. Turned out that the squelch, adjusted right for the conditions the other day, was set up too tight and it was breaking squelch, muting the radio.

GeorgeS Posted June 28, 2007 Share #12 Posted June 28, 2007 Turn volume UP on Handle bar control, Set Volume to Max on main panel, Push Earphone/Speaker switch, for Speaker, Radio should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
