sarges46 Posted August 17, 2011 Share #1 Posted August 17, 2011 Lost my push to talk button for the passenger cb remote. I checked some parts diagrams and it doesnt seem to list the button itself just the whole remote for around 430.00 or so....dont think so Tim! Any ideas out there?

Sailor Posted August 17, 2011 Share #2 Posted August 17, 2011 It seems a few people, myself included , have lost those. I think there was a thread on it. I am looking for a radio knob that might fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flb_78 Posted August 17, 2011 Share #4 Posted August 17, 2011 I want to say that somewhere here on the site, someone found a replacement knob that fits from a hardware store like Lowe's or something like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingy Posted August 17, 2011 Share #5 Posted August 17, 2011 Considering how absolutely worthless the search engine is here, good luck. Love you Don, know its not your fault, it's Vbulletin software. And, yes, I do know how to use a search engine. I do it quite often in my job looking up technical info. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eck Posted August 17, 2011 Share #6 Posted August 17, 2011 Radio shack has replacements if I remember right and they had chrome ones too for around $4.00 I had one on my 05 RSV.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pa_don Posted August 17, 2011 Share #7 Posted August 17, 2011 There is a home made solution posted on the other venture site howver I did not want to copy as it is marked. You can also buy just the button from Parts Fish (www.partsfish.com). It is located in the "travel bag" section and is part #99, "button 1". Cost is steep at $13.47 before shipping / tax!

sarges46 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share #9 Posted August 17, 2011 Thanks guys! I do try and keep it a family site....but sometimes I just get carried away. I will try those fixes and thanks for the email Pa_don. I will check radio shack first....I like chrome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted August 17, 2011 Share #10 Posted August 17, 2011 That is a good part number. I ordered mine from boats.net. Search works GREAT. I'll say it again, you just have to use the google option in the drop down menu and check the "venturerider.org" button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRider Posted August 17, 2011 Share #12 Posted August 17, 2011 Once you install the new one, you need to advise your pillion the button is for talking, not sending Morse Code. Just sayin' RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look in your parts box, If I remember right I gave you my controler off of my RSV. Ron took it off the bike. The leadin wire was cut to get it off the bike. This was a brand new unit only about 2 weeks old. Ride safe Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V7Goose Posted August 17, 2011 Share #14 Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) If your bike is still under warranty, have the button replaced for free. It is not particularly uncommon for that button to fall off (along with some other specific screws), and Yamaha will replace them. As for the search function on this site, I think it works just dandy. Don is correct that the Google search option is great too, but I rarely ever use it, simply because the default search does an excellent job for me. The only significant limitation seems to be the need to use key words of four letters or more, and the Google search removes that limitation. Just because person "a" does not seem to be able to use a particular function, that is not proof that the function does not work. Here is a result from the very first search I did, using "button fell off": http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22453&highlight=button+fell+off Goose Edited August 17, 2011 by V7Goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Bob Posted August 17, 2011 Share #17 Posted August 17, 2011 Once you install the new one, you need to advise your pillion the button is for talking, not sending Morse Code. Just sayin' RR My X wife knocked it off twice with her boot while getting on the bike. Heard it the first time and put it back on, but not the second time. It's been gone about 6 years now. She's been gone for 4 years now. I figure when it's time to trade in the bike, I'll go to Texas or Loozeaner to another Maintenance Day and pick one up after dark.
