  1. Thanks Mike I pulled the unit out and flushed the switch with electrical contact cleaner and now it works as new ! Jim
  2. My radio is stuck on AM. Won't change to FM. Has anybody else had this problem and how did you fix it ? Jim O'D....... Australia
  3. Thanks everyone. I'll just have to look for a worn insulation and short. Jim O'D.........
  4. Everything works.......... but the battery fault warning on the computer and flashing red light comes on. I've already done the mod to dispence with the electrolite low level indicator 12 months ago. Jim O'D.....
  5. I keep blowing the top fuse in the fuse Box. It's a 10amp fuse and leads to a white wire with a red stripe. What circuit does this power ? Any suggestions ? Jim O'D........
  6. I'm still looking for a R/H side cover vent for my '86 VR. If you have one please contact me. Jim O'D..........
  7. G'day All I'm looking for a right side cover grill. Half the louvres on mine have fallen off ! If anyone has one for sale please quote price and shipping to Australia. Thanks Jim O'D........
  8. I'm looking for a metric speedo for my '86 VR..........the odometer on the last one I bought does not work. If anyone has one let me know price and shipping to Australia please. Thanks Jim O'D.........
  9. Sorry I took so long to answer. I've been off air for a while. Havent had a chance to do anyththing yet but the first I'll do is check the torque on the diaphragm. I use standard 4st motorcycle engine oil so that's not the problem. Thanks for your really informative replies. Cheers Jim O'D......
  10. My '87 VR clutch is starting to slip when I apply too much throttle in top gear. I guess I'll have to replace the friction plates soon. What brand of plates do you recommend ? Jim O'D........ Australia:confused24:
  11. ThanKs fellas. We had the monsoon trough here over the last two days and we've had 11 inches of rain ! So I haven't had a chance to do anything yet. After the trough passes through I'll try all your advice and get back to you. Jim O'D.....
  12. Yeah Mate. I do it the same way but still can't do it. Tomorrow I'll try the raised suspension option. Thanks Jim O'D......
  13. I've since searched the forum and found my answer. Pump the suspension up to the highest setting first. I'll try it tomorrow. Thanks Jim O'D....
  14. I'm 6 foot tall, weigh-in at about 280lbs, and carbon dated at around 71 years of age, and I can't get my '87 VR up on the centre stand on my own ! Is there a mod to make it easier so I can do it on my own ? Jim O'D..... Australia.
  15. Thanks Earl.......... You're a legend ! Jim
