[My 83 will not start when in neutral]

Thanks everybody for the information. Yes the neutral light is working so I guess I will start from there and working my way down

[My 83 will not start when in neutral]

My at 83 will not start when in neutral. But when you put it in gear it starts as long as the clutch handle is pulled in. Any thoughts?

 

Thanks Chris

think I found the problem I have a green wire that's not soldered to the switchhttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/17/9e8e3usu.jpg

thinking the switch may be sticking and not a lot on the right side turn on.

thanks everybody I found the 4 Way switch all flashers work when the 4 Way switch is on. the left turn indicators work correctly. however neither the front or the back right indicator will flash.

Flashers not working

 

Anybody got an idea why my indicator lights in the front would light up, but not in the rear. Both the front and the back are not flashing. Checked the wires in the rear and I'm not getting power to either side in the rear. I'm getting power to both wires going to the flasher.

 

 

Thanks Chris

Neil my phone is not allowing me to make the phone call. are you outside the United States? on a good note I tried banging in the really against the frame and it is now working the bike crank over and started up. any idea why that might have worked? thanks for all your help !

the sky blue wire on the relay is reading point 0.8 volts. when the start button is pushed in it jumps to .9 volts

Thanks i will check it out.

The bike is on the center stand and in neutral. does the CMS unit have anything to do with the starting circuit?

Ok the board is soldered.... but now when i hit the start button the headlight goes out but the bike doesn't crank over.... Is it possible I messed the broad up, affecting the starting circuit. On a good note the headlight has about 9 volts now at the bulb and the high low seems to be working as well. The computer seems to be working better. Just wont turn over now.

 

Thanks Chris

Thanks everybody.

 

So I pulled the computer and it looked really good. I will solder the pins tomorrow and see what happens.

Hi All

 

I’m new here and I just bought a 1983 venture. It does have a few problems though.

The first one that I’m taking on is my head light. When the bike is running the bulb is very dim. High beam or low beam doesn't seem to change anything. Measured voltage at the bulb 2.5 volts both high and low beams.

 

I was hearing two relays clicking while messing with the high\low switch. One was gold in color with only the red wire with white stripe being hot under the low beam condition. Nothing was hot under high beams.

One was black in color with 2 red wires with white stripes but only one was hot under the low beam condition. Nothing was hot under high beam.

So I started to walk down the trouble shooting chart and got to step 6.

That is assuming t this is the reserve lighting unit?

So I get to “Check for voltage on (Y) and (G) wire from the dimmer switch to the computer monitor”

On the yellow I get 3.76 volts

 

There are 2 green wires with no voltage on either of them. Anybody seen this or have an idea where to start.

 

Thanks
