Tried using yamabond without gasket on stator cov now bike won't turn over. I loosened bolts a little and it started rite up. Do you have to use gasket to have thr proper clearances?

I have taken rear brake switch apart and cleaned because it did not work. I will take apart the clutch then front brake switch.

I have tried that thanks tho.

Finally getting my 92 on the road bought it 1 1/2 years ago. Had set for 5 years TCI was the problem got one from Dingy. Removed trunk put on shorty back rest put on Harley mufflers wich was already drilled out sounds good! Did some custom fairing work with black plexiglass took out cb and radio wich weighed 11 pounds! Kept air ride controll on right side added a round Bluetooth marine radio on left with new speakers. Cut windshield down 4inches. Would like to get cruise working when I push power button resume light comes on and stays on but the set light never comes on. I have read about all posts on cruise problems. I have cleaned switch at handle bar lengthened clutch switch spring both brake lights work properly and all fuses ok. When Side stand switch is down it displays on dash and warning light blinks but engine doesn't die when put in gear could this be related?

Went to order diaphragms for my 92 from Sirus on their web site. They was out of the SD-1 but according to their site the SD-10 will fit all v max's and all first gen ventures. I ordered the SD-10's anyone else get these?

Having a hard time finding coax couplers for the antenna wire cant find any for that size of cable. What is that size called? I have went to a rubber shorty antenna with a different mount im going trunkless. Still in the process of making mine a poor mans hot rod street glide. Or can I run the new antenna cable to the radio will it plug in? Also my cruise does not work powers on but that's it. I have cleaned the switch at handle bar. Next step?

Would like to thank everyone who helped me out getting this 92 venture back on the road. I purchased the aftermarket TCI from Dingey that fixed it.

After trying vmax TCI wich changed how it sparked in cycles. I took pick up coil off spare vmax motor I have. Same result but I discovered two of the raised squares on flywheel that pick up coil reads was covered with rust from sitting for years I guess. I cleaned them up hoping that was the problem but got same result. But this was with venture TCI. I had already taken vmax TCI out and reinstalled it in vmax. I know I should just take vmax TCI back out and try it but it was a pain in the ass to get out. Im thinking the reason the vmax TCI was firing in cycles was from the rust on the flywheel squares? If this makes since I would like to buy the aftermarket TCI from Gary my email was on earlier post. Thanks

Ok as Neil said I took the TCI off my running vmax and it would get spark to all four cylinders in cycles. Holding in on starter button it would spark for second then none for a second for as long as I held starter button just back n forth uniformly. A few days later I discovered I had unhooked the preasure switch to get the stock TCI out. So it wasn't hooked up when I was testing vmax TCI. Could that have caused it to spark like that? Also the black ground wire at the big TCI plug has good ground 0 ohms when key is off when key on has 20 ohms is this normal?

On the big plug at the TCI all wires except the black has 11.2 volts with key on. I thought the black was a ground If not whats it for?

yes email is njtalt@consolidated.net

Can anyone help me out with my last questions. Just trying to make sure im eliminating everything before I purchase TCI from Gary. Or if anyone intrested I would sell bike for what I got in it 750.00 Im located in Mattoon, Illinois

Can anyone tell me for sure wich wire at the TCI is the safety switch wire. I disconnected the black n white wire that didn't help. Just want to make sure im eliminating that possibility before buying new TCI. Also I have the TCI board out of the case and hooked back up what should I check with meter to eliminate everything else?

Took my TCI off and opened it up wasn't wet inside did not see anything obvious. I guess I need to buy one of your after market one's Gary. Im still not 100% sure that is my problem. Heck I have not even heard this bike run yet I hope nothing wrong with motor. Can I return TCI If that wasn't It? I think I might try taking the one off my vmax first. Anyone know where its located on the vmax?

My pick up coil wire was 105 at the plug at TCI. Got to checking my fuse block the one with old type glass fuses and found two of the fuses had been replaced with inline fuses. The red with black stripe wire and blue wire was still using original glass fuses. With key on the red n back wire was not hot on side going to Philips screw at top of box. So I crossed it with screw driver and still no fix. I broke fuse holder so im gona put in line fuse in its place. Was gona do the blue also. But the red n black wire that goes to Phillips screw and right next to it is the black with orange tracers that goes to other Phillips screw what do I do with that if I want to get rid of fuse holders? Also If I bought your TCI would it mount somewhere different so I would just leave stock one where it's at? Them screws are a mother to get to. Should I even try taking old one off and drying it out ever heard of that working?

No it wont start it tries to but spark plugs only get fire for less than a second. I will meter check pick up coil wire at ecu tomorrow. I have a 2000 vmax I can take the ecu off of If I have to to see if that's what it is. That would be a pain plus I would hate to burn that one up I have seen used ones on ebay for 200 but I guess I would be taking a chance with that.

Checked pick up coil with meter at plug along frame 95 ohms my vmax was 105 I did this without key on I assume that was correct. I unhooked safety wire from ecu still doing same thing. Fuel pump kicking on and filling carbs. I heard someone saying take ecu off and put in oven at 110 degrees to dry it out? Anything else? I guess this is why the bike sat for five years.

Can you test pick up coil with ohm meter? I wanted to try unplugging safety wire from ecu does anyone no wich color it is?

I have a vmax motor 2000 model would pick up coil work from that?

New to the site bought a 92 venture with 67000 miles for 500 bucks. Had set for five years tank was clean took carbs off they wasn't too bad. Had to buy a battery but this has me stumped and my local Yamaha mechanic. When you first hit the starter button it fires and tries to start for about a second then loses spark to all cylinders. I read a post from 2010 where the guy had same problem but don't know what he did to fix it.. I checked all wire plugs from safety switches and cleaned switch on handle bar. Tried unhooking tip over switch. What color wire is the safety switch wire that plugs into ecu was gona try unhooking that. Or if anyone has ideas thanks.
