Next time you are doing more investigation.....remove the left side cover so you can feel the fuel pump lid and note the frequency of the pulses at the 1500 rpm, then drop the rpm to 1000 rpm and see if it continues pumping albeit slower or stops. Also if you can find a spark tester that you just touch to spark plug wire check that all 4 are firing when it goes into this wobble at normal idle.

Had a look at service manual...they state with front wheel off the ground and spinning front wheel by hand you should show a reading of about 7 ohms resistance on the speed sensor then when it comes to a stop it will read 0 ohms or infinity depending on where it stops.

Does the model of Dyna you run have any diagnostic lights?

Yes....but there is a speed threshold....I believe above a certain speed its 10 secs, below it has to travel 150 ft. Having it cancel after 10 secs stopped to turn at a light would not be good. Go ahead and try the turn signal with the bike sitting...I believe the signals will keep on blinking until it detects motion (speed sensor) then it uses the distance from pulses of the sensor or speed to kick in the timer.

If you are still running the Dyna igniter....any chance the setting switch was disturbed...I know a few have had grief with erratic operation using Dyna...thinking maybe it got disturbed somehow...never messed with one, understand some use dip switches to select modes. Any diagnostic codes showing on the Dyna?

Bike on main stand, front wheel elevated, give time a spin while testing sensor resistance...should cycle from closed to open. I'd have to try it again on my bikes but I thought the self cancelling only occurs if the bike is moving.. IOW if you turn on signal stopped it will not cancel after 10 seconds. So if the signals are self cancelling there is some kind of speed being detected.

Any chance during the looking for spark checks that perhaps one or more spark plug caps were not seated back onto spark plugs?

I'm fine....quake actually happened near the plant I retired from, seismic tremors have occured in that area before and during natural gas production over the last 45 years.

ok....are you using same igniter....you had the Dyna 3000 before this episode. Then I think you tried the stock unit.

I hope the weather stays good for the reunion and your return trip.....the weather has been lousy here in Central Alberta earlier this week for sure.

You might first inspect the synch ports on the intake runners. If your bike has the AIS system operational, there will be 2 ports with hoses and 2 with caps. If the AIS is disabled all 4 ports may have caps. Inspect all the caps and hoses for cracks....common for them to start cracking, leaking vacuum and causing the issues you describe.

Randy.... unplug the cancel unit and try holding the turn signal switch left and right and see if the signals operate normally till you release the switch. If they operate normally check the connector for the cancel unit, cleaning contacts and retry with it plugged in. Still no go, I would trade the cancel unit with the grandsons bike and see if the problem follows the cancel unit.

That would make sense having the display soldered to a board.

Good to hear it was a cheap fix!

Randy... interesting project! Did the replacement engine go in with its own carbs or you put the bikes existing carbs on it?

Where is your external voltmeter connected.....directly to battery posts or on the bike harness.

Even with no air in front forks there should be some compression travel. You might be in need of fork springs.

Just consider alignment of the pickup is probably critical....

Yamaha issued a technical service bulletin stating the 83-85 rear coupler splines required greasing and 86 and newer were lubricated by oil from the final drive. The RSV uses the same design as the 86. The bulletin is M92-006 Unfortunately rather than greasing improving lubrication, theres a good chance that the grease plugs the oil holes that are supposed to allow oil to flow into coupler and out again.

Just a headsup...available for around $78 US.... http://www.boats.net/parts/search/Yamaha/Motorcycle/2006/ROYAL%20STAR%20MIDNIGHT%20VENTURE%20-%20XVZ13TFMV/GENERATOR/parts.html

Just a suggestion, but since you relocated the RR to the back of the bike, you might want to do some voltage drop testing across any connection points between the RR and the original harness.

Hopefully that sorts out this intermittent no start issue.

You have I think 4 small meter lights in the dash on the same fuse circuit....they could account for the 15 W (1.2A X 12V) you are seeing.

Seaking... The 1. is indicating the resistance is over the range you selected....the highest resistance you can display when set at 200 ohms is 199 ohms. So your pickup coil could be at the high end of the normal spec for resistance...or yes it could be failed.....but you need to get a reading. Try the meter on 2000. After getting an actual reading, if you want, since you found the correct wire colours up at the igniter, you could test from the 2 wire connector you suspect is for the PU coils up to the connector for the igniter, to verify that you have the correct one. In other words...unhooked at igniter and at suspect connector, test say the white/red vs each of the two wires and see if you get continuity....then test the black/blue vs the other wire. Once you have verified you have the correct connector...retest resistance on lower connector to the PU coil. This is to verify the issue is with the pickup coil or the wiring up to igniter.

Okay....get a good nights rest. No need to cut things apart. Simplest thing is tomorrow look at the Igniter plugs...should have the white/red and Blue/black. Test on them (everything is reconnected down below correct). Also on your resistance, your meter has to be set high enough so it reads the normal value... The 1. display can just mean the resistance is over the selected range, you have to raise the range to see if value reads out. Looking at the service manual the drawing they show for location of pickup coil coupler appears to be below the fuel pump.
