[Front Brake Switch]

Need front brake switch for 1987 VR. New to forum, so also can email me at vipbuilder1@gmail.com

[1987 Venture Royale 1300]

Hello, New here to the Forum.

 

I traded for an 87 venture royale. Got it home and have been tinkering with it looking for things that need replaced and fixed. The first is getting it started. The battery is charged, the headlight dims when pressing the start switch, but not getting any cranking over. Not even hearing the fuel pump starting. Tried the Arc from from solenoid and nothing happened.

 

The previous guy had a friend drop bike while riding it and messed up the body. My buddy started pulling all parts to repair the broken fender, boxes and more. Honestly I am almost thinking he had disconnected something, but not sure.

 

Would like to get it running to try and figure out what else I need to start searching for.

 

Any suggestions?

 

I have the same bike. My experience is that if the kickstand is down, in gear with the clutch pulled in, I have the same symptoms you mentioned. Put in neutral and give it a try. Dave in central VA
