    Hey Guys, Local shop said when you get any reading on the stator at the plug on any of the three white wires with meter to ground, stator is bad. Well I pulled cover off and yes stator has about a 3 inch burned area on it. NOW I cant get the cover to go back on. front has bolts lined up, back where the wires come out, is 1/2 hole to high. I have pryed, twisted, pulled partially back off, banged, Etc. Even pulled completely back off a dozen times. Any ideas???? THANKS!!!

    When I turned on the key, volt was about 12. When started, longer it ran, started moving down slowly. Proably because I wasn't driving at highway speed,so it didn't need as much spark just at idle. Any suggestions are appreciated!!! Gary C

    Hey Guys! Thanks My problem is when I rode my bike to town, on way back the volt meter went from normal reading of 14-15 down into the yellow, when it hit yellow I couldn't rev it enough to keep running and died. First time I jumped it and got it to my son's house. A few days later, it started and I headed to shop, on way to shop it started building back up on volt meter. So I came home. I am truck driver so when I got back home in about a week, I took her to town again. This time same, way in, ran great, way home didn't make it. Won't jump, so called wrecker. Tested Rectifier with my meter on 200, 2k, 20 k, NO reading. After reading your posts, I tested to battery ground, still no reading from rectifier. Tested stator at same plug, on same readings, to ground, all three prongs read .99 - 100. When I did an Ohm test not to ground but to just the three prongs themselves, on 200 I got .12, .23 .34. Just by only testing ohms thru the rectifier itself. Will start bike and see what volt meter reads now, just for the fun of it. Thanks

    Hello, just tested my Rectifier and Ohm meter showed no reading. Manual said it should read .36 - .48 Ohms.....Checked leads on different contacts and still no reading. Where is the best place to buy Shindengen SH545-12 Rectifier or what is the best way to upgrade this system. Thanks Gary C Arkansas

    Hey guys, hope you all had a great week! Did all the testing of components, cleaning cable ends, ETC, we discussed earlier last week. Everything checked out! I tested the battery with a standard auto battery load tester, it tested good. SO, after everything else checked out, I took the battery to a friend that has a truck shop and put a 24 volt load test on it, the meter dropped to BAD in 2 seconds. He thought it was a intermittent short in the battery and it took the extra heat to finally burn it into?.?.?... What ever, I put in a Odessey PC 680 and it fired off like new again! Drove all over town and made several stops, NO problems!! Battery Outfitters in Rogers, Arkansas is a dealer if anyone close to them ($95 out the door). Most dealers charge about $121 delivered to your door. Thanks again for all the help on my problem!!! Gary C Ft Smith, Ark area

    Thankx Mbrood! Dj, the cables have been cleaned with sandpaper, battery spray cleaner, etc. They shine like polished chrome. Will check out the relay, then ??
  13. CAZCO
    Hey, guys, the manual says to pull the R side faring to get to the relay, I don't see anything that looks like a relay. Can someone tell me where that crazy relay is located? When I push the starter button I hear a repeated clicking (solenoid ?), but starter doesn't do a thing. Battery tests out high side on green scale, after a 45 sec load test it is about 80% on green scale. :think: Monday I went into work early to run some erronds, first 2 times it started like NEW, then it just clicked once and nothing, 4th time I tried to start it, I had to push. Last 2 times it pulled the volt meter down to O, even without hitting the starter button, the meter stayed on O ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I don't get off work again until next Thursday so may not reply till weekend or Thurs. Thankx, Gary C

    Hello, Thankx for the info, the bike starts like a new one, except every 2nd or 3rd time . When it pulls down, the volt meter reads about 5, have tested battery- good full 12 volts, charging sys at about 14 V. Have cleaned the battery post and cables on top, not at starter yet. Will do that and check the relay (solenoid) in a few days when I get other projects finished. (Honey do's before turkey day). Will also tackle (clean) the starter switch when I start the project. Thankx again Guys!!! Some good advice. Gary C
  15. CAZCO
    Thankx, Skydoc and Atlanta Dragonslayer!!!!!! Will give the starter a look at in the NEAR future, sounds like the place to start. Good batt, cables not heating up, will check relay at same time. Take care and God bless. Ever in Ft Smith, Ark lets riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiddde! Gary C:cool10:

    The taillite is on the same circuit as the cig lighter. I charged my cell on the way to work, but it didn't completely charge. The fuse had blown, put in new fuse and guess what I HAVE taillites!!! There was a thread on VR about what fuses go to what circuits, does anyone remember where it is? I searched but got nothing. Will check out starting problem more this weekend when I have time. THANKX guys for the help! Gary C
  18. CAZCO
    Thankx guys!! Skydoc, I looked at four different bike photos and didn't see the pic for the new fuse box. Computer is acting up tonite, that might be some of the problem. The fuse box is first on my list for when I get home, been a busy nite here at work, so can't think about looking now. Gary C
  19. CAZCO
    I came to work to night and when I got here the tail lights were not working, I checked the bulbs (OK), looked in the online manual and haven't found any help there. Will look for the fuse to see if it is a lone fuse. Brake lites work. Any ideas? On the starter, it starts great sometimes, then about every 2 or 3 times it will pull the amps down to about 5, then hesitate, then crank like a new one. Cleaned the batt cables, and tested it (OK). This happens cold or hot?!?!?!?!?!? Any ideas? Thankx, Gary C

    Hey, How does one go about cleaning a K&N air filter without buying their cleaning kit? They say not to use gas, oil, kerosene, tranny fluid, ETC.. Someone said awhile back to use mineral oil to dampen the filter, but didn't mention what he used to clean it. Got one coming due shortly Thankx Gary C

    Hey, Will look this weekend, I had one on my '89 Royale but the wife won't ride with me so took off for cosmetics, I guess she will never ride so just need bags for my luggage. Send me an email to remind me, just in case Gary C

    Hey, thanks for the reply's. Condor, as far as the carb's they were done early spring (?), will have to read up on the boost sensor and TCI don't have a clue what they are. Compressor is good, when you trn the key, I mean it stops then! But will put a tester on it when I have a chance, mine burned up in my shop fire in '03, haven't replaced all my tools yet. Will get with Mama Yama and get the spec's on 2nd gen and see what the difference is on gears and rears. Thanks again, if anything else comes to mind, let me know !!!!!!!!!!!! Gary C Arkansas
  23. CAZCO
    Hey folks, Here we go again! Sorry to trouble you, but I thought I had saved (subscribed) the thread where someone had changed the gears & /Or the rear end in a 1st Gen. As before my Goldwing at 75 MPH ran about 3,000 RPM, these Ventures run about 4,200. Went by the Mama Yamahammer shop today here in Ft Smith and AK shop manager said he has heard of it done but never done it himself?!?!?!?!?! He has one friend that just changed out the rear drive from Venture with a Vmax. BUT here are the ratio's Venture 1st gear 2.600 2nd gear 1.772 3rd gear 1.347 4th gear 1.068 and 5th gear .906 (deadly on the MPG on the interstates ORE over 65 MPH ) V Max 1st gear 2.529 2nd gear 1.772 ** 3rd gear 1.347 ** 4th gear 1.076 and 5th gear .0928 ???? I don't see anything that says we can go from 4,200 RPM to alot lower to get better MPG ?!?!?!?!? BOTH final drives are --- spar gears at 1.775 (not to up on all these numbers) Please, Help me here if I'm missing something. I don't see 31 MPG up to 45 here, ??. OR if you know for SURE someone that has raised his ratio and LOWER his RPM please send me their email or link. Love my Royale, but hate the MPG's. Someone mentioned last week to sysnc the carbs they have been done this year, also cleaned air filter, seafoam thru full tank of gas at interstate speeds (up N dwn), as before 40 MPG at 60-65 and BELOW, over 65 MPH, 31 - 38 depending on the headwinds!!! Last week drove in 25 - 30 mph headwind, 65-75, mostly 2 lanes, only 50 miles of interstate out to where the air could really beat me up, ran out of gas 4 miles from gas station, 31 MPG!!! Wife loved that at 4:am, will never live that down Thankx for ANY help or guidance you may give!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will get pic's of dream bike on site soon as I'm not real good at these computers. (thanks admin or ?? for the smileys) Gary C Arkansas
