    Your wiring will look different from the MKI units. The 83-89 bikes had 4 pickup coils. You only have one. The fuel pump operation should not be changed with the use of the Ingitech unit. You do have the option of having the Ignitech unit control the fuel pump, but this would be a modification from the way it is supplied. TvKing63 gave you a link to the simplified version of the schematic, if you want the one with all the connectors shown, it is linked below. http://www.venturerider.org/wiring/90-93%20Yamaha%20Venture%20DA%20Wiring%20Diagram%20Rev%20C.pdf Also, since you have the single pickup version, your software will be set up different. Don't download any maps from here and upload into your module. You can download and copy the timing map from any of them, but the data will have to be manually entered into the TCIP4 software. Gary

    I would disagree with this. A standard console has very different wiring from a Royale wiring. Shown in the two pictures in the second post of this thread is an 84 or 85 MKI Royale cluster. This can be determined by the cruise control light in the tach. Below are pictures of the back of the standard & the Royale clusters. Note the difference in the wire connectors to the CMU. Standard cluster is on the left. Gary

    The graphics changed in 86 I think. This is what is silk screened to the face of the speedometer. The tach has a matching style of graphics on it. Any speedometer head will physically work from 83 to 93. I put my 83 speedo & tach in the 88 cluster I used when I rebuilt bike this winter. I wanted to keep the actual mileage that was on the 83 unit. Attached are a couple of pictures of the two graphic styles I am aware of. There is at least one more style of tach due to the cruise light in the 84 & 85 MKI's Gary

    Are you checking coils per attached PDF cut from service manual ? You can also unscrew cap from coil on secondary wire and snip about a 1/4" off. Another thing to try since it will start when you bump it is to start bike using another battery right to starter. It may be your starter is pulling so much current that there is enough voltage drop that the TCI can not function when cranking. Do NOT jump from a vehicle that has the engine running. Clamp the negative lead from donor battery to any good ground, and touch the positive side directly to the starter positive post. Doing it this way only puts the donor battery power on the starter, it is separate from the bikes system. Gary

    Did your son do this? How long has he been using PhotoShop? Gary

    You can use any TCI from 84 to 89 interchangeably. They may have different part #'s, but they are essentially identical. Gary

    Fixed them, that was a pain in the buttocks though. I ended up having to cut them out of an email. Cutting, then logging out of ebay, then pasting, would only allow 1 or the other to work. Gary

    Below are ebay links to the two patches that were made relating to Yamaha's & RSV's First one has profanity in it that is blocked out in picture. Second one is a good natured rubbing at our RSV members. Intended for the 1st gen owners. Each are $3.95, including shipping.

    This will vary from bike to bike depending on the load on battery already. To determine load you will need an amp meter capable of reading about 40 amps. Start the bike. Do not start bike with amp meter hooked up. Having bike running includes TCI power draw. Disconnect positive leads from battery, put positive lead from meter on positive post of battery. Hook negative lead from meter to all cables that were attached to positive battery terminal. Disconnect the stator from the wiring harness. This eliminates charging to battery. You should now be able to read on the meter the amount of current that is being pulled from battery. Reading should be a positive reading due to hook up of leads described above. Turn on all accesories & lights to get a full current load for bike. This reading would be subtracted from the rated output for the charging system for your bike. This number can be found in the service manual. Gary

    Below is link to wiring diagrams on this site. The ones with "Simplified" in the title do not show the plug connectors in the wiring harness. They are much easier to follow than the full wiring diagrams. http://venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=42358 Gary

    Does the same thing on mine. At first it was a concern. But I have gotten used to it. Gary

    Look at thread linked below for one solution to side stand bolt fix. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=48342 Gary

    If you use a cleaner that is very aggressive, like starting fluid,, you run the risk of also removing the lettering on the outside of the switch housing. I do like to use starting fluid (ether) on the internals when dis-assembled, as it leaves no residue. Use with caution due to high flammability. Snapping the switch out may get you by for a few days, but it probably needs tore apart & cleaned. Gary

    Below are links to write-ups detailing cleaning the switches on an MKII. Throttle side: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=42433 Clutch side: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=42721 Brake & clutch: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=42720 I would not use emory cloth on the contacts, as it is more aggressive than I prefer. I use a scotch brite pad. Gary

    I don't think I can do much more than the picture of the box they came in. Gary

    I used a set from Wal-Mart. 4", 3 way waterproof. About $25. They will bolt directly in. You need to remove both fairing pockets covers to replace. Remove tank cover and then about 10 screws each side. Gary

    A Royale unit is different from the standard unit. Different instrument cluster connections. Royale models have the gear shift indicator & stop watch functions at bottom center of instrument cluster. Gary

    An 83 harness is completely different from later models. Turn signal flasher relays, starter relay and fuel pump control circuit come to mind. 84 & 85 are close, but still are some different connectors. Different fuel pump relay circuitry. A bike with cruise is different from a bike without cruise. This is due to the brake and clutch levers having different contact configurations and cruise connectors. I don't know if they made a separate harness number for the units that had CB's and CLASS systems as opposed to those that didn't. A Royale unit is different from the standard unit. Different instrument cluster connections. This is one of the short comings of the parts fiche. I have not found where they list part numbers for the upgrade options. Gary

    Todd, I have already placed the order a little while ago. I will let you know when I get them. Gary

    I have a cover that I made from a tupperware container bottom that hooks under the two metal pull handles. Not real pretty, but functional. There are also marine grade covers that are available on ebay. These hinge up. Gary

    Attached are a couple of pictures of the insides of a proportioning valve. Last picture is entire rear master. There are two rubber components inside the proportioning valve. If you delink the brakes, the proportioning valve is eliminated. Gary

    Mike, First picture is of a stock radio setup. Second picture is of an aftermarket unit that I added, using the panel from the stock unit. This radio is from Wal-Mart. Cost $40. It has a plug in for a USB thumb drive and another for an SD memory chip. No CD built in, so it is not as deep as a radio with a CB. I had a unit with a CD player in it, but it had skipping problems due to vibration & mounting position. Gary

    Todd, I will get the pins ordered from Ignitech this week. Sorry about taking so long to get them ordered. I will order some extras, as well. They have a really high shipping charge. Brian, If you can wait until I get the ones I am ordering, I will give you some. Gary

    Tap Tap Tap Is this thing on ?? Gary

    If you reply to them, then they have a verified email address for all sorts of othe spam. As tempting as it is to tell them to send me the check, it just verifies that the spam hit a good address. Gary
