    I am delinking brakes on my bike during its overhaul. Also installing MKII forks, rotors, calipers and master cylinders. I have a steering head bleeder port available. Would this be useful with both front rotors working off of the front master, or is it not needed? Gary

    Can you turn your head lights on as it is now with the key off? If so, the LED's will blink when scooter is shut down, If not, they won't blink when key is off. Gary

    You should notice them when they are blinking. One other question. Is the power feed to these relays #30 contact switched through the key? If it is not, and you have run a hot wire from the battery through a fuse, these will flash when your bike is turned off & parked. Gary

    DPDT relays are not that common. I don't remember seeing one at Auto Zone or Advanced. Radio Shack might have them if you can find a clerk that knows squat. I went into my local Radio Shack Thursday and asked if they had transformers. The clerk had no idea what a transformer was. Radio Shack has changed. If there is already a SPDT there, then the 87A terminal could just be tied into. Cougar has a switch on each circuit & wants an indicator that the headlight circuits is energized. Gary

    A SPST relay does not have the second contact in it. (Either a NO or NC but not both) A SPDT has both contacts in it (NO & NC) Gary

    Some automotive style relays do not have an 87A NC (back) contact. They internally tie the 87 NO (front) contact to the 87A, it gives you another connection point on the relay. I have such a relay in my collection. If you have an Ohm meter, check for continuity between the 87 & 87A contacts. See this write up for some info on relays. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=43150 Gary

    My 83 doesn't start moving the temp gauge until I have been ont it for 15-30 minutes. The charging system will drain the battery at an idle. It takes 1500 - 2000 rpm before it starts charging. If it won't start hot check the spark again. Coils can break down when heated. Other possible culprits are a loss of compression when warmed up due to various internal engine components like valve train. CDI could be borderline on it. See this thread for 83-85 service manual download. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=43688 Gary

    If you have a spare spark plug, unhook one of the spark plug wires on bike at plug, put in spare plug, ground tip & crank. You should see spark. Please note. This can bite you. Suggest having wife or one of kids hold plug and you crank engine - just joking Gary

    Right side, under side cover, just above passenger foot peg. If it is an early 83, there won't be a cutout around petcock, have to remove cover. This one only has an ON and OFF position. Late 83 & up, there is a cutout in side cover, you can see it without removing side cover. Also has RESERVE position. Also, see this thread. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?p=438576#post438576 Gary

    Bad ground? Try cleaning battery cables. Gary

    I could be wrong here, but I believe the smog connector is near the left side upper frame rail, near the fuel tank filler. On my 88 harness the connector for it is right where the fuse box leg branches off. Gary

    I don't have the aftermarket backrest that you mentioned, but, Below are pictures of what I did to move my stock 83 backrest. This moved it 2" back. It is very solid. It did fubar the antenna mount. I will have to McGyver something for that yet. I was using an after market short antenna, but reception isn't that great. I had it mounted horizontally under trunk, above tail light. Gary

    It may be with these heads on the scooter & the FJR rear end. BYE BYE http://i1007.photobucket.com/albums/af193/gdingy101/PICT5257s.jpg Gary

    Mike, Send them to me and I will let you know how they mount. I may even send you a picture back of them mounted. Gary

    Look at my first post again. I was editing it when you replied to me. I think I figured out other two connectors. Gary

    Picture #4 is to the 41R flasher relay I have harnesses out of an 84 & an 88 and neither has the mate to the green connector in picture #2 Do you have cruise control on bike. This may be the two wire switch from the clutch. If you have cruise it should be a 4 wire switch. There will probably be an empty female connector in headlight bucket. 4 pin connector. Two Black w/ White tracers, One Blue w/ yellow tracer & 1 Black w/ Yellow tracer. This may be what is shown in picture #1. Attached is a couple of pictures of the 41R flasher relay, bike should not start without this relay. It also houses the start circuit relay. Here is a link to schematics. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=42358 Gary

    Tool and tach made it to Canada today at same time. Tach went out 2/8 and tool went out 2/13. At least tach got a riding companion somewhere along the line. Gary

    That is hard to believe. I have 10 of the wrenches going into Canada that were sent a week before this one, and I haven't heard of any of them getting there that went via First Class mail. One of the tachs that went out 2/8 still hasn't arrived in Canada. With Canadian mail, I can't get a delivery confirmation like I do US packages, unless I pay $2.00 more a package. US it's $0.19. I sent a wrench to Guam, and I am able to track it. Its lounging in Hawaii now. Sorry guys. Gary

    Wo Hoo.... Sorry to disappoint you RandyR Gary

    That worked. Looks like he dropped it. I'll bet a few choice words were uttered when he broke it. Ad even says 14 day money back - that's rare for electronic parts Gary

    The link just took me to ebay. Ebay is a pain to link to sometimes. Here is item # 350316957645 Gary

    My bike is an 83. I bought an 88 1300 from MiCarl that is going in it. CDI is different. Gary
  24. dingy
    Bongobobby got the last CDI I was after, he didn't know I was bidding on it at the time. I really need this, last major part I need for my engine upgrade. 1986 CDI on Ebay from Florida seller. Gary
