    Check all the battery connectins 1st and make sure they are all clean and tight. Especially check the negative down on the engine on the right side and make sure it's clean. The 1st gen Ventures are finecky with electrical and dont have much tolerance for loose connections. After you have checked the batter connections then possible trouble shoot the other systems, were here for you so keep asking questions if you dont get it figured out.

    Up in the upper right hand area of the forum page is the search key, type into it what your looking for and it will bring up all the posta and thread related to that subject. Sometimes you may have to search out several key words to get what you looking for.

    Rich, Dont worry about removing them, they arent going to restrict any real amount of exhaust flow through them. As long as you have the small baffle plates drilled out it will flow nice.

    Not meaning to Hijack this...but I just want to tell all our LEO's here, that thank you for what all of you do and have done. I have never got a ticket that I truly didn't deserve and I know why we pay you. I couldn't do what you all do....I'd shoot as many stupid people as I could before I was removed
  14. Squidley

    I'm not even sure that it was connected to anything. It is the same style as the speaker connection, but the pigtail is so short and next to the wire harness that it doesn't reach anything in that area. I thought it might be to the noise suppressor for the sterio, but it's really too short to reach anything that makes any amount of sense. I'll give it a bit longer, and thank you for living up to the smart asses that I expect you to be. This place is like an old shoe...sometimes smelly, but is a good fit. Thanks all for trying to help me out, specially you Owl, it's not often I get a serious answer out of you Thanks too Carlos for your offer to check yours out, I'll let you know

    I dont usually get stumped on the 1st gen....but I am on this one. This plug was located behind the left side inner/upper faring. It has 2 wires one black and one brown with faint white dash marks....any ideas on what it is
  21. Squidley
    When I put mine all back together after that Electrosport disaster, I didn't get but 13.8 on the charge. I would have liked to see 14.2 but that didn't happen, this is after I soldered the stator wires together and had a new Factory Yamaha regulator installed. So I said to hell with it, threw caution into the wind and rode it like I hated it (at the time I did) BTW...you could have said that it was Hal and I would have called him
  22. Squidley
    Thats an understatement! hard to believe that are good folks, but they are. Wish we could have been down there with y'all, I'm looking forward to the next Texas M&E we can make
  23. Squidley
    Excellent pictures Good to fimally put faces to a few of the members like Vance and Big Shell. You'll do more of these M&E's....I'm sure of it. JT.....the image of you tring to put any kind of a dent in Big Shell just makes me sit and laugh. You want to talk about a futile effort

    It's funny that you have been mentioned Falko, I too had wondered what had happened. Very good to see you with your light back on. As far as your now Diabetes...I understand your plight, My wife (sweetnothing) has been a diabetic for almost 13 years. Take care of it and watch your foods and you'll be fine. I hope we will see more of your on here, take care of yourself

    Sounds like the Regulator Rectifier to me, but there is a way that you can check the stator on the bike. The disconnect plug is right in by the battery and fuel filter, in that jumbled wire mess behind the center cover that the side battery covers hook to. You can disconnect it there and check the ohms if I'm not mistaken. The regulator is down under the radiator behind the right lower fairing. Plug is on the bottom of the unit, disconnect it and check it with a different one. I'd be will ing to bet that it's the regulator....I'm pretty familiar with that charging system
