    wont start

    :sign yeah that:Take the connections apart, sand them shiney, and reassemble tightly.

    Gary, that was a very good write I had not seen before. John, hope it answers your question.

    Looking at the schematic, looks like you need some more wiring on your ing sw bypass. should have 2 seperate circuits 1- red, brown/black, brown/blue all connected together 2-blue/yellow, blue/black connected together- this is the safety interlock circuit

    83 does not have electric antidive

    I went out and preformed the same test I am asking you to do. should be close, 83strd vs 83 royal. I turned off my added fog lights and radio. Headlight Low beam. Think only major item different is I have no CLASS powering up. Running Batteries Plus AGM. Has not been run or charged for 1 week. key off=12.44v key on=12.06v cranking=10.8v started real quick, but lowest # I saw idle=13.1v after stable for about 1 minute high idle=13.9v We can compare #s when you get yours, and try to figure out if you really have electrical problem, and if so where to start looking. As for DMM, dont waste on cheap $10 at harbor freight. Plan on at least $40. Make sure leads come with both probes and gaterclips. If you have the money and want the best I like Fluke 77 series, but Sears, Radioshack, etc sell some decent ones. Almost all meters have, but make sure DC volts, AC volts, OHMS, DC amps/miliamps, AC amps/miliamps. Quick test in store: lowest OHMS scale, short the leads, very low (.1) steady reading, repeat for same reading. May or may not be adjustable to zero the reading out. If so zero it and repeat.

    assuming the problem is not in the switch, then the likely culprit is the cancel unit. Simple test- just unplug it (if ya can find it). Behind RH fairing. Can barley be seen thru removed right turn lamp housing down low and rear. long skinney black rubber coated.

    Before throwing , I usually do some testing first. My first question would be, what is battery voltage when measured with a quality digital multimeter (DMM) measured directly across the battery posts during... a. prior to start key off b. prior to start key on c. during starting/cranking d. during idle-~900rpm e. during high rpm ~3000rpm. Based on these readings we may determine if no electrical problem at all, weak battery, or problem with charging system. If needed then additional electrical tests can be completed, again with a quality DMM. If you don't have one that would be the first place I would spend , but likely can find a local friend with one.

    Suggest get battery load tested. If volts drop during idle, as they should, enough to affect idle preformance-likely ignition, then I suspect low capacity battery. A new regulator will not help with a low capacity battery, as it does not charge at idle anyways. Need to be above ~2000rpm for charging.

    Lot of info can be found on web, "awg vs amps". Involves type of wire, lenght of wire, type of insulation, if wrapped in bundle, etc. I usually round out as follows for my personel wiring, and within reason, try to double needed amp rating. 22awg=5amps 20awg=10amps 18awg=15amps 16awg=20amps 14awg=30amps 12awg=40amps 10awg=50amps As bongobobny stated, 2-55w lights would require about 10 amps ([2x55w]/12v=9.17a), double this requirement, I would chose 16awg good for 20amps.

    I missed that this was for RSV, but should work same principle http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=63802

    see attached pdf I provided link for radio shack relay, but is in fact not the one I used- and not sure where I got the one I used but the one I used is rated 12vdc 10a, and radio shack link I provided is 12vdc 1a. Not strong enough contact rating for incandescent bulbs, as all power goes thru this relay contact as well as the ep29 flasher which is rated for 20a. any spdt 12v relay will work if contacts rated at least 10a. I also need to rethink the resistor option, as upon review I propose placing it direct from ep29 to ground, and this would continusly provide the .02a sense current for the ep29, causing the ep29 to flash all the time, although the turns would not flash as they are open at the turn switch. Unnecessary wear on the ep29. I suspect a resistor would not even be required in any pratical install, but if it was required, the value would have to be experimented with at an amount greater than 600 ohms, so that the load of the actual turns plus the value of the resistor would cause .02a load, but the resistor buy itself(turns off) would create less than .02a load (higher resistance). As example: a 1K(1000)ohm resistor would provide a .012a load,and if the turn lights provided at least .008a load, then all would be fine for the ep29, and the resistor would consume .14w, so a 1/4w resistor would work fine with safety margin. 60880.pdf

    Yes I have. Basically I took an off the shelf autoparts flasher designed for LED, and added a relay to receive autocancel signal, removing power from the flasher. Little more involved, as I made a PCB with spade pins to plug into stock flasher connector, and had to run a spare ground wire for the added relay coil. Will try to take pics and do writeup this weekend.

    GREAT! Better throttle response than ever. Just plug and play, other than trying to destroy my brand new MAP sensor, (reconnecting MAP connector reversed after disconnecting for routing of wires).

    I found a satelliteguys.us forum, and looks like DISH may have lost satellite #129, effecting easten arc. States they are working on it. I have no clue how they may resolve this if the satellite is actually dead.

    Been out about 1-1/2 hr, not a cloud in the sky, 800# goes straight busy, and web site will not open.

    Heres pics of my stock radio without cassette.

    When we deployed our army helos overseas, we shrinkwraped them same as above prior to loading on a ship. Aluminum airframes don't like salt water/air. quite an exercise to watch, an deployment. We have also done deployments overseas by airforce cargo planes, trucks in c141's and helos in c5/c17's. For this even more teardown, for the CH47 the entire rear pylon needs to come off, but no shrink wrap. Regular Army typically does not fly direct overseas, due to the serious # of hours that would be placed on the aircraft, then all the parts that would need replaced because they were at their lifetime hour limits (TBO-time between overhaul), engines, rotor blades, transmissions,etc. Maybe Canada forces deploying somewhere? Sucks coming into combat zone and have to put all these helo's back together again before you can start missions. Came into port in Mogidisu Somelia, and off load aircraft from ships, then reassembled on the docks, working 24-7. At night under tower lights. One night sniper rounds started bounching off the docks, killed the lights, called it a night and let the Marines go looking for the sniper. Thank god for the Marines!

    Well I just tried to blow up my brand new $250 ingitech ingtion unit today. Unpluged the brand new MAP sensor to route the wiring into the cowling, the proceded to plug up the "murphy proof" connector backwards. Then power everything up and try to figure out why its not responding correctly. Lucked out and no damage, and bike runs like a screaming eagle!

    Brian F. I think Brian T. is talking about the actual enrichers/plungers in the carbs, not the control. Brian K.

    Likely all you can do is repair cold solder joints simular to the thread http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=33328 If the actual chip was blown due to improper resistor mod, than you are probably.....blown.

    Did you have to loosen the radiator overfill bottle to get the hazard switch out? Might be one of the bottle mount tab bolts.
  23. bkuhr
    What type of bike? Main fuse typically very near + post on battery.
  24. bkuhr
    Very nice Looks like temp gauge needle is below stop pin in last pic.

    For most part I agree, but a device that requires more amps than the charger can deliver will cause, at best case a drop of the 5volt level. Most smart devices will detect this improper charging voltage, and seperate themselves from the source. Dumb devices will continue to use this lower voltage, at risk of damage to the device or charger. attached intersting read for electrophobes http://pinouts.ru/Slots/USB_pinout.shtml http://www.girr.org/mac_stuff/usb_stuff.html
