    Thanks. Got it going again. The switch was bad apparantly. Took the switch off, straight wired it, and it started right up, so I guess i'll be looking for a new starter button. Thanks again.

    Ok, I have a problem. I go out today to go for a ride. Turn the ignition on, press the starter button, and nothing happens. The starter won't even click. When I rode last week, it was fine. I ended up working 70 hours this week and today was the first time i've been able to take it out. So, can someone tell me how to determine what the problem is. If it's the starter button itself or something between there and the starter. I thought the battery so I charged it up and still nothing. Thanks guys for the help.

    Thanks Earl! It has one mounting tab broken off. I think i'm gonna go ahead and get it though, just wanted to make sure it would fit properly since it's off a 93. Thanks again!

    It looks the same, but before I buy it I wanna make sure. It says it's off an 83 xvz13 and I have an 83 xvz12. Thanks guys! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350234041485&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

    Thanks guys. Yeah, I plan on repainting them. The problem with the ones I have now is whoever had the bike before used sheet metal and bondo and put all the pieces together. Problem is they didn't do a very good job and the bondo looks like crap. I have already bought the 2 side covers. I know it's gonna be hard to get good "unbroken" pieces, but anything right now. I can fix the mounting brackets (hopefully), and get them to stay on. So thanks for the help guys. Clint

    Hey guys. I'm looking for the 2 front upper fairings and the 2 front lower farings. I've been looking on ebay alot, haven't been able to find anything. If you guys have any spares laying around you'd be willing to sale, i'd really appreciate it. Thanks guys!

    Hey guys. Curious as to how I remove the front and rear fender. On the front it looks ok. Have to remove the bracket between the forks and then there are two bolts on each side that bolt into the forks. Is that all I need to remove to get the front fender off? As for the rear fender, I havent even taken a look yet. I'm painting the bike right now. I've already done the saddlebags, trunk, and the left side of the body. I had to buy a replacement piece for the right side so i'm waiting on it to get here. thanks guys!

    Well, i'm not sure if I need to bleed it or not. I have to press the pedal way down, way beyond where it should be, but I have brakes. Can I adjust the brakes using the threaded rod there behind the pedal? Thanks

    Hey guys. I'm curious as to wether or not this back rest will fit my bike. It's an 83 Venture. I know this ad says 86 to 93 but I know a lot of these parts are interchangable. Thanks guys. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/YAMAHA-VENTURE-ROYALE-CHROME-DRIVERS-BACK-REST_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem45f156b184QQitemZ300401734020QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

    Thanks guys. Got the screw out with the drill. Filled up the resevior. Now all warning lights are out for the time being I don't actually think I need to bleed the brake lines. I have brakes, but I have to push the pedal waaayyyy down past where it should be. I noticied the threaded bolt at the back of the pedal. Can I adjust this to raise the brake pedal up? I hope this makes sense. thanks guys!

    Awesome, thanks so much. I will do that, either tomorrow or Saturday, i'm not sure yet which day i'm gonna be able to get to it. I really appreciate it though!

    Thanks to everyone for the help. All the problems I was having before are fixed for the time being and the bike is starting easily and running good. So here I go with the next problem. I have no pressure on the foot brake. I plan on bleeding the brakes tomorrow sometime to try to fix it. So if I have researched correctly, I need to bleed the rear brake caliper first, and then the left front caliper, correct? Then the right front. The only other thing I need some info about is the master cylinder lid on the front brake master cylinder. There are 2 phillips head screws holding the lid on. One of the screws is completely stripped and I can't get it out. What do you all think is the best way to get this thing out? Thanks everyone!

    Ok, so I saw the thread in the library about the battery bypass. I found what I think is the right wire. It's right behind the battery bow, and is white with a red stripe. Problem is the actual sensor is not there, it's been unplugged from the wire. The plastic connector is on the wire, but the sensor wire is missing. So am I looking at the right wire? And if so, how do I bypass it from there with the sensor wire missing? Thanks for the help guys.
