    hello everyone thanks for all the info i am still trying but she still want idle. is there any where you can get the tci unit checked and rebuilt are is there any way for me to check it. what I cant understand is why the tack drops to 0 unless there is a elec problem.the min. the tack drops she starts back fireing and idle rough it still runs but it starts loading up bad . I pulled the plugs a couple times after i ran it and all but the #1 plug were wet with gas and black #1 wasnt as bad but it had a little on it. thanks for all the help Darrell

    yes I put the tci in the oven for about 45 min, I will pull the covers off the carbs in the moring and soak them intill sunday moring and try that. when I pulled them befor I checked the diaph.s they all looked good I held them up to a bright and did not see any holes are marks on them .all of them looked like they were fairly new.Could anyone tell me what the plug number would be for resistor plug .would it be better to get resistor caps or replace the little resistor with a peace of cooper wire. thanks motorhead

    Its been a while be for I could work on the bike due to work . after draining the bowles and cleani ng all the electric plug conn. and the run stop switch. I restarted the bike and was watching the sliders in the carb. they were all moving back and forth i noticed that the #2 carb was dupping mor gas into the carb than the rest were i pulled all the plugs and they looked like they were all runing rich they had fuel on them dose this sound like a carb sinc. prolblem thats not letting it idle. also pulled the plug wires and replaced them while checking the the plug conn for the spark plug i pulled the reisister out and the white coating was flakeing off I saw on a thread were someone had put resistor plugs in and re placesed the little resistor with a number 10 copper wire is this a good idea ? and if so what is the number for the resistor plus. bike is still not idling thanks for all the help motorhead.

    it will smooth out at about 1500 rpms and run good but when you let off it will hold the 1000 rpm idle for a few seconds and then the tack will drop to 0 and it starts back firing. I ran some seafoam thru it but I did not drain the bouls yet because i did not know where to drain them. thanks Darrell

    hello still having idling problem I went down the list of things to check. I resoldered the pins on the tci, removed the stop switch and cleaned it. took all the conectors aprt and cleaned them, changed the plug wires and plugs but it still want idle.It starts and runs when the choke is on,but when it warms up and the choke shuts off and it starts to idle the tack drops to 0 and it starts to back fire thru the tail pipe it will idle but is very low all most the point where it shuts off. on the road it runs good but when you let off to stop the tack will drop and it starts the backfiring. when I am idling it seems to be loading up bad you get a lot of fumes from the tail pipe. Is there some way to check the tci box to see if it is bad.I would like to try that before I take it to the shop. around here its so costly they want your right arm and your first born. thanks alot Darrell

    Hi I am still hunting down my idleing promblem did find that plug wires were bad number 2 is now firing. I removed the tci and checked the plugs looked ok cleaned them up, I saw on a thread about resoildering the unit I look but could not find it, can anyone tell where it is are how you would do it. I took the top off but didnt go any deeper do you have to take the board out and if so how would you get it out, kind of nervise about it But got to learn some day. I want to relocate it to top of air box but the wires dont look long enough.am I not seeing all the wire. thanks for all the help Darrell

    Hello I am back, on my 88vr I am still having idleing problem when you first start it and when it reaches operating temp. It will idle for a second and then the tack will drop to 0 the engine will still idle but it very low and it will start backfireing thru the tail pipe. when you throttle up it will pop a little and then smooth out when you let go of the throttle it will drop back to 1000 rpm for a second and then drop to 0 and start backfiring. Squeese told me to check for vac. leak around base of carb. I checked this with brake cleaner srayed around each one but it seemed ok no rev. The hoses from the top of the carbs into the air box two of them are a little loose where they go into the box should I seal them will they cause any problem? running down the highway it runs fine. I checked the diaphrams in all 4 carbs no holes they looked new. I have only had the bike for 3 weeks when I first got it, it idled fine iI ran sea foam thru it when I first got it. when I pulled the cover to check the diph. it looked like ther was some oil on the diphrams. I think theres to much oil in it on the sight glass it is all the way to the top is it suppose to be that full? Its been about20 years since i have had A bike I have to learn how to work on them agine. can anyone tell me where I can order a service Manual for this bike. I will be asking a lot of question on here I hope you all dont get tired of me. thanks alot motorhead 704

    just purchesed a 1988 royal I am new to yamaha and dont know to much about them. new to internet to so my spelling will be bad. after riding for a couple days, the rpm drop to o when I am setting at a red light and it starts back firing. Give it some gas and it runs fine. It runs fine downd the road no missing or back fireing. could this be the diaphram in the carb or could it be electical. where can I find a service for it.I have been reading alot of the threads on this sight and sure helps I am glad I joined. thanks Motorhead 704
