i have an 83 venture I lost the speedometer a while ago. It started jumping so I lubed the cable, thinking it was running dry. It stopped for a bit, then it started again. This time it started making a loud noise also. Then quit working all together. I removed the dash to find the inside drum on the speedometer was broke. So i purchased a used one because that speedometer is now obsolete. Well it worked for a year, and then started doing the same thing. So again I have no speedometer, and the used ones are very pricey. Any ideas on retro or how to reslove this issue

I am having troubles with my venture I believe it is a connection issue but not sure where to check looking for clues. When idling the tach drops out, and the front two cylinders are not firing. As the rpm's come up they will, but as soon as it comes back down they stop. know there is a big issue with tci as it is located under the battery. I have cleaned the post, and connections there. Just need to know where else to go to. Any ideas would be great. Need to ride,but on full power.

i am riding again thanks to all your help:thumbsup2:
-
relay never clicks. energized or not. had dealer check it says it is bad. new one on order. thank you for all the help it would have taken me a lot longer to figure this out. THANKS GOES OUT TO: Squeeze, painterman67, KB2RWW, Yammar Dan, bkuhr, Dano, Stevej, Dingy, mbrood i am putting it back together except for top fo front ferring so i can put the relay in, i might sneak a ride in also.
-
wow relays are not cheap by any means . that relay runs 75.00, but i get no reaction from it stand down or up
-
you r right and if i bypass this then what is next. no sense haveing a nice ride if it is jery riged. i must remember i am not rednecking this ride lol
-
the dash works like it should lit when the stand is down and off when up. so can i just bypass the relay
-
how do i bypass switch i can't just unhook it
-
it is the relay in the headlight bucket. thank you for the info on the side stand switch i will check that tonight
-
the number on relay 4 u b. now fuel relay is constantly clicking. going to try replacing them tomarrow. it is getting dark and tough to see. i hate electrical
-
4 u b is the relay no clicking side stand up or down. in gear or not.
-
if i remove the relay and hook up the d pin to tci it runs. i hate wiring shorts. so could relay be bad. causing short.
-
what is the downside to taping off the d in to the tci. i can not find out where the short is the indicator on the gauge works like it should on and off with side stand. the tip switch works like it should. but somewhere i am grounding out still.
-
as long as i leave black wire out it runs. can i unplug the switches and see if it changes. or is it possible a bare wire, somewhere causing all this. i found the tip switch. i unhooked it no change. so still chaseing wires
-
it is running again.now for the fun of finding the short. at least i know where to check now. then to put it all back together. going to be a long day tomorrow. but well worth it so i can ride again.
-
unpinned d like you said. it lives. so i have a ground problem in the side stand correct. so tomarow i look for a short. then put it back together. i will wait on the second gear problem till winter. i am just skipping it for now. it will take a little more time to fix that one.' thank you for all the advise and guidance. i hope to do a venture ride soon it looks like a lot of fun.

actually thought about taking my sons kz1100 for a ride. but he needs a new back tire.
-
i am going into with drawls. i have not been able to ride for week and a half. i need my daily fix.
-
when my kill switch is engaged it won't crank.
-
that is why i thought it wierd everyone i have talked to says you usually don't lose them all at once. or without warning. i rode it the night before went out the next day and would not start. cranked and cranked. so i wondered at first if i flooded it.so i let it set, but it did no good. pulled back plugs and nothing. no spark. i was told it could be a grounding problem. so i pulled the batt. and checked for continuity between ground wire and coil ground. it was good all of them. cranked with side stand down in gear, and in neutral. clutch in and out. bike on main stand, level. it is just strange no indication at all of any problem.
-
i dont want to be done riding, but if i start taking it apart i may as well fix the back end and the second gear problem while i have it down, but i really don't want to be done riding for the year. i know it will be for the best. so now i will tear it down and have it painted so next year when the time comes it will be ready.
-
still no luck all switches test good. i am not sure where or how to get to the tci. according to what i have read i have to take the battery and half the top off to get to it. is that why they say to relocate it.
-
no just bought bike a year ago and am in process of fixing little things. it turns over fine but no spark. i was told a ground problem could cause that. i have checked all cylinders no spark to any. so i am going to test ground and tci. kill, tip and shift, all cause bike to not turn over.
-
i have an 83 i believe that is first generation. i have no spark on any cylender. was told could be ground. going to start by checking ground and then proceed to tci. any other suggestions. bike ran fine then just would not start. i just recently replaced the guage asssembly but it ran fine for a week after that
