Without the vaccum changes, the module should run though, right ? This one doesn't fire at all. Is there a way to test a module ?
-
I ask because I got a used one at a local salvage and the bike doesn't run at all. With mine, it just runs poorly. Can I use a TCI from 84+ on an 83 ? Phil

Taking the bike into the dealer tomorrow. If it is the TCI module, how much do these things go for ? Am I better off getting an e-bay module or that one from overseas that is programmable ? Has anyone got one that works for sale ? Phil

I'm near Ottawa, Ontario. About 300 miles from Arcade, NY.

So I put the TCI module back in and fired it up. Same result as before. Next I checked the pickup coils. I took 4 readings as I wasn't sure if there are actually 2 coils with 2 windings or 4 coils. Below are the wire colors and measured resistances. O to B wire = 116.4 ohms Gy to B wire = 116.8 ohms W/G to B wire = 124.4 ohms W/R to B wire = 116.6 ohms The range is supposed to be 93.5 to 126.5 ohms. These readings seem ok to me. So, what next ? Any ideas ? Phil

Thanks guys, I'll give the small screw and washer trick a try first. Once I have it where I want it, it doesn't need to move. Cheers.

If anyone has one that is in good condition, I'd be interested in it. Mine doesn't stay in the position you put it in. It has worn itself out, I guess. Phil

Looking for Center Stand spring bracket
pmaier replied to pmaier's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Actually, turns out it isn't triangular. Looked at the online part diagram. It's part # "25 26H-27115-00-00 LINK, main stand . . . . ." on page 67 of the parts manual you can find in the forum links to manuals. It's got a hole at either end and has a curved shape to it, kinda like a "J" I guess. Weird looking at any rate. Phil -
Hey gang, The guy I bought the bike off of had the center stand tied up to the frame with a hose clamp. Turned out the spring and triangular shaped bracket were missing. I got the spring, but Yamaha doesn't make the plate anymore. Does someone know where I can get one, or would be kind enough to give me enough specs to make one myself. The center stand is much nicer when you want to work on the bike. Thanks, Phil

So to give an update. All connections on the coils and the TCI looked dry. Took out the TCI and cracked the case, looked dry, but put it in the oven as recommended anyway. Measured the resistance according to the shop manual on the coils and the results are as follows: Primary coil (should be 2.7ohms +- 10%) cyl 1 - 3.1 cyl 2 - 3.1 cyl 3 - 3.1 cyl 4 - 3.2 Secondary coil (should be 13.2 kohms +- 20%) cyl 1 - 11.96 cyl 2 - 12.40 cyl 3 - 12.40 cyl 4 - 12.10 Plug Wires (should be 10 kohms +- 10%) cyl 1 - 5.04 cyl 2 - 4.59 cyl 3 - 4.34 cyl 4 - 4.57 (note all the plug wires appears low, but they are all similar. The plug wires do look original.) Does the above seem to ring true or false to anyone ? Once I finish baking the TCI module, I'll assemble the bike and let you know the results. Phil

I suppose u mean for the electrical connections.

Didn't see any other posts similar to my issue, so here it goes. Long story short, last summer moved the bike to new place. Garage was cluttered, so it sat outside for 2 days. Rain on one of them. After that, the bike would idle, but as soon as you tried to give it gas, it would act as if it were limited at 1500 rpm. When that happens, the tach drops to zero. Let off the gas, tach comes back. Didn't have time to ride last year so I left it. Well it still does it. Pulled the battery out and looked at the connects on the TCI and they are dry and not excessively dirty or corroded. New plugs and there seems to be spark on all 4 although the two rear plugs I pulled out were wet. Any suggestions ? I have the shop manual and it basically says to check the resistance on the coils and if that's not it, replace the TCI. I'm in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It's nice today and I'd really like to ride again. Please help ! Phil
