After running a while and shutting off. Difficulty restarting

Going to take another ride and check . What module and where is it located?

Had my 88 apart a few times. Your post is excellent and I checked everything you mentioned. If still not working where do I look next? Thanks again.

How can I get the correct paint color for my bike. Had to rebuild left side fairing did a repaint with colors I thought were close. But really dont like it. Anybody with info out there? Thanks . Its white and cream I think. 1988 white DU Creamy White/ Ceramic Ivory Taken from definitive color chart. Our post. I think these are the colors.

Wow. Thanks for all the info guys. I have a lot of checking yo do.

I know this is an old thread, but still having some issues. When it gets warm tends to idle erratically to the point where it may die. Temp gage only a little above normal. Is there a way to have the fan actuate at a lower temp ?

Great advice fellas. Thanks a bunch . St.

While removing rear wheel for tire change, removed rear caliper and noticed it has 4 pistons. 2 aren't moving causing pads to wear very unevenly. Thick on end where no motion and thin on end still working. Can I rebuild the caliper? How difficult is it? Who has parts? Would I be better off getting another caliper if possible?

Great bunch in the club .

Ok guys. You know your stuff. Re soldered all nine pins coming off plug and unbelievably the system is now working. Thanks so much for all your input. Great bunch in this cub.

Had an E4 error . Bought used compressor assembly , replaced still getting an E4. Unplugged everything, still get ting an E4. What gives ? Does anybody have a layman's procedure of troubleshooting this system ?

Hey guys, had an E4 error . Got a complete replacement unit from Michigan motorcycle sakvage. Installed it, still Getting an E4 error, any help would be appreciated.

All the lights come on at speed (60). Does not engage.

Where is the cruise control module thst is behind the headlight? What color are the wires? Is there a troubleshooting guide somewhere on this forum?

Is it possible that I have some other problem? Lights still brighter than normal, volt meter pegged at 4000 rpm. Checked voltage at battery showing 13.5 to 14.5 volts even at 4000 rpm. Note this is with bike sitting. Seems like something else is going on when riding. Any thoughts?

Found a probe with my digital multimeter. Low battery equals erroneous display . All good now thanks .

Thanks will check it. Supposedly rectifier is brand new . Wonder if my volt meter is screwy? Anyway will check it out ,thanks .

Replaced the rectifier yesterday . This morning on way to work, noticed Volt meter pegged ,lights seem unusually bright. Do I have a problem?

I did use epoxy and fiberglass on the backside of repair Knowing that super glue will not hold up to vibration . Used superglue only to position the pieces

Hey Guys, Checked valve clearances yesterday, all within .001. Also pulled left side main fairing off, needing to check cabling for carbs and cruise control. Fairing is coming apart in small pieces especially at the bend that comes off the radio and down by the knee. Superglued it back together from the top and then fiberglassed the inside. Seems to be ok, anybody else run into this? What else can be done other than replacement? Thanks

Oh yeah, sorry, but to respond to your questions: Didn't notice anything strange going on with the tach and no discharge below engine after riding when parked. Only happening when temp gage goes above half. Thanks again

Wow, you guys are an awesome group, so glad I joined. I will start with the easier fixes first. I had the carbs rebuilt about a year ago , so will rule carb issues out at this point. Thanks again fellas.

Hi guys, I have a 1988 Venture Royale that runs fine when cold and as long as the temp gage shows it's at or below the halfway point. In warmer weather it seems OK until I need to stop for say a red light, thats when I notice the temp gage go above half and the bike starts to run poorly, sputtering upon acceleration from a stop but seems to clear up when the tach gets up to 3 grand. Any ideas on what's going on? Have changed coolant with no help. Thanks Ed

I have a 1988 Venture Royale. Just noticed that I don't have a taillight. Checked wiring harness, replaced bulbs, contacts are clean. The dash computer shows no faults upon start up. Any idea what is wrong. Noticed it while at Road America last weekend for vintage bike racing. It was awesome. Thanks Ed

changed plugs and added seafoam seems to be much better thanks
