  1. hello guys.... That's exactly why I decided not to disclose the dealerships I went to...I did went to Stadium Yamaha as well as other 2 diffrent dealers in the Dallas-FW area...(I live in grand prairie, a dallas suburb) Please do not take me wrong...I have nothing against dealers; specially since this is my first time I needed to go to a yamaha dealer..... This is my first yamaha bike, so I do not have much to say, just descreived what I went tru.... It seems that is a regular practice for a dealer to give certain price if you go to the physical location; it is more expensive (twice in my case) and it takes longer (twice as well), against ordering online from the same dealer's website...Nothing wrong with it, even big stores often have diffrent online pricing.... Joe
  2. Today I finally get the part from my Yamaha dealer and the bike is now working fabulous, as it should....Thanks again to all of you that gave me advice and opinions...It is still on the jack, if weather is fine tomorrow I will take a ride on it!!! Hope this tread helps somebody else in my position.... PS: I have a BRAND SPANKING NEW left lower fairing for this bike, black, never installed, still in original package, former owner paid 280 for it, I do not need it, so I will put it for sale at half the price.... just for all of you to know.... Thanks again.....
  3. Thanks FRANK, Thanks RAGTOP. About the diodes: I agree, Frank, they are only "general purpose" diodes, but when the get burn also the board was damaged and I could not figure it out the right orientation of them.... besides the whole relay assembly cost me $30....still waiting for it though...I check several sites trying to find the diagram for this particular assembly with no luck..... I have nothing against dealers, but when I went to my local dealer asking for the relay, they gave me a price of $65 plus tax, they did not had it in stock so I had to wait 2 weeks......so I went home start looking online and find this part for $28 IN THE SAME DEALER WEBSITE!!!!!! I ordered and they told me will take 5-7 days....pretty crazy huuuu ? RAGTOP I hope you are wrong...lol.... I hope this relay will solve my problem, I will post it here....as for the fuses....I do not know why the former owner installed the wrong ones.... it is clearly labeled in the fuse box.... my theory is that when I tryied the Cruise Control, THEN the diodes (there are two blown diodes) overheat until blown... i do not know, at this point is all about faith....lol... I agree with you about GOOSE..... very knoledgeable guy.... Im also grateful with DINGY...Thanks guys.
  4. Thanks GOOSE..I finally found the relay assembly, it was located in front of the battery, in between the battery and the heads of the engine, hidden by some covers.... I ordered the part from a local dealer but it will take a week or so to get it....so I opened the case of the relay assembly, and found the diodes causing the problem, 2 diodes actually. I tryied to get the diodes from the electronic base and replace them, but they were totally burned I can't read the value.....soooooo have to wait :-( I had an experience like this on an RV motorhome, with the AC units, same case: wrong fuses blown the diodes, after crazy cuotes ($600-$1000) to fixit I decided to do it myself, at a cost of 16 cents!!! yes 16 cents was the total cost of fixing the AC units.... Thanks again to you and all the other members that helped me...I will keep you posted.
  5. UPDATE: This is another reason why me and I believe all of us try to fix things for ourselves: I do not fully trust dealers!!! I went to a Yamaha dealer in Dallas, ask for the diode in the diagram, if they have it in stock, their answer was: "That diode is inside the main harness, is not designed to be changed!!!!"....OMG...they gave me an estimate of more than $2,000 labor only to replace the hole harness, I admit they told me it might be something easier....so I left and decided to check with diffrent dealer, close to dallas, their answer was that that diode is not showing in any of their diagrams!!!!...They told me the closest thing to it might be the "Side Stand relay assembly", which is located next to the main fuse box (?) ; and this time they actually showme they expoded parts diagram and it is actually labeled like that, part number 5KS-91952-00-00.... so I came back even more confused... parts are not that expensive, but I feel like they have not are telling the truth....anyway I found this page with a drawing close to what I saw at the dealership: http://arcticcat.twincountymotorsports.com/fiche_section_detail.asp?section=1716129&category=Motorcycles&make=YAMAHA&year=2011&fveh=50782 showing a diode next to the fuse box, but its a 2009 bike, mine does not have such diode. I guess I will have to test all those electric little boxes and relays.....Any thoughts?..thanks:depressed:
  6. I can gladly can tell that I just get my subscription to this helpful forum....I did not espect to find such knoledgeable people in here!!!! Thanks to all of you that have expressed your interest in my thread.... GOOSE, DINGY: I have traced so far the blue/white wire from the ss connector; I have traced it up to the main harness in the back/under the gas thank, apparentely it goes under de battery cage; have not found the damm dioded yet...!!!! There are so many wires in such a small space!! while doing the trace, I found that the fuse box,under the seat, letf side has wrong amp fuses: it has 20 amp fuses where it is suppose to have 15amp!!! So I hope that the wrong fuses have blown the diode(I had an experience before in my RV AC motherboard unit, wrong fuses blown a diode)....Does somebody knows where this DIODE is located????.... I have a strong feeling thats the cause of this behavior (thanks of course to your help)....most of the wires runs under the ignitor unit: pretty hard to access...as always, any help will be appreciated....thanks:depressed:
  7. GOOSE: You are very very good at this....I failed to mention that when this problem start, I was riding the bike without the left down faring since it is damaged and decided to ride it like that while new arrives....will try my best to trace the diode and follow your instructions...I have restricted time to work on my bike and will try to trace the wires as soon as I can.... ....Thank you very much...
  8. THANKS GOOSE:I just did the tests (I numbered your test in the quote above :depressed:as a reference): Neut light works, after I engage a shift (By the way, I can feel it does engage fine, and release fine too, so no clutch locked), neut light goes off.... 1st test: Neut light goes off when I engage a shift, and remains off when stand is up or down... 2nd test: Starter does NOT ENGAGE under this conditions. 3rd test : Does not engage either... Thanks
  9. WOOOW VGOOSE!!!!! Very explicit material here....I will do that as soon as I can I will keep you posted.... Actually, Im not that bad in using the multimeter, but, honestly, the answer DINGY gave me get me totally confused because I was desesperate (could not think right)!!!!....DO NOT TAKE ME WRONG... Im very very grateful with DINGY and everybody else.... Y'ALL GUYS ARE GREAT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH... You are correct, I do not have the manual but trying to get one.... I know there is a diode somewhere in the circuit, I have measures diodes before, my problem is that I have it found it physically in the harness....I will do it as soon as I can....
  10. Thanks OWEN... Acually I had the bike in a jack, with the rear wheel in the air... I will try anything!!! I will feel real bad if I have to take the bike to a dealer (both for the money and because I do not want to feel like I can do nothing..lol)... Clutch locked???mmmm... I have doubts about the clutch switch, since the wires are a little loose there, but I double check the wiring with the diagram that DINGY sent me... how do I know if the clutch is locked?...thanks again!!!
  11. Gary: Im attaching some pics of the actual readings, and also how I found the cruise control switch... Please note that the "1" reading is the same if both probes are not touching each other, and 0 or 00.5 (depending scale)if they do touch... I've got a "1" reading when sidestand is down Thanks
  12. Ok, Gary... I double check the side stand switch and it does what is suppose to.... I also dissasembled the CControl switch, especting to see some shorted or rusted cable or connector, it actually looks pretty clean, all the little box (acceletate/desacelerate, cancel, on/off switches)... I did unplug the battery while doing this... double check the connectors on the clutch switch, seem ok... this bike does not have a side-stand light indicator, right?.... Symtoms are the same: it starts right away while in neutral, not matter side stand position, and die immediatly if shift to 1st or 2nd gear... the days before this I did not feel anything wrong with the clutch or brakes.... Some toughts?....thanks again... Joe:depressed:
  13. Thanks againg DINGY !! I have not had time to work on it for a few days, but I will dedicate now to it... it is frustrating that it was running fine and it stopped now... OK, I test continuity form the switch and with the stand retracted(in riding mode) it gave me 00.0 ohms when set to a 20Mohms scale, and 00.4ohms in a 200ohms scale.....gave me 1 with side down!!! is that correct? I thought 1 (reading) means open, since it is what it shows when 2 tester cables are apart, and zero when you put it together.... Anyway, bike shut down with the connector (there is a male-female connector from switch to main harness) unplugged and neutral light on. I also tried putting together the 2 wires from conector to harness.... Im attaching a raw drawing of the wiring, since I probably did not explained right... Any help will be appreciated
  14. Thanks, DINGY and TOY!!! I will try that this weekend and let you know my progress.... in the circuir diagram that DINGY sent me, it shows an "EMERGENCY STOP SENSOR (FALL)".... I would like to check that too, since this bike was layed down for the former owner....somebody know where that sensor is?.... thanks in advance Royal Star Tour de Luxe, 2005...
