wiring 97 palomino edition

What wiring harnesses will work on that model and where is the best place cheapest place to find one -
I recently purchased an Electrical Connection's sub harness, isolator and lighting distribution block for my 2018 Yamaha Star Venture. The reason I purchased this was to install an under glow kit with brake and turn signal functionality. For the turn signal feature of the under glow kit the lights turn amber and blink (only the side that corresponds with the turn signal the other side turns off). For the brake feature of the under glow kit all lights turn to red when the brake is applied, once the brake is released the color reverts back to the selected color. I have followed the installation instructions for the sub harness, isolator, and lighting distribution block. Once that was installed I connected the under glow kit using the "accessory light wiring" section of the lighting distribution block installation instructions. The initial results are as follows: When the bike is off the color of the under glow kit is green, which is the selected color. When the bike is turned on the color of the under glow kit immediately turns red, as if the brake has been applied. Also the turn signal feature does not work at all. In trouble shooting, without the help of a multimeter or test light, I have found the following: If I disconnect the blue brake wire on the under glow kit from the lighting distribution block then when the bike is turned on the color of the under glow kit stays green until the turn signal feature is engaged at that point it works as desired. The lights turn amber and blink (only the side that corresponds with the turn signal the other side turns off). Once the turn signal is disengaged then the color reverts back to green. To make sure the blue brake wire of the under glow kit was not the issue, I hooked it into the left signal side of the lighting distribution block. This was the result: When the bike is off the color of the under glow kit is green, which is the selected color. When the bike is turned on the color of the under glow kit stays green until the turn left turn signal signal feature is engaged at that point it works like this The left side lights turn red and blink. Once the turn signal is disengaged then the color reverts back to green. This tells me that the blue brake wire to the under glow kit is fine. My thought is that the lighting Distribution block has constant power coming in on the blue brake wire. Following that line of thought I am wondering if the front brake switch, which I received a recall notice on is truly faulty and causing this. I am awaiting a multimeter to get more detailed data. I would like your thoughts on this, any assistance would be appreciated. -
Tech wiring question: I just bought a used Kriss headlight modulator and it modulates on low beam. I'd like to switch this to high beam but not sure how, especially since one end is plug and play on the bulb. Anyone know?

All, I bought a new (Harbor Freight Tag Along) trailer to tow behind my 1986 Venture Royale. Trailer has 1 wire for running lights, 1 wire for right brake light AND right turn signal, 1 wire for left brake light AND left turn signal and 1 wire for ground. The trailer I had been borrowing had 2 wires for the turn signals (right and left) and one wire for the brake lights , one for running lights and a ground wire. If I try to run a turn signal and brake light on the same wire I'm not so sure it will work, because my '86 uses a separate wire for each turn signal. Do I need to rewire the trailer or is there an adaptor device that will allow me to keep the stock trailer wiring and not fry my bike wiring? Thanks for any advice you can give. Bob -
Part 1 of 4 ? Hi there, so this write-up is about our Venture Royal, the work behind it, what it took to not just get her back to running condition, but rather get her back to the responsive touring bike I’ve read (had yet to experience) she is! First things I did was try to ready it the 1st season for a short trip up and in BC with my boys. I went through the wiring one plug at a time; things seemed to be in pretty good shape! What I like about doing this with a “new to me bike” is that it formularises me with the systems and what might go wrong, where it is located and in a pinch if need be, I can sort through a problem quickly while on the road! Next I move on to the brakes and suspension, here is some of what I did: Drained ALL the hydraulic fluids- brakes, clutch, forks, and “fork air lines” Chained out the front springs with some I had from another project Changed the brake pads front and rear Change the dif oil, Changed steering stem bearings Disassembled the air control panel, cleaned with contact chemical Replaced burnt lights and fuses Replaced the tires Changed out the handle grips for 1” rubber/chrome type, I need the larger grips as my R/hand is a rebuilt unit. Some 30 years back I had a one on one with a hydrant;( You know they said it was my fault? Even though I assured them I wasn’t the fool that placed it there? Hydrants go on the inside of a bend! Not the outside of a bend!( Lubed the drive shaft spline with synthetic grease- I have come to respect the synthetic grease for each application where grease is called for; it stays put, stays bright in color, resists washing out- even when exposed to solvents, and in my experience maintains a cooler bearing, and also important is that it remains consistent- I add it to all my replacement bearings with an epoxy syringe! Took it for a ride, I found on the Mountain roads when the suspension was properly set and with 2 up and camping gear she could sweet talk a twist very well; however I was disappointed in the thrust!

I've seen them on here before but can't find any. Does anyone have a color wiring diagram for the RSV? specifically the lighting section. Had to do some work on the brake lights on mine and found that the PO royally screwed stuff up back there. I'd like to go back to square one and start over. thanks

and side lights for trailer today... didn't like the standard lights not bright enough...$39.00 @ HF for tail lights, side lights & wiring (which i didn't need, oh & license holder)

Buddy has a 2006 RSV with a 4 pin wiring harness, He is wanting to pull my Bushtec trailer that has a 6 pin. Does anyone no of a converter or should I just tell him to order the harness from Bushtec? Anyone with a sugguestion? Thanks
-
Can someone show mw a picture of where the wiring harness is under the seat, or am i best to hook up behind the lisence plate?

Just received the Signal Dynamics Light Bar and have a wiring question. My RSV already has the LED light/spoiler on the top of the trunk (I think it is an OEM accessory) and I traced the wiring from that light under the seat and up to (or past) the battery. My question is this, I can either strip some insulation on existing wiring under the seat and solder the light bar wiring to it or I could cut the wires and put in a couple spade plugs (and seal things to keep out moisture) to allow easy removal of the trunk if needed. Any advantages to either method? I'm guessing either one would work but want to get the thoughts of those that have a better handle of electrical systems. Thanks! -
Ok, I found the first problem: I was realizing that the right turn panel light was blinking faster than the right one when after check that the lamp on front was lighted but not blinking. It was on due to the position, but the second filament didn't not power on. I assumed that was the bulb (I didn't saw the filament broken but it could be the contact) so purchased a new one, but still the same. So, since I never followed this wiring on the VR is something special to take care looking for this problem? Anybody had this problem before? :sick::sick::sick::sick::sick:

When my bike was imported new to the Uk, the turn signals had to be changed so they only flash when turning & then are off. But I know from your bikes & my previous 'Wing, yours are on all the time. Do any of you know how this is done? Is it by the wiring, if so where would it be, or by a special bulb or something. Greatful for all your knowledgeable help.

Did this on the Wing so posting here ... The dilemma I was facing was how to put together a nice, clean, somewhat out of the way wiring connection for the trailer. Different hitches might present a different way of doing this but the design of the Rivco hitch doesn't offer much for possibilities. So, I figured I could install a "flush mount" type round plug underneath the trunk, next to the side bag and trunk release levers. As I had already installed a trailer wiring isolator kit designed for plug-and-play at the back of the bike, it was just a matter of taping into the wiring coming out of the isolator. Here's pics of my install... Product Used... [ATTACH]68744[/ATTACH] Backing Plate... [ATTACH]68745[/ATTACH] Wire Routing... [ATTACH]68746[/ATTACH] Marking for the holes using the metal template...

I have the left front lower off, checking the fuses ( there good) what's the black box above the fuses? with two sets of wiring coming out?

Just finished wiring the beast for a trailer using a Reese Towpower tail light converter. Bike lights behave normally after completion. When I connect the trailer and turn the key the headlight fuse blows. I see two possibilities: 1. There's a short in the running lights on the trailer or 2. The trailer running lights are too much draw for the circuit. Any helpful thoughts appreciated...

I have never been satisfied with the tail/turn/stop lights on my Harbor Freight trailer. I had changed the bulbs to LED's, but just not enough illumination, especially in the day-time. These were about $16.00 each at Wally-World. A bit of a challenge to mount, but I stuck with the measure twice, cut once rule. Well, I also cut the holes somewhat undersize then shaped them to fit the template I had made. Pretty much labor intensive, but I think the end result was worth the effort. I completed the install with wiring and connectors that I already had. I now have (additional) stronger lighting, located to be much more noticeable. I have some tidying up to do on the wiring, but it's basically completed. Pic 1- rough cut for left light (took a lot of patience and elbow grease to finish) Pic 2- some of the tools and "stuff" I used Pic 3- Hooked up with running lights and left turn signal on

Hi All, Added a few new parts to my new (to me) 96 Royal. Cobra drag pipes, Corbin Solo Seat, Barons Star Bars, Kuryakyn Curved lighted licence plate holder, Barons Ultimate Light Bar and rear fender rack. I am happy with the new parts but as always there is more to do. Next is internally wiring the bars, blacking out and polished fins on the engine covers, tacho, braided lines all round, bigfoot mod and Dyna ignition. Ahh, so much to do....so little money.

A co-worker has a V-Star 950 and is wiring up a radio but wants it to come on with key in accessory position. He is hooking it up thru a relay but not sure where to wire it in for "ignition switched" for this situation. Anyone have a soft copy (file) of the shop manual or have any background in this? Thanks !

I am installing an LED brake light I have laying around from another project. It fits the Midnight like it was made for it! got lucky there. Where is an easy place to splice into the brake light circuit without a lot of trauma to the wiring harness? I started taking the seats off, looking for whatever I might find, then remembered about this forum. I did some searching, but mostly the results were about lights that also had turn signals. I just need the brake light wire. Thanks, Bert

Finally got a chance to get everything cleaned up and out for the promised pics. Thanks again for all the information on the Hitch and Trailer Wiring. Freebirds write up on the Modulite convertor made the wiring painless and simple even though I used a Hopkins. http://http://www.venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=64094&stc=1&d=1329086969http://http://www.venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=64095&stc=1&d=1329086969http://http://www.venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=64096&stc=1&d=1329086969http://http://www.venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=64097&stc=1&d=1329086969http://http://www.venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=64098&stc=1&d=1329086969http://http://www.venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=64099&stc=1&d=1329086969http://http://www.venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=64100&stc=1&d=1329086969

Does anyone own one with a cb? Do the original CBS allow you to talk, or only listen? I'm thinking about swapping the one from my old bike to my new bike. To do this I'll have to swap wiring harnesses too. So I guess another question of mine is, is it worth it???

This seems to be the correct forum to post this request. (If not, I apologise - so just respond, okay?) Seriously though folks, I have fitted a Voyager outfit to my 2004 RSV and now need to hook up the additional lights fitted thereto. The Voyager is obviously wired up, with a 7-pin flat plug and I have acquired the matching socket and cable to wire in to the bike. I've been told by other 'Voyagers' that the best place to do so is just aft of the battery. I would assume that would be correct, and I would just use normal 1-into-2 splicing connectors? I'm okay with doing it myself, having dabbled in auto wiring (and house wiring) for many years. The other option is to go to the harness and connectors beneath the tail light - the ones all curled up under the number plate bracket. Any clues, ideas, opinions and/or advice please? Thanks for your collective time. I know it's valuable.

before I even ask this I should know better by now but here goes. Just ordered a new trailer that has factory Led's and is wired for 4 wires. From other threads looks like the Hoppy 4 to 5 converter will work and a lot cheaper than the other isolators,converters, and sub wiring harness that I have looked at. #1 Will the Hoppy converter be more economical than installing two more lights to the trailer for turn signals? #2 Will installing two more lights for turn signals require any kind of isolator? #3 Will wiring trailer directly to bike harm the bikes electrical system ? From what have read the isolator puts the load on the battery and not the bikes charging system. I'm not using any heated gear or planning any other lighting upgrades other than maybe some strip leds under the tank etc.. In theory trailer will only be used a few times a year. I have read so many old threads and opinions that I have information overload so give me some more and maybe it will fix this hangover.

my screen started to fade in and out, checked the wiring, what else can cause this?
