bongobobny Posted August 11, 2012 Share #2 Posted August 11, 2012 Not sure on the number but it should have 4 wires instead of 2. The later version switch had noise filters on the switch as well to eliminate the "pop" in the audio system when you put the brakes on, but either works. One set of contacts is NC (the cruise control contacts) while the other set is NO (the brake light contacts). If you want a used one I will check I might have one for the asking...

MiCarl Posted August 11, 2012 Share #3 Posted August 11, 2012 I don't think that's the correct switch. The part you listed is from the base Venture, where the Royale used a different switch. I could be wrong, but I think the Royale had cruise....... The Royale switch is listed as discontinued. Is the rest of your switch still snapped into the brake lever perch? You might be able to salvage this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrood Posted August 11, 2012 Share #4 Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) I believe the 41V-83980-01-00 FRONT STOP SWITCH ASS'Y is for the Venture Royale (four wire) While the 26H-83980-00-00 FRONT STOP SWITCH ASS'Y is for the standard Venture (sans cruise control, two wire) Although the two wire unit is quoted for under $40... the four wire is asking about $60. The 2WR-83980-01-00 is the newest version with the noise filter and at over $150 is probably not the best choice as they are basically asking for your first born and part of your retirement for a thimble full of plastic and copper. Although some of us may consider offering the first born with only a little reluctance, ebay, salvage or these fine gentlemen is where I would hunt if that's the way you want to go.

dingy Posted August 11, 2012 Share #5 Posted August 11, 2012 I agree with posts above, there is an 26H-83980-00-00 listed on Ebay and this part is in the parts fiche as fitting a 1983 Venture, which never had the 4 wire switches. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VentureBob Posted August 11, 2012 Share #6 Posted August 11, 2012 Out on a trip now and my switch stop working the brake light but cruise still works. Searching forums using cell phone Dora's anyone know of a walk through for cleaning this switch or do they just die? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted August 11, 2012 Share #7 Posted August 11, 2012 Are you sure about only having the contact board? I believe there are 2 pieces and one stays inside the switch when you pull it apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Searching forums using cell phone Dora's anyone know of a walk through for cleaning this switch or do they just die? Look at link below, it is the 1st Gen Tech section. There are several posts I did which step by step show cleaning a switch. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=68 Call me, my phone number 419-six one zero 4972 Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmelah Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share #9 Posted August 11, 2012 Are you sure about only having the contact board? I believe there are 2 pieces and one stays inside the switch when you pull it apart. positive y'all say pics its the only way to prove and i have pics on my phone i will post them later but from looking at dingy thread on cleaning the switch I'm missing half or more of the internals i have only the 4 wire contact board and half of the case Not sure on the number but it should have 4 wires instead of 2. The later version switch had noise filters on the switch as well to eliminate the "pop" in the audio system when you put the brakes on, but either works. One set of contacts is NC (the cruise control contacts) while the other set is NO (the brake light contacts). If you want a used one I will check I might have one for the asking... well then i am asking if you have one and what do you want for it if you have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gscbertrand Posted August 11, 2012 Share #10 Posted August 11, 2012 The part number for the 84 is #41v-83963-01-00 according to my source. But it shows as discontinued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingy Posted August 12, 2012 Share #12 Posted August 12, 2012 I think a clutch side switch would also work on the throttle side. It may need wires swapped in the connector, but I don't think so, looking at the schematics. The wire color codes are different, but that really wouldn't matter. Next owner may be baffled at some future time, but that's his problem. For $12 we can figure it out for him. Connectors are physically the same.

pmelah Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share #13 Posted August 12, 2012 And I would definatly recrute him or her on that might even give him first yr. Free for buying the bike if I sell it just waiting for the title to come in so I can get an antique tag for it spent 28.00 + 10.00 for tag and title transfer when that comes in it will be another 28.00 for the paperwork and wont have to spend another dime on the tag bit I will check into the clutch switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmelah Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share #14 Posted August 12, 2012 Ok the pics are on my phone and can load them smart phone not as smart as they say I will put them on my laptop when I get home and then post them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmelah Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share #15 Posted August 12, 2012 ok here are the 2 pics of the switch and one of my baby girl sticking her tongue out at me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiCarl Posted August 13, 2012 Share #16 Posted August 13, 2012 I go back to my earlier question....... The housing for the switch (the part not shown in your pictures) snaps into the perch for the brake lever. You're sure it's not still attached to the motorcycle? I think Dingy is probably right. The clutch side switch could be made to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmelah Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share #17 Posted August 13, 2012 whats in the pic is all that is there some one in the past took the rest of it out and slide the rain cover over the switch to make it look like everything was there the 2 pics is all that is there nothing else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted August 13, 2012 Share #18 Posted August 13, 2012 Yes I have one, may be the clutch one but as Gary said it should work. You will probably have to disassemble and service it but it's an easy job. Just PM me your addy and I'll send it out NC. Sorry I didn't get back sooner but been kind of busy this weekend...

VentureBob Posted September 3, 2012 Share #20 Posted September 3, 2012 Dealing with this now while switch is on the bike. how do you remove the housing from the lever? Looking at Dingy's write up on how to clean it, I was able to remove the back and spring as well as the contact plate with four wires attached. However the housing and plunger are still on the bike and I don't see how that piece is removed. Hoping someone can chime in so I can try to get this thing either cleaned today or part ordered tomorrow. Thank you. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Hey venturebob if you look at the bottom of the housing and lever you will see a hole big enough to put a small screwdriver in it push it in and the housing can be pulled out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddevilmedic Posted September 7, 2012 Share #24 Posted September 7, 2012 on my 83 had a 2 wire, but i put a replacement 4 wire in. works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VentureBob Posted September 8, 2012 Share #25 Posted September 8, 2012 Thank you Pmelah, popped right out just as you said. Not going to clean it and hope I dont have to order a new one. I have an '85 VR with the cruise 4 wire unit so it might be a little spendy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
