That rig's 20 years old, Right. Get ready for a lot of electrical maintenance. Do you know where it's spent most of it's life? No matter. The air corrodes all switch contacts it can get to. Including connectors. You might outa get a LTD Supplemental manual. Get it from Helm, maybe for a reasonable price at dealer, or on E-Bay. The radio doesn't tune, nor the CB tune, nor the compressor work, cause to start with the contacts are almost surely corroded (the ones on the handlebars). I ended up prying mine apart, cleaning the contacts very carefully with a small narrow gun file. Gotta go easy. Get some Electrical contact cleaner, spray in to switch contacts, (very lightly) Procure at Radio shack, for starters. Then tape them back together, to test them for awhile. Then you gan glue them with Gorilla glue, or such. Don't glue them too good, tho. They'll eventually have to come apart, to do the process again. Then, pull the false tank, after pulling seat. Do a 2 dozen pull apart, back together, pull apart, back together job on all the connectors at front, on both sides. Then insert some dielectric grease, or equivelant, befor final assembly. While right pocket, is off, pull the connector off ride computer. Kinda tricky to figure out the latch, then do the same thing to that connector. The ride computer is on the outside of fairing, close to the over flow plastic tank for the radiator, but the connector passes thru, to under the right pocket area. Start with those items, but, unless you're a genius at electrical, definitely get the Supp. Manual. The suspension display doesn't display anything, till you tell it to do something, with the left hand switches. Now, what is the engine problem? Could be more electrical, or stagnent fuel, who knows? For engine t-shooting, check this link. D-load the zip files, cause that link could disappear someday, Maybe even back them up to floppys, cd-r, etc. http://www.intouchmail.net/~fmattox/limited/manual.html Let us know. Good luck
