woohoo finally got it. :clapper: want a long ass trip to pick it up. I had to trailer it back home because the engine isnt running properly.


I do know the charging system isn't working. I dont know if the previous owner knew that. Tomorrow i will be tracking down what isn't connected or is bad.


I have couple questions about the 85 or 86 limited edition or anyone who has the 1200s.


How do you change the channels on the radio?? I know theres a button on the left grip that says "tune" but that doesn't do anything.


Does the air suspension display always display numbers? Mine has two dashes. And when are you suppose to adjust the suspension?


Can anyone with the 1200 fuel injection take a dig picture of the emissions label on the bottom of the frame. Mines missing half of it and hardly readable. I just want to see the timing, valve lash, type of oil etc.......


thanks

anyone with the panasonic radio, how do you change the channel on the radio?

My switch doesn't do anything at all. Im hoping it is just a problem inside the switch


thanks

thanks for the responses


the owner gave me a clymer manual. Huge, huge help. I did see the wiring diagram. I hope they have a color diagram available because that has to be impossible to read. It is easier reading automotive wiring diagrams then this bike. I wonder how long it took the electrical engineer to setup all the circuits.


I believe the missing and low power is due to the charging system not working. The bike runs with 11 volts. Im going to try using a car battery in conjunction with the bikes battery. The other day i tried it, the bike ran very smooth. The stator had the plug eliminated and has three crimp connections. Something i will check. I will check the existing wiring from the regulator to the battery and main fuse. It isn't the first time ive seen someone create a new circuit incorrectly.


The cb display does work. But i dont know if i can hear anything until i get my headset.

I will try taking the switches apart and checking continuity. And dabbing dielectric grease. I might take some dig shots of me doing it to help others out too.


When can i use the air compressor on the bike? Is it the same like setting up the suspension?


Its a very awesome bike and love it being big. Only downside is reading clymers and seeing "DO NOT" and "very expensive electrical parts"


thanks for the responses

he has a link to the guy who did the alternator upgrade. Is there a kit available, or do i need to fab my own?


btw, this guy has a pdf of the panasonic radio and other radios. :clapper:

i checked the three stator wires with the harness connected. ..(because they are crimped together) and got 6v 6v and 0v which isn't good. I will do the continunity test, and try the disconnect test.


I guess i have to pull the motor out :X Do i need any special tools and does the timing belt need to be removed?

:gunhead: :gunhead: :gunhead: :gunhead:


i doubt my multimeter sucks, but at 3000 rpms with the stator disconnected. Highest AC voltage i got was 25. :gunhead:



Im curious to people with the fuel injection, if any of you had a weak battery. How bad does it run.


Maybe next week ill pick up a stator and install it. And that will allow me to test all the sensors on the motor, injectors, and see if i got any vacuum leaks. Plus do a compression test.

did i forget to mention :gunhead:

i have a car battery by itself that i drag around my house to jump my bikes. Some of the bikes have a hard time starting in the winter and a car battery allows it to crank over better.


Im going to check the timing belts, while i got the motor pulled. The owner stated he had them done. I hope they were correctly installed. Im hoping the misfiring is due to the computer not having sufficient voltage.



I did play with the suspension. I turn the kill switch and i can hear the air pump turn on for a bit, and the display light up. But no numbers. might need to clean those switches on the handelbars like everyone said. :X

i have to stop buying projects

Tis easy questin I posted how to test your stator and after that you asked how ?????//

so I must assume you can't read it



neil

Are you sure you cant read. Because i never asked how to test the stator. And why would i ask if i own a clymer manual?


Please quote me where i actually askthat i needinstructions to test a stator.
