No passanger mic

Hi John. Lift the left fairing pocket and make sure that the drivers pigtail cord is plugged into the connection properly. Both drivers and passengers cords need to be plugged in fully and the fault might be at your end.

Hi John. Have you tried switching the passsenger helmet to the front and riders to the back to see if the problem switches to the front? If it does, you will know the problem lies with the headsets and not in the bikes intercom.

Yep, that was one of the first things we tried.

I have replaced the cord from the co rider to that connection. Think it could be from the cord from the system to under the seat? And, what kind of a pain will I be running into to replace it?

It looks easy to replace once the saddle is off.

We have several sets of J&M headsets and also use the 2 piece "Z" cords. I have experienced numerous intermittent mic failures, with one exception, the problem has been the upper cord. The problem is often hard to dianose because the cord may need to be in just the right position to fail. When the mic isn't working, try lifting up the connection between the two cords, move it around and see if it will work.

The one other failure I had with a J&M headset was also an intermittent problem, in that case, the mic itself was defective. That headset was about 5 years old.

Do you have a J&M dealer near by? The local J&M dealer here has a large test stand and stocks just about everything. They have always been very helpful.

On the 1800 I often find that when the headset does not work or is intermittent, and I have determined that the headset and cords are ok, the problem is usually the main plug at the audio unit is either corroded or not inserted properly. This problem usually appears after replacing the air filter.
