Hi guys... Need help... My radio quit during my trip to Motorcycle Week up in NH.

1st, the channel up and down would not work so I had to listen to one station for the rest of the day

2nd, no more music on the one station it froze on... Just static.

3rd, next morning, all came back until we got to the end of the street from the room we stayed in, then, nothing again.

4th... Nothing on the radio since.. Hot or cold,,,Nothing..

Tape player works fine..

This guru needs assistance... :realshocked:

FYI 86 Aspy,,, 30k miles... Mint....

Thanks guys.. So far, I've dissassembled the tuner up on the handle bar, cleaned it and put it back together with dielectric grease.. Then, took apart all the connections under the left side pocket, checked them for problems and re-connected them. Next, I'll work on the radio connections on the back under the speedometer...

What's throwing me is that the radio was working, quit and started working again just before it quit... the tape player is fine..

I hope to finish up this weekend so I can ride when the rain stops.. Will keep you all in the loop on what I find..

Thanks again,,,, Renegade...

Thank you gentlemen.. I'm very comfortable with mechanical things, but fall on my face when it comes to electrical. I just don't understand it too well..

The radio makes noise and is locked on 90.1 which does not transmit any music, just some shadow talking in the back ground with a lot of static.. Volume works o.k. Just cannot change channels... I'll work on the slider contacts tonight and get back to you..
