Yamaha Motorcycle: Starting problem possibly electrical?

Mon, 26 May 2025 01:37:28 -0700

My 2000 Road Star 1602 has had a problem for many years now.

The thing won't start until the speedo sweep has finished and the yellow light does a faint blink.

I have taken the cover off of the decompression assembly, and it doesn't activate until the faint blink.

It cranks pretty good considering the decompression spoon isn't activated for a time!

I've read the manual and have checked all of the electronic connections.

I suspected the ignition unit since the schematic shows a direct connection between it and the decompression unit. Replaced it with 2 other units to no avail.

Any clue where to look next?

The battery, starter, starter solenoid and rectifier have been changed.

2004-2009 Yamaha Vino 125: Fuel leaking from an open hose coming from bottom of carburetor I

Wed, 26 Feb 2025 07:52:03 -0700

Trying to figure out why fuel leaks steadily out of a very small hose coming from be very bottom of the carburetor. Hose does not appear to attach anywhere seems like an open hose. Leaks only when running. Also a thicker hose coming from mid carb leaks some as well while running. That hose Appears to be a vent hose of some sort and is sliced add a 45 at the end. Final note I have got the scooter to run smoothly but just facing these leaks any information would be greatly appreciated , the gas tank is nowhere near full checked already.

Yamaha Motorcycle: VStar issue please help

Wed, 11 Dec 2024 09:18:40 -0700

I have a 2000 Yamaha VStar 650. I can’t get it to turn over. We have tested everything electrically and found a few things so we replaced the ECU, spark coils, spark plugs, combo relay, inspected stator, tested stator according to manual. Compression was great. Output from the stator was in spec. The trigger wire from coil to ECU has continuity and no grounds.

We are getting weak spark in front cylinder and no spark in the rear cylinder.

Pulse coil has been checked and according to the manual is good.

Probed wire harness as per manual and everything tested good. Killswitch, key switch and kick stand switch we’re all tested and found to be good but we even bypassed them from the circuit.

We have no more hair on our heads now and need help! Lol please!

Thank you Brett Hodsden

My 2007 Vino is a cold starter. I try to start it and just turns over and over. Whether I give it throttle or not. I leave it for a while, go back and it will start. Then it starts fine rest of the day. I sometimes go weeks without starting it.

Yamaha Motorcycle: Headlight and gauge illumination failed simultaneously

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 18:14:53 -0700

I replaced the battery on my 1995 Yamaha XV1100 (Virago) as the old battery was just too tired. It started and ran great. Passed the mandatory NYS inspection. Everything was working fine. Parked the bike for a couple of hours when I got home. When I went to put it in the garage, I started it (no problem there) and I noticed that neither of the gauge lights was illuminated. I then noticed that the headlight was also not lit. All other lights and electrical accessories (except the high beam indicator) work as normal (taillight, park lights, brake light, turn signal and indicator lamps, oil pressure light, neutral indicator light, horn, heated grips). The headlight bulb does not appear to be burnt and there is continuity between the terminals on the bulb. The four fuses under the indicator light panel are good. So far I've looked in the headlight bowl and under the seat and the wiring looks solid (no visible corrosion or worn insulation). Jiggling the wires with the ignition switch on does not produce any effect. The bike starts and runs fine and all other lights still work fine. I have the Clymer manual for this bike but it says practically nothing about the lighting system. Any suggestions would be appreciated as I am not good at electrical problems.

I appreciate your patience and understanding.
