Well, along with having no registration and no contact with the last registrant, I also have other issues. It is not major, however...When the handle bar is turned hard to the left, the sled will quit... its obviously something electrical, but we have inspected all the wires behind the airbox and by the handles and do not see anything out of he ordinary. Any ideas?

thats where id start. i just fixed fuel
sender wires there last week.

BUMP, i need some help here with this one. Its not a wire anywheres near the handle bar...could there be something beneath the motor? There is quite a bit of "slop" in the steering column in the bushing right at the back of the motor...it seems that whenever we let that move around by turning the handle, the sled dies. Could it be grounding something out?

ADDITION THE THE ABOVE POST - It now does it when you even just let pressure off the handle bars, not just when you turn left

 

[YamaCatMan]

Nobody knows of or has had this issue before?

 

[Renagade]

ill be honest with ya ive never heard of
this happening.

but look under the exhaust by ur steering
linkage, might be rubbing on harness sumwhere??

 

[YamaCatMan]

Im 99% sure that is what is happening. TIME TO PULL THE MOTOR I SUPPOSE

 

[Renagade]

all u have to do is take off the pipes.
you can see the harness from there.
just took mine off last nite to pull jugs.
only have 90psi in all three holes

Thanks, Ill get to looking at that tonight. See if i can find something.

OUCH... sorry about the sled :thumbsdown:

 

[Renagade]

do you by chance know what normal
compression is in these triples?

 

[YamaCatMan]

anywheres between 110 - 130 is normal. Mine has 125 in each.

 

[YamaCatMan]

We had found that somewhere under the motor was the problem. So we pulled it tonight. Easy, smooth sailing task...however, NOT A SINGLE BROKEN WIRE IN SIGHT!

 

[YamaCatMan]

Paid 85 bucks for a wiring harness off ebay... gonna put in the new harness rather than diggin into wires and screwing with all that crap

 

[Renagade]

i really hope thats your problem.
i just put rings and new gaskets in my triple,
then found out my compression tester was bad.
showing 90psi when i had 130!!
