2003 Yamaha Road Star Midnight Questions & Answers
Smells gas whe stop
It could need new spark plugs or wires. If the spark has gotten weak you wouldn't get enough ignition to burn all the gas in the cylinders. Also, your carb could be running rich. There is a screw used to make small adjustments to that. Yamaha should have a diagram of the carb so you know which one it is.
Key wont turn
I get this trouble with my Harley when it gets wet or I pressure wash the bike.
Squirt some cycle oil down the lock as the tumblers get stuck.
Hope that helps.
The motorcycle has been sitting unused for awhile
is your mortorcycle is 'contact point operated " or "CDI"? if it is on contact point: try to grind with sandpaper the tip/stone of the said contact point .
If it is CDI: check the wiring connectors becoz it might be filled with rust....
on the other hand,check the ignition switch(The main key) becoz it probably have a shorted part inside it.gid rid of the blak wire becost it is the common wire color of an ignition switch line.Thanks...i hope my advice will help you a lot.

These blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power LED, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. It has details about blinking codes, and fault locating procedure, to many popular brand TVs and other devices.

Not getting gas carburetor
have you looked at where the carb is ? wots in front of it ? wots connected to it ? hows it held to the intake ? if youve answered these Questions then still dont know what to do then take it to a bike mechanic !!
The motorcycle will not start
I'm assuming that the wiring is intact - no shorted or cut wires - and the ignition key switch is fully operational.
The alternator or its regulator are failing so not enough power is delivered = the battery isn't sufficiently charged. The low voltage isn't strong enough to make the electronics from the dash function and when the bike is moving the voltage drops even lower so the lights aren't powered anymore.Check the voltages delivered by the alternator and the regulator and replace the faulty part.
My bike keeps cutting out
If its a 2 or 4 cyl....are you losing ignition on one or more cylinders? Sometimes the ignition components fail when they heat up, but test fine cold.
If your bike has pickup coils (located next to stator in left crankcase cover) test the resistance cold and then once it gets hot.
