2007 / 1700 Yamaha Midnight Silverado check engine light is staying on the bike will crank and run but when you put it in gear it shuts off

If it is an engine warning light you will need to get it plugged into an OBD2 diagnostic system. The light might not be for the carb. It could be for a separate issue. The OBD system will give Trouble codes which are clues to where the issue could be.

2013ignitionswitchremoval

To remove the ignition switch on a 2013 Yamaha Royal Star, you can follow these general steps: 1. Disconnect the Battery: Begin by disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery to ensure safety and prevent accidental electrical issues. 2. Remove the Ignition Switch Cover: Locate the ignition switch on the motorcycle's handlebars. On some models, there may be a plastic cover or panel that needs to be removed to access the switch. Use a screwdriver or appropriate tool to remove any screws or clips holding the cover in place. 3. Disconnect Wiring: Once you have access to the ignition switch, you'll find electrical connectors or wires attached to it. Carefully disconnect these connectors by gently pulling them apart or by releasing any locking mechanisms. 4. Remove Mounting Screws/Bolts: The ignition switch is typically secured to the handlebars or the surrounding housing with mounting screws or bolts. Use the appropriate tool (screwdriver or wrench) to remove these screws or bolts. 5. Remove the Ignition Switch: Once the mounting screws/bolts are removed, you can now detach the ignition switch from the handlebars or housing. Gently pull or wiggle the switch to free it from its position. 6. Install the Replacement Ignition Switch: If you are replacing the ignition switch with a new one, follow the reverse process. Align the new switch with the mounting holes and secure it with the screws or bolts. Reconnect the electrical connectors or wires to the appropriate terminals. 7. Reassemble and Reconnect the Battery: Put back the ignition switch cover or panel if you removed one in the first step. Double-check that all connections are secure. Finally, reconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Please note that the exact steps and specific requirements may vary depending on the model and configuration of your Yamaha Royal Star. It's always a good idea to consult the motorcycle's service manual for detailed instructions or seek assistance from a professional motorcycle technician if you are unsure about any step of the process.

so posted motorcycle to cars,moved you to Yamahammer. no year I guessed at the move, so none known and matters. 2008 to 10 says wiki. top cause all machines with engines (fuel) and not driven every day the fuel goes bad. and clogged filters and injector. 1here the battery bad,or charging system weak if goes weak spark fails, EFI must have 13 to 15vdc at all times running, if not EFI fails, (electronics for spark and fuel) most motorcycle sit parked for endless months.or years. for sure in the rust belt, nobody drives on ICE same with garden tools sat idle and fuel is now junk. the word is MISFIRING< due the 3 classic causes auto cycle engines for 100years bad fuel is first due to not driven daily!!! this is physics based and ASE rules of testing not guessing. using tools. 1: bad compression on the 1 cylinder? over 150psi a must. 2: bad spark on this cylinder, . spark plug bad. or coil or spark trigger devices. 3: bad fueling or bad fuel. under or overfueled or leaking injectors Is a single cylinder engine, V1 is 2008 to 2010 seen in India are you in India. we are USA>? Yamaha YZF-R15 v1. as seen here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_YZF-R15 why leave off makers name and YZF, do you want lies.?

1987 Yamaha Venture Royale 1300. Only running on back 2 cylinders. Changed front coils still no spark?????

If you're experiencing a lack of spark on the front two cylinders of your 1987 Yamaha Venture Royale 1300, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Check the spark plug wires: Verify that the spark plug wires are securely connected to both the ignition coils and spark plugs. Ensure they are not damaged or frayed. If you have swapped the wires and still don't have spark on the front cylinders, it's less likely to be an issue with the wires themselves.
  2. Inspect the spark plugs: Remove the spark plugs from the front two cylinders and inspect them for fouling, wear, or damage. If the plugs are worn out, fouled, or damaged, replace them with new ones of the correct specification.
  3. Test the ignition coils: Although you mentioned replacing the front coils, it's still possible that the used replacement coils are faulty. You can test the coils using a multimeter to check for proper resistance values. Consult the service manual or contact a Yamaha dealer for specific resistance values and testing procedures for your particular model.
  4. Check the ignition system components: Inspect other components of the ignition system, such as the ignition control module (CDI), ignition switches, and wiring harness connections. Ensure all connections are secure, and there are no damaged or corroded wires.
  5. Verify power supply: Confirm that the ignition system is receiving power. Check the fuses related to the ignition system and ensure they are not blown. Test for voltage at the ignition coil connectors to ensure there is proper power supply to the coils.
  6. Consult a professional: If you have gone through these troubleshooting steps and are still unable to identify the issue, it is recommended to seek assistance from a professional motorcycle technician or a Yamaha dealer. They will have access to specialized diagnostic equipment and expertise to diagnose and resolve the problem.
Electrical issues can be complex, and it may require expertise beyond basic troubleshooting. A professional technician will be able to perform more in-depth diagnostics to pinpoint the exact cause of the lack of spark on the front cylinders of your motorcycle.

How to restart my motorbike that hasn't been used in sitting around for a year and a half

Start with the basics. Fresh new fuel and a fully charged battery. Make sure it is in neutral and if it has a fuel tap that it is in the open position. If it has a kick start you can 'prime' the engine. With the ignition OFF and the fuel supply ON kick the engine over 3 or 4 times. Then turn the ignition ON and try starting the engine. Only crank the engine with the electric start for short 3 second bursts.

Bike stuttered and died while riding. Replaced spark plugs and coil and wires. Turns over but will not start

There are several possible causes for your bike stuttering and then dying while riding, despite having replaced the spark plugs, coil, and wires. It's worth doing further diagnosis to identify the root cause. Here are some possible reasons why your bike won't start:
  1. Fuel delivery: Check to see if your fuel pump is working properly and ensure that your fuel lines and tank are clean and free of debris. If your bike has a carburetor, check to make sure that it's functioning correctly.
  2. Electrical system: Check that your battery is charged and in good condition. Also, ensure that the electrical connections are clean and tight. Make sure that the charging system is working correctly, as a bad stator or rectifier can cause similar symptoms.
  3. Ignition system: Make sure that the ignition system is working properly. Check the timing and make sure that the ignition switch, kill switch, and key switch are all functioning correctly.
  4. Compression: Make sure that your engine has good compression. A compression test can help identify if this is the issue.
  5. Other components: Other components, such as the cap and rotor, valve timing, fuel injectors, and camshaft position sensor, may also cause these symptoms.
It may be helpful to consult a mechanic or dealership if you are unable to diagnose the issue. They may be able to provide you with more specific guidance on how to fix the problem.

Yamaha YZF 600R Thundercat. How to reset limp mode please?

Question edited to add a lot more clarity. Question moved from Cars and Trucks to model category. First you connect a scan tool and read the codes. Then the code tells you WHY you are in Limp Mode. Then you fix whatever is wrong and the scan tool rests the code. Limp Mode is ONLY activated if something is wrong that can catastrophically damage the engine. You don't just turn it off and hope for the best. https://www.google.com/search?q=Yamaha+YZF+600R++code+reader ..

Yamaha yz 125 kickstart wont move

If the kickstart won't move and the bike won't go into gear, it's likely that there's an issue with the transmission or engine. Here are a few possibilities to consider:
  1. Seized engine: If the engine seized while you were riding, it could be preventing the kickstart from moving. This could be caused by a lack of oil, overheating, or other issues. If the engine is seized, you will likely need to replace it or have it rebuilt.
  2. Transmission issue: It's possible that there's an issue with the transmission that's preventing the bike from going into gear and the kickstart from moving. This could be caused by a variety of issues, such as a broken shift fork or worn gears. You may need to have the transmission inspected and repaired.
  3. Top-end issue: If the bike lost a lot of power before cutting out, it's possible that there's an issue with the top end of the engine. This could be caused by worn piston rings, a damaged piston, or other issues. You may need to replace the top end of the engine to resolve this issue.
It's difficult to say for sure what the issue is without a more thorough inspection of the bike. I would recommend taking it to a mechanic who can diagnose the issue and provide a repair estimate.
