I just finished restoring a 1965 Harley Topper.....  same motor I believe.     Its for sale Dan!!!

You know you want it Dan....

I was able to remove the switch using a 10mm socket and a long extension from under the triple clamps. Took off the tank to get to the connector. I've cleaned off the switch contacts and the spade connectors as best as I could. The FJ switch is a lot easier to take apart than my kid's '84 Magna. Pics in reverse order.

I'm in, Friday night the 15th and Saturday night the 16th. Looking forward to seeing you guys!

Before you jump to electrical, are you sure you have fuel?

If the fuel pump is dying there might not be enough fuel in the bowls for it to run properly.

As I mentioned in the email, the 5 prong relay is not a replacement for the 4 prong Yamaha relay behind the battery. It is a relay installed for high electrical consuption items like headlights & ignition coils.

Why are you suspecting that relay to be the issue? Noise from the relay can be an indication of low voltage.

What is the battery voltage?

 If the battery or alternator are failing, low voltage might be the issue which also affects the fuel pump function.

Have to start with the basics: Battery condition & charging voltage.

If those are not the cause of the issue, then further diagnosis will be required.

Just a reminder, don't look at or post a long term weather forecast!  Henry said it would jinx us.

There is a gray wire from your right coil and runs to your tach. This is where your tach gets the signal.
Also in this bundle are the signal wires from the ignition box that tell your 2 coils when to fire. Check these coil connections (at the coils). and as Red advises, check the ground wires to your coils. A loose ground connection at your coils can cause intermittent power interruption at the coils along with a signal disruption at your tach, exactly what describe.

Re: Relay: Without consulting the wiring diagram, I'm aware of a starter relay that sends full battery amperage to the starter motor. The activation coil in this relay is controlled by the starter button on the handlebar.

Quote from: Pat Conlon on May 02, 2026, 09:40:38 PMYou can't find a 170/60-17 Michelin Pilot Road 5?

Only Michelin Road 6 is available in 170. And its close to $300 and not crazy about its tread pattern.
I can get the road 4 or 5 for 50 60$ less in 180 and I like their tread patterns. Only other Michelin option is the pilot power 2ct, which isn't a bad tire. I run it on front.

There is plenty tires in 170 size:

Personally, I tried Michelin 5 GT and I did not like it.
Thanks

Yes, Petes is where I order tires from. Best price around and delivery to my door. Have had good luck with Michelin roads so far....
Thanks..

I know someone who runs a 180/55/17 on a 5" rim on his 1100, tyre is a bit pinched in appearance but fits in there no problems.
