The Yamaha Road Star Warrior Forum

Normally when you first turn on key, you here this buzzing noise while system is setting itself. Well now when I shut bike off in gear I hear this same noise, and then it turns into a continous clicking noise till I turn key back on. If I leave key off will clicking and shift bike into netural clicking goes away. Can anyone help me with this issue?

Shut the bike off in neutral.
Lotsa people with led's/light mods have the same problem.
I think some in line resistors will fix the problem.

Here are some posts on the issue. Chances are good you changed out a light and didnt put a resistor in:

Dave

Thanks all for the info. I did install LEDs without resistor. Will fix that. Can I make my own resistor for taillight-blinker setup?

I wouldn't know where to start with a DIY resistor.
Seems like it'd be better/more exact to just
go to radio shack and buy 'em "pre-made."

With your current configuration you will inherit the Click of Death (solenoid syndrome) if you turn the bike off with the kill switch while in gear or flashing/glowing speedo light if you turn the bike off in gear with the ignition switch causing the battery to go dead Read these threads for a solution

I currently have wired into my running light circuit a 1K (1000 ohm) x 10 watt resistor (kudos to Bugei with some help from me ) that draws 0.01 amps and generates almost no heat that i'm testing. Previously, i had a 12v sealed auto relay with the coil rated at 90 ohm which drew 0.12 amps. This was/is my solution to discharge the electrical circuit without incadesent running and or license lighting!

Check my homepage Yahoo photos listed in my user profile for the url. The folder you want is Running Light Resistor & Relay folder.

Rapid flashing turn signals are another issue and can be handled very effectively with a purchased LEQ. Generally speaking 2 amp is req'd for either the frt or rear and 4 amp for both!

There is also a file folder, Dual Load Equalizer - 30w 2.8 ohm in the Yahoo photos!

I just wired inline a little blue bulb ($1.99 for 2) from walmart. It's like an interior mood light. Problem solved!

bike in nuetral use the key to turn off. works like a champ for me!

Bike Not in neutral, Dead Battery in the morning [:0] you'll never see the flashing/glowing speedo in the sunlight
Ask me how i know ...LOL... []

+1 for me too. When I need to leave the bike in gear (if on a hill/slope) I just turn the key to shut it off and hardly ever use the kill switch.....no problems yet....

mdfdwarrior...Suggest you reenact your senario either in a dark garage or at night with bike in gear and turning key off. Be sure you have released the clutch lever and put down the kickstand only after turning the key off [:0] and report back [^]

I'm assuming you have no incadesent (BULB) license and running lights and as such the speedo will glow or flicker unless i have some special '04' model!

In my case the battery drained over night and wasn't completely dead so we pushed started it.

I suggest you and cmzracing run a 24 hr test for us and see what happens [] after all i've been wrong before []

Hi Alan - I just went into my garage and tried a couple of different scenarios:
1. Bike is in gear, shut off using key not kill switch.
2. Bike is in gear, shut off using kill switch.

My bike is in my garage and with the blinds pulled down it is quite dark. Dark enough to see any illumniation regardless of how low it is.

Results: No buzzing sound, no faint blue flickers on the instrument panel or tach. Of course, it's not been 24 hours, but I was surprised to not see the symptoms so many have talked about. I have seen it first hand on my friends warrior as well.
I have the Radiantz wrap around, an LED strip as a running light, and the integrated LED tail light that came with the eurofender.

I can't explain it. Maybe it will show up after some time but I've been running this setup for a while now...
