    TCI repairs

    Anyone who needs TCI repaired, cost is $25. You ship both ways. PM me for shipping address if you need one repaired.

    It sure is good to know somebody out there can repair these things. I don't need it now but when I do....

    BTW have you ever done an auction at eBay to see what kind of response you'd get? I think you can sell services there just like "hard" items.

      Yeah, Cody, been there done that. hardly any response except for one Yamaha dealership here in PA. Parts mgr sent a couple in for repair. I expected much more response, go figure!

      Maybe I'm ahead of my time?

          Randy, do you do XS650 TCIs as well? There could be some business from 650 XSers if you do. I spent $300 on a Boyer-Brandsden iggy that failed right away. They do make good on their 5 year warranty though. (For some unknown reason XS650 folks are XSers instead of XSives.)

            Randy, do you do 1981 and newer? Bob Jones said you can have all his buissnes repairing the TCI's. He wanted to know about the 1981 and 1982 TCI's?

              xs650mike and winterhawk;

              I can do any TCI that has a screw-on cover. Some of the later ones are sealed, so I'd rather not butcher the case to get to the innards, know what I mean?

              If you can give me a diagram of the plug connections? Then I'll be able to hook it up to my test setup.

              I have a complete iggy system setup with a motor driven rotor, pickups, coils, plugs. So for the XS, I just plug in the TCI and go at it. Like I said, if i can get the plug configuration, I can fix any one of them.

                    Randy,

                    What if we butcher the case ourselves before we send it to you?

                      If you promise not to butcher the innards, too!

                      So, is the 650 TCI a sealed unit?

                        All the ones I've seen are. I think I could probably pry the plastic casing apart without damaging anything but I don't know if the innards are encased in resin or such like.

                          Randy, are you done studying my XJ TCI and vacumn boost sensor yet? Can you now fix the XJ's TCI?

                            Yes, I'm about as done as I'll be. No new info, the advance IC is still unobtainium. The rest of it is the same as the other models. I'll ship them back next week.

                              tci repair

                              Do you do, or know of someone you can recommend that repairs(resolders from what I've been told) the TCI's for FJ1200's? I have a 91 FJ1200 and the fuel pump circuit for the TCI has been going off intermittently for a while.
