83 V-Max Throttle Question

Post by IH1586 »

I have an 83 V-Max and I'm trying to determine if the throttle stop switch on it is the correct one for this year. The one that's on their as you can see from the picture looks like the type you typically find on the TORS equipped throttles from 85 and later Yamaha sleds. I would think this year would have the red rubber cap because it has a kill switch. Maybe somebody out there knows.

What confuses me about the throttle is that it's not a TORS throttle. This is a two wire not a three wire TORS throttle. Maybe somebodies has a picture of their stock 83 V-Max throttle they can post.

Tony You have the correct handle & switch as far as the knob goes. The 85 & up had a 3 wire switch but every thing else was the same. The original 83 wasn't like the 81 82 SRX with the red rubber cap but just like the one you have on your sled. It is correct..
