Radio HS Button Appears Inop

[Jim From Florida]

Had the battery out a couple of weeks ago while working on the bike. Put the battery back in and the radio HS button was on. Could not get it to go off. I referred the the radio manual and did what it said. Button will not go off. I even tried spraying contact cleaner as best I could. Still won't go off. Any thoughts or suggestions??

well cheapest and easiest fix is to get a headset. other than that take it out and send her to frenchy.

Sounds like the screw has come out of the circuit board inside the radio next to the HS button. Common problem, just takes a while to fix it. Usually you'll find the screw bouncing around inside the radio.

Yup.. Its probably the screw.. Need to take the radio out .. ( I posted a PDF file with pictures on how to do this).. However, if you want any mods doing to it while its out, then send it on to me.
Give me a call when its time to take it out Jim.. I can guide you through it too...
Cheers..

As things turned out, I didn't have any work this week so I tackled the radio. AMAZING how a little screw can cause so much work. I called Carl after I pulled the radio and couldn't find the loose screw. He walked me thru it. As it turns out, one screw had come loose. I re-installed it with locktite. I the removed the other two and used locktite on them. Really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Just need patience. Thanks for the help, again

Just removed mine too. Sure enough that little screw had come out. Found it under the tape drive. Reinstalled screw and put a drop of clear nail polish on the edge to prevent this repeating itself.
Will reinstall in the next day or two. I'll let you know how it does.
