The face plate on my radio doesn't work. Looking to buy a radio for a Voyager XII . Working with Sierra Electronics to get it working. I will buy a junk radio for the parts. Thank you Richard Welsh

Pete Franchi is the radio guru so get a hold of Pete at b6sw@hotmail.com.
He may be able to help but if I recall Pete put out a notice of the impending discontinuation of the face plates some time ago.
Still, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Hi,
I have an '86. The buttons on the radio were not working, and the tape player was constantly auto-reversing. I sent it to Sierra Electronics and the tech guy says he can fix it.

Also I've seen used Kawasaki/Clarion radios for sale on ebay.

Thanks,
Paul

I'm fortunate that the one in my 86 still works (as of last summer). While investigating some other issues, I was surprised to learn the drive belt - a common failure point of aging cassette decks - is still available from Clarion.

Call me lazy but I just dont want to open that faring one more time if I dont have to. I have done it more than two dozen times already since I got it and a tape deck is just not important enough to rip out the radio. Besides I am a talk radio fan. It is all I listen to when I ride unless it is on a weekend. Thanks though.

I just got a voyager VII radio from Pete Franchi upgraded to the 21st century with Bluetooth.
Nice!! I would only go to him for radio upgrade or repair.
