Well my Tape Player has finally died, or is dying. Plays cassettes at 'Chipmunk' speed. Has anyone attempted repair on these or can anyone recommend a repair faciluty?? This is a 1992 Radio/Cassette unit. I believe they were Motorola. Any info greatly appreciated??
TIA

 

Unless you're hell bent on keeping everything OE stock, it wouldn't be worth getting a 1992 tape deck repaired IMO. You'd be better off going aftermarket or adapting a newer unit to your bike

 

I got the Biketronics interface..and picked up a new Sony off Ebay... love it.... mines a '94

 

I would not take it to a shop but before you get a new one, you might try taking yours apart and changing the rubber belts.

 

Contact Mike at Biketronics....great product....and really great customer service, just installed a new system on mine.....Love it!

 

IIRC, the headunit you have was supplied by Radio Sound of Louisville, KY. They offer a repair service that is done on an exchange basis. Here's their phone number. Ask for customer service and speak to "John," I believe:

502 267-6768

+1 for the Biketronics suggestion, instead of repairng the stock headunit.

 

+1 for Radio Sound. Had them repair my CB last year. John also answered several tech questions that I had.

With the Biketronics/RetroRadio option, you'll lose your CB and intercom, if you've got an Ultra. If you ride a Classic, then aftermarket is definitely the way to go, IMHO.

Good luck and ride safe.

 

Well...guess I'm partial to my old cassettes and the Radio still works fine. Has anyone replaced the belts?? If so where can you get the new coorrect size ones???
