Post 944 a/c re-charge

Summer time is here, and it is becoming hard to drive in the hot weather. I am having a problem with my A/C though . The control's for the A/C work perfectly fine until I turn it on, and it blows hot air. What can be the problem? Would it need re-charging? And how would I go by re-charging it? Thanks.

Have someone turn it off and on while you look at the compresor. Does it start turning? Could just be the clutch.. Do a search, there should be several posts on this.

It's a automatic.

I turn it on and off, and I here a fan or something of the same context running. A loud 'shhhhuuuuu' sound.

V944god, what year 944 are we talking about..Yamaha R6?

Get it recharged, sound like the freon charge is low.

Be careful what you ask for, it may become true.
The 951 is a fun to work on, but they need a lot of TLC if you run them hard...and you will.

Boost is addictive.

Hey I happen to be looking for a motorcycle. I have a 86, 88, and 89 951s. How much do you want for your bike and where are you at?

I'm having the same problem on my 89 951. The motor works fine, but hot air blows out. There is a valve on the A/C gas line that looks like one of those found on a bicycle's tire. Unsrew the cap and depress the valve. On my car, this line is to the left of the engine coolant tank. If no gas escapes from the valve, chances are you need to recharge to gas. Let me know how much this costs if you go ahead and get it done.
