Guest Apittslife Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I was able to pick up my bike yesterday morning, unfortuniatly it was raining so she got rained on for the first tyme. I had to work, so I wasn't able to take any picks till today. I uploaded them to the members gallery. Hope to hear what everyone thinks of my Buy.

Baileyrock Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Congrats and welcome! I had the same year but in RED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Thanks, She is in surpisingly good shape, & starts up instantly. I have the Clutch MC off & being rebuilt, it should be back by mid-week. :thumbs up: Until I get all my riding gear, & my motorcycle learners permit, I won't be riding her. I have a couple friends that I am sure would be willing & able to take the first ride on her & see if she drives out as good as she looks.

Guest Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Well I picked up the Clutch-master on tuesday, so I re-installed it, & reverse bled the system, then I spent most of the day ( slow day at work, & have a Great Employer ) working on the bike doing all the miantianance needs, then I disposed of the old gas ( Drained it into my DD ), washed & waxed the body work, polished the black-chrome, as well as the rims. Then I set the choke, hit the starter, & nothing! The Damb battery is dead, No prob, Boss has a Bike Charger. Nope the battery is toast, & it was only a month old! So today I get the replacement battery ( Helped the Boss install new full fairing for his Harley, yesterday. Like I said, have a great Employer ) & started the bike & took her out on a test ride , She ran like Poop. I got back & the boss told me to take her out again, & when I returned I had him take her out on a longer ride ( He has License, I don't ), after about an hour of running & riding she runs a lot better & she has stopped smoking. The only negative is a weak clutch slave, so all in all I am a very happy person. Sincerely, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted April 28, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted April 28, 2012 Good stuff! we need MORE pictures But the battery.............. did you buy it new or did someone tell you it was a new one? Unless the little fairies came in at night, shorted it and pished in it, there is no way a battery will fail that quick methinks..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Kel Posted April 28, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted April 28, 2012 That's good news Paul. I put in a little Seafoam every spring just to take care of any deposits today's sucky gas has left for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the little fairies came in at night, shorted it and pished in it, there is no way a battery will fail that quick methinks..... The Battery was "New", The Interum owner installed it 2 weeks prior to my purchasing the bike. Unfortuniatly it is an autozone battery Since I had his name & telephone # and I work at a mechanical shop I was able to get a replacement without any issues. Me thinks as well, & I will be looking into it as I have tyme. but the battery tender will help in the short term. It may have been caused by starting & just idling the bike, & or having a weak battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
