No, HE still has some court ordered public service to fulfill.  Trying to get it all accomplished before our legal system gets any crazier :deal: !

Will everyone just quit beating around the bush! :giggles

Ok ... so I bought my brick with 55667 Km on the clock. The next year I was having problems with the speedo, and had always had trouble with the tach, mostly due to a corroded wiring loom. A working cluster showed up on fleabay california and ...

Of course the Cali cluster was in MPH with KPH not as prominent not a big deal. Swapped it in and recorded the Odometer readings. Shortly after that, that cluster was giving problems so I combined the best of the 2 units. Now I had a good cluster, metric speedo & odometer, good wiring loom, functional clock, etc. All this farting around had left me with a few hundred kilometers missing on the original odometer ...

... so I reset the clock ahead to where it shoud-a-bean.  :hehehe  That's when I noticed the last number was advancing by x.5 ...

Is it normal to have to pull the clutch in to start the bike? I have to do that even when it's in neutral

Your bike should have a start-in-neutral function if it is stock. When it is in gear, we pull in the clutch to start it. It's a safety feature. Some bikes have a side stand electrical switch that won't allow starting until the stand is raised. Other bikes have mechanical linkage that raises the side stand when the clutch lever is pulled.

Thank you. Do you know what's broken that would cause this?

Cause what—starting side stand up and with the clutch in but not starting with the side stand up and the bike in neutral?

Does your bike have mechanical linkage that raises the stand with a clutch pull?

Read this. It might help you sort things out. It's missing illustrations which is the result of posting photos from a server rather than uploading them to this site from a computer.

Thank you sir! You are a gentleman with a scholarship :giggles I have a feeling it's going to be the gpi on the transmission judging by the bikes history.

The GPI is extremely susceptible to water and road crap. They can be carefully pulled apart and cleaned. Mine failed about 18 years ago,
so I waterproofed the new one with Plasti Dip and have not had a problem since. I now have the old one cleaned and waterproofed as a spare.

Thank you Martin. That's a great idea. I have some experience with plasti-dip so I may do that.

Has it really been almost a month since my last post?? Well here's an update:
I got the fuel tank patched up and exhaust replaced by a mobile welder who came to my house. I polished the header pipes with some 350 grit sandpaper first, then some 1500 grit sandpaper to shine them up. They're not perfect but a yuuuuge improvement! The exhaust note now sounds deep and throaty...i love it!
New brake lines installed.
I got the headlight wired up and installed but I'm not yet sure how I feel about it. I liked that it had integrated turn indicators. Maybe it's that the lunchbox is still on, but I'm not thrilled with it. Don't spare my feelings, let me know what you think. When I get the Koso TNT installed it's probably gonna look a lot better.
I got the transmission oil replaced.
I topped-off the gear oil in the final drive. It was a bit low.

What's left to do, for now, is install the mirrors and bleed the brakes. Here are some pics for proof:










Those valve stem caps are the icing on the cake, are they not?! Lol

When they are stolen you can replace them with skulls.


Hard to believe it's the same bike. I think the headlight fits in with it. Have you putted around the neighborhood yet. Don't the Cali po-po want the registration plate lit? Does it have a spotlight on it?

Skulls, why didn't I think of that?! Haha

No rides around the hood yet. I still need to bleed the brakes. Clymer says that if you have ABS you need to take it to an authorized service center to have it done. Does anyone here do it themselves? What's the procedure?
