Dragonslayer replied to Dragonslayer's topic in Watering Hole
As we often do on 1st Gens -
I passed a blue on blue 1st gen yesterday on Dekalb Technology Parkway, at the F.O.E. (Fraternal Order of Eagles) off Chamblee Tucker Road at Spagetti Junction in Atlanta, at about 3:30 p.m. yesterday (Sunday 3/ 22/09). Who was it? I turned around and tried to catch up but you had disappeared.

The gear slector indicator switch is behind the middle gear bearing plate. behind the clutch slave cylinder on the left side of the engine near the shifter. I've got an extra switch if you need it. -
GeorgeS is the man, I already tried the adoption thing. Just be thankful he's on our side.

I got Battries Plus to agree that my Odyssey battery was bad and would not hold a charge so they gave me a new one. I put it in the bike and charged it overnight to 13.75 volts. Tried to start it this morning and it did not start. I took the plugs out and cleaned them up and regapped them then reinstalled. After a few minutes of trying to start the bike fired with alot of smoke and ran. As the bike warmed up the smoke cleared out and then the bike seemed to run pretty good. Rode it around the block a few times until I saw a cop in the neighborhood and since I didn't have my helmet on I pulled up the drive way and parked it. shut it off and fired it a couple of times and the bike started without a problem or any smoke.

fuel pump seems to be working now after sitting for 3 days , Battery was dead again so I took battery back to battery plus. Odyssey battery less than a year will not hold a charge. fully charged it will decharge in 3 days with no load on it. The weather had been bad for the past few days so i haven,t spent much time on the bike. but the next four days is warming up into the seventies so I'll be starting into it tomorrow.

Went to crank bike yesterday and while hitting start button I heard a diffinate sound then sound of engine turning over changed to it just turning over but no fire and start. I don't hear the clicking of the fuel pump pressurizing anymore. All fuses appear good. I'm thinking fuel pump relay failure. Any thoughts?

Crank Case Vent Upgrade!

I liked the mod because it illiminated the pain in the ARSE task of reconnecting the bannana/ twinkie hose whenever you had to remove the breather box. I'm still digesting the technical effects of the mod.
