  14. 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.
  15. Barrometric sensor where is it? what is it?
  16. 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.
  17. You know Muffinman called me and told me this story so I went and checked. Nope thats not it.
  18. Sundown on the first day of Spring in the sunny South.
  19. Battery is full charge and turning starter
  20. Checked that Kill switch in get go position
  21. 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?
  22. It was about Feb of 03 as best as I can recall.
  23. pull rope, whatchutalkingbout
  24. 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.
