I've been working a weekend shift for nearly 7 years now. We start at 5:00 am and work 10 hour days. The good side is I'm riding when most folks are at work - and I'm working when most of them are on the road! The bad side is - 5:00 is too dang early! I'm still not used to getting up that early.

Need some help here

Hi folks, I had the hi-lo switch problem bobcat mentioned but I also opened the starter switch housing. Pay close attention to how the wiring is routed in that box - can be a devil to put back together as there isn't any "extra" room in there. -
Anybody know the part number of the indicator bulbs on the panel? I pulled my headlamp indicator bulb out recently and dropped it. Wouldn't you know I stepped on it while looking for it... I bet it still worked after the drop too!

I just went through this last week - I mean ALL of last week! lol! I found the light problem pretty quickly in the hi-lo beam switch. There was a great deal of crud /corrosion built up between the contacts. Most of the down time was spent trying to put the starter switch housing back together though. I also took the time to explore a little and lube everything I could think of since I was in there. The real point I wanted to make though, is that shooting WD40 in there is likely a stop-gap measure IF these items aren't opened often enough to keep them cleaned out. As a bonus to opening and lubing everything, it all works like new now - pretty cool!

Would it be possible for you guys to post pics? As someone who's never tuned a set of carbs before, and has a need to do so, that would be very helpful to me. I really appreciate the ideas but pictures may answer questions. If posting is a problem, I'd be glad to assist - just message me.
