jpowell

agreed. I get so angry when I almost hit people because I didn't see them. Not because they I was going to fast, but because they were too damn lazy to turn on their lights

Some people have too much time... WAY too much time

I'm no expert, but I'd be willing to bet it would run fine at least down to 10V. And that being said, I highly doubt it'd die while riding unless it wasnt charging. And if that were the case you'd known. It'd been running wierd first, not just died. Wouldnt have turned over. And the headlight wouldnt have worked. But thats just my guess... I still think you got a loose connection somewhere, or a bad TCI box. You said its an 06, is there any kind of warrenty? Maybe you're wasting your time. drop it off at the dealership and let it be their problem.

You got a manual, at least a wire diagram? My 78 has power go through this order, that is easy to follow.. battery, fuse, ignition switch, kill switch, coils. Thats an old bike, with points, but you should still have +12V to the coils. Couldn't tell you for sure without seeing a diagram though. Check your fuses, I've seen them work loose. If from there you may have a bad kickstand switch, but if you said it starts with or without stand down, then probably not. Maybe a bad solder joint in the TCI box? Best bet is to get a diagram and a test light or volt meter...

well I was gonna ask if anyone has had to make a claim with them. My mom was talking she read consumer reports that they're rates are great, but when it comes time to pay up they suddenly aren't as friendly, but it sounds like everyone here has had great luck with them. Anyone have any different stories before I just on the wagon too?

ok, so whats going on? I think I have a few people joining me. So we may not all be able to get a table together. Wed almost looks like it may be OK for a ride. Who's still in?

Tomcat. I thnk you hit ti right on the head. The shadow of the hippies. And now they're running our colleges, the ones that society tells ALL of our youth they have to go through to be anything. So now theses hippies have found a way to push their ajenda. and what can we do? Find a college or even a class at a college that teaches conservative , moral beliefs and though processes.

Figures. The first day everyone is riding, and right by my house, and I have to spend the day with the girl. Somethin bout it being an aneversery. Apparently those are important. I just wanna ride...

lol are you not sure if you count?

I'm pretty sure they'll still let you park your bike there... Weather.com is saying 60 and scattered showers for next wed. We'll see how that actually turns out.

probably a good idea. Should we start counting like we did in middle school for dodge ball? 1....

Ok, well assuming the weather cooperates, where to meet up before? or do we all wanna just meet there for a bite and some bs, then ride a bit after? The problem is even if it is nice out, once the sun goes down, it gets a little nipply out...

Dont sweat it dude. I re-ended a lady a few years back. She was a drama queen, but swore she wasn't going to sue me blah blah. one year 10 months later, Just before the statut of limitations was up, I got a letter saying I was being sued. so did my mom. Turns out both her, and her husband (who wasnt even in the car) was sueing both me, and my mom (since it was in her name) for blah blah. My insurance was wonderful. They sent us a lawyer. He handled everything. Turned out she went to one of those "have you been hurt in an accicent " lawyers who promised her all this money "she deserved" She ended up walking away with LESS than they originally offered her... She was just trying to be greedy...

Oh well. So much for me lettin you take the credit. Looks like the secret has leaked

Ditto. well Kinda. After a rebuild carbs still aren't just right enough for me to be on the highway or take her too far from the house just yet...
