Title: WTF happened?!?!
Post by: Queso on May 21, 2006, 07:29:33 PM
Alright, I went to go for a little practice. I checked my tires, got all geared up, good to go. Start her up, she runs just fine. Then, holding the brake I shift, and it stalls because I forgot that little clutch part. NOW ITS DEAD. The headlight wont come on when I put the key to the on position! The battery is fine, as the alarm still works! The light came on once while I was messing with it a bit, so I went and got all geared up again, went out to try again, and it was dead as a doornail... I am friggin *&#^*&#^@%*^#@.... What happened?

Did you check the fuse?  It's on the frame on the right.  It could also be a loose connection, probably at or near the battery.  The jolt from not using the clutch could have moved it.

 :oops: :oops: :oops:

It was the %$&^% old battery... I had a new one, but the posts were a bit different from the stock battery. I decided to "modify" the wires to fit the new battery, and boom.. She's running great. Well... She's running. I got some more maintenance to do...
