Default More on the continuing Saga :)

Well, replaced the battery, main breaker and Ign Breaker and IMMEDIATELY the bike would not start. Pulled the starter and tested it, worked fine ( so I thought ) put it back in, didn't work, repeat this process 3 times, a friend comes over picks up the starter and spins the shaft and says " Starters Toast" Replaced the starter clutch pack and works great. If you have problems with your starter try to spin the shaft BOTH ways....it should only spin in one. Put the bike back together and have been tooling around town for 2 days without a burp or fart. Will test it for distance on the highway Monday and see how it stands up. Back in the Saddle again Good Friends, Good beer a good woman and the best country in the effing world, how can ya go wrong ?
