So this is a story about a rider named Bigheadted, the poor old Hog rider thought his charging system was dead, cause one night when he went for a putt, his lights flickered low each time he got the rpms up, all the way home he was thinking what component on my ride is gettin ready to give up. He stuck it on a battery charger for a day just freshen the charge up, then he took it for a evening ride to see what was up, to his dismay it was way worse than before and all the way home he was bummed because he had no money to spare no more. His brain started to think I wonder just what can it be and can I borrow the specialty tools needed to tear the primary down and how much all the parts will be, then it came to him check first all things like grounds and connections to the battery . When he pulled in the garage he yanked the seat and discovered the battery connections were loose as they could be so he made them tight and fired the beast up to perform a quick checkee and the problem was solved he discovered so he shouted out with glee, check the first always that you can do for free ! I hope at least one person gets entertained by this !
Good job. It's hard to think of the simple fixes first. Why does the human brain always go to the most complex and expensive solutions first. Thanks for reminding me to stop and think.
Good for you for using you (BIG) Head...Ted...LOL...
My father used to tell me "Son just because you have a big head doesnt mean its full of brains"
So i always stayed in Skool tu lurn as mutch as i cood and full up my skull....
My wife always says...Man you got a big head but you do all your thinkin with your small one?
That reminds me of the time my bike wouldnt start and I starting checking things, pulling the seat, etc. Finally I glanced at the handlebar kill switch and yep there it was. I never use it and I guess I hit it by accident. I'll bet I'm not the only one that has ever done that.
