Thanks for the reminder Spraypaint. I had forgotten that there are manuals in pdf that I normally do not use. I prefer my hard copies.

I would buy one but I am so tired of waiting to ride I don't even feel like waiting for it to ship.

I want to figure this out this weekend.

nice, glad that you made me look at the pdf. I did not know that the Left dummy horn contained most of the fuses with the main fuse along with the spare are under the seat. Good luck on the fix Spraypaint.

Just got it running! And on a gorgeous evening, too.

For some reason my ignition was not getting any power. Not sure what was the cause, but there it is.

Because I didn't feel like waiting to get her back on the road my friend helped me jerry-rig a quick fix that I pray will not result in any other problems. Probably have to buy some new parts soon though, to make sure everything works as it should.

Thanks for your help.

I don't know exactly but my understanding was that we ran constant power to some wires that aren't supposed to get it.

Yeah, I told him that if my *** catches on fire he's the first person I'm calling. But I rode for about an hour yesterday and everything seemed as normal, so I'm confident.

if your running constant power your gonna drain the battery, I would disconnect it after riding until you get it fixed.
