Brute:
What a great build. Have not touched mine since installing the lighting stator. Not wired yet either. Really glad you guys were able to recover all the information you have. Very cool.
sandblaster:
Yeah, it's been fun.
I need to start spending some more time on it soon.
And then of course there's my AF build begging for attention too....
Brute:
I went down to the shop this last week to fire up the bikes since it had been a few months. The ‘runners’ are inside, so opened the door and moved one out. Dead battery. Since it had a LoJack system on it, I figured that was the cause. Charged the battery while I removed the LoJack. Still would not start. Load tested the battery. It is no good. Hmmm. Got a new one yesterday and decided to start them all today. Got to my TW200 enduro and found another bad (one cell shorted) battery. I am pissed as I am sure the battery is less then two years old, and the bike lives inside the garage. Decide to work on the KX5 project and am just not into it. Everything looks like a pain in the a$$ to accomplish. Think about selling it again. Dog walks up and wipes some of the sh!t he has been eating on my arm. Feel like beating the crap out of everything in the shop with a hammer.
Figured out I last ate at b-fast time. I am diabetic. This is stupid. Ate and checked on the battery purchase date of the bad battery in the TW200. 2006. Over six years old. Not too shabby! Things are looking up! Still thinking about the KX5 SuMo project though. Just not as into it as I should be. Not sure it will be worth much more if I finish it, and I can pull the MZB now and get about the same for the bike, but recoup most of my money on the MZB. Sigh. I am getting old…
E ticket rider:
HANG IN THERE BROTHER!!! :-D

No doubt, you just need to keep looking forward to the biggest smile on your face that you have ever had... :mrgreen:
