Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Irratic hard starting

Post by terwine »

I want to share a problem solved: Bike would not start by cranking although it would most of the time when only bumping the starter initially followed by cranking at open throttle--most of the time. If not, let it set 10 minutes and try again. Once started, it ran fine. Today I installed an ebay replacement of the ignition coil sensors with plate with perfect results. Seems to me that one of the pickups must have been bad and sparking only 50% of time--critical during starting as it led to flooding if it didn't start immediately. This was a progressing problem making it especially difficult to diagnose.
