            • Nothing
              my only 3beefs with the bike was when I lost a cylinder while on a road trip.
              before the trip I had lubed and adjusted all my cables, including the choke cable. I adjusted the free play and forgot to check the action. after 300km with the choke being on part way I fouled a plug. I didnt realize it was this at the time. I stopped and got carb cleaner and compression tester etc then rode another 30 minutes to our camp site. I discovered it was choke cable long after I had the bike stripped apart in my tent during a rain storm, cleaning carbs and checking compression. lucky for me I always have a couple spare plugs in my tol kit.

              #2 was a short in the wiring by the rear brake. The harness wore on the frame and was shorting out.

              #3 just this past fall I lost all power to my headlight from a corroded connection. as always my issues have all been in the rain. lol

              Ive upgraded a lot of stuff but no breakdowns or major repairs.
              wheel bearings
              brakes
              clutch /springs
              cables
              rear shock
              fork springs
              dyna tech ignition coils, ngk wires
              POR 15 fuel tank sealer (leak around a spot weld for the sending unit)
              and a lot of cosmetic and go fast goodies

              • Nice! I had a similar short, right at the rear brake switch. Kept blowing the fuse, makes me wonder if my brake light was on for a while too cuz the bulb would blow also or just from a surge/short. The 2 wires were exposed right next to each other.

                • I have a 93 with 10,700 miles on it. Just paid $500 for it.....cant get it to start though, kinda stumped on what would cause it to not start with only 10,000 miles on it.

                  • You'd be surprised at would make it not start, post a help thread in mechanics 101 an talk it out.
