Thanks for the prayers everyone. I am a little battered and bruised but I'm doing fine. Went to the Dr. today and no broken bones or any severe damage. I do have a slightly pinched nerve in my left hip due too swelling, but that should go away in a few days. The doc put me on some pain pills and took me off of work till Sunday. Now I'm just gonna lay around the house and get better... Then worry about how to fix the bike.....
Glad to hear that you are both OK. Bring that wreckage along to M.D. at Orlins next year and we will get all put back together.. Prayers for a speedy rocovery for you and your wife.
I bought a gauge set like the one pictured a few weeks ago from Dennis kirk for $89 with free shipping. I've used gauges on all of my bikes over the years and found that they are the easiest to work with, and they last for many years.
I have this same set of gauges. That is an adjustment screw on the face. All you have to do is carefully remove the plastic cover by gently twisting it:301:
Believe it or not the bike will run with this unit in the bike. I just decided to take a look at it to see if maybe that's why it was running a little different from every run I went on.
Best advice i can give you for the gas cap is to try some PB Blast. Spray it around the lock and wait overnight to give it a try. If that dont work i myself have jammed a screwdriver in the lock and turn it. you will have to replace the lock but it will open up
Silverado, I would love to get the ignitech unit, but the only way that is gonna happen for me is if they accept a payment plan.. lol. So far if it could go wrong it did for me this year. My funds are extremely depleted.
Well I dont think Im gonna be able to repair my TCI. Once I opened it up all the way and looked at the other side of the board im pretty sure its toast. Ill upload a pic or two of it tonight. Thanks for all the suggestions though guys. You were a big help. I even found everything I needed to do the repair. The only thing left to do was stop and pickup some solid core wire..:depressed:
not really sure. from what I could see just trying to look under the board without undoing the solder to take it out they dont look to good. it looked like one was gone. or at least there is something that is gone anyway. just u stub is sticking up off of the board
