    The gear slector indicator switch is behind the middle gear bearing plate. behind the clutch slave cylinder on the left side of the engine near the shifter. I've got an extra switch if you need it.

    I got Battries Plus to agree that my Odyssey battery was bad and would not hold a charge so they gave me a new one. I put it in the bike and charged it overnight to 13.75 volts. Tried to start it this morning and it did not start. I took the plugs out and cleaned them up and regapped them then reinstalled. After a few minutes of trying to start the bike fired with alot of smoke and ran. As the bike warmed up the smoke cleared out and then the bike seemed to run pretty good. Rode it around the block a few times until I saw a cop in the neighborhood and since I didn't have my helmet on I pulled up the drive way and parked it. shut it off and fired it a couple of times and the bike started without a problem or any smoke.

    fuel pump seems to be working now after sitting for 3 days , Battery was dead again so I took battery back to battery plus. Odyssey battery less than a year will not hold a charge. fully charged it will decharge in 3 days with no load on it. The weather had been bad for the past few days so i haven,t spent much time on the bike. but the next four days is warming up into the seventies so I'll be starting into it tomorrow.

    Went to crank bike yesterday and while hitting start button I heard a diffinate sound then sound of engine turning over changed to it just turning over but no fire and start. I don't hear the clicking of the fuel pump pressurizing anymore. All fuses appear good. I'm thinking fuel pump relay failure. Any thoughts?

    I liked the mod because it illiminated the pain in the ARSE task of reconnecting the bannana/ twinkie hose whenever you had to remove the breather box. I'm still digesting the technical effects of the mod.

    At Sleeperhawks, George had the foresight to TiVo it so we could all watch it before crashing at his house during the SC and North Ga combined monthly M & E, this past weekend. I had one hand over my heart and a tear running down my cheek.

    You Sleeperhawks really know how to party, Dude and Camera Dudette. The entire event was certainly well documented from every possible angle by our Resident PhotoBug. I had a wonderful time and appreciate the warmth and hospitality offered by our gracious host in the beautiful new home. I did not see one unhappy or frowning face the whole time that I was there. Muffin Man was the man in the garage with the tools and synched the carbs and found a pre-existing diaphram problem in a matter of minutes. The bike ran good on the way back but the fuel consumption problem still exist with me getting about 60 mile per tank which really sucks. My time this week will be devoted to the carbs and my dragging starter and weak battery syndrome. The movie showing was great and if anyone noticed my hand over my heart and a single tear running down my cheek, they were certainly heart felt. If ever snoring or plate clearing time trials are ever designated as Olympic events and I make it to the American teams I want Nate there with me on the team because I can seem him going for the gold. Thank you very much George and Bobbie I had a wonderful time, and it was great meeting and seeing all of you at this combined meet & eat.

    Go to Lake City it is a neat little town on the western slope of the rockies. While there look up ole Charlie , he is the county Building Inspector, Health inspector and EMT technition. Tell him I said Hello from the Atlanta, Dragon Slayer. He 's a great guy and put me up at his house while I was passing through last August. Oh yea, while your there ride up to the Gunnison and do the Black Canyon ride, You wont regret it.

    Follow the advice already given. It can be done I'm about 5' 8" and my 87 VR was the first bike I had riden for 36 years after a 150mph combined impact head-on car/motorcycle collision. Now I ride every day and am on my way out the door to ride with Blackjack to meet Wild hair39 and Eck for lunch as they ride through Atlanta. Watch the video, Do the excercises in a parking lot, Practice untill it becomes second nature. Then go to some M&E's

    Us too, when I became aware of it was when the tv program was interupted to say possible tornado touch down in Clarkston, which is where I live. Got the dog in, got ready to run for cover. I looked out the door and it didn't look that bad, but big storm was passing by us a little to the north of the house. It was traveling at 55 mph and within minutes it was heading straight up 78 toward Snellville and BLACKJACK'S house. We watched the live coverage which covered multiple thunderstorms (about 10 or 12) possible tornado and large hail producing rolled across the state west to east. It always seems when we get crappy weather Alabama sends it to us.
