    If you are getting absolutely nothing, no lights no radio no cranking no dash display, then it is not a bad safety switch somewhere. It is a power problem. Start by checking the main fuse. Use a meter or test light to make sure there is power on both sides of the main fuse (with the fuse in of course) Disconnect and clean both battery terminals. Disconnect and clean the ground connection. Check for power at each of the fuses, don't probe the fuse itself, probe the actual wire on both sides of the fuse. Once we know the results of this then we can take you to the next step.

    It varies state by state and even between different vehicle types. Some require the plates stay with the vehicle. The seller is not permitted to keep them.

    I got burned once. Sold a car, signed the title, did a bill of sale. buyer had cash. Buyer never registered it. 6 Months later, the police were knocking on my door because the car was use in a felony and still in my name. My lawyer bill was 10X what I got for the car. I now meet the seller at the DMV for the sale.

    I forgot to sign your balloon while you were here. Oh well I guess you will have to do it all over again next year........

    Does it still have the original fuse block with the glass fuses. If so this is a known issue that the fuse clips loose their tension and do not make good contact with the fuse. So even though the fuse id good it still has no connection. Grounds may be in place but are they a good connection? take them apart and clean them up nice and shiny. Same with the battery terminals.

    I picked up a set of H3 HID bulbs to install into my existing driving lights. I will not be able to do this till the SNOW flies.

    Can the oil pan be pulled with the engine in the bike? If it can then do as recommended and pull the pan, pull a bearing cap to check for galling, pull a valve cover to check the cam, do a compression check. If you can do these things with the engine in the bike and repair the pump drive in the bike, then you do not have the hassle of an engine swap and will have minimal cost involved. Does anyone know if that pump drive can be repaired without pulling the engine?

    We just had a news story last night recommending you not drive in the inside lanes because that is the lane wrong-way drivers are always in. the freeways in Milwaukee have had 21 wrong way drivers so far this year. and those are just the ones that got caught, how many realized their mistake and either turned around or took the next exit off.......

    On my furnace it is a small micro switch with a square piece mounted to the lever, when the fan is blowing the wind pushes it hard enough to close the switch. Mine is really buried and was hard to get to, so I can not get a pic of it without significant disassembly.

    I just had to fix my heater for Bongobobny. It was dust and crud on the sail switch not letting it close. But mine just had fan and no light at all.

    If you run two switches to one relay either switch will turn on everything connected to the relay. To do what I think you want to do you will need 2 relays. Easy Cougar.......

    She figured she had tonnage and was waiting for you to get out of her way. There are a lot of people that really believe tonnage has the right of way.

    I think I would do a compression check and pull a valve cover to have a look at the cams and IF both look good, replace the bad parts and run it.

    Good to hear that things are looking up. Not all CL jobs are crooks. the big warning signs are all new employes starting at the same time and or you being the only employe. I have found some good temp jobs to supplement my income from CL. just have to be careful.

    Shrinking it down and stuffing it all in a nice small box is the easy part, You already did the hard part. I wonder if you could count the vacuum pulses from one of the sensors to get a tach reading??? that way you do not have to tap into the bike electrics anywhere or need an additional input. Like if you are doing a 2nd gen where there ain't no tach. (hey they had to make a tough choice tach or cassette......) Nice job, it looks very interesting. And made for 2 cylinders.

    The stock headlight is 55/60 watts, my HID is 35 W for both hi and lo beam. When I have the two 55w driving lights on also the electrical system is just barely keeping up, if I had a stock headlight I don't think it would make it. I am planning to change the driving lights to two 35W HID and also have the upgrade stator and R/R to put in. I want to add a LOT more lights. You could save a lot of power by changing all of the Barons to LED bulbs.

    It was just another cruel hoax.....

    Around here the trees are not going through the color phase. With the drought we had this summer many trees are just turning brown and dumping the leaves. It will be a weird year for fall colors.

    I just had to give a copy of this to a coworker that is a scoutmaster and drives the kids in an old beatup passenger van......... He didn't care for the ending though.....

    When you say EACH shock has zero pressure?? Unless you have progressive springs in the front I thought you want some pressure in them.

    Your not alone, My in-laws moved to FL because that is what retired folk are supposed to do, it only took 2 years and they moved back to northern WI where the weather is better. They called for a very cold winter with a lot of snow last year and we had one of the the warmest driest winters on record........ Messed me all up, the bike never got put to bed for the winter so none of my planned winter projects ever happened, now I have even more projects for this winter......
