Because we had it all apart chasing an open ground that ended up being a blown CDI. (DCI?) I appreciate that they give me this option. I can take things apart put them back together but when it comes to anything technical I need help. I have full faith in these guys it's just that they're swamped. He promised me he'd give it a good hard ride before he gives it back to me so that I can take off with confidence. We're becoming friends. I totally understand how blessed I am to have an experienced mechanic who appreciates RPM the way I do and isn't wishing I was on a Harley. Cornhuskers suck so bad that I'll be able to ride on Saturdays until it gets cold Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Below 15 degrees? I'm crazy, not stupid! I generally put her up once they start salt and sanding our roads. Then get her out on the 3rd 60 degree day in a row in the spring. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I have never had an issue with it. He made a note on my repair bill last time it was in. When we talked about it he seemed concerned that it was in pretty toasty condition. He would rather have me do that than me pay him to take off all the plastic to get to it to replace. I'm good with that if I can find one Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Okay sorry everybody. My mechanic says mine is currently working but is very concerned about its condition. As I mentioned just prior I did Google it but didn't see any new parts come up. There's a guy currently on eBay with a used one for $6.95. And a few others in that price range. I just thought if one of you guys had one I'd spend the money with you.

Thanks for that great information. When I Googled it one came up on eBay used but I didn't see any listings for new parts. Also just leads me to another question that's been bothering me. When I turn the key on before starting the bike I hear what I assume would be the fuel pump doing what you just told me it does pre-start. Although it sounds more like the level ride on my old El Dorado when it would pump up it when you started it. I guess I just don't know what that sound is Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Well here it is the 4th Friday in a row that my bike's been promised I'd have for the weekend from the mechanic and I'm afraid to call him today. I just want to run four or five tanks through that thing this weekend... Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

MSR doesn't seem to include an igniter. Another brand does and the money's about the same. Not going to need it til Spring. If my parts show up soon I could be riding any day now! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I have the same questions as I'm wanting to buy a lift Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Nope. It's the place Private Mayo screamed about in An Officer and a Gentleman, "I got no place else to go!" I probably should snoop around KC for a purdy gal. I haven't seen an attractive age-appropiate gal in these parts in several years. ( maybe I need to drop the word gal from my vocabulary?) The other part is that Age appropriate part, To be appropriate now means even older than when I quit looking 10 years ago. I tried Match.com for a minute, was very popular with the over 55, over 200 lbs. Ladies. I chose celibacy over suicide :-( :-( And... with mornings like this I don't think I'll be doing any tent camping under the cell towers this year. But hey the weekend days look great if he really does get it done and ready to ride. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Bad editting. Was supposed to say "he" wants to ride. But Missouri isn't far away from Omaha... Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Great news! They have my bike outside the door ready to come in next. He says couple more days. He says it'll be ready to climb on and head to Chimney Rock or the Ozarks or anywhere I'm ready to go! I walked in, flashed a big smile and told him I ordered my snowmobile suit... He laughed. Now he's agreed to go ride with me when I get it back. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Crossing Central Missouri one night, a huge bullfrog jumped just so I nailed him 8" up smack in the center of the front tire. He exploded all over my legs and cooked onto the exhaust on my 650. Can hear the sound of that frog splat to this day! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
