Off Topic during Carb Week, but here goes!
My DR let me down twice in 24 hrs by refusing to swing. A co-ord fella can, in fact, bump start this DR, right first time this morning but on a downhill, lucky for me, I stopped on a hill to check, and it proved genius, it not wek !!! clack clack clack vokkol. Oops.
So I learned three things today.
(1) You can strip these lekker old school starter solenoids, clean it up, clean the contacts, grease up the plunger and put it back together . HELL YEAH. Try THAT on your sealed unit R1200GS Can Bus Uber Teknik huh !!!! 18 years later and good as new.
(2) Do not underestimate the importance a nice clean tight high-current connection to the starter, the root cause of the No-Go.
(3) No other mans work will come anywhere close to the detail, caring, and precision of your OWN. Trust No One.
Ok, Murphy, what ELSE have you in store for me, because I cannot for the life of me imagine anything else left on this bike besides the bowels of the gearbox, that I have not thoroughly attended to...
I think a rip around Cape Point ...er.....sorry Vaalies........
