  1. I had trouble believing that bike came in with any problems. I do believe 'rocket so something must have happened between the time it was traded and the time 'rocket got it. It's worked out so it's back the way it should be. Recent valve adjust, I know that much:)
  2. Red Rocket bought that from them the day after they got it on a trade. He had to take it back and demand his money back because it had all sorts of electrical problems. Yamaha of Columbus said they got it that way and hadn't had time to go through the bike. That's straight from 'rocket. Make sure all the electrics work before you pick it up.
  3. I thought you were already married! Congratulations to you both!
  4. JD's Honky Tonk and Emporium. That's a problem right there
  5. Go on some FZ1 forums, Google, etc. and find out where the ports are, how to get to them, what size they are and what the recommended Hg is for all 4 cylinders and I have a carb synching tool. You can stop by on a weekend to do it. Some guys on here have your bike and probably know all the answers.
  6. God. I've never heard a more perfect statement! Reppies
  7. Wow, hard to say. In the first part, I started thinking pinched fuel line from not being careful lowering the tank after service. Now we're talking electrical. The battery is only used to start the bike. After that, the generator takes over all the electrical demands. After all this time the brushes may be worn in the generator and it's not charging so you're running on battery until it gives out. If the battery is bad it won't hold a charge. Generally, if you fully charge it and the voltage drops below 12.6 or 7 overnight all on it's own without any drain on it, then it's time for a fresh one. The battery is the easiest thing to test first. It really sounds like you need to check any wiring that could be chaffed. Could be an ignition switch, too. Again, wiring related. Try fiddling with the key while you're trying to start it, and if you do get it running, check voltage at the battery to see how the generator's putting out. I keep going to ignition switch. That or kickstand switch. GL!
  8. Good to see you guys. I went left out of there to pick up the scraps of 374, turned around and rode it back out. I hate sitting at that stop sign waiting to get out. I couldn't believe all the traffic Southbound on 33. It was backed-up all the way to 104! Last non-holiday weekday I'll be able to enjoy for a while. It was perfect weather, though.
  9. There is no turn on a motorcycle that doesn't start with counter steering.
  10. The movements you input to the bars are very minute. You'll find that you ride much better if you do it instinctively instead of methodically. Just ride the bike. Never stop riding the bike. No matter what.
  11. Yea with that motor home she calls an ass.
  12. I went into work and we had a TV set up to watch games on. They were showing the WTC with something about a plane crash. I thought of that B-25 that crashed into the Empire State Building in 1945. Soon, we all found out that it wasn't and accident. A surreal day for certain. The Speedway across the street was selling gas for $6 a gallon.
  13. I'm going to try for this - maybe Rosso can make it too.
  14. Always sad to see any life end but if you're not going to treat your life with any kind of value and commit virtual suicide, at least don't put other lives in danger or make anyone else feel bad for being in the way.

    Awesome picture!
  16. It's only too bad about that poor guy's pick-up truck.
  17. Always great news! Congratulations!!!
