  1. this kinda off the subject but its not like this thread hasnt already been every direction and back any way...

    i was at a light in the left turn lane and a harley full dresser looking thing pulls up with a beared old fella and his lady friend. i was wearing my sinner helmet that day and the guy looks over and says "nice helmet whats your girlfriend think of that" and i replied "dunno.... nice bandanna" in a joking manner not tryin to be a smart ass or anything. but then the buy blurps his bike and says "nice bike my radio is louder" and him and his woman start laughing. i was annoyed at this point but i wish i had a picture of the guys face when i replied "problem is your bike has a radio!" hahahaha!!!! the light turned green in perfect timing and i was off leaving him there with a look of wtf on his face.

  2. Dont you mean varnish... by the way.. Gas looses about 2 octane points a month when stored. At least thats what Ive read. Even more if its summer and in a plastic can. I never use additives for storage. I fill my tank to the top to avoid condensation in the tank and Im done with it. Once summer hits, I run the tank damn near bone dry and fill it with the good stuff.

    now gas and fuels is something i do know about... i drive a bulk semi and my family owns a petroleum marketing company. and flounder is right thats all u need to do top it completely off and run it nearly empty the first time.

  3. Sorry to hear about this. However' date=' a conceal carry permit wouldn't have helped in this situation as you cannot carry in a 'class d' establishment. (places that serve alcohol for on site consumption) All we can do is hope the legal system doesn't fuck this up.[/quote']

    yea i know ccw couldnt have helped but i was just saying it might have prevented it. and what is really messed up is the killer is only looking at like 15 years to life! dont seem fair!! unless they change it later that is all so far.....

  4. Suggestion for next time - take the battery out in the winter and store it inside in room temp. I have done this for years and never even need to charge it. If I do, it is minimal...

    Another note - DO NOT start your bike up and run it over winter in an effort to keep the battery charged. All it does is actually drain teh battery every time you do that. You need a certain RPM under load to get the battery charged via being connected to the charging system of the bike.

    For now, the suggestions listed are good to go with. Buy a Battery Tender and you'll be set for next time. For now, give her the proper charge and don't hook it up until you go riding again....

    thanks for the info the year before i actuallyl kept my bike in the house but i remodled and couldnt get the bike in anymore.

    i just wanna make sure im on the same page now. the suggestions listed you agreed with are just go ahead and put the 2 amp charge on it and disconnect the positive leads to protect the fuel injection?

  5. I got a problem and i know how i want to take care of it but im just looking for opinions or suggestions.

    MY battery is not totally dead just not enough juice to crank the motor:mad:. So the logical thing is charge the battery, but i really dont wanna take the bike apart to get the battery out. what i want to do is charge it while its in the bike but im worried about fryin my ecm. i was just gonna put in on a 2amp charge but im still worried.

    So is this gonna be a total back fire or am i gonna be ok. And the next question is where is the optimum place to hook the negative hook up. (other than the negative terminal duh) I dont think i can get the the neg terminal with out taking the gas tank off.

    thanks for the opinions and help. like i said im just worried about frying computer stuff.

    B.S.
