Hi, well i havent rode the bike in days, so i took her out for a good hour ride, probably more than i ever have yet (its pretty new to me) and was driving her fairly hard tonight, she was running good.
First thing that made me mad was i realized the tab that holds the clutch in was gone, it had vibrated out GRR!!!
then i was riding and toward the end of my hour ride, i noticed the pull handle was hitting on my pedal, so i reach down and it comes off in my hand,
The pull start has always been kinda jank since new, it didnt always grab and kinda slipped sometimes...
So bah, i thought, good to get that out of my way anyways, ill adress it later.
Well im driving, was doing alot of high speed turns on a huge cement parking lot and THANK GOD!!!!!! i was done doing that and going in a straight line down the sidewalk because i abruptly find myself sliding sideways as my rear tire is locked solid
So i push in the clutch to stop my slide out and get the bike stopped. Go to leave again and its SOLID!
Oh great, too high of rpms for too long i thought, engine must be locked? maybe that pull start...
Bring her back to the shop the ole fashion way. Pull off the pull start cover and its just shratenal. OH GREAT, even in the electronic part there is metal and **** in there, its propably ripped all the wires. clean it out, and hop on the bike and she runs ! YAY!
So no i just have to decide what i want to do. Get another pull start system. or just slap the cover on with the gutts all out..
Here is a pic.
