Hi all,
Just got my new toy a few weeks ago.
http://artmakersworlds.com/testing/Bike/Bike1.jpg
Been riding like crazy, trying to take it easy as it's breaking in yet.
In delivery my kill switch got smashed. (As did the fenders... grrrr. DHL sucks!)
Well today my son wired up a new button, works great!
Next... along with the bike I was sent a tail light complete with wire, and a headlight, need to buy wire. But the guy who sold it to me never really hooked it up. Said he thinks it's a white wire under the motor.
My son is an electronics whiz but he can't figure where any power comes out of this motor. Said no power comes from that wire.
Anyone have a clue? (I could take better pictures if this helps.)
Also I don't know what make/model this motor is. Suppose I should find out. At some point it will need parts. Does anyone recognize this type of motor?
Finally... there seems to be black oil collecting on the front of this motor, and down the exhaust pipe. Occasionlly on my leg too! This can't be good.
Looks like it's seeping out where the exhaust pipe is bolted onto the cooling fin thing. I tried tightening those two bolts once, seemed to help. But didn't completely fix this.
So... any opinions on this? Perhaps I pushed too hard before it was broken in? ruined a gasket???
It's not a bad amount really, just enough to gum up the nice shinny exhaust pipe. Thought I should ask about this.
Finally what is a good product to use to clean that up?
For that matter, any suggestions for cleaning the entire bike would help too.
Thanks....
