I got one of the ones from DB electric a couple years ago for my 81, it fit correctly and spun the engine over a lot faster than my old one. Not saying they couldn't be having the same problems now, but it was a good deal then.

It wasn't my first bike, but my first street bike i bought for $500 when i was 18. I wish i had it back, was a 1980 KZ650 in metallic blue. Sure had a lot of fun on that bike :Egyptian:

Been riding the aspencade to work most days in spite of the 100-106 degree temps............ :heat:

Had a new rear tire put on, I pulled the wheel and took it to my local bike shop where he mounted the new tire for free. I went with a new tire he suggested, a Michelin Commander that's supposed to have two different rubber compounds. A harder compound down the center for mileage and softer on...

lol, i save the cheap plastic containers from ham and turkey lunchmeat :)

ok guys, i am a forklift mechanic and i work on both gas and electric forklifts so i know my way around an ohm meter very well. One ohm resistance to ground is basically a dead short. when reading ohms, the higher the number, i.e. 50,000-2,000,000 ohms, the better your insulated. so aaples...

i agree with slabghost, 13.2 volts at idle is just fine for a 12 volt battery. I don't think any of my cages charge much more than that at idle. You don't want much more than 14.3 volts at maximum anyway. :)

Chas, that sounds like Murphy's tire and tube mounting lube :music:

BTW, I sure hope you are feeling much better, Joe. You are in our prayers, as you are in so many others

sure was a good time, Joe. Planning on doing a lot more of it this season. She has a twin brother and i also have a 16 year old girl that loves to ride, so I think they will keep me busy, lol. :Egyptian:

Then i had an 83 GpZ750 that was also a lot of fun, but a little too laid down riding position for very long rides

Took my Aspy for a 30 mile ride this evening with my daughter, just rode the back roads enjoying the views :music: Uploaded with ImageShack.us

sorry no pictures, but after the 1969 yamaha 125 enduro when i was 15, i bought my first street bike at 18, a 1980 KZ650 my parents cosigned my first ever loan and bought it for $500 :good: I had a lot of good times on that bike

Hey Slabghost, that Yamaha that was your first looks exactly like my first bike, except mine was white! 1969 125 enduro :good: :good:

I don't pray a whole lot either Joe, but I will pray for you........ God bless and heal you. Bob
