[QUOTE="danf, post: 35974, member: 2"] Well, I had one break down requiring my wife and trailer it was 3 miles from home in Kansas, I had my Yamaha xs-1100 and it was new to me but a 28 year old bike at the time and I just got it, I rode it around the area and all of a sudden everything just quit working, lights and all, oh man, thank goodness I had my cell phone [Night time, pure darkness]], I called the wife and she hooked up my trailer and came out and got me, I found the fuse box to be in poor condition, I had some fuse connectors so I just rewired the whole lot of them and labeled them with auto type fuses and never had another problem.. The next time, I broke a clutch cable on Thankgiving day and I rode home in first gear, about 2 miles, and the only other time was a trip from Chicago to San Antonio on my 750 kawa, I rode 24 hours down there stopped to sleep at a motel, now on the way back I rode it 24 hrs. straight[young nut], I left at 7am and got to Chicago about 7am the next day, but I skipped into town literally the chain stretched to it's limit and I had to stop a few times to adjust it, that was around 1988...So I have had pretty good luck, knock on wood... I'm going to KC from SA. this weekend again, so this is why I ask... [/QUOTE]
