Well, I am delayed. My neighbor is dating a new girl (girl of the month club), but this one has four curtain climbers. Dont get me wrong, I have 6 of my own, and I am a grandpa, but my kids were raised to respect people's property, and stay off out and away from things that dont belong to them. One of them was goofing around my bikes that I left out last night as we are near completion of tearing down my RV and converting it to a flat bed (rotten frame, could not be saved).
Apparently, one of them did some exploring on my daily rider (the wife's Hyosung 650) and found my semi-hidden light power switch that I use cause I got tired of paying 40 dollars for crap relays from Korea that burn off every 90 days, and yes the electrical system is fine, they just use highly proprietary parts of poor quality in some areas of that bike. So they tuned on the lights and left them on all night draining my battery. Yea, went to go make some deposits and load my "for buying parts" prepaid Wally world card, and yep, dead as a door knob.
Had a really fun bitch session asking him to keep those spoiled brats off my property, and I did not think it would be unreasonable for him to cough up a new battery as once they are drained like that (she has a rather tiny battery) they just never come back right. I know it was not me, I started her yesterday and went nowhere just to check the fluids and do my daily look over. And I do not do light checks until I am ready to ride her of go anywhere, so I did not even touch the lights. And I am in the habit of double checking now.
So I have to go buy another battery tender cause I dropped mine and it shattered, literally shattered cause its so old. So, I do not have a daily rider other than the GL1000 until I get this expense dealt with.And I have it on tape, I keep a camera going ever since my daughter fell head over heels for her 3 time felon, 5 time DUI, loser bum of a boyfriend who wants nothing but a nurse with a purse to drive him around, but that's another matter. Told the neighbor I would be happy to show him the footage. He is ordering a battery, and apologized, but still. like I told him, if that bike were to fall on that boy (age 6) what the hell would happen than. Keep those little mungers off my property, and if I find one more air soft pellet laying around my bikes (yea they enjoy target practice) than we will be discussing the lack of supervision with an office of the peace. Yea the nightly F-Bomb festival gets real entertaining too since they are both heavy and avid fans of the drink. And I moved to the country for this? Ugh....
I dont dare crack the carb until the Hyosung is back online is the point of my soap box session, and I want to verify the jets that are in the carb as it comes from Tom. I saw the jets somewhere that he lists yesterday, but I am being cautious.
