Duc Hunting PTII

was92v · 07-24-2009, 11:00 PM

Update, I have the mechanical problems fixed, repaired, lined up, adjusted, lubed and aired up. Fresh oil & filter is done. Now I just need to clean everything up and put the body work back on. The "bad" rear master cylinder was a linkage adjustment and pedal adjustment. The front tire is an odd size, a 130/70-17. I didn't even know they made that size.. Spike is going to need new tires soon anyway.
It does have one strange "feature", the engine won't run with the side stand down. I guess that gets around some safety law since it has no clutch safety switch, but it is a pain in the ass when you can't run the engine unless you are sitting on it with the kick stand up. I need to test the switch and see if it is an open or closed kill circuit and take corrective action. I think I'll go riding Sunday, for as long as my wrists let me..
