I have nothing to add. Just here for the jokes.

Re: Starting issues
Brother finally arrived with the volt metre today, everything checks out A-one current wise right up to the start motor. Looks like the starter is shot. We looked at it and decided that this is a job best left to the pros, so now waiting for baby brother to come back with a trailer and off to the shop it goes. May as well get them to do a full service while they have it. Sigh, the joys of owning a bike and a small parking space in an underground garage.
Always ask why.

Re: Starting issues
In the shop as we speak, getting a bunch of work done on as well as replacing or fixing the starter. Should be good to go on the 15th.NorthernPete wrote:so howd this go?
