bumpity bump...
Rina has come out to play, although kicking and screaming out of bed. Going from a slumbering Rina to a roar was....well....interesting.
The battery came off the charger and into the bike. I also hooked up assistance in the form of a deep cycle Optima.
Twisted the throttle twice, pulled the choke out and hit the start button. Crank crank crank bzzZZZZzzzzz.... WTF was that? Sounded like starter clutch... great... tried again. Crank crank Vroom!! Before could finish my sentance "well that was ea..." Pleah... OK expected that... hit the start button again... crank crank crank crank.... silence...again... crank crank poot poot crank....ah $#&%. Twisted throttle again then pushed start... c..ra.n..k c.r.a.n.k...c.r..an..k....c..r..a..n..k.....WTF?
Turns out the deep cycle battery was... well... lacking... more like old as #$%#. Ditched the helper battery and put Rina's battery back on charge. *Fast forward 3 hours* Installed battery back in, twisted throttle twice. Hit button, crank crank VrooOOOomm.. *idle* *idle* *idle* *idle* *idle* *idle* *idle* Hooray!
Moral of the story... typical woman... "I don't need help, I can take care of myself!"
OK... my fault
Mostly riding to work right now. Hella fun!
just thought I'd give an update
