Kirill ~ oh ya..ya that makes sense.

Dave~ oh im not runnin around with an unhooked batt. I just thought it was supposed to run fine w/o one. Thought that maybe be a clue into my electrical problem.

Serowbot ~ ya every so often she locks up. What I have to do after i get on is kinda hop up and land with all my weight when I pop the clutch. I prolly weigh between 150-160...hmm...i dunno im kind of a fatty at the moment.

Versy ~ Exhaust stroke, big gear, bump it forward, operate decomp lev? Hmm.. I don't understand why or how that works. If it's not too much trouble to elaborate I'd appreciate it. sounds like something I should know.

Jog2 ~ hmm... I guess it would be kinda cool if I didn't need a battery at all.. but I got stuck in a lot of traffic last night and had to shut her down once in awhile so it wouldn't overheat. I thnk.. ya.. even though I run synthetic it would overheat just sitting in traffic for a bit right? It seems like it would have to be pretty cold out to be able to stand some of the traffic down here in SoCal. Normally I just go around or split but often times it's unavoidable.   At any rate, I wouldn't want to have to keep starting it like that in traffic all the time. Last night i unhooked the leads, tested, she was 12.39 volts (the starter was trying real hard to turn the engine over at that voltage) then hooked up to the charger. This morn the charger was on float, unhooked it and read 13.24vdc @ 8:52am. Ever since then I've been hooking up the meter and checking it every 15-20min, and its been slowly decreasing. Its 10am and shes at 12.79. Is that normal? When I put the battery back in i'll rev with the meter and see what happens
