I'm guessing that my tracker is about 315 lbs but it's still in progress. But it won't go up much if at all. Your bike is very different , I like it. Once a bike gets customized it becomes artwork of the builder , no 2 the same. I wanted something different no more cookie cutter bikes. Found me a 96 savage with 809 miles for 1500 bucks and called RYCA . 2 years later its almost done! Not so sure a dual air filter is gonna fit !

Had a little problem getting it started at the Twisted Sisters.
Multiple problems combining to be a b!tch.
I put a battery monitor on and it has some parasitic drain.
Which I expected, but the warning lights are set up for a standard bat so it more or less useless in this case... off it comes.
I checked the voltage and it was 12.78v, normal is 13.28v.
But it would start if the moon and the stars cooperated.
But for the most part, I had to set it on the compression stroke manually.
And when dead cold it did help to hold back the decomp and push cycle the engine to get it primed.
Fearing the decomp was stalling, I backed off the adjustment.
I shoulda had no fear, now I have to readjust it.

I'm gonna have to check the charging voltage on the bike and my schumaker. I don't recall seeing the voltage over 13.3 with the schumaker so that may be causing extended charge times.
And we've noted that the bike isn't meant to fully charge a dead bat.
So it may have just gotten too discharged to do what it's supposed to do.

California Gender:	Re: Versy's beast Reply #78 - 04/21/16 at 21:09:01 I forgot to note that in trying to start, the starter stalled. And the battery protection would disconnect the battery for about 5 seconds. When tried again it was out for 10 seconds. And it got to the point of wondering if it was coming back. Fully charging it made the cut out non existent or very short.

Upon removing the controller, I found the connector was corroded. might explain the intermittent operation of the decomp. Working out with 2 terminals to jump... where's my keys?

The continuing saga of verslagen1...
worked out the jumper to eliminate the decomp controller.
and she starts when the button is pushed. now to make it permanent.

Update: I found the connector diagram in clymers has the pins identified by function.

but now I got to work on the stocker... she's developed what I thought was a head gasket leak.
Turned out to be the flange has broken off the pipe. good thing I gotta spare.

Found some triumph boots, they are a bit long but they fit if I let rise up over the cuff. Makes it look like a dirt bike.

Still wasn't charging after replacing the rotor... went back to square 1 and replaced the rectifier.
Didn't have a spare so we went searching at a local shop... gimme something with 5 wires.
Got one for a Chinese 150 somethinoruther for $7 and it works.
but no sooner then that is fixed something new... she's leaning out.
Today I checked out the muffler and the core is blowing out.

Flipping the switch to get to work again was how I narrowed down the cause too.
The quick fix was to short out the switch.
A proper fix would be to dissemble the switch and clean the contacts.
Which was something I didn't want to do before the ride as it would have been 50/50 the next day.

The bottom screw that holds the controller on the handlebar won't come undone and I am afraid of breaking the housing.
