I am learning that the guy I got the bike from was a bit shady and did not disclose nearly the number of problems he should have.
I had a good talk with the bike mechanic when I picked up my bike. He did not fix the leak. Says that would have gone outside of my budget by a long way.
What he did fix was my carburetor and my choke and re-routed my throttle cable so i didnt accelerate as i turned corners.
Did not have anyone to take me to get my bike so i had to pick it up with my trailer. Brought it home and immediately took it for a rip. Made it about 1 block before it conked out and died. WTF. Would not restart at all. Dead battery. Some dude on rollerblades with no shirt and 2 wiener dogs rode up to me as i was pushing it home and says he heard me a block away and it sounded like my air filter was clogged.
Got the bike home, threw it on the trickle charger and took out the air filter. Charged it up, started it up. Time to go around the hood again. 10 minutes, no problems. 20 minutes, no problems. Going to go home. Parked it. Had to go to work. Next day, i'm off. Did the same small route to make sure all was good. Seems good. Decided to go for a bit further of a ride. Went to my father's house, about 30 minutes away. Took back country roads and stretched it to about an hour. Had a coffee at his place. Went to leave, dead battery. WTF. Not liking this trend. After 2 boosts along the way I managed to get home.
Time for some electrical troubleshooting. Took seat off and wiggled one of my butt connectors that i did a few days earlier. One of the wires popped right out, wasn't even connected.
Had an electrical buddy come over and he properly did them with a heat gun, etc., and they were tight.
We did all the multimeter tests and all seemed good; bike off, battery not connected, battery connected bike on, etc., all combinations seemed good with power.
Bike started this morning with no problems. I wont be able to ride again for any period of time until Thursday but I am hoping the regulator not being connected with all wires was the cause of the battery dying.........the saga continues...
