I’ve also pulled the plug and given it a look. Didn’t look too bad. I have about 100 miles on the new plug and cylinder. Picture in next post.

My thanks to Mr. Admin for moving my thread and renaming it at my request. Now that I’ve spent more time here on the boards it just seemed like the build folder was a better home for this thread and I felt the name of the thread felt better than “death.” Especially now that it’s alive again and riding. Many thanks to all who are here reading and posting. I quite enjoy time spent here.

If all blinkers light up like that you may want to check you're Flasher relay and check you're Hazard relay as either one may have become loose or failed.

 Is this part important? Looks like an immobilizer alarm of some kind. Bike is on a diet, losing weight. |

Looks like an alarm. Normally more trouble than they are worth.

So today was light day. I picked up a pair of LED lights at Tractor Supply for $40. My original intention was to split a single and try to modify my headlights to accept the new LED elements. Nope. The bulbs are on a circuit board. Then I started looking for a place to mount the lights I had. After exploring several options I figured in the front cowl was the best spot. Then I just had to get them there. I took the front fairing apart a lot and added perforated angle iron (a door guy’s favorite building material) to the sides of the fairing using existing screws. I then braved the two sides together using a piece of leftover 1” aluminum angle. I hacked into the wiring harness for the front marking lights and ran power off of them. The light seems to be ok and yes it’s extremely close to everything important in the front end. So far I’ve ridden 5 miles on it and I’m sure I’ll have to retighten things tomorrow. Now I need to switch over from mobile version to desktop so I can post the pictures.

Last night I decoded what 8/9ths of the wires in the scooter side are. I need to verify the 9th critical tachometer input and then do the magnet epoxy trick to the rim and fabricate a bracket for the pickup unit.
By Sunday afternoon I may have a working cluster.
