Here's the blow-by-blow...('85 K100 RT w 24,000 mile - barely broke in)
I think I either need a new headlight or voltage shedding relay...or a priest...or put the old O-rings back in???
Any thoughts out there from folks you may have gone down this path before?
Thanks in advance!
- Replaced injector O-rings to attempt rough running at 35-4500 rpms.
- While still on the lift, I attempted to start the bike to check for fuel leaks or other badness.
- Fuel pump worked, starter would not engage.
- Determined that neutral switch wasn't closed (even though the green neutral light was on)
- Wiggled shift lever
