    Drained Battery and maybe recovered?

    I use a trickle charger..(battery tender brand) seems to work ok. The most amount of time its been off the charger was 4 days and it still started fine. Who knows though..maybe the 9 day trip we have coming up will prove how many discharges is too many. Oh...BTW..it was completely dead all...

    Drained Battery and maybe recovered?

    Drained my battery 3 times this year. Still using it.. I'm doing it on purpose though, to test my theory on how long a battery would last after draining it 5 times in a year..only 2 more to go. :lol:

    Who served in the military

    Holy Shiet.. Now I know why the Navy is "Not just a job..its an adventure" If you got laid at PI ..well..lets just say..it would probably have been very uncomfortable. Loved the Russian story. I went in the Marines at 17. By the time I was 19 I was directing artillery fire. It didn't seem...

    Who served in the military

    OH..Oh.. I got another one..the wet pants remidended me. Private Smith was having a hard time asking for permission to use the head. DI's want it stated a specific way when requesting ANYTHING. First you have to request permission to even speak..etc.. Anyhow..Private Smith couldn't get it...

    Who served in the military

    I guess I should finish my "squeel like a pig story" We were only a couple of days into boot camp and hadn't had a shower since recieving. The platoons first shower consists of running thru real quick..LOL. If you've been there you know what I mean. I made the mistake of talking without...

    Who served in the military

    This may have been done...but I thought being 4th of July might be a good time to see who served in the military. Maybe just your branch, mos, favorite duty station, years you were in, etc...I'll start.. Served from 1979 thru 1985 in the USMC. Went to Parris Island for boot camp. Quite the...

    Low beams not working

    For all those that told me... keep it simple dumbass, its probably just the bulbs. You were right. You guys probably had nothing else to do but answer my stupid questions.. :lol:

    Low beams not working

    Thanks bustanut..I get answers with an attitude...you must know my ex-wife.. :lol: Really though..I appreciate all the help. I usually don't go right to the complicated stuff first..but when both bulbs go at the same time it sends up a red flag.

    Low beams not working

    My low beams aren't working on my 2003. Removed the switch and cleaned...even lost the spring..LOL Looks like the switch just closes the high beam circuit. Checked the fuse..looks like it does both so wasn't that. Maybe the bulb..but would seem odd that both would be out.. unless the low...

    Amatuer Road Racing

    Going to a school and track day in a couple weeks. With this schoo..minimal bike mods are required. So gonna use the stock R6. After the school, and I get my licence (maybe) I plan on getting a track bike already modded. I'm thinking it would be cheaper and better to go that route than to...
