Nah, I'm dog tired. About to call the insurance company to file the official report. I had a great time overall. It was still worth the trip, so long as the bike ain't damaged. Looks alright from what I could tell.

check the drive shaft, when you lift it the driveshaft becomes at more of an angle and can start to rattle...

If it turns off at the same time, it's usuallya burned wire at teh ignition switch. The big brown one.

'88 Renix MJ, tilt wheel

Interested in a push button start mod, without the need for keys. I don't care about the theft aspect; I want simplicity. Any handy links for bypassing the ignition switch and steering lock?

I'm gonna unpack and set up my computer to search, but I'd appreciate any info or links in the meantime.

Here ya go:
Can anyone tell me the right way to stop the flywheel safely? I need to pull out the harmonic balancer, and I already pulled out the big bolt. Now with the special puller, the engine keeps turning, and I'm stuck. Thanks.

Keep in mind he has a diesel, and English isn't his first language.
