I took mine off and ground off the tabs. I finally tossed it in the garbage. When you hold it it feels heavier than 5 pounds and it looks better with it off the bike. For a lowered bike the center stand is useless anyways. It looks ugly and out of place on the bike.

I was basing that on the diagram. I must be reading it wrong.

It looks like it runs from the gauge lights to the dimmer switch and then powers the headlight.

What is confusing me is when I look at the 85 US diagram there is a blue wire that looks common that is the only one that could be causing the problem. The thing is the way that blue wire connects is different on almost every diagram. It's like the diagrams are full of mistakes.

The turn signals don't go out.

My headlight is going out. At the same time the gauge illumination goes out. To make the lights turn on and off I turn the handlebars. Any guesses at the cause? I keep looking at the electrical schematic and I'm coming up blank.

Not yet. might be a few days. Bike is down for the moment.

Ok but I had the same thing happen and thought all the same things. It was in there and I pulled it out with a coat hanger wire.

I understand the frustration but your friends advice is terrible. Just figure out different ways to see into the case and when you get frustrated just walk away for the day and think about a new method to find it. I had good luck with just a bent wire for feeling around.

And the Chinese want to build our Jet fighters. haha

I think alot of handling problems also come from the swing arm. I'd also check that there isn't play in the swing arm bearings.

Here's some matches and some 93 octane. Time to reflash your bike.

For me the biggest obstacle was finding the washer. Once I found it I had it out in under 15 minutes. I bought a bore scope from harbor freight and used the supplied mirror on the end to find it.

Don't tell me what I can reflash. I'll reflash what ever the **** I want.:rofl_200:

Hmm don't really remember. I do remember that the speed rating was really low. Like 70 mph max. It was a cheap POS tire.

USD forks on these bikes is awesome. Can't wait to see the finished product.

So what do I have to do to reflash my '86? Everyone tells me I'm abusing my bike running 87 so I figure if I reflash it I can run 93. LOL Serious question: if you take pure 87 octane gasoline and add 10% ethanol then the octane rating will be higher since alcohol is somewhere around 120 octane...

Dude your bike is ****** awesome. What kind of shocks are in the rear and how much is it lowered?

Thats ****** luck but I've heard plenty of times of people hitting large birds. You just have to take it and stay up.

I saw that come through on the newsfeed. Sweet bike.
