K-pox killer. There is a k75 not far from me that's up for sale and not a hateful price. Have been considering a looksee... Please pass the inhaler.

I fear you are doomed, my friend.

This will only end after you lose the arguments over having the wife park her car in the driveway to make more room in the garage.

Of course, the most significant argument will arise after you stumble into the first Brick in a line of Bricks in your garage parked next to your wife's convertible and they tumble domino-effect with the last one falling and imprinting its contour into the flowing lines of her vehicle. I've heard that can happen sometimes. After that, you won't need nasal spray.

No way that ever happened!

Nevertheless, the fear of its happening can fuel a compelling—perhaps even perpetual—argument that ends in conquest by attrition. That is the main reason why mattresses are placed on edge between Bricks and significant others' vehicles worldwide.

Well Lucky for me I only have a big shed! The imprint will be in the lawn mower. I have a very addictive compulsive behavior pattern. Example: I own about 30 Bicycles. They range from 1949 to 2022. Don't ride them all but they are MINE! Feel like Gollum from the hobbit "MY Precious". Alternator  - Page 2 1f605  There are plans to enlarge the shed to get all the troublesome lawn tools ect out of "my shop". At that time I may be seriously looking at K75's. I Need one! Rolling Eyes

Well it looks like the old Devil is sorted out for now. All seems to be working great at this time. Took her out for a lets go get lost ride yesterday. Did 170 miles and not a glitch. Very nice ride on Maryland's Eastern shore. Longest ride on this bike to date.  cheers
 Thanks again for all the help.

We have many a Tar snake on the Eastern Shore. It is an artform for sure. They also do a lot of tar n chip in the summer. Not fun on a bike.
Did you notice the lady cheering me on?

Over at the clubhouse across the inlet? It seems like a gender-free zone from this distance. Smile

That's the very reason why psilocybin breaks were struck from highway department contract negotiations, but they're still being called asphaltoglyphs by state chamber of commerce officials to increase regional tourism.

That was done by Caltrans. They get the best drugs of any highway department. affraid

I did. Is that the Limited Edition BMW Barbie? She'd be worth more if left in the original packaging! Where is K-Bike Ken?

Tried to find K-Bike Ken but to no avail. Sad The matched set would have been off the charts!

I just jumped into this thread today, because my bike won't start...AGAIN. The battery is to low to start the bike after fully charging said battery a week ago. The bike sat after charging, due to it being rainy season here. When I hooked up the ground cable (detatched because my starter relay bonded again). I hit the start button and just get the fuel pump. The fuel pump runs the entire time I hold the starter button. 

I'm going to go through all of the wire connectors and clean them to see if there is something dirty going on between them. 

I am glad I read through this post. Thanks guys.

New battery when I bought the bike 2.5 months ago. Was charging at 13.59 at idle at the battery and only 13.62 at 2500 rpm.

I'll do some cleaning between floods and report back.

Have you checked the brushes in your starter?  Worn brushes can cause a multitude of problems.

I have not yet, but I will. It was starting in a millisecond before I ran the battery down this last time.

May want to do a load test on the battery as a complete discharge can kill a battery. Have you tried to jump the bike?

Thanks fish, it wasn't a complete run down, just enough to stick the replay points together.

I’m having the same exact symptoms as the OP. Reading this makes me think my positive cables could be shot as well. I dismantled my alternator so I can check out the condition of the brushes. I need to see how to replace those too.

The brushes and the regulator come as one sealed unit. I usually pay around £14 for them new off ebay. Motorworks have s/h ones for £25 each.  It's a common regulator but make sure that the one you buy has the brushes at 90 degrees to the body.
