I have none, when it comes to my bike getting me home. Three out of the last five times I've taken it out, I've had a problem. I've gone from thinking it was electrical to fuel, to electrical and back to fuel. The last time I took it out, I was so stunned that it was happening again. I just barely was able to get it home. I think I fixed the problem, but psycologically, I'm afraid to take it out. Two of the last five times I didn't have a problem and I was starting to get confidence back, then the third time, my confidence was pulverized. I
almost forget what it was like to have an enjoyable ride, without having those thoughts in the back of your head. I built this bike 29 years ago and it's been relatively trouble free up until last year. It's amazing how fast confidence can be destroyed. Joe

joe yes it is hard to loose it but stop & think you said you built it 29 yrs ago , just maybe time to redo it again , how long does it just set up & do nothing ? doing nothing just invites the little demens that just love to mess thing's up so we look like this while they just laugh

Buddy has a 98 RK like that, nomatter what we fixed that sumbyeetch would find another problem.

It's got a 50 mile limit on it for him, over that and it's sure to need a trailer LOL

I think we have most of it fixed sans a few drips of oil.

Take your time and go though everything 29 years is a long time on a bike.

Well I finally took it out on Sunday. Rode it around town for about 20 mins then took it on the highway to the next town and came back without a problem. Maybe 3 or 4 more times and I'll be confident saying that the problem is solved. Thanks, Joe
