    well, I went and got all legal today, inpection and plates, and wouldn't you know it, I'm at the inspection making sure everything works and my head light is out. lucky it was I fuse and I swaped it out and all good, then I had a new tire put on and they gave me a piece of brake line that I taped on so it looked like it worked:roflmao: when I pulled the brake lever, since I had a screw on the end it made preasure so the light came on:roflmao: but I had the shop order me one and will be here monday, but all is good got plates and the inspection sticker

    it's been raining everyday, rode monday and it rained all day long, with the bike sitting in it. rode it home on wednsday and had to ride with the choke out all the way home. rode to work today and I was able to put the choke in but still slugish on the power, acts like I have bad gas or water in it, so I put in some b 12 and it still acts real slugish like it's starving for gas when I try to give it gas fast, it runs fine when I'm at idle, don't know but something's not good, was running fine till it sat out in the rain all day. any Ideas. it actually acts like it's going to stall out on me when I try to give it gas to fast, so when it does that I pull the choke and it gives me the gas to keep getting the speed up.

    check the gas filter/s.....vent in cap plugged with rain/dirt....pinched fuel line...bad gas/ dirty gas. some fuel stops dont take the extra step to protect from dirt/rain getting into there fuel tanks.......happens a lot when it rains in the houston area..........stations are always paying to get customers fuel tanks cleaned.................let us know!!!!!!:)
