Ok.. so last night, I packed the shorties (pipes), put on the new coils, wires and plugs... and gave it a good cleaning. Looking sweet
This morning, I put in the freshly painted battery bucket, connected everything and pushed the starter. She kicked right over and sounded beautiful... Fast forward an hour... getting ready for work. Put the key in, pressed the starter and heard the engine turn once... then BZZZZZT (ok, that sounded bad... let's try again) BZZZZZT
So, I didn't have time to check anything, but I'm about 90% sure the starter motor ate itself
I'm not happy. So, I'm thinking "well, there's another 400 bones". I just looked on BikeBandit and the motor assy is $858.22!!!!! Are you freakin kidding me!?!?
Ok... mostly, this was just a rant, but if anybody knows of a cheaper place to get a starter motor (used, referb, whatever) please let me know.
