I checked my beloved old girl into the hospital this morning. Visiting hours are from 8 AM to 12 Noon Eastern Time, if you want to visit her.
I told Wilbur about the ignition switch and gave him a printout from the link in the earlier posts here. He sort of scoffs at the idea. He thinks (from experience) that it is the starter brushes, so he is going to pull the starter and clean it. If the brushes are worn enough, he'll go ahead and do that, too. If that doesn't fix the problem, he said he'll look at the switch.
Wilbur hates K Bikes. He is an Air Head guy. But I pay the bux and he does the work anyway. He grumbles alot, but he always comes through.
I know I really should learn how to work on the K. But I am just really nervous and hesistant about working on my own bike. I shouldn't be; I actually started out as an automotive mechanic way back when. But there is something about tearing into my own stuff that scares me.
Maybe if things work out in 3 years, I will keep the old K when I get a new bike, or at least a fairly new bike. Then maybe I'll try my hand at wrenching on my old bike. If I screw something up, no big deal.
Anyway, the lights were screwed up this morning, so at least Wilbur saw what she is doing. Once he thinks he has it fixed, I will repost here to report on what he did...
