The kz gods dont like me today
15 Sep 2009 13:18
Argh its a beutifal day today, and im stuck driving the car to work....argh. I went out to start the z1, turned the key on and hit the starter and the battery was dead......fair enough because i havent rode it in almost 3 weeks. Then i went to fire up my 650, it took a few try's but it fired over.......but of coarse it was running like crap, so i knew i had to adjust the points.....i just have been putting it off, i went to loosen the 2 screws for the 1 and 4 cylinder set of points and they just turned and didnt come out or tighten back up. Shit......no i dont know if the threads on the srews are bad or if the threads on the points plate are bad. Any ideas? I just want to ride.

Probably stripped screws(hopefuly the threads are still good)if not, either Heli-coils or Time-serts will repair the problem.

For sure a sign...It's talking to you. Take heed.

Another way to look at it bud....
The old girl is telling you something such as...
Look numbnuts
, I'm old and tired, you ignored me for 3 weeks, haven't paid attention to me thus my battery drained and your lazy ass won't fix me with newer technology ignition.... If you ride me as is, I'm going to throw a temper tantrum and leave your ass stranded.... Then we'll both be really pissed.... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
See, not much difference in GF/wife/KZ...:blink: They're females damn it so WTF do you expect...
Put the EI in, you won't be disappointed...
