    AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!! I can't stand it, it's beautiful outside, no rain, I have the day off, and the stupid R/R won't be here till Tuesday. so what do I do all day instead of ride? Make the STUPID lawn look pretty. I don't care, I'm gonna ride to make favorite little road, I just won't shut it off till I get home. There , thanks I feel better now,

    FYI, you can always push start the bike if the R/R blows. Just put it in 2nd gear and don't sit on the bike. Instead put your hands on the bars and push it and get it going a jogging pace then pop the clutch. Should start right up. After that make sure to park anywhere you can push it again.

    I have a tough time with bump starts, too many knee surgeries, I have been known to park on a good hill though

    I feel your pain- did the same waiting game last week. I felt like the kid on Christmas Story waiting for my parts to come.

    Don't ride it too much, though. Might cook the battery, or wear it down to the point it won't hold a charge.

    Ask me how I know.:rolleyes:

    Ahh quick blast, proper endorphins released, world returned to proper order. You're right VT, don't want to cook the battery, just enough to feel the buzz.

    When you get the part at the dealer - make sure its the correct part - major fins.
    Check post #3 by Sye pic in this thread. Good pic - old on the left, new on the right.

    Spend the day cleaning her and wax it.
    Clean all your gear.
    That should keep you busy
