Look for little green grounding wires that screw to points on the frame, and make sure they're clean and tight. Find the fuse box, pull out the...
Get another one and make this one into a parts bike, maybe. I know guys whose bikes were stolen, then recovered and they got them back, and...
What year/size is it? Doesn't sound like r/r to me, so much as it sounds like what happens to a mid-80s model when there's a loose wire in one of...
If it's stolen, then the right thing to do is to get it back to the person it was stolen from, or the insurance company who paid off when it was...
