The Tear down


today I broke down the bike to a certain extent. I removed the gas tank, side covers, and seat. This exposed the battery (which needed a charge), and the airbox. I removed the left coil (the dysfunctional one), and took it to my friend who has a voltmeter. A voltmeter detects how much voltage is being produced from the coil, the results answered my question. Not nearly enough voltage was being produced to ignite the spark plug, so I set out for a new coil.







This is the final drive belt that I was worried about. These belts are rare and expensive, I was relieved to see that there were no weather cracks and the belt still looked strong.




















I finally remembered to take a photo of my work space, It's a little tight, but cozy and cleaner than the rest of the garage.
