She's pretty beat up, but she runs. I got her starting again. I think I messed her up when I jumped her with the car running. Heard a clicking noise near the TCI and I thought it was bad, but did some searching in the forum and online and did some tests and figured out she has a bad solenoid. Switch wire wasn't working so I just bypassed the starter solenoid with a flat head screwdriver. So I just ordered me the solenoid on ebay for like $12. It feels great to solving an issue without having to go to a mechanic. Thanks for internet and forums and service manual which is great to have to. I'm still kinda new to bikes. I'm still learning how to ride one, but I'll get her down. I've only taken her out like 3 times in my block. She's a beast. She sounds like a harley.

My bro let me try out his Gixxer 1000. Pretty nice.

Looking good. Keep up the good work. Probably sounds like a Harley cause of the straight pipes. Haha.

Thanks. Once I get my starter solenoid in this week, pop that sucker in and she should be ready to go again.

I actually like how it sounds. It sounds like a beast and I get to bug the hell out of my neighbors. :headbang:

I swear this thing turns heads. You'd have to be a badass to ride this on the streets. :Kick
