What Did You Do to Your RX3 Today?

A little update on my bike problem mentioned above. Road it again today with 3/4 of a tank of gas , it started dying intermittently again. I nursed it back to my shop and figured it had to be something I did since I adjusted the valves a few weeks ago. Maybe I put a kink in the gas line when I put tank back on? Anyways it all looked OK. I also put back in the old S'plug if perchance the new NGK was faulty. I grabbed the battery tender lead to plug it in for charging cause I kinda ran the battery down trying to start it out in the country. It came away from the terminals that had been loosened an not retightened by someone (ahem). Apparently it made good enough contact most of the time but giggled loose some of the time keeping it from running all of the time. As I took it on a test run after tightening and buttoning everything back up I remember my dad telling me that most problems that seem complex usually aren't. Well except for woman

Thanks dad, rj
