    Bueller?

    Finally got KLR jumped using the scary but tried and true screwdriver method across selenoid contact, but kinda not wanting to do this the whole weekend...

    Happy to buy or use a Loaner... lemme know if anybody's got anything.

    poole dot darren at gmail dot com if that is easier

    Thanks!

    :lol3...Sounds familiar. Roll the bike out the day b4 leaving to see if what you broke from the last ride has 'healed' miraculously while in the garage in between. Been there done that.

    Hope you find the solenoid Gentry!

    Al Tuna, thanks so much, but I said, in classic KLR owner fashion....

    "Hmmm... wonder what they have that might work at the Auto parts store?"

    Picked up a generic one, still have to wire it in.... we'll see how close to the Beaver I make it.... :lol3 or :cry We'll see.

    thanks for looking out for me however! :clap It is greatly appreciated!

    Localmoto....My grandfather is going to be around the campground most of the weekend co-ordinating rides, riders, cellphones, maps, etc. I'm sure he can send you to whichever party you need to be with. He's a really nice old guy, rather frail and skinny....when you get to Crawford's , just ask for Al or Kirk....he goes by both names. Just don't get in his way to the cooler, he gets mean when he can't get to his buttermilk.
