Anyone in the Charlotte/Monroe, NC area EXPERIENCED with working on the Vee...

[guiri]

that would like to do some work to it for me against payment of course?

I CAN take it to the suzy shop but there are quite a few things I was going to have done to it
and it's prolly gonna cost a pretty penny to get it done there and needless to say, I'm looking
to save some money on this.

I DO believe in supporting my local dealers and it’s a good thing to do for when you want to ask the occasional question but then, there IS the question of having the money.

I can pay cash or trade for stuff or my services. Whichever suits you better.
I have some Vee stuff if you’re interested.

Here’s what I need done:


1. Stator is not charging so that needs to be replaced and possibly rectifier and magnets.
2. I’m getting the modified Clutch basket to fix the chudder.
3. Putting on a Stebel Horn bracket and horn
4. Adding some rocker switches to the bike
5. Adding volt meter
6. Hook up the brake lights to the Givi E55 Maxia case.
7. Fix the leaking reservoir (coolant and someone suspected it was leaking at this T connection)
8. Hook up the Shorai Li-Ion charging cable so that it’s outside and I don’t have to remove the seat to charge it.
9. Hook up lights and relays for the extra lights so that they’re ready to hook up
10. Replace levers because the ones I have now are a little far away for my fingers.
11. Replace grips with Grab On grips

12. Hook up a License plate LED 13. Disconnect the Park setting…”You can cut the brown wire from the ignition switch and connect the bike side of the cut brown wire to the green wire.” 14. Disconnect the cruise control kit 15. On off switch for the headlights Right now, the bike isn’t charging the batteries at all and I literally can’t go anywhere so I’m in a bit of a hurry to get this done. I had made some plans based on having the bike and this of course throws a huge monkey wrench in them. Thanks George

I could do a good bit of that.

Wow! that sucks dude. I know you just bought the bike. I guess that is one of the risk when you buy a bike sight unseen other than from photos and the seller opinion on condition.

Wouldn't have mattered and only way to find out would have been to ride it for days to see if it charged.
He also kept it on a tender so hey prolly didn't know.

[truck6driver]

I'm not really local but.......... I am familar with electrical wiring work. If you have the manual I can help with the stator and clutch as well.

If you wanted to ride to Fayetteville I would be willing to help out. I work for food and soda. (don't drink)

Damn, I appreciate the hell outta the offer but I think I've found someone local but it won't be until NEXT weekend. :(

Thanks

Just for info, I always heard that new lithium ion batteries were not suited for bikes which had constant drain such as the Vee since it has a clock and does impose a constant drain. Can't validate either way but that's what I always heard. When the battery on my bike went out, I bought a cheaper substitute (generic type) which lasted only about a year. I ended up replacing with another Yuasa same type and never had any more issues. Just like you, I do keep it on a battery tender.

Jon, the previous owner kept it on a tender, not me which is one reason he prolly didn't know about this problem but I personally do NOT want to keep it on a tender for several reasons. Laziness being one of them, BUT, more than that, I think a damn MC battery should be able to sit without having to be babied or it ain't worth a shit but that's just me.

Good thing we didn't go for that ride, huh?

I don't disagree but I keep both my KLX and DL on battery tenders. Yeah, it may seem like you are babying the batteries,,,, OK actually you are but for me, it's just one less thing to worry about on my precious riding days.. as I expect the damn bike to start when I am fully dressed, ready to ride!

Let's catchup on another day

OK Hope you get it straightened out.

Catchup is better than mustard in my opinion even though I don't even like that but hey, I digress.

I agree with the bike being ready to ride but when you have the problem I have and you keep it on a tender, you take off riding and everything's well till you get to the point where your light has exhausted the battery 'cause your stator doesn't charge it AND you don't about the problem know 'cause you had it on a tender.

Now you're out there with no way to start the bike unless you find someone with jumper cables.
Well, that's all well and good but then you discover that your HID lights do NOT work if there's not enough
juice in the battery and now you have to limp home in the dark WITHOUT any lights at all, WHICH by the way I had to do with the Vee.

Apart from not seeing shit, there's a huge chance of getting busted by the po po and getting a fine or some points on your license or something.

Yeah, babying the batteries may be good but you don't know if there is a problem... :(

There IS a reason I'm getting an on off switch installed for the headlights while I'm having all the other stuff done.
I'm not going through this shit again.

Also, I'm in the process of starting to sell LED lights (extra lights) for bikes and trucks (including light bars) that I will be importing myself so I'm going to have a set of LED lights on a separate switch so that if this happens again, I can at least drive home with SOME light to hopefully avoid being stopped.

Hell, I have super powerful flashlights so I may even put a flashlight holder somewhere, JUST in case.

Thank you sir and again, thanks for the offer. I'm a near beer guy myself :)

Sorry I never got back to you, PM box has been a little crazy since I put my bike up for sale.
