One aspect of this adventure is the fact that the entire Sturgis / Black Hills area is really not all that biker friendly.
That trip left a bad taste in my mouth about the area.
Wow I can see my desire dwindling to make that trip... Had always thought I would at some point...We made a trip to Deadwood in 07 and did not experience any negative biker treatment at all and had a great stay. It was July and Sturgis was like a ghost town but the one restuarant that was open was very biker friendly. The owner was a rider and sat down with us and had a nice chat and told us about some great local roads.
Does anyone know what the part number for the stronger spring is?
............... But in general they want you to come, spend your money, and leave as soon as you can.

Guys. After a couple of hours it connected & I haven't turned it off since. Ate a seventy dollar
Motel room and left last night. Near Chicago and trying to make it home. It never had any previous symptom.
The bike just went over ten thousand on this trip

I asked about the part number for the new stronger spring when my bike was repaired.
I was told that there wasn't a new part number, just a stronger spring....
I don't know, didn't push it further as the guys at Razee Motorcycles are top notch....
Yeah, me too- the whole spring thing is being handled pretty close to the vest.... No part number, no knowledge of when, or even if, it is used in newer ignition assemblies, etc. I don't really blame Kawi though as there would be a line a mile long for the new spring if it was a traceable part.
OFFTOPIC a little bit: Did you get your new air filter in your bike OK? If so, I have an amusing story about that. If not, I have absolutely no knowledge about the air filter or any other major maintenance performed on your bike....

Can you elaborate a little bit on what the specific problem was and what you mean by 'it connected'? What did you do, if anything, to cause it to work?
Brian
I like amusing stories, but start a new thread with it. We haven't had a funny air filter story in awhile.
I just got home, 1 o'clock est., I didn't sleep the whole trip, except last night, on a rest stop floor, for about a half hour. About a quarter way down the Penn. Turnpike, heading east, I guess, I dozed off. When I looked up, I was about to sideswipe the wall. I don't know how I didn't go down, but held it up, sideswiped the cement median.
The left mirror got a little scratched and the saddel bad has a nice war scare on it now. Anyway I'm ready to go again.
Back to the bike, I shut it down at home and it's dead in the water, glad I let it run the past two days. Will look into the connections, when I feel mentally repaired.
What I meant by contact is, the panel lit up as normal, by pressing the key down, lighting up and hearing the click. The bike fired up without a problem, before that, pressing the key down, or using the fob method, got no response at all, like the battery wasn't connected, hopefully, that's what it is.
It sure sounds like a connection problem. I'll get back here as soon as I can think straight. Thanks, for all the responses guys. By the way, it was the trip of a lifetime, I'm ready to go again.
Wow, it was only going to be a one- post deviation. How about a little judicial discretion subject to later tie- in?
Brian
Nope. I need amusement and one post ain't gonna do it. And I want it separate because we deserves it.
