See that silver thing on the battery box under the handlebars, key hole. Turn the key, flip that red switch on the right side of the bars, hold either of the brake levers, press the yellow button under the red switch. Or kickstart it if the battery is dead.

Oh electric start :lol: fancy.

I would've guessed it was like a backwards kickstart lever like Jeremy Clarkson's scooter in the vietnam episode.

Sent from my toaster

 

[94RS]

No... There's a backwards kickstarter too, left side on the middle of the CVT cover. Didn't Clarkson have a Vespa with too many mirrors though?

 

[R13]

Yep :lol:

Got a new head gasket, threw the original head on (supposed to raise compression), wouldn't even start. Put the big bore head back on, started up but wouldn't stay running. Now I need to tear the head apart again to adjust the timing a tooth.

I'm annoyed as hell with this bike at this point....

Finally got this b**** running Saturday night. Runs like it did when I first bought it.... Little bit faster though :lol:

This little pain in the ass on the left is what had me throwing tools trying to figure out wtf was wrong with my engine... :rolf:

That helmet's badass, What model?

Not exactly up to your AGV standards :lol: I took off the peak and installed the side covers and screw hole plug that came with it.

 

[R13]

I'm just an agv slut because of how comfy and light they are :lol:

That's a damn good price for an ECE 22.05 helmet, Looks pretty cool without the peak too.

I really wish I had a black ax8, The yellow is meh, I may dip mine to save the finish when I start riding again.

 

[94RS]

The thing's actually pretty damn comfy, plenty of ventilation and the drop down smoke visor comes handy. I still need to transfer my speakers from my Kali, but I've been too damn lazy :lol:

 

[R13]

I want that naked ax8 with a dark visor :lol:

Want that stealth fighter look, Then all I'll need is a flat black rsv4 to go with it.

 

[94RS]

So we're matching bikes to helmets now and not the other way around :lol:

 

[R13]

:lol:

I've always hated people who buy like their first bike and it's like a white r6 so naturally they go buy all white leathers and everything.

 

[94RS]

Honestly, I'd rather see someone in full matching leathers/helmet than the douche across the street from me.... Board shorts, tank top, flip flops, no helmet and ear buds in. Rides out first gear to redline and tries to pull wheelies (still in first gear) down traffic filled streets....
