Okay there's no stupid questions, right? We've all heard that! Well hang on to your mouse!
History: Six weeks ago, a friend of mine, let's call him Jim Beam, and I got together and around 2AM we wound up on E-Bay. Next morning, when I sobered up, Well, Ole Jed, I mean Jim, was a Millionare! Jim was already, I made him rich! But I was also the proud owner of a 2007 VRSCAW! I'm an old fart and haven't been this excited since they snatched the Lindbergh baby!
On the other hand, I've lurked on this site and haven't read this much good literature since the Kennedy assasination. But then, I have a limited time to live and need some answers to the following questtions that ARE studid! I've tried to figure these questions out on my own to no avail. So here we go:
Topless: What do we mean by this? I mentioned this to "ole what's her name" and she said she didn't want them dragging on the pavement. Maybe it means somthing else?
Rick's tank: What is wrong with the OEM and why/do I need one?
More technically: I took that ventilated thingy off the right hand side of the bike and found the 40W fuse thing and also an electical connector with a plug stuck in it.......What the heck is it for?
Then I went to put a rear BasePlate on the bike. The instructions said to note the routing of the electrical connections and be sure to put them back where they were! Well, I took the pillion off and the brain box just fell to the side! Putting things back I found a male connecter (looks waterproof) that doesn't apparently go to anything, a female fitting that has a plug in it that looks like it goes in the previous, but has a plug on it, and a big gray connector that apparently doesn't connect to anything. Everything on the bike works okay without these connected but what are they for? And what mounts on top of the brainbox for? This thing does have the factory security system, is this for the optional squealer?
