Here's what day one looks like:
- Buy motorcycle cover of some sort
- ok, so the thing is sitting in the parking lot of my apartment.. I don't really wanna have people throwing a fit that I'm working on my bike here. Best way I know to achieve this is an "out of sight, out of mind" policy. uhh.. looks like they're kind of expensive. so we'll go with the "home depot" tarp + bungee cord option.
- remove seat
- remove gas tank
- remove spark plugs
- spray in wd40.
- loosely put spark plugs back into spark plug holes
- let sit for 1-2 days.
- get cm400 battery charged
- get 30 Amp fuse and fuse holder and install..
- saw a "frankenstein" fix for this same problem on some other forum
Here's what day two looks like:
- drain oil and refill
- don't think i need a new oil filter just yet.. should be like a car oil filter, where it's just bypassed if crappy.
- remove spark plugs
- hook up battery and verify main power is on
- crank engine over and feel for compression on each cylinder by placing thumb over spark plug hole. if this works then we'll move on.
I'm gonna stop here for now. If we don't have compression, then there might not be any reason to continue.
