Went to the DMV, got the registration taken care of (special interest plate for $112 one time fee, never have to renew) and then buttoned everything up ready for a break in ride. It started ok. I was getting kickback so I retarded it a little. I still don’t like it. Still it started and ran. Then forgot I didn’t put the mirrors on. And then finally I was ready with @Mike T as my wingman. Made it around the block before dying. Felt like an electrical issue. Light still work. Need to check out the ground and the ignition wiring again.
How many miles do I need to do to consider it broken in?
Had to push it home in 85 degree weather. @Mike T offered multiple times to help but I turned him down. Except when it came time to push it up the driveway into the garage and right back into the lift.
Grabbed the Interstate and still went for a ride. Beauty of having a backup bike or three.
