Default Life Lesson

So after spending the last 6 weeks fixing my bike from a crash, I finally have it to the point I could take it out for a test ride. 5 mins from my house, the bike stalls. Continuing on, it was stalling about every 3rd time I pull in the clutch. After all the other bs I've put up with in the process of this repair (bolts shearing, wrong mailed parts, etc) I wasn't absolutely furious about this - plus the fact that something may be seriously wrong.

After coming home and looking some stuff up on here, turns out the problem was........

.....Loose Battery Terminals!!!

Just a friendly reminder that in repairs, check the "Stupid Sh*t First"!!

Those little things are enough to drive a person insane...

Glad to hear that it was something minor although still aggravating.

That is frustrating, glad you got it figured out now.

It usually is the smallest things we overlook. I once overlooked burned bulbs.
