Talking to a friend last night, he mentioned having a bike with an electric starter that would not start. The bike had gas, spark, etc. Everything he checked was fine. Finally, in frustration he dropped it off with a friend who has rebuilt many motorcycle engines.
After diagnosis, replacing the starter motor allowed the bike to start!
The problem was determined to be an electric starter motor that would not disengage with the flywheel. The starter was simultaneously acting as a motor to rotate the crankshaft and also as a brake to prevent the crankshaft from spinning faster than the starter motor would allow.
First time I have ever heard of such a thing. Not sure my thought processes would have figured that one out.

I think you have had your Brevas for the same time as I have, i.e. when they first came out. I still love mine, and it will see me out.

At 75 years of age, no broken bones and like Mike "just a bit of gravel rash", this season was the first time I put the rego on hold two months early. With major lower back issues and a left hiop that has suddenly decided to get osteo, I realised that the mind may be willing but the flesh is indeed weak as I had to enlist the help of my friend to get me on and off the bike. For 60 years I have pulled up at the lights and put my left leg down, the same leg now folds every now and then.
Will it make me give it up? At the moment, no. I get so much enjoyment from being on the bike. I have never been Ricky Racer and have never been addicted to horsepower, the 48 neddies of my Breva I find more than adequate. It will be my body that lets me down.
I used to like, for those that remember him, J.B's (RIP) avatar, "I will stop riding when they prise my cold dead fingers off the throttle".

The benefit to a washable filter is that it's easily serviceable to ideally reduce operating cost, just like oiled foam filters used in dirty environments. Buy once, clean and re-oil multiple times. IMO if you're going to buy one that is the reasonable justification for it, not performance.

I have two maps saved on my computer. One is a 61601-381-02 and the other is 61600-035-00. I don't know which is better or what the difference is. I can say that they both work on my 2003 california ev.

I’ve had the same problem on my 07 Norge for the 9 years I’ve owned it, cleaned the switches several times, the problem crops up when I want to set the clock,which I’ve now given up trying. It was a choice between seeing the trip meter both A and B or having a clock. I now disconnect the bike battery wait several minutes and start over after reconnecting the bike battery, I know there is a battery in the dash, which has never been changed, and perhaps if that was also removed or changed I’d regain function, but I’ve learned to live with it as is.
