Still have key switch problems, after several tries got started, had fixed speedometer cable problem. When for a ride on new front tire, very smooth.
Engine running better, no missing, will only get up to 62, @ 5000rpm. Oh well, it runs & starts after several tries. Will cut out the small
Fuse, & replace it with a blade fuse on the small red wire on the starter solenoid. Rain & cool today. Have not replaced the plastics yet.
Just want to ride some. Have to go to work tomorrow. I do thank you for the information.

Use solder paste for soldering. A small jar will last for years. Prepare your wire & connection, dip into paste place together. A snug fit is best.
Have your iron hot wipe all old solder, crud off, with a nice shine tip add a little solder, & place on your connection.
The heat will flow the solder into the connection, remove the iron. Test by pulling on each end, the paste does the work.
Hope this helps!

11/22/13 did 2000 mile oil change, @ 2200 had speedometer cable problem, tried to get inside at the wheel, busted.
After 2 tries finally got right one. Week later started having power (electrical )problems, still chasing down gremlins.
1/3/14 Upgraded coil & spark plug, nice tan color on old plug tip, have broken bracket on air cleaner.
Making another bracket with 1/8"x1/2" alum bar stock.

First off, I would like to thank John Plautus w/tvacman@aol.com. He had called me about a post I sent him, was very helpful about my problem.
Then he asked about south Louisiana , as I have been down here since Sept, 1968. I have a current CLD, & have worked on the water most of
The time. Still working on liftboats in the oil field in the bayous & lakes. After I got home, did some checking & cleaning the key area.
Spayed the WD-40 in & working the key a while, I finally got power, & reliable starts ( ?), I had pulled all china fuses out & replaced with
The same amps fuses after checking with omn meter. Anyway it starts, yea. Now it's 40* & raining , south Louisiana winter weather.
Thank you John, really enjoyed the phone call! Oh yes got some dielectric grease at 3 this morning, rain all day, just have not used it yet.

Turn key on this morning, nothing!,, no tail lights, nothing. Had left on battery charger, low voltage. Battery is 13.8 volts, check for fuse,
Unless there is another up front? Recheck ground, scrape agin & tighten. When jump across silnoit, starter turns over. Just no 12 volt
Power anywhere. Will check for a post similar to this. Just about had it with problem after problem.
No lights, horn, signals.

Finally got started, had to twist gas about four times, started. Had to up idle to 1700 rpm, to smooth out engine.
Had let it warm up first. Runs rough around 5000 rpm, seems to lose power, but climes to 7000. Am waiting
For speedometer part to ride.

Had battery at 10 volts, 3 amp. Replaced with new 2 year 12 volt. Hit start button, only a click at the starter. What else can I check?
12/24/13 had charged up battery 13 volts, jump across, can now crank the motor. Still does not start, use a five second spin, wait 10
Seconds, and try again. After a few tries, charge the battery. Has fuel, can smell gas in ex hast . ? Any way thank you for the help.

I have changed to to LEDs on turn signals, with no increased blinking, but brighter lights. Also changed tail & brake lites, also brighter with less
wattage use. Added 24 LEDs on front running lites. This was six months ago. Hope this helps.

How does one soften the rear shocks, these Louisiana roads, is jarring my back hard? I have a Jonway YY250T 2012, run 28# in front, 29# in rear , weight 220#. Have thought of trying to pull one apart, & changing oil, or oil level or adding air value. Had a thread on upgrade to a cb 350 shock, lost the thread. Please help.    Attachments:

Thanks anyway, I'm using a IPAD . Just finished 1000 mile oil change, engine oil was dark, no
Metal in screen. Rear end oil slightly milk, about color of coffee with creamer. Normally a white
Milk, is water in oil. Will check in another 1000 miles, nuts & bolts all were tight. Have some
Projects to do. Just need the time, started raining , when I finished the oil changes. You all
Ride safe, & problem free.
