Always good to hear from you.
I admit that ...Jack,<br />Always good to hear from you. <br />I admit that Max is not up to the sophisticated level of electronic mania that a BMW might be, however, what was maddening about the situation was the inconsistency of the problem that made it a bit difficult to diagnose, at least for an idiot like me.<br />Richard, Dom and Bobskoot helped out a lot, being the expert gearheads they obviously are. But in a way, you helped out a lot also by making me always have my MagLite handy when needed. It is an indispensable tool of modern man, don't you think?<br /><br />Jimbocpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-7908521357749606012012-06-20T12:06:33.105-05:002012-06-20T12:06:33.105-05:00Dear Jimbo,

It restarted five minutes later and I went back the the garage. Prying up the gas tank revealed the relay box (the K75 had about six of them)and sure enough, the one to the ignition was loose. Problem solved. Yet a month later, I notice inactivity on the radiator fan and yet another relay was the culprit. This time, the contacts were rotted. <br /><br />I was pissed, until the mechanic pointed out the relays were 16 years old. I have since been advised that a lot of relays available at electronics stores or auto parts places can be made to work, if temporarily, on the road. <br /><br />It might pay to get a spare, unless your bike has a lot of different ones. <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack/reep<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-77440563419205821972012-06-19T09:13:32.786-05:002012-06-19T09:13:32.786-05:00My sincere thanks to all of you folks for helping ...My sincere thanks to all of you folks for helping to diagnose the issue. Many moons ago I used to work on my vehicles a lot, but not much recently until Max came along. I am sort of enjoying it again (sort of) except when it gets frustrating or dealing with something I know little about.<br /><br />I knew it was the air filter all along,<br /><br />Jimbocpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-9573198315711548442012-06-19T06:05:28.279-05:002012-06-19T06:05:28.279-05:00I'm glad you're back on the road!
