Bad to worse
I bought my 98 XT6e as a project to slowly kit up and do a long tour on, but I've got real doubts about that now.
Yesterday I tried to adjust my clutch in order to stop drag and subsequent gear selection problems. After one such adjustment I was testing the bike when the starter motor engaged (don't ask me how or why) and would not switch off, eventually running the battery right down.
Today got a battery charger, charged battery, deh deh deh, but the starter motor no longer works. Push starter button, nothing,just whiring of solenoid I think.
Whoever said in one of the posts here that you don't need a kickstart you can just bump it, has not tried bumping a f&*cking great single with clutch drag. And that's on tarmac, not sand!!!
I got a lot of work ahead of me I can see. First stop a kickstart as backup.
