first ride of the year on my K-Pipe
« on: May 15, 2023, 08:34:36 PM »
been sitting since November, not on a battery tender, still enuf juice to dimly light the instrument cluster & lights.
all it took was 3 kicks with the choke on, started right up, after that, just one kick, put about 40 miles on it. and plugged into my battery tender when I got home, hopefully it will take and hold a charge....... Dead battery in my Tacoma, replaced free by NAPA, my AK has a dead battery too.

That's one thing I like about the K-Pipe, it has always started easy with the kick start, never more than 3 kicks cold, and first kick after it's been started once in the day, even if it has cooled for 5-6 hours
