WUT?!
WUT?!
wutchu talkin bout willis?!
this guy....
you're fired! lol
but we should still take the bikes out sometime (unless you got rid of that too?!)
And on topic....
I went to fry's and got a flashing red L.E.D. that I have yet to install for my backup light switch since the switch is just a small metal toggle switch with no indicator, and I seem to forget to turn the backup lights off and end up driving down the road with them on the whole time
So the LED flashing should get my attention. "hey dummy, turn your reverse lights off!!!"
And I also got a resistor for my high idle switch to replace the resistor for 3-cyl high idle.
the person who put the switch together used cheap radio shack resistors in it with a +-5% tolerance. he also used a 56k-ohm resistor which normally would be fine if the tolerance is tight enough. like 1% or less. but 5% leaves a lot of room too much room infact.
so the point of the resistor is to fool the ECM into thinking it is below 15* outside. well when it was actually below 15* outside the resister told the ECM it was 20* outside so 3-cyl idle never came in...
and at 32* out it showed 18* from the resistor...where when I first got it, it showed 14* (what a 56k-ohm resistor should show)
So I replaced it with a 68k-ohm 2% tolerance resistor and it now shows 10* IAT temp not as tight of a tolerance as I would like, but going from a 56k-ohm to 68k-ohm makes enough difference that it will keep the temp reading low enough that the tolerance doesn't really matter. as long as it holds a reading below 15* 3-cyl mode should engage (and it does )
So did some unsoldering and soldering of a resister inside the switch box.
Haven't gotten around to the LED install yet, but I'll get there eventually.

he rides a barbie power wheels
even if ya did get rid of the quad though (which you said you didn't lol)
I do have 2 bikes
though the second bike isn't anywhere near as fast, but it is still fun to ride 
(tops out about 45-50mph vs 95mph in half the time on the 2-stroke)first bike being the '03 KX250 (2-stroke)
second being the '79 XR250 (4-stroke) - thing is an old school TANK! heavy but like riding on a caddy lol. old school dual shock suspension and heavy bike with large front wheel (23") makes for a nice ride and it hops logs like nothin.

LOL. I have a small fleet of toys. Main ride is my crf450, then my 88 Kawasaki tecate with a crf450 motor, then the wifes dune bike is a banshee, then the wifes trail bike is a 91 250x
