Two quick questions.
I had my front plastics hanging by my blinker wire (stupid I know but my said fairing is broken in half so it was the lighter smaller side) and it fell on the ground pulling the wires apart. I go to put them back together and I see this:
(Please click link, I cant seem to get it to show here as I get the error "The number of tags you tried to add exceeded the maximum number of tags by 20." and have to start post all over again each time) http://adventuresofkerri.com/images/20160624_110040.jpg
After 4 years and around 35K miles added to my bike (over 60K miles total!) and I discovered something new the old owner did. It looks like for some reason the ground is missing coming from the blinker and somehow he put it together using a spare short wire that I couldnt figure out where it was going to. I used my best guess and apparently I didnt do it right because the second I put the bike on the right blinker light just stayed on, on the dashboard and while it did kinda work it didnt work too well and blew the fuse pretty quickly anyway. So how did he do it?
The second question is unrelated but figured I would put it into the same post because I expect it to be a quicker answer. My tire is leaking air from the base of the valve stem (at the rim) because of pulling out my chain that I lock my bike with from there and having it rip at it. Is there a way to pop the old one out and put a new one in without taking off the tire? I called a few shops in the area and they all want to charge me the rate of what they would to mount and balance a new tire (which while this tire does have some life left in it, it isnt new anymore and it kinda sucks having to pay to the full rate when some months down the road Im going to have to do it again as Ive been putting on at least 200 miles or more to my bike each week)
Thanks everyone
