So I would like to tell you guys and gals a story. I don't even charge a cover for your ears, but, all I ask, is that you do not judge me on the one occurrence alone... Please? Lol
So have I have owned my S10 for a bout a week now. Long story short. Last night I change the oil, drive around the block, pick up, not one, but two bloody nails in my rear tire. Not too pissed off because the tire was almost dead anyway, I plug the holes just so I can make it to the bike shop the coming weekend. I park the bike in the garage go to bed and drive my truck to work.
I come home and try to start the bike to check oil levels. No luck! She turns over but doesn't start. I check battery voltage (it's a new battery. 4 days old just installed it) voltage is good the bike was on the tender all night. I pull fuses, I check gas and about a dozen other things. So I proceed tho google the inter web and found me a slew of page after page after page of not stating and or hard starts.
Kinda annoyed I think o will call the dealer wher I bought the bike and seek advice. Vuala, the (super nice) guy who sold me the bike answers the phone. I explain the situation. He ask that I hook the S10 to my truck battery, effectively jumping the bike. I say no problem, I have a 15ft battery tender extension with clamps and I will call you back as soon as I have this hooked up.
I walk to my truck, which is parked behind my bike and "pop the hood". I hookup the clamps and as I turn around and face the rear end of my bike. I notice something.... it was in this moment I realized exactly how many thoughts can go through a mans mind all at the same time. After I realized why the bike is not stating, I thought, how in gods green earth, do I call back and admit what I just saw. Because it was at this moment, I realized that I wanted to wash my bike earlier that day and I proceed to shove the exhaust "water plug" in the exhaust when I got home and forgot about it.
I called the dealer and again, vuala! It's him, on the first try!!!! We had some good laughs. Lol
