From ADVRider - moto guy in Fremont had bike ignition damaged by thieves, anyone to help?

Knowing that TW people love to help and there's some of us with motorcycle passions as well, I thought I'd post this up for a guy from the ADVRider forum. If anyone can help a guy out before the weekend, I'm sure he would appreciate it.

Just FYI. If the bike has an immobilized, he may need to order from the dealer.

I'll look at the post later and if there's something I can do, I'll try. ADV people are pretty helpful too.

 

It's a 93 XR650. There is no Immobilizer. he's in a bit of luck. There is a Honda dealer and cycle salvage place nearby that might be able to help him out.

(**EDIT: ) Also, I believe the ignition switch on the XR650L only has 2 wires. A Red and a Red w/ black trace. If the ignition is not locked, he can unplug the switch and jumper those two wires and it should start normally.

I'm not a member of ADVRider so if someone can get that info to him. I, and I'm sure he, would appreciate it!

 

Thanks I will throw that back on ADVR!

For whatever reason the link doesn't work. I have an account in ADV Rider and logged in too.

I'm nearby and can help. I have some moto buddies that can help too.

I see PNW-flea-market, but not sure which sub forum...which forum is this in?

If you don't see the post, it's been deleted. The guys who run that part of the forum are strict about post content. If it's not according to the rules, it gets nuked. Might seem draconian but there are a lot of posts they go thru.

 

That's not always a bad thing...too bad it's a post from someone asking for help though.

 

it's because TW copies front slashes as %2 and it craps out in the browser
Copy and paste the link in your address bar.
Tagging @tcBob for awareness; I'll try and make mention of it in an appropriate thread later

 

Yeah. But, the volume of stuff that goes through the flea market is incredible. If the mods spent the amount of time required to fix/move/handle every broken post…you get the idea

 

BTW, do you remember the username?

I'm off to the dentist, hope that gets you rolling for now

 

Okey dokey. I called the guys at Fremont to arrange something for him. Plus, I direct messaged him and let him know what to do.

 

Now that I think of it I remember reading something on there about that. It'd be crazy for sure.

 

Thanks everyone!

 

Looks like he's decided to order something from Rocky Mtn but otherwise, he has things under control.
