I'm looking for a left fork lower/slider and front axle for a 1989. My axle and lower are stripped :dash2:

I'm in CNY, I can pay shipping or meet if somewhat local.

Thank you-Nate

You'll need to get these repairs made before you can really proceed with diagnosing the issue.

The ignition plug might have enough power to light a test light, but does it have enough to power everything needed to run the bike.

I just saw Derek and Donna's post. I also have to bow out from attending this year. I have had to cancel my reservations. I needed 3 days of vacation to be able to attend. My employer gives us 24 hours of floating holiday pay. Which in years past, we were able to use in 8 hour increments for any time off throughout the year. This year they changed it. We now HAVE to use 8 hours for the day after Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. That leaves me short 16 hours of time needed for the WCR.
Hoping everyone that attends will have a safe and wonderful time.

The aft connector has power on the red and power on the brown also when the key is turned on.

I also discovered where my 2 spare fuses are located in my fuse box...^^

Good to know!

Ok I pulled the red connector, from the outside it looked very normal but inside was similar to
the image posted on a thread here on Mar 17, 2015, post #3. I will email you  some pics.

Thanks,

I just tried to clean the spades a bit and tested for continuity at both ends on the plug when connected
and a bit spotty but i was getting a tone.

Then I probed all 3 wires on both sides of the connected connector with a test light and all 3 wires on both sides
illuminated the light. Should all 3 be hot? I can always hear the fuel pump priming when I turn the key on but nothing else.

The spade side of the connector has a bit of wire to work with if I replaced it but the female side it quite tight to that harness. Is your ignition repair kit compatible with the female side of the connector if I wanted to just replace the male half with the hole?

Still shows power of the 4 outer fuses with the test light but not the 2 most inboard ones.

I will check my manual and try to find the alternator..

Thanks again for your help!
