I looked at a schuberth helmet the other day it is a full face that the whole chin piece and shield open up, also has a tinted part that you can drop down when you need it It is expensive, just wondering if anyone out there uses one or could give any advise is it worth it or is another brand better?? thanks

no start after doohicky installation

I just installed a new doohickey and spring (the OEM one was still OK) and now the motor won't start. Only 4,058 km on the bike. It turns over good and it sounds like the plug is firing about every half second while cranking the starter. You can even feel the firing strokes when you put your hand near the exhaust, but it just won't catch and run. Is it possible to screw up the timing during the doohickey installation which I thought went rather well? I did not touch the chains or try to shave down the lower bolt boss because the bike was leaned over and I didn't want pieces falling down into the oil channel on the bottom. The bike was not run since October, but it fired up quickly and ran well a couple of days ago. Your suggestions about what might be wrong would be appreciated. Thanks, Richard Korpela Chapleau, ON A15

Sounds like the fuel line may have beem swapped with the vacumn line, seen it done before. Or the nuetral wire just in front of the counter sprocket hasn't been seated, also had that happen. Brad A15 Centralia, WA
