Well, my E is still dead. After getting my other 3 bikes going by charging the battery, I tried putting the battery from my 2003 DRZ-E on the charger. Turns out the battery was totally dead – my charger wouldn’t even try to put a charge on it. So I went down and got a new battery, installed it, and the bike fired right up. Woo-hoo!!! Well, not so fast… I took it on a short ride just b/c it’s so much fun, shut it down, and then tried to start it again “just to be sure”. Dead as a doornail again. I know it sounds like an amazing coincidence, but I guess my old battery went dead at almost the exact same time it developed a wiring problem. So the E still isn’t running. I finally made room in the garage for it, so at least it won’t get rained or snowed on until I can get it figured out. I almost have the new graphics ready to put on, which I’ll do as soon as I take it down and get the for seals replaced. Also, tonight I ordered a set of DRZ-SM headlight brackets. I hope they work or can be made to work. Supposedly the DRZ-SM forks are the same diameter as the RMZ450 forks I’m running, but when I measured the forks on both bikes to compare, the ones on my SM are 1mm less in diameter. Oh well, I’m rambling b/c I’m pissed b/c ALL of my WordPress sites got hacked this week. Don’t know how, don’t know why, and don’t know how to prevent it from happening again. GoDaddy CS isn’t being much help either.
