So I push him down the drive again and this time he pops the clutch and then pulls it back in quickly, well well what do you know the bike is running really great, or is it, when he lets the clutch out it starts to move backwards !!!!!, holy shit the engine is running backwards, WTF, how the hell were we going to fix that. Anyways after much checking and discussing the possibilities (surly it cant be a mechcanical thing) I find we have crossed to of the wires for the CDI unit and by simply changing them back all was sweet.
Still cant believe how well it ran backawards tho, revved up just great an not even a stutter. LMAO.
