Should I fix the electric start or the brakes first?

[tri again]

85 sx's.

Also wonder if anyone has had trouble using
pantyhose over an air filter as a, well, prefilter.?

Do they melt with the gas fumes and ruin everything?

I guess I should expect some smart *&^ answers but it's nice to know everyone
is feeling feisty after such a long winter.

They say with all the pollen in the air, environmental estrogen levels
are off the charts.

Well, since your talking about riding with pantyhose on... You dont need to explain the high estrogen levels! (especially in OR from the sound of it!!) JK These have intrigued me...

Personally, I would fix the E start first...

I would also fix the Electric Start first. My sx is a B**ch to start when its cold with the kicker.

Brakes aren't optional equipment..electric start is. No brainer answer I think.

The electric start is not too useful if the brakes don't work.

I'd fix the starter....I rode without brakes for almost a full year. Downshifting. Unless your gonna be riding public trails then fix the brakes first.

Going is optional, stopping is MANDATORY.

Cute! and appreciated.
Thanks

This is the grass seed capitol of the world so the pollen these days will plug up an air filter within minutes, it seems.

Lots of horses get hoof rot called 'founder' because of the hot (estrogen) grasses here too.

Best to go run the dunes this time of year

Yeah well one of mine wouldn't start with the electric.
It simply wanted a kick at the EXACT correct spot on the compression stroke and it would go.

whereas a 30 second spin with the starter would NOT get it going.

I eventually reamed out the cold start jet and wonder why I waited so long to fix it correctly.

You Do know there was a cold start recall on those and a service bulletin on here somewhere right?
especially if you have a keihin QA 01 carb on it.

Point well taken.
Safety first everyone.

See... Now my SX is sitting in the garage, needing brakes and electric start fixed... I would fix the starter first, because then I could go out, pop the button and at least listen to it run... Untill the brakes were fixed. But if I had to go for a ride, I would just jump on the BR... Stopping isnt critical right now, because my SX isnt ready to go for a few reasons...

I'd do the brake, if you have another option for starting the bike then brakes first electric start second... my .02 cents

[TatTooL23]

Brakes first. Come on, how is this a question? It has a kick start. With the brakes working u could have the trike in good shape much much longer. Just takes one wreck and either the trike is out of commission or u r. Hey but then u could limp out to it when its all smashed and not rideable and push the start button and go no farther then that. Lol.

You could just buy the correct parts, spend one good afternoon in the garage and have them both fixed fairly quick. Neither one is very hard to do.

Just remember, brakes slow you down, who wants to go slow anyways?

Fix the electric start first, that will make you want to fix the brakes!
