[QUOTE="CrashDoc, post: 113042, member: 22143"] Hello MotoChick/Brenda, So you've been out 2-wheel hiking and observed the reality of relying on electrical controlled mechanical devices. Yes it was kinda a bummer when the Hussie coasted to a stop, BUT you know as well (OR better then most individuals :-) that no matter the manufacturer or the age anything electrical/electronic can fail at any given time. Kinda makes ya wonder how those Tech 8's would do for long distance hiking ;-) , thinking that a loss of electricity could shut down a otherwise fun day of single track/exploration. I helped do some preliminary troubleshooting on the Hussie the other nite. Started with the kill/On/Off switch; good , coil; good , then did the stator ohm readings and it appears like one leg of the stator output has went south/open. We didn't have any tech knowledge on how to check out the CDI so hopefully the problem is just a bad stator, kind a bummer on that new of a bike. I can certainly appreciate the thought of carrying spare stuff, the problem being that every manufacturer seems to have a different electrical arrangement that is specifically molded/configured to a particular setup so you lose universality of useage between different bikes. We had 5 different manufacturers represented on that ride and we were the only two of the same manufacturer origin. I even wonder between our different aged KDX's if there would be any interchangeability?? Well I hope that some more of the experienced KDX owners will share their electical experiences so we can learn what might be good to pack along, besides a Buddy Tow.......... that doesn't seem to work too well on the steep loose uphills!! I LOVE my new Tech 8's, they are so comfy and walk-able, however I don't think they would be the ticket for hiking in!! :-) I'll call you later and chat! CrashDoc/My [/QUOTE]
