 :) While most here on the ROV are well versed in what is required to get a sad and often neglected Vision up and running, we continue to get new people from all over the globe joining our family.

To them I offer this one, (of many), tip...

With the gas tank and air box removed, look to the left side (as you sit on your "V") of the steering head reinforcement plate...you will see two M6 acorn nuts that hold the left side coil in place...remove them (M10 socket/wrench) and remove the coil. You can then locate a short black wire with a ring terminal, coming from the wire loom. This is a ground/earth wire...clean the ring connector and the frame were it connects with emery cloth/sand paper, smear with dielectric grease, (or even Vaseline), and reinstall the coil with the ring connection going to the rear coil stud....VOILA!!!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA lets go again baby !!!!!!

'82 Vision, Pearl Orange finish, lots of up-grades!!!
