Millau and the Bridge
« on: June 25, 2007, 11:09:23 AM »
Good morning All !

The last week, I've made a trip from my area, (between Lyon and Grenoble near The Alps) to the Pyrenees (Mountain between Spain and France and Atlantic ocean and Mediteranean sea).

I rode 1100 miles through different landscapes of France.
You'll discover these in four topics for the most important steps :
1) Millau and the Bridge
2) East Pyrenees mountain
3) The Cathare area
4) The gorges of Tarn.

I wished to travel to the European Rally in Fuengirola in the South of Spain but I was not sure of my stock CUSE².
My wish was to meet the other europeans friends of the CVO sites during this event.
So, I decided a ride with similar conditions of temperature for test my gaskets and others parts.
Result : My starter is out and the bike run very hot (see the pic of my left leg)

When I read the problems of Eqcons (Jim of Scotland), I believe that I was careful  ....

Go with me in this Ride !

It's only on the transmission cover.
With the problem of my starter, the engine felt hot oil.
The ambiant temperature was 100° and I rode slow speed on the little roads.
Thursday, I'll put my bike to the dealer for the starter and I'll ask him what was the temperature.
I think that it's possible to know with his computer.

Concerning the problem with the starter, I think that it's not an electrical problem.

For start the engine :
I need have a speed, ignition "on" and to move my bike.
After, I go back to the neutral and it's possible to start the bike with the starter.
