Continuing with my usual theme of two steps forward and one step back, this could be another one of those. However, if it's as I think it is (usually isn't), we should have made a turn.
Although the bike is now in the backyard (I say backyard, but it's really more like a patio), I did some tooling around on her this past weekend. Not a ton, because it was 116 degrees in Phoenix, and even without the direct sunlight it was really just not fun. I can talk myself into hiking in the heat, or kayaking in the heat, or riding a bicycle even sometimes. But this just wasn't enjoyable.
Having said that, all I wanted to really get at was sorting out and setting up the M-Unit to correspond correctly with the OEM handlebar controls I'm using. Or trying to use, since I discovered the left side controls are falling apart in their old age and that concerns me. More on that later...
After some fiddling around and charging up the battery to full goes to 11 power, I think I've now got the M-Unit configured to work with this old controls. Thing is- since I wired everything up originally- exactly the way it was supposed to - and it didn't work, I tried this then I tried that... and so while I think I've not got the M-Unit setup, I can't really tell for sure until I go back and rewire everything- like it's supposed to be, once again.
Follow all that?
Translation: it's that two steps thattaway and one step thattaway. Again.
Progress though.
I hesitate to say I feel good about it or I think I've got it handled, or blah blah. Still, if the setup is indeed correct, I could be back on the road to recovery.
Or at least the fork leading to that road.
I could really use some less heat though...
