Just picked up my first TW.
|

|
|

Just got my first TW. It's 1999 with 1500 miles on it. Got it for $1000. Pretty good deal I think. It runs good but needs an electric start.
I wanna change the plug. What plug does it take and whats the gap?
And can you upload pic's if your using internet explorer??

Alright Im using IE and I have the photos uploaded to photobucket. I copy and paste the image code, it shows in the preview page but not in the post. I know this is a common problem from reading previous threads but i cant figure out a solution. Is there a way to get a pic up without using firefox?
