Not to beat a dead horse but I am at a place called wit's end without a beer
intermittent complete loss of ignition, tach swings left and the lights stay on ..... flubs comes back to life runs fine for 5 minutes and starts spitting again driving me nuts
have tried every fix suggested on this forum from top to bottom front to back, electric and carb
getting really fed up of this bike....I have worked on this thing more in the last year than any other motorcycle I have ever owned.....there are no good mechanics for this bike around here mention the word Vmax and eyes glaze over and a microfiche for a snowmobile gets pulled out from under a dusty Cindy Lauper LP
so I am on my own with the help of the forum
I am getting to the point of wanting to sell it.......just spent yet another evening in the garage pea shooting syncing tightening and rechecking in a desperate attempt to get rid of the misfire that has plagued this machine since the very first ride
does it cold does it hot does it wet does it dry does it on a full tank low tank on reserve off reserve low speed high speed
flubs/stalls/misfire rolling 5 seconds then WOT 5000 rpm 2000 rpm 4000 rpm 6000rpm
stalls/misfire/flub when coming to a stop when driving away slowly or quickly
has stalled at almost every engine speed except perhaps 9500 rpm with my teeth clenched in a delirious rage after having restarted at a stop light
I want sleep uninterrupted by nightmares of overworked evil Japanese engineers in the mid 80's looking to hide coils under mountains of electric wire and mysterious black boxes
Mr Max I hate you I love you I want to set you on fire
I want single malt and fuel injection
